I woke up to the craziest dream with a cramped leg.
Mental note- Watching So you think you can dance and Final Destination simultaneously before going off to bed is NOT a very good idea.

Excerpts from my dream –

I am walking in a mall with three bags in my hand. Yes, Neha came over to my place last evening with bags of clothes to announce there is a kick-ass sale in Oberoi. Since I have some shopping left to do for an upcoming wedding, I planned of checking it out myself Today. Apparently, my sub conscious mind likes to delve into stuff like shopping et al, with the slightest bit of provocation.
So anyway, I am walking in the mall with bags full, and that is when I meet this old friend from 5th standard. Now the last time I saw this friend of mine was the day the results for 5th were announced. After that he sort of just fucked off to Jaipur. We are in touch though. And he was right there, of ALL the people.

Him- ‘Dude what the hell are you still doing here? Everyone is waiting for you!’
Me- ‘I know, there was such a rat race in that store, it was the last day of the sale today, everybody had lost their marbles (?). Let me just get my Jeep (??) and then we can leave right ahead.’

We get out of Oberoi mall only to find ourselves in the parking lot of Inorbit mall. I should have known it there; I should have just opened my eyes. But anyway... I press the unlock button on my car keys and my jeep comes tearing through the parking lot, all by itself. And no, I did not even watch Herbie Fully Loaded yesterday!

Then we get on to the road and suddenly there are people flagging us off. (???). We drive in a very Quantum of Solace style and next thing we know, we are heading towards a crash landing. We jump out of the car and the car goes in the AIR. And then there was this crazy chick running on the road screaming, ‘OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! We cheated death, we are all going to die in weird manners!! Huh.

We catch a rickshaw (Never mind the fact that we had just scraped through something that could have had us killed) and head to our destination. The rickshawala is playing this Bhojpuri song called – ‘Labalab lollypop lage re’ which Neha played all the time for a week when she got back from Bihar, mid last year. (????)

So I ask him to stop the song and he denies, I punch him and he starts to cry. Next thing we know, I am driving the rickshaw while my friend is trying to comfort the rickshawala on the backseat. (?????!!)

We get down to the backstage of an event and run towards it, I, towards the stage and my friend towards the audience. I get up on the stage only to face a huge audience, Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy. (Judges of So you think you can dance)

And just as the music starts to play, I scream, ‘Oh crap!!! I have got a cramp in my leg!’

And that’s when I wake up, and yes, with a cramped leg.


Crazy son of a bitch of dreams.
