A dream remembered!!

Its 1:30 in night I am here again n I have to reach at 9:00 in the office tommorrow…seems pretty easy but those who know me, knows how difficult its going to be for me……frankly, I am writing this partly by choice n partly coz of my overfilled stomach with the delicious punjabi delicacies from dalmakhni to jalebi with rabri which is could not resist overeating, which is now stopping me from sleeping….
So today was the D day, the day much awaited n now it has brought with itself one more awaited day, the day of final cutoffs, the day which will decide my love affair with CAT or unsuccessful attempts to seduce CAT….But I am keeping all my fingers crossed hoping for the best n who knows what can happen……..

I finally remembered one of my dream completely, I was so happy that I have retained each detail of my dream completely…..from my school days I always use to get these horrible, scary dreams about my exams something would happen in those dreams that showed me that I screwd up the exam….. but finaaly after remembering this complete dream I was pretty happy n I laughed a lot at myself…the story goes like this….It is the day of my CAT exam n I somehow got up early n set from home early on my old Bajaj Chetak for the school….I had a Chetak in Panipat and the school I went to was the place I did my schoolin from BalVikas School Panipat…there was some function goin on in the school n I attended it( smhw I am not able to remember the details of the function but I remember some of my friends were also there; Rishabh n vipul maybe becoz both of them are also writing CAT this year) n suddenly in between all this fun I received a call surprisingly from principal of one of the schools of Mumbai for enquiring about one of the education services which my company provides to school….ironically in past 6 months of my experience of selling our services to schools no school has ever called me back n no principal has talked with me for more than 10 minutes but after keeping the phone and elucidating him/her(don’t rem exactly) about all the services in detail, I realized that we had talked for 30 minutes and it was already 10:00 last time to reach the CAT centre which was another school in Panipat at a 1 min drive from my place….I was broken, frightened n frustrated but I picked up my Bajaj Chetak in a desperate attempt to reach the centre…I was driving desperately and my mind was hunting for some excuses to buy examination head sympathy.....while I was driving my phone rang and somehow I picked up the phone which I usually does not do and on the other side of my phone was my friend that his mom has deliberately made watch an hour faster as she knew that we are careless so it was 9:00 in reality not 10:00…yippee I can write the CAT today were the last things I remember of this dream n than I was up in my bed wondering about the time and telling myself please make sure these things are restricted to these examination phobia dreams only….

So I had all in my dreams my city, my school, my office and I am still wondering how and why were they connected in such a fine knit??? If anybody can interpret this for me I will be highly obliged….please friends try your hand at it……

But finally I wrote CAT and now will wait for the results hoping that these dreams doesn’t haunt me for CAT again in my life……….

So much has happened in the world n I wanted to write about most of them, even stared to write a tribute to Ganguly after declaration of his retirement but could not complete it n after Kumble putting a stop to his career it would be unfair that I write one for Dada ignoring Jumbo….

Now meltdown , Raj Thackrey n Obama are also encumbering my thinking but lets see when I make them part of my memories….. As of now only Cat has taken all prerogatives, even that is dependent on chance …In spite of the some preparation I am not able to take out all the environmental factors out of my preparation n thus I am left to the mercy of luck….Its a week away n I have to defeat the superstitions and astrology of stars to prove that I can write my own future…..So rather than repairing my dented spirit I have to go for a brand new car altogether…..Some tough challenges are awaiting me after the CAt so I have to make it work, to go there in a great flow which is unstoppable by the barriers to success laid by the conservatism of my own thinking and the society……

N finally when I prepared myself to Mumbai, Mumbai has thrown a new challenge of survival to me…telling me again not to make some elaborate plans for the future…but again planning is what makes us human, when our plans get successful we are humans as we have the brains to think and foresee and when they fail we are humans for the emotions and the tears we can shed on them and above all we are homosapiens for our spirit to move on with life. N Mumbai I have taken this challenge of survival of the fittest, for lively spirit with which you celebrate all the festivals from Ganpati to Chaat Puja, for the sense of Indianess I get in this city, for the strenuous journey’s of all local trains, for invigorating beer at Totos, for rejuvenating ice candy of Chowpati n Juhu, for mesmerizing sunset at sea face, for all my chimerical plans of Surfing, for fire of my team and mostly for gratification of my soul……
