Dream interrupted
The last few days i have been suffering from a bad cough, and as luck would have it, i couldn't get enough sleep because of something or the other and it finally took a toll on me this morning. I couldn't keep my eyes open. I closed my eyes to sleep at about ten thirty and woke up only when my husband called to check how I was doing.
Usually when I am unwell and sleep in the afternoons, i'd have really dramatic dreams and the range of drama would depend on how unwell I am. Well here below is today's dream or whatever i recollect of it, which must be about 20%:
The dream:
I am watching my cousin Kaushik giving a presentation on some theory he discovered. There are huge screens behind him showing a video and he explains how there was one time he was at work and all the computers/laptops started to fly about. He then starts to explain some concept of gravity when his sister Saranya takes over the presentation and then finishes it quickly leaving me quite confused.
Later i visit their house but they ask me to wait outside. Its very dark and i wait in the shadows. A much younger Saranya and Kaushik come out, briefly talk to me when a much younger (late) actress Srividya comes out and asks them to get back inside. It suddenly strikes me why Saranya finished the presentation quickly. Before they go back inside I tell them 'i know you guys are secretly experimenting with some sort of a time machine. Please be careful'.
At some point in my dream I manage to get inside their house and see actor madhavan and actress Shalini sitting down on a dining table and talking something and i think 'oh so this is the year 2000 when Alaipayuthey released'
Later i don't recall what happens ( i am sure there's a major chunk i forgot) but I am now in Delhi. I am talking to a young and pretty looking female police officer in civil clothes. She happens to be my friend and she seems very apologetic. Here's the conversation that followed:
She: ' i am sorry about this'
Me: 'Oh no... Don't tell me. Not again!'
She (giving me a sympathetic look): 'i am afraid so'
Me: 'who was it this time who filed a case against me?'
She: 'the registrar'
Then i start to whine 'you KNOW it wasn't me! Besides how can you guys keep arresting me with no proof. This is ridiculous. Everytime i come to delhi, i am arrested'
She: 'i am sorry, my hands are tied. We'll get you off soon'.
Then she summons some junior cop to handcuff me and take me to jail. They take away my cellphone and other things i have with me. I am actually amused at the whole thing and tell my friend that i trust her so much that i am not even informing anyone of my arrest.
So in my dream, the junior cop escorts me to the jail by foot. I go in and out of shopping malls, walk on road etc.
As i come down an escalator in a shopping mall i see some known people below, but i avoid eye contact with them because i cant let them know i am arrested. Some woman is watching me with a smile sitting in one of those open air coffee shops in the mall. I turn around to look at her, and i discover it's a very chubby looking Priyanka Chopra giving me a wink. I shudder and hurry out of the mall.
Suddenly we are walking past some historic monuments, and the junior cop, in a moment of 'Delhi patriotism' asks my opinion about the city and its beauty. I tell him flatly:
'Every Time i come to this place, i have never gone out anywhere. You guys always arrest me. I hate Delhi'
I am in jail now. Shady looking people are around me. They are my co-inmates. But here also i meet some nice lady i know.
I tell her why they have put me in but since they have no evidence I'll be out soon. She turns around and gives me an excited expression and whispers to me 'but tell me..... It IS Kamali aunty no? The one who actually committed the murder'. ( she names one of my husband's aunts).
I look at her with innocent eyes and ask her incredulously 'how am i supposed to know? I wasn't even there!!!'
..,, sigh, before anything further happened i got a call on my phone and had to wake up.

I do not know how I landed here in this blog. I was doing a search on Alaipayuthey and ended here. But had a good time going through it. Keep writing.. Visit my page when you are bored.
