Today I had a strange dream not exactly strange but a dream which left me wondering for sometime whether it really had some significance and trying to convey some things or just a timepass similar to all crazy things that I go on doing. I had read somewhere that dreams are triggered by some incident which happened during the past few days or some hidden emotions. Most probably the incident which triggered the dream was my chat with Gy aunty in which I told her bout my plans to coming back to india and she responded back with the “Apna des to apna des hota hai” and I responded back with the dialogue from Swades ”apni chaukkat ka diya giving light to neighbor’s house” . let me get the swades song in the background to build up the ambience which might help in a better flow of the creative juices ..
Ok so with the swades song in the background and confirming the exact dialogue let me get back to the sequence of events yesterday morning … Yesterday morning well not exactly morning as in 9 am or so but morning as in after getting up from bed after sleeping in the night .. well it was not exactly night as in 11 pm or so but it was more of like 4 am on saturday morning.. so coming back to yesterday morning , I called up my house and cracked the regular jokes to let them get the idea that everything is normal in this part of the world and then I called up my moohboli sister and while talking to her she informed that her mom is with her and so I talked to Gy aunty where the above mentioned dialogues took place…after the call I took JC to library.. btw I have been reading some books on Indian political system and happening since independence in the past few days.. and I was discussing about them with JC .. while coming back from library , I noticed that JC had also picked up a book on India..
In evening, in the famed sabji mandi of Bensalem ,at the payment counter I observed somebody peeping at me and in courtesy I also peeped back and while this peeping business was going on i realized that the person used to be with me in my college… and we exchanged notes on our other college friends , While coming back from Sabji Mandi I sat pondering about the life in India , the way we used to have effortless fun with friends and colleagues . My Sunday walk for the newspapers ( indian express , Times of india & midday ) , the small moments spent in tapari drinking special chai or walk down to the nearby sweet shop for a plate of samosa followed by combination of dosa and then boondi sev .. or the group outings to smoking joe’s pizza or china everest followed by a visit to the monginis , midnight visit to bade miyan for chicken curry and roti followed up with a visit to haji ali juice centre for lychi shake , the fruit juice dinner which we used to have once in a month ,the movie theatre visits which used to be mostly an excuse to sleep peacefully in air conditioned hall..The life was so simple yet so blissful with so much time in hand not only to relax on weekend but to have fun too.
I realized that *something* was missing in my life … With that thought in mind I went to bed and woke up with that dream.
p.s : I started writing on this piece close to 2 months back but had forgotten about it in the rumble and tumble of the life .. Don’t expect me to remember the dream but yes I remember the confusion with which I got up in the morning
