iN a DreAm

when i was a kid, i had this dream.

no. i mean literally. i had this recurring dream.

in my dream, i was living in my native place, bedra and i was with a hundred brothers. and we could fly to various cities all over india to solve crimes or help ppl or watever [ pls note my altruistic bent of mind that started from a very small age :D ]. ok granted that the dream was mainly influenced by too much of mighty mouse [ btw, what happened to mighty mouse?? ] and watching the weekly Mahabharat episodes on the sly [ all the rage back then ].
the brother thing? i think thats coz my 'real' brother cudn't fly at all AND he was all of 4 yrs and whiny and a brat. and so i was kinda convinced that all i had to do was 'make' 100 brothers and then i'd GET those powers and then i'd be the NEXT mighty mouse.

took me a couple of yrs. actually couple of decades to face reality. it was in college actually when i was in a girls hostel and the topic of discussion was ... < surprise! > boys!!
and while i was sitting on the side, bored, [ coz i didnt think boys were anything to giggle about [[ hey! puppy dogs tails and frogs and snails... ]] ], suddenly they turned to me and were like -
"who's YOUR crush?"
"ummm.... no one"
"u mean you don't like even ONE single guy in our college"
"have you SEEN the guys in our college???" [ theyr MAJOR dorks !! why the heck wud i swoon over THEM??? ]
"ok now your just lying, there are plenty of cool guys, like A, and B [ names changed to preserve hotness < rolling eyes here > ]"
[ wats with all the brackets < grimace > ]
"i cant have a crush on them, theyr my defacto brothers"
..
..
ghastly silence

"why wud u make the cool guys ur brothers?"
and then i told them of my dream. u know the whole flying and saving the world thing.
..
..
ghastly silence

"are u serious? u don't really believe that do you? ur like 20 friggin yrs old"
[ roommate losing her mind by this time and i was thoroughly enjoying myself :P ]
ya but that was the time my dreams were shattered and i realized... [ brace urself ] cartoons are NOT real.

sigh.
so much for the dream

oh we had a dog too, in my dream. i mustn't forget him!
:P


ps: the damn experiment is &%#%^# WORKING!!
darn it, i want to SLEEP darn u, creepy-person-in-my-team who suggested the idea.
[ imagine kicking the dude in his shins ]
