Dreams

April 5th, 2009


People are dying in Hong Kong, only bachelors, from a new strain of virus which makes them hungry but renders them unable to eat.
The virus will soon hit India and I am panicking.

But wait a minute, I say to myself. Why should you panic? It was just a dream. But I panic.
I don’t know right now that its a dream. I’ll realise that when I wake up.
Sleep walking was never one of my strong points. I could never succeed in that in the past.
Never found myself in strange places when I woke up.
I am glad that I finally succeeded in that. Now I am able to sleep walk and find myself in different places.
I sleep walk to office, to my desk, to cafeteria, even to the washrooms.
That is what happens when you get cursed by mosquitoes.
After tolerating my bad behaviour for a few days, they got pissed off at me, and then in all their might they cursed me.
Because of my bad behaviour, they are rendered hungry and have to sleep off without having food, blood whatever.
My bad behaviour is caused by not reaching home at decent hours in the night-time.
And many don’t like that, not the iland friends, not the other friends, not even the mosquitoes in my room.
I think my new manager is happy that I am spending so much time in office, doing work. Maybe the co-workers, I am not sure.
But the most funny day was when a person in US told me that he was leaving for the day. And here I was still in office.
That meant I was there in my timings and his timings also.
Next what I said, you can imagine all the swear words in hindi and add a few punjabi ones also.
Anyways, I am not complaining, with the scary recession, at least I like what I am doing right now.

PS - Does that mean that the dreams mirror day-to-day life? That mosquitoes are dying, because of a new strain of virus, ie me.

Yeh kaisi kaisi aankh micholi khele zindagiiii
Yeh kaisi kaisi aankh micholi khele zindagiiii
Kabhi doooor, kabhi paas aaye
Kabhi yun hi muskuraye
Kabhi aaye, jaye, aaye, jaaye, aisi zindagiiii

PS 2 - I’ll read all the latest and non-latest posts, which I have missed.
I have no plans to abandon iland. I'll do this, after coming back today :)
