Funky Town

I saw one of the drivers of the office, S? I was sitting behind him in the car and we were going somewhere. He had a pony tail?

P.S. talks of tattoos and piercings messing up with my head.

Staying afloat

I was at the swimming pool. They were going to open up a new section for females. It had those body length floaters in the pool - pink, blue and black. I liked it. But they said it was not open yet. I went into the main pool. There they had a feast going on. There were big arches - Roman I think. And there were big rotating and revolving round tables there with piles of food. They served some chicken delicacy with pieces cut in hexagon and dipped in some brown sauce. There was some sort of pink rice there. I wanted to have it, but it got passed on before it reached me. Some people were trying to escape the pool. I followed them. I peeped out of the pool. The door there opened to a main road with cars zooming past. And there I woke up...


P.S. Swimming & this sorta-diet thing messing up with my brain cells!

Ghosts From The Past

I was at dinner with friends in the center of a room. It was a cold place, there was snow in some places. But the tables were not steady, they would move as if on a ship's deck rolling with the movement of waves. I saw him at another table - a ghost from my past, G. One of the friends with me knew our history. She pointed out him to me. I just shrugged and looked down. 'It was in the past', I said.

Suddenly we were at the corner table with few of my other old friends - a blast from the past. One of them was sick. But he was treating us all. Everyone had ordered something. I had come in late. I didnt get a chance to order. He told me to go order something for myself. I told him, once the crowd disbursed from the food counter I would. It was as if the restaurant setting had changed into a food court setting. I didnt see at that time, but he heard me.

A few minutes later, he was next to me with a few menu options and also something ordered as well - something that I liked to eat, once upon a time. I said thanks to him and also said, 'yeh karne ki zaroorat nahi thi'. He laughed and said, 'No issues. mujhe yaad hai mujhe pehle bhi tumhare liye ladke lana padta tha.' He was reminiscing the times past. I could recollect times when in crowds he would stand right behind me to avoid the throng of people who would have other wise barged into me. (This had never happened in real life actually.) I replied, 'woh tumhara farz tha' I meant 'not any more'. I looked down after that, didnt see his reaction. But I could feel his disappointment ringing around me. Everyone could. There was a pregnant pause after that. We spent some time, few days - can not recollect.

The journey was over. The day was bright and sunny. I got down on the port, off the restaurant - dunno. My friend was with me. I had a tear in the shirt on my back. My friend stood behind me and dragged me through the crowd to the nearest loo to change. I was laughing and carefree. It was a walled loo rising over my head but a little below my friend's. She could see the outside. I was changing my clothes when I heard him.

My friend too heard him and raised her head to look at him. 'Why are you here?' she asked. She pressed my head lower so that he could not peep inside. She was only protecting me. She had seen the hurt I had gone through because of him few years back. I was a shattered mess. He said, 'I am here for her.' 'She isn't here', she said and pressed my head further down. 'Mujhe uski khushboo se pata chal jata hai ki woh kahan hai, aur woh yahin hai.' It was as if the years passed were no more and I was the same young girl in love for the very first time. I woke up from my dream then.

P.S. I cried a lot during my shower time because of this dream. I do not need dreams of him so many years down the lane, especially when I hope I have moved on. And when I know he has moved on long back. But I do not know why I dreamt of this. Maybe yesterday's dinner with friends brought upon this. Maybe being in his city brought about this. But I would still not want the ghost from my past to hog my dreams and invade my waking life. Something that cannot be, has to be left undone...

Drive On!

I was at a parking lot. I had two cars to myself - one old without a/c another brand new. I had to take out the old one from the first parking lane and park it in the parallel slot of the second or third parking lane. Some girl came into the parking lot eager to park in the slot I was in the first parking lane. She asked me if the other car was mine. I denied.

Weird dream.

P.S. Thinking of buying a car and driving around with N in her car playing games with my mind!

O Baby Sing A Song

We - me, N & S were at this shopping mart - grocery store kinds. Sale was ending as was the day. The prices of the groceries were increasing. Weird. Probably demand-supply ratio. N said that we will not buy anything as prices are increasing. Then we saw cheese prices were going down. So we decided to buy it. We were the last ones to get out of the store. There were three guys too having fun - singing and playing pranks on one another. It was just five or six in the evening. We were sitting outside on the parapet.

The three guys were a distance away from us gossiping among themselves stealing glances at us. We paid no heed to them and turned our faces away. Suddenly one of them sat on the edge of the parapet and the other two surrounded him. The one sitting broke out into a song loudly. I even recollected the words for sometime, now I don't.

We were shocked for a moment. Then we burst out laughing. "You came back to sing a song?" we asked. They were flabbergasted for a moment. Perhaps they were expecting us to get wild. Instead we laughed. They blinked and then nodded their heads in affirmative. Then they gave sheepish grins and started singing the very same song in a sing-song voice as friends are wont to do when enjoying themselves.

P.S. Shopping - I get it with all the grocery store shopping I have been doing for the past three days continuously. But singing? Now that was a weird one.

Bag-wati

I bought a chocolate brown color bag on sale for 1290/- ... from Nine West? It was a damn good purchase. It was big, rectangular, formal. It had those fish scale looking designs on top. And I was very, very happy with it!

P.S. P buying a white bag playing with my mind.

P.S.S. Oh btw, the title comes from ZNMD. JLT! no reason!

Reconcilations

There were two-three very small rooms. He was in one of them. He was angry and not talking to me. I had to bear the brunt of his anger and make him fall in love with me - again. They were sure he would never agree. I had every faith that he would.

He saw me and turned his face away. It would appear to those standing outside betting on the fate of my relationship that they were right. But it was only me who saw the pain and longing along with the anger in his eyes. That glimpse of the pain gave me the confidence that I was not alone in my suffering to be away from him.

And so I entered the room and shut the door behind me as I approached him lying on the bed determined to do anything within my power to get back my love. (including outright seduction in this tiny room with the others right next to us in the other 2 rooms listening at the walls.)

There was something happening in the other two rooms as well, a part of this probably. But I do not recollect it.

P.S. He looked like Salman Khan. :-P

P.S.S. Something tells me we did reconcile ;-)
