Stranger in a Dream...

I was sitting with my legs crossed, leaning against the soft cushions that are covered with velvet and a furry cloth. I held a book in my hand trying to puzzle out whether it was the right time to read or not. I made up my mind not to read and dropped the book down on the round table at the coffee shop, and I catch a glimpse of you entering, dressed in a dark chocolate colored formal shirt and a good fitted trousers, with the spikes in your hair lacking order and your eyes sleepy, and the neck-tie almost loosen like as if it has lost the bond of the knot. I wrap my hands around the mug and began to sip the mocha I ordered 10 minutes before you entered. My eyes focused on the cup, all though I could see you occupying the table opposite to mine. You started apologizing to someone sitting at your table, who, I hope is not your girlfriend. I looked at you several times and you never looked at me.Your smile is one of the wonderful things that God has securely placed on your face. Even though I know you appeared to be really tired and sleepy you looked ridiculously fresh when you smiled. Like, as if all the things around you, including me, are candles and each time you smile, we are all lit bright. I saw someone snapping fingers in front of my face, asking if I was alive. Oh, I forgot that I had my friend sitting right here talking persistently about some really unimportant issues and I forgot to respond to her. You are so distracting.

I was stuck in a terrible traffic, with my hair all haphazard. I was tying my hair up at the signal and looked to my right with my mouth wide opened like as though I witnessed an explosion, you were right next to me in a car, sleeping like a baby with your mouth slightly opened facing the window of the passenger seat. I wondered if you needed fresh air or pollution. Or do you feel car A/C creepy-crawls you, like I feel? Your car was gone by the time I recovered from all the questions I had in my mind, and I get to hear various kinds of ‘BLEEPS’ from the fellow riders, because I was blocking their way.

I was at the birthday party, a not so cool party ever. I look around for some good company other than sibling Company. I was left with zero options to move out, so I sank in that ancient wooden sofa’s looking at my dad, while he talks some oh-so-very-important points about the birthday boy which reminded me of orkut (social network) testionials. Hello God help. I later heard someone announced a special number, by some name don’t know who that was, but honestly when I heard about solo singing performance it made me yawn a 1000 times/sec. I decided to text my friends, keeping the phone between my legs so that the old ladies behind me don’t start grumbling. I hear the guitar was strummed chord “C” and a very familiar song was sung by someone. I text bye-bye to my friends and looked up at the person who, is actually singing my favorite song. It’s YOU again? I couldn’t recover from the shock that you were strumming chords, singing my favorite song at a 2 year olds birthday party, who was already fast asleep before you even started the song. Huh? Really? After the dinner my dad stands and talks to your family, while you smile at him respectfully and that’s when he looks around to introduce us (his family) to yours. You look at me as I walked up to you with my mom, and signaled me about the coffee shop if I’m not wrong. What the cow? You saw me too? I blinked once…twice…thrice…while I still managed to smile.

At the background I hear – where the hell are my keys! Wake up you moron and gimme the keys, I'm late for work already, yelled my sister. I woke up, gave her the keys, back in bed and I woke up, checked the time and realized that the dream was not gonna continue. All I did was ……. AAAARRRRRRGGGGHHH!!!

“The stranger in my dream was someone I know, but that stranger doesn't even know I exist.”

Did you ever dream of someone whom you saw just like twice or thrice in your dreams and that person doesn't even know you exist?! Do share.

On a Rainy Evening

I have been doing a lot online today and also updated the “About me” column in 20 something bloggers and mentioned two things that make me the happiest girl no matter how worse the situation is, Rain and Music. Wonders never cease, it rained this evening. It brought a pleasing smile onto my face and made me look so bright. I sat in the balcony with the mp3 player my brother had given me in the recent past and begged mom to make a cup of coffee and I tell you confidently that I still can’t make a cup of coffee myself, so gross, but that’s OK! I played Birthmark by akon with maximum volume enjoying the rain, sipping hot coffee and sang these lines:

Go back to where we began

To that point which is days apart

The stamp right next to your heart

All I could capture was the dark cloud

I so much miss the days of my college. My college resumes in the month of June every semester after the summer vacation. It used to rain like every morning and I always planned on avoiding college because it was more fun sleeping and hearing to the rain outside. My college was 50 steps away from home so I had to take a walk everyday. My bff and I were rain-lovers (BINGO). One of our best hobbies was to play in rain- Folding our pants till the knee, wrecking our shoes, splosh across the wet meadow and to wake up with 45 sneezes the next day. I realize that our present always gets connected to our past! I miss those days, I swear. Today, I had good time alone with the music and I must add that, this was one of the cutest evenings in a long time now. Life is making more sense to me every day. I don’t peeve about my problems anymore as I’m ready to embrace every piece of difficulty.

Later in the evening I spent time with my bro who is recovering from whole of the accident scene that happened 2 weeks ago. We both had a rapid conversation about funny stuff that I prefer not to mention or it would add more weight to our insanity. Meanwhile, we also had cherries enjoying the weather and the silly talks, of course. Yeah, I did capture pictures with him that’s one of the things I can’t stay without doing. Like I said this was one of the cutest evenings I’ve had in a long time and I love it baby!

Here’s one of the darling visitors (My Nephew) who came home to wish my bro “get well soon”. Kids are such darlings I tell you. I completely adore this baby who looked super cute in his pullover.

And hey it’s still raining!
