The Dream.

Hey friends, hope you enjoyed reading my last post. Here again I come up with another one. Hope you like it. Do let me know if you would like me to write on your favorite topic.

With a cup of tea, you walk towards your balcony. Looking out of the window all you see are hungry dogs, in search food. Thinking about which series should be watched today and with a bright smile on your face you look at the sun, not really being thankful for the wonderful day. You enter your room, open the newspaper, and to your surprise you read that the lockdown has been extended. With a much brighter smile, you walk towards your phone that you had kept for charging last night. You unlock your phone, ignore the mails with subject line” Join Over 40 million Students from around the World already learning on this platform! Find the right instructor for you. Any topic, skill level, or language. Lifetime Access.” Log in Instagram, reply to all the DM and then like the posts your food blogger friend posted. Feeling hungry you visit the kitchen, looking at the delicious pav bhaji, you romance for a while followed by a photo-shoot. After washing your hands for about a minute, you have your breakfast. After a satisfied breakfast, you happen to look at the news channel your dad was watching and you see hungry Indian migrants being forced to flee cities and walk hundreds of kilometres to their native place. You feel sad for a while, suddenly you hear a beep and that is a Facebook notification. You look at the meme, laugh, sing the background music “dilwale puchdee ne chaaa….”, dance along with the coffin dancers.

A horrifying notification catches your attention, “Client meeting scheduled” Nothing better could have ruined your day (not even the virus), another possibility is “Zoom lecture by Prof. ABC, please find the ID and password” Not really wanting to attend, you still attend it because you’ve got literally no reason to avoid it. Taking your books from the shelf, you notice that guitar wanting to be played by you. You smile and say,” Catch you soon”. After the lecture, you again hear the guitar calling. But you preferred to listen to ASRTONOMIA over learning to play them. So, you end up the day laughing at lot of memes, watching your favorite series and showing the world that life is all about Netflix and chill. Suddenly you hear the doorbell ring, you still choose you close your eyes and sleep tight.

Waking up, you realize that you are back to reality. You hear you mom saying,” Don’t you want to catch the 9.11 local? Get up! Go get ready” And you wake up, realizing that all this was a dream. It was your dream that you wished when you had a tired day. That day did you not say,” I wish I had time for my hobbies” Did you not say,” I wish I had time for meditation and self-development?”

My dear readers, this what you’ve got now is a dream come true. A dream you once wished for. Wake up from your dream and live your life. I wouldn’t suggest you to sit and study for straight 8 hours nor do I have any issue with your chill life. But I just want you to realize that this time you have now, is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Spend quality time and give enough time for your hobbies.

Were you not really craving for this which are now getting? To all the teenagers, I once heard you say,” I wish I had enough time to take care of my skin”. To all the artists, I heard you shout from the depths of your heart, “I wish, I had enough time for my hobby”. Hey you writer, don’t you remember wishing, “Only if I had enough time to complete the novel I had started long back”. No escape for you adults because few months back I read your diary quoting,” I wish I had enough time to spend with my family/ my caring partner/ my parents/ my children”. Stop giving me reasons because if not now it’s never. And you newly married, can you please stop being displeasing. I understand you missed your honeymoon but you won’t get any better time in knowing your partner so well. To all my readers, “THIS IS THE TIME FOR YOU”. This is exactly the dream you once wished for. And now I hear my traveler friends gossiping,"Ohh! How I miss travelling and exploring." Guys for some time stop exploring places, try exploring THE HUMANS in your home. I bet you won’t regret. Get to know more about people you live with.  Once you know how good it feels, you might even change your bio from ‘exploring places’ to ‘exploring humans’ #kidding

Here, is a small attempt of me singing a parody on Bella Ciao. Do listen and criticize (HAHAHA)
