Dreamers

"Help me Aashish, help me". The beautiful ear soothing voice echoed in the corridor. I had been following the voice for quite some time now but had not figured out who the girl was or where she was. I just knew she needed my help desperately. I looked in every room, every nook and corner of the corridor but all in despair. I was going to give up when I finally saw her. There she was, hanging from the roof of the building, barely. Her beautiful moist hands slipping ever so slowly, her gorgeous dark eyes shedding those diamond like tears, her voice breaking over the pain but still calling out just one name - Aashish. Not for long, I thought. Her 'Hero' was here to save her. I jumped the two floors like a pro circus performer. I grabbed her hand just as she let go (it was that close). The worst was behind us now. With the gladiator like strength I pulled her up, her eyes filling with gratitude with every small pull. She was saved and as she rested in my arms, I knew she was the one. "What's your name?", I asked. Her rosylicious(if its a word) lips parted and I heard the word.

"If sleeping is what you wish to do in the class, there is no need for you to come. Please leave." I was thrown out of the Macro economics class once again. I don't remember when I slept off and started day dreaming. But whatever, it was worth it. Though I must say, the name of the girl would have made it even better. I tried to remember her face. She resembled someone from my real life: a bit like the hot senior from NITH, a bit like my "TV n Radar" teacher, a major bit like the girl I was dating in school.

There was a smile on my face. These dreams always had this impact on me, so I never complained. I just wondered how many others out there do the same. I asked Adams about his views on this serious issue and I got the reply that I had expected. "Thus machoo. Kya banda hai?". So boring,so not imaginative. It was obvious that no one would actually confess that they day dream. They might be stating the facts but we will never know. What we know is that there is no harm in day dreaming. In this monotonous life of ours, we never get what we want. We may get close but we are never there. We keep struggling to reach out and grab those success milestones, always unaware that its an infinite path. A never ending vicious circle. Soon, desperation creeps in, frustrating us, eating up our insides hollow. The weak give up, the strong keep fighting and the wise DREAM ON.

"Aashish, Help me".
