I was in a railway station. A newly built train decorated with marigold garlands was about to leave. I found myself on a weak tin roof crawling firm to stand my feet and to tread along carefully. I looked down and saw my brother holding the rods of the door of that moving train. He seemed happy but I was afraid for his safety. As I moved along carefully I found a torn pass ticket of a movie. I held it in my hands and I saw the bearded face of Aman Wadhan.

Next moment I was in FTII amidst people waiting to get into the theater to watch the act. A friend of mine came along with a lady to inform that the lady wanted to meet me. Somehow in the dream world I happened to remember that I had met her in some railway station in the distant past. She stood shy as my friend was talking to me.

Later we both were walking on a steep stairs talking and knowing each other better. She was pretty but her front teeth revealing a bit of her gum looked a little odd to me. She was tall, Anglo fair with long straight light brown hair. There was undoubtedly immense warmth in her. I was drawn towards her with every walk and every step
that we took. I was suddenly happy in a conversation that I don’t remember but I remember clasping her waist and gently holding her tight in some delight. She grew shy and awkward tenderly escaping from my hold. I learn t that she was studying music and I was even more interested now.

NEXT we were peeping through a window of a roadside house. It was cold and snow all over the place with almost no people around. The house too seemed empty of the room we were peeping in. Like children we snuggled to get a better view. The room was lit in a dim blue light awaiting celebration of something pious and holy. The burning of a candle in the room threw floating tiny red and blue glares on the window we were peeping through. Her beautiful cold hand with thin straight fingers tried to grasp the floating glare tenderly and she did succeed from outside the glass pane. That was magical! I too followed her encircling her with my other hand and caught an appealing blue glare made up of four pairs of tiny dots that floated like a celestial dispersal seed!

On the next instant we were found invited by the lady and children of the house. I believe they saw us peeping inside their house.

If I am not mistaken my girl’s name was Elinav.

I woke up from my dream in the middle of the night… tried to remember hard the details by replaying my dream on my mind. Writing it down now… I don’t know why?
