Cola with Parizad

The setting is of a place which looks quite like my Nani's. I am in my room sitting and doing something. A few moments later I come downstairs because of the noise that is constantly hitting my ears.

Across the road is a plot enclosed in a walled boundary having a big iron gate. A few vans and cars are parked nearby blocking the small colony road. I go in through the small gate within that big one to find a guard sitting inside with a tent type partition made. Puzzled because of the happenings, I ask him, "Kya ho raha hai yahan ?". He says, " Shooting chal rahi hai."

Surprised, I look for some way to get in. After much cajoling, the guard lets me in. Inside, it's a village scene with a charpoy towards the far end and a few crew members with equipment on the side I enter from. A lady is sitting on that charpoy with her back towards me, talking to a guy.

All of a sudden, that guy stands up..I see him and he sees me..It's ----- from IIT K. He comes up to me and explains the whole business. And then, I get to meet Parizad Kolah of TGILC right there! We have a bit of a chat and some cola and I ask them to wait right there. I go back to my room to fetch my camera.

The camera clicks a few times and I have a photo right there with a famous TV personality. Then out of nowhere, I find that a set of stairs has come up at the rear end of that plot leading to a lower level of land. They resemble the steps Farcry has in it's monkey-treehouse level. I go down and ....

A Friend visits me

It is sometime around 6 in the evening. I have just got up from my afty-evening nap. I take a look around and go down again. A few minutes later there is a knock on the door. I get up, open the door to see Prof. Vishu standing there with a TA. I shake my head and then realise that it's not him.

It's one of my friends from school and his dad. I am a bit surprised but I ask them to come in. Just then I see two glass tumblers soaked in dust, lying on the lower level of the table. ( In reality, I haven't used any of those in the hostel). I pick them, get up to go and wash them so that my guests can have water, but he stops me. Instead he picks up my glass kept on the table, takes a hard critical look at it and then puts it to use. Uncle does not seem to be interested in having water.

We have some chat for a while and the clock ticks to 7:30. So dinner comes into the picture. They decide to have it in the hostel mess itself although I have already informed them of the possible consequences. I lock my room and we go down.

The scene downstairs is a mirage of sorts. The entire dining system has been changed. Instead of the usual stuff, it is more like a buffet system with lots of dishes to choose from. Can this be true? I got confused as to whether I was dreaming in that dream. Maybe I was.

Two in One

[1] I am Hanuman (LOL) and a gargantuous demoness is chasing me. I keep flying for sometime and then I reach the Himalayan region. It is becoming difficult for me to keep myself away from her huge claws. I am on some peak and she is coming straight at me. With great strength I throw a huge snowball and she bites the floor. Then she thinks for sometime and casts a spell. The whole snow field turns into a salty one. There is salt everywhere. The salty air makes me sick and then....

[2] This one is about cricket in the hostel wings. The one involved looked like the C-15 wing but actually much wider. I am bowling. I don't remember which guys were playing that day. I get someone out and then a big fight starts about him being out or not. As usual I get in the mood and start up my shoutbox. It continues for a while and then all is normal.

De-Evolution

This one is about Holi and a "de-evolutioning" act that takes place. My friends and I are playing Holi and then out of nowhere Mr. Laloo (our Railway Minister) comes in. LOL. It's a surprise for all of us. He is all alone without any security and covered from head to toe in all sorts of colour patches. He joins in as if he were somebody from our group. All this is OK types i suppose but the real thing is what follows.

We had somebody who was capturing us playing Holi on his handycam. Mr. Laloo too gave some nice shots showing his big set of teeth as well. Evening came and we all gathered to have a look at the video. There was no Laloo in the video. In his place was a monkey showing off his white teeth. His face was quite like Laloo's. This was so strange. I mean, get Darwin out of his grave and show him this !!!

Mini Bus Service

It's been almost a month since I last wrote something here. I had quite a few dreams but somehow they didn't make it to this eternal message board. This one, by the way, is like a short extract of something big.

My friends and I are on some kind of a mini bus; we are not just there as passengers but someone from us is in the hotseat as well. The place we are travelling in is a village area with broken, pot-holed roads.

Suddenly, there's appears a stack of bricks about a feet high, right in the middle of the road. All of us rush to the back end and the driver magically pulls off a bus-jump. Just then, when this brick layer ends we find no path for the bus coz there's a truck standing right in front and a car which had come swinging in from the right hand. Mysteriously again, we find ourselves as we were before this situation. The truck and car are left behind. I had closed my eyes and so can't describe how this second feat was done - did we teleport or did we shrink breadthwise ?

Then, I am thrown out of the bus and I catch hold of a handpump handle to avoid hitting the ground directly. Not much damage occurred here as the bus was moving slowly coz of the bad condition of the road. I shout out loud to stop the bus immediately and end the adventure. Nobody listens.....
