It has been quite a non happening month since my solo trip to the Greek islands and Istanbul. The weather in Amsterdam has been tricky to say the least. I am looking up to the skies and thinking, this is supposed to be summer. But we have been having rains and cloudy weather for most part of June. It does not pour like in Mumbai. Here it is just grey and bleak weather with a drizzle. I would take the torrential rain any day, but this isnt India.

Thankfully, after several weekends of bad weather (read rains and grey skies), we had a bit of sunshine this weekend. But let the sun and blue skies not fool you. It can be quite windy and the chill creeps in from no where. Nevertheless I was glad to be out. I was glad it wasnt drizzling. No wonder the Europeans have so many songs about blue skies and sunshine. It is because they see so little of it

There was a Thailand event happening in the City Center. So I went there with a friend of mine. They had food stalls and had a put up a stage , where they were doing some typical Thai dances. We tried some Thai street food. That is when we saw a monk sitting in one of the tents. He seemed to be some kind of fortune teller. It appeared as though he was doing plmistry. We were kind of apprehensive if he spoke any English at all. On a whim, we decided to consult this Thai soothsayer and know our fortune.

I spoke very slowly so he could understand my question. He kind of nodded his head. And said “You want to know about man”. I eagerly nodded back saying “Yes! Yes! tell me do you see it working with my Mc Dreamy?” Now, I do not know what the lines in my hand said to the monk. He looked at them and at me and said “NO!” Oh!! Woe is me :-(  But seriously, I knew that it was a No, it was logical. There is too much distance between Mc Dreamy and me.

Despite what the monk predicted, I am not able to give up on McDreamy just yet. I think it is a sweet dream to have. I think the future is yet to happen and as long as there is a tomorrow, i should not give up on the possibility of something happening. Who knows, maybe some time down the line, the distance will crumble and I will have a moment or maybe more than that.  So, that is what I am going to do, i am going to keep dreaming, till the dreams dont come back to haunt me. Let the Universe do the rest. What say?
