DREAMS....

I love the word...DREAM. Probably just because of its non binding ability to the world we live in or so called Life we are destined to face every now and then. The word in itself kind of releives me from the day to day burdens, unexpected situations, long awating decisions or just hackneyed same old gloomy days! Yeah for sure i have learnt through years that dreams do not come true...some might come true ..rarely..but oh thats why may be they are called dreams after all compared to the harsh word REALITY!

I wonder why the dreamland is so beautiful??? Is it a place created for us to hide when we are too much worked up or tensed or irritated with life? or is it just our childhood that we have left behind? why does it somehow strengths our beliefs for a new hope..for a new page...for new enthusiasm..and for a new zest?

If its such a nice place and if they work so positively....why doesnt our dreams grow with us? or do they? or does the harsh world that we live in conquer it and somehow force us to narrow down our dreams too considering n number of situations we are bound to...questions we are answerable to...and things we are obliged to..dont know...seriously dont know!

well..may be right now, I am still enjoying the dreamland..and i guess i will continue doing so whether my questions are answered or not.

A Blind Date

It was a gloomy saturday or sunday morning...probably one of those times we eagerly wait for after a hectic week's work!I was fast asleep even though my roomies were busy having girly gossips just beside me in our small, conjested room. Suddenly my fone rang below my pillow and i answered it reluctantly...sure with some gallis for the person on the line. I was more annoyed when it wasnt someone i knew and really wanted to slam the fone down for disturbing my weekend dreams! It took me some time to wake up and talk properly without blabbering in sleep...The so called unknown person on line..infact a stranger.. just spoke one sentence.."Hi, I am Here"..Here? So? I mean what?..Reply: "yeah I am here..can we meet?" " Oh okay...I recalled who the person was and how i knew him..oh he was the one i had spoken on fone once and once on chat..thats it! Unknowingly i said..okay..ummm lets meet in mall..umm yeah at about 11-11:30 looking in the watch and calcualting if i had enough time to make myself presentable..:)Got up, stretched myself,yawning...getting a naughty thought in mind of someone asking me out for a date..oh my! HURRAY! I rushed to the bathroom to get ready. My roomies showed a big question mark on their face and for sure called me crazy when i hurridly told about it. I dunno why, may be it was the first time...to meet an unknown boy so i started imaging big big things....well i was really excited for sure!In the whole excitement we both forgot to think how to recognize each other..so i called him to check how he looks like..and what he is wearing etc etc..I dont think the information shared helped much as i reached the mall and considerable time went on fone again giving each other directions...best part was when we approached each other with fones on ears and the only idiots in mall wandering here and there. Oh so finally face to face..."oh so u...are..Hi!".."yeah I..am..Umm HI! what next? the whole thing seemed to be so funny now that i really wanted to laugh aloud but just started walking aimlessly in the mall waiting for each other to say something...i thought he would he thought I would..but both were clueless and may be now feeling well.. why did we meet atall? For quite some time the conversation was ..." this is fabindia"..u need something? ..NO! oh okay...here u get real good boy stuff..wud u like to...NO! oh okay...here's another umm yeah good branded stuff...wud u...NO! oh! here's a Cookie shop! yum cookies..wud u? well forget I WANT SOME! he he...after like wandering for more than 20 mins i felt like i was a GUIDE touring him a MALL in a city like Bangalore! How romantic..:P.I dont remember having any mooshy gooshy talks or glimpses between us but i do remember laughing like crazy all the time...He was a real funny guy and i did have a great time with him...surely not like on a DATE though....:Pwell...after an hour or so we just sat outside in one corner of a cafe "which was actually closed" and spoke about numerous things ..as if old friends sharing laughs and similar experiences! I even kept my friends who had escorted me to the mall waiting for a long long time..JUST FOR THIS STRANGER!While saying goodbye...i took back with me a NEW FRIEND..who was funny, spontaneous in his reactions, extremely talented in giving "sadetodd" answers, having a never ending stock of silliest jokes i have ever heard, innocent yet naughty and having usual..simple, colorful dreams just like me!!
