What a bright day!! I am on the streets and very few people on the roads ... An unusual sight on a weekday around 9 in the morning ...I am having a very beautiful time as if I am gliding through the streets ...My whole body is relaxed ... The headache which was tearing my head apart early this morning has magically disappeared... There is someone massaging my hands and legs and oil massage to my head... What a pleasant time I am having...
Ahh!! My thoughts rush back to those days when mom used to rush behind me to give me an oil bath... the whole body and my hairs and scalp smeared with hot but pleasant smelling coconut and sesame seed oil and used to feel sleepy at that time exactly like I m feeling now...
Away from home I was just wondering how am I experiencing this beautiful time and that too on streets... but I let myself sink into this phenomena as I know I would be dreaming like I have been doing past few days. Like getting a job in the dream company which is near to my home, going on a long drive on the bike which I am crazy about with a group of old college friends, doing a bungee jumping which gives me a feeling of a free bird...
But what’s happening??? All my good-for-me feelings are wearing out and there is a ripping pain on my back and am unable to feel my limbs...the oil is flowing onto my face... then I tasting blood in my mouth... Oh my gosh!!! That’s was a good dream of a nice oil bath but this should be another dream... But no I am feeling the pain... and suddenly its no more a quiet street but people are indeed bustling around and there are set of people around me... I realized there is something wrong with me... I try to sit up and there is another jolting pain across my head...
There is indeed blood in my mouth and it’s the blood that’s flowing across my head which I mistook for oil... I have met with an accident... I went to get my breakfast from a nearby hotel. There was a rashly driven auto coming at full speed. I had tried to avoid him and then I don’t remember anything. I tried screaming now but it came out as a gurgle and died out in the throat.
I tried screaming out once again and this time there was no stop of the voice … it came out full-fledged. I was screaming with my full energy and I could feel the fresh pain on the shin of my leg. One of my room mates was kicking me and pouring water in order to wake me for all the mess I was doing during my sleep. Then I realized I was in my room lying on my bed on a lazy Saturday morning. This much for a weekend… no more of going back to sleep… thanking Almighty I got up to see the midday sun already on my head………
