Chaos
It’s later in the day and I now don’t even remember much, but I just thought it would be worth a shot. I rem. it was a chaotic dream. There was chaos, restlessness and frenzy.
I was looking for R, she was nowhere to be found and I eventually came to know she is staying somewhere far away. I ran barefoot and took a cab. It was a green color meru cab and driver had a left seat driving. We reached the address I wanted to go to; and bill came upto 28 Rs. only. He asked me for that amount and I was thinking, don’t they have a minimum to charge a user? I gave him 50 and asked him to keep the change. He looked so happy. Thanked me and drove off. Here is a gap which I can’t seem to remember but somehow I met R’s friend and he said, R is not there but he knows where she is staying. So he took me to this busy street, peculiarly indian style streets, narrow and shadowed by high rise old yellowish buildings on either side. Sky was barred from view with loosely hanging electric wires, in a bunch, lump and a mesh. It was a chaos in wires. I don’t know why, but till now my mind is stuck on wires. There were so many of them.
We climbed into that building floor after floor. It seemed that it had lots of apartments and all rented out. Anyway, I got a glimpse through an open door and I realized they were build very well from inside. There was an array of cupboards, a bottom drawer and dim lights to bath the area in a mellow yellow shade.
Eventually we reached an apartment, but somehow the context with R was over. R’s friend was looking for someone else. There was a huge guy wrapped in sheets, bickering out swear words as R’s friend shook him to get up and spell out info that he was looking for. He refused to see even the light outside the sheets. It looked like an imossible task to wake him up.
Then I saw hostel mate, as his room partner, grinning his teeth from cheek to cheek. He said something which I can’t recall. And it’s all hazy after that. There was lot more of travel in dream, as I remember buses, mountains etc. but can’t really seem to recall anything right now.
Looks like all my dreams come towards the break of dawn. I seem to getting off from dreams everyday. My mind is on a run.
