Twirling Dreams & Blurring Reality
Money, passion, exhaustion and fame…. Drawing to a weekend where serenity was the magic to the tempo of realism called Life!
Met up with an old buddy, yes, the same friend who shared his dream with me and wanted the same to be shared with all of us through this platform: Choked by a crab
He said, I want to share another one this time.
I asked him, “You spend too much time sleeping, don’t you?”
Thank God, he took it lightly, just the way I had meant it.
But he meant business as he straight away quoted “I saw a baby monkey running around me with whom I was playing and then feeding a watermelon”
We knew we were no Birbal, so we got Sherlock. No, not the web search app from Apple (That’s still Google for us).
We got searching and finding all probable combinations. Why? ‘coz my chum seemed quite uneasy and anxious since a couple of days with this and he said, lets put this again on board.
The combination of a baby monkey being fed watermelon, hmmmmm….
The Web help sources said, That could mean putting jointly emotions of innocence which was trying to be grabbed from the past.,Unsettled triggers of unfinished business from childhood recollections that could have sparked very recently. That with a monkey that was being fed, probably expressing a betrayal of expectation from someone who should have been there more to support you who meant close to you and finally with a fruit that is either about ease or about fiery passion. These were amazing combinations which meant well, nothing to me as now I turned at my buddy.
Slowly we put the running ball together; I noticed a sneer and a sense of realization on his face. He said, I got my answers, now you quote down your lines.
His face was composed or a lot calmer now and now that I got that he got it, I was sure I need not try to know what it was.
But I felt uncomfortable when I quoted his dreams the first time on the blog after he said, go for it. Flash it across. Now a repeated second one made me say to him, ‘it’s not right to talk about your life on a Writers blog.’
He said a simple line after which I started to key in the new post here.
He quoted, “It helps me relax to read it across the blog and it helps me know, it’s just out there, happening and makes me feel in control from within. It’s good to flush it out of my system than to burn wakeful from inside in the barrenness.”
That’s when I realized the influence of Soaps on TV. With Ekta Kapoor and her Dramarama swarming the nation like a wild blaze, people find themselves sharing a part of it, some or any part of it at times and that’s what keeps them at ease and linked day in and day out.
It’s not the actors, it’s not the lines, its Reel reality with a dash of overflowing emotions bundled with of course repetitive unnecessary camera shots. (ya, ya I have seen an episode too.. big deal)
Well, I don’t know about me, but Ekta definitely built her dreams with it….
And to my pal, Happy dreaming buddy! Have a good nights sleep!
Chao!
