Of Dreams and Nightmares...

Mnamma tagged me on dreams and nightmares and here you go…

There was a time in my life when I was a very sound sleeper and could sleep whenever I wanted to. The arrival of Chintu the great changed all that..quite another story. But here are a few dreams that I can remember vividly because they seemed so real -

* I am playing for the Indian cricket team and I have this HUUUGE crush on Rahul Dravid. I am very shy to talk to him though (duh?!) We are almost on the verge of losing this match against I don’t know who. It’s the last ball and they need 4 runs. The batsman hits the ball far enough almost near the boundary and I run from nowhere (in slowmotion) and dive and get the ball and save the day and the match…all this to impress my Dravid . It cuts off there…I don’t know if I ended up going out on a date with him ;) My husband and brother can’t stop pulling my leg on this one !

* Ooh..here’s a scary one. When I was a teenager, I dreamt that my cousin that is 2 years older to me, murdered somebody and put her in the harmonium box and placed the box under my bed. I was so freaking scared that I refused to get down from my bed and keep my feet on the floor in the morning. I put my feet on the ground only after my dad showed me that the harmonium was in a different place and that there was nothing under the bed. My cousin was short of beating me with a broom for having dreamt that ;)

* I have one dream that has recurred more than 3 times now. I am climbing a flight of stairs that look like those in a temple. I climb up a long was and realize that I am climbing the Thirumala. But half way it changes to a temple I grew up going to in my childhood in Bangalore. I only see a picture of Lord Srinivasa. I am disheartened and walk around the temple only to see Him smiling at me! I wake rrejuvinated after I get this dream. I can decipher a lot of things from this dream…may be I was thinking about Tirupati a lot, may be its time for me to visit India, may be I am homesick...may be He smiled at me after all :)

I can’t remember any more right now. I only hope I get to sleep more, so I can dream more. After all, what can be more relaxing than a pleasant dream? :)

eScuuuuse me please ....

Everytime I listen to the song 'my name is Ali' from Dhoom 2 , I lose it. The guy pronounces 'excuse me please' as 'eScuse me please'. I just get so mad at him...I feel like holding his collar and screaming at his face...its 'eXcuse me ' dammit! ....aaahh just one of those jobless things I do...:)
