Dreams............

I am not the one who gets dreams every now n then. One becoz I work at nights and two I don't know. This was a few days back. Got three dreams. I somehow have developed a habit to remember a few of my dreams. Don't ask me how ;) So in this hat trick of dreams, I remember that I die in the second one. All my dreams till date have been VERY weird to say the least. I remember one of them even now. I am standing in front of a snake pit and a snake bites me, on my BACK. No idea how that happened. lol! And I have a mole called 'Garuda macche'. Garuda the god eats snakes as first priority for food. So according to olden day beliefs, snakes are afraid of people who have this particular mole. I just don't have the nuts to test it. ROFL! Coming back to the hat trick of dreams, I don't remember the first one. The third one is actually unbelievable even in dreams! I am walking naked on this desert kinda place and vultures are preying on me and almost half of my body has no skin left. ugh......

'Sweet dreams' to all.

work?

It's been eight days of night shifts without an off, till date that is. Not sure when this is gonna end. Hopefully in the next few days. So there's this guy who stands in the corner of the four way signal diagonally opposite to my office. Stays there the whole night selling ciggies and tea for passers by and regulars who know the place to get ciggies at any time of the night. I used to visit him once in a while long long ago.Now that my current office is right in front, go n get ciggies whenever I run out of stock. Yesterday I went with two ppl from the team and generally were talking to the guy. He's got a prob with his right leg ( read handicapped ) which is just a nicer way of telling. This poor guy comes on a four wheeled TVS every night with two big flasks of tea and a whole bunch of ciggies of all kinda brands. Anyway, I asked him how come he doesn't stay after four in the morning nowadays, to which he replied with absolutely no shyness......"no saar, am leaving around four in the morning from the last one month. I got married so leave at four. Don't want to stay here the whole night and go at six in the morning". Two things, one is I am really happy he got married. Second, not a lot of ppl get what they want in life , the way they want it and when they want it. As the local police ppl trouble him if any guys are having a ciggie after buying it (duh! where do ya want us to smoke after buying them in the dead of the night neways!), it's something he fears. Anybody can easily understand the true meaning of 'fear' by seeing this poor soul's reaction. He gets all alert and asks ppl around to leave from there right away. It's something you need to experience, although not a pleasant one. I suddenly realized how lucky I am to have a body without any problems(sans the stent in the chest neways. lol!) and having a job (its night shift and in a kyaal center, so what!) which pays me enough to support my family and suffice my fetish for electronic gadgets. It's a very weird time when you see somebody like this guy. You feel sorry for him and at the same time you feel very happy for yourself and your family.
