What Dreams We Dream ...

Its truly extraordinary how our brains serves up such illogical yet compelling dreams ...

I recently had a dream where I refused to follow some stupid ritual which occurs when somebody dies ...

in my case, my father had died. And imagine what! I refused to follow the herd and said 'No' to everyone including my father !!!

Even my father failed to persuade me that I should follow the stupid rituals which were taking place when he died ... and then the news of my ritual reached the PM who sort of belonged to an area nearby and so he came and tried to persuade me as well but I refused him as well. As far as I can understand about the sudden appearance of the PM, I think that happened because I had just seen a discussion on NDTV about the legacy of Indira Gandhi. This was an episode of We The People hosted by Barkha Dutt ... who happens to be a competitor of mine ...
