Where are you then?

When the darkness falls,
When the silence prevails,
When the air freezes,
when the stir stops,
When the cricket chirps,
when the life sleeps,
when the bed warms,
when the limbs break,
When the nerves ache,
When the sense fails,
When the eyelids droop,
When the eyeballs squeeze,
when the eyes close,
WHERE ARE YOU THEN?

Picked this poetry online from Qaisar Janjua... @Thx Qaisar!

Blinking Lights

I saw blinking lights, as in a multiple field choice where you get to select which field you would like the new question from. Although these lights were of no game. But somehow the fields were significant. Remember none of the fields now.


P.S. Strange!

Mapping the city

I saw maps... google maps. I think it was the map of Ahmedabad, showing directions to Adalaj Ni Vav.

P.S. I think I saw it because M asked me about the distance of Adalaj Ni Vav from the main city. But then today I ended up opening Google Maps to help my roommate to locate an address in Noida. Again deja vu?

Home Alone...

I was in a coed dorm kinda place. Or was it a house? Anyway, my housemates were not at home. There was some function they had to attend. It was just me and V? There were two bathrooms - one generally used by girls and another generally used by boys in the house. To save time and since no one was there we thought of utilizing both. So as V used the one that we generally used, I turned to the one nearer to the guys room. While I was setting my toiletries inside, the guys returned. G was among them? He told me in a rude tone, 'I want to use it'. I removed my stuff and went outside, kept my stuff on the table there and waited for the bathroom to get free. Then I remembered taking off my ear-rings and rings and keeping it on the counter next to the basin.

By this time V had come out so I used that bathroom. Besides rest of the guys had returned. When I came out this one was free as well. I went to look for my rings, but they were not there. I went to look on the table thinking G kept them there, but they weren't there either. Found few beads necklace lying on the table, one of them gifted by me to V. I was wondering to whom the others belonged. I knew each little item owned by my female housemates. I was feeling jealous of the girl to whom these belonged, as I felt G had given it to her.

My dream shifted to something else.

P.S. I never gifted V a necklace. And I don't know why I saw G after such a long time!

Deja-Vu?

I saw my office, distinctly remember seeing P there. There was a new girl in office. She had come for an interview perhaps or to meet someone. P seemed very interested in the girl. I told him, remember you are married. He laughed it off.

P.S. And today there was G in office. P asking P who she is. deja-vu?

Just recollected more of the dream. She had come to give an interview for the post of Product Specialist. She had done her PhD from the States and had just returned back. She had a sweet face and the sweetest voice possible.

P.P.S. I don't trust sweet people! :P

A lost past...

I had a niece, a very cute little girl. We were in a big Entertainment room with lots of big leather chairs and lots of kids. I sat with her on one of the big sofa-cum-leather chairs right in the front as we watched an animation movie playing on the big TV screen. She was enjoying immensely. I had to leave to go to work. So I went out and asked my father/ brother-in-law (?) to look after her, but they were going as well to work. So I went back in and asked her to leave with me so that I could drop her home and then proceed to office. She refused, she was so engrossed in the movie. I didnt feel like disturbing her so I asked the Caretaker over there if I could leave her there and she could watch over her for few hours till I could get back. She agreed.

So I left, taking a last look at her. But I felt guilty soon for leaving her behind and I rushed back. Half an hour had passed since I left her there. But when I got back she wasnt there. I asked the caretaker, but she had no idea. I shouted at her and looked frantically around for my niece. But I could not locate her. After sometime my brother came back with her. He was pissed off at me, I could feel. But he didn't say a word to me. Just set her back on the same chair she was in. She was smiling and again enjoying whatever was on TV at that time. But she looked a little worse for wear. She had a bump on her forehead, which looked painful to me. But her smiles were sweet and including me in them. And her hair... they were bleached blonde? Why? She had dark brown hair before I left her there. I felt so, so guilty. And I woke up feeling sad.


P.S. For the records, I just have one nephew, no nieces! And my brother is long gone...

Up and down

I saw myself in a big building with lots of staircases, corridors and people. Not too crowded since the building was huge, but still many of them. I was going down and going up the stairs. Then suddenly I was sitting in front of a huge desk with P to my left. B came over there and was talking to P about something (can't recollect what).

P.S. spending too much time in office I guess.
