my entire family and friends stand outside in a dark shadow and stare at a forest trapped inside a barbed wire fence. a dark brown shingled house can be seen, almost like an illustration from a book of russian fairy tales through the bushes and trees within the forest.
aaji wants to show us around the house - i guess it must be the family home- but the only guide that we have is yoko ono. yoko ono opens the gate into the forest and we follow her in single file as aaji gives us historical incidents that occurred in the different spaces.
thomas and me walk beyond the house following yoko ono and she tells us that up ahead if we continue we will get to the water. thomas and me continue down the path that starts climbing. it is pitch dark and in the light of some strange vehicles headlights i see a mud path leading uphill. suddenly i start running up wildly. thomas follows.
the air is cool and light. as we run suddenly the ground drops on our right and a huge sky is revealed. it is beautiful night sky with millions of stars. exhilarated and laughing i look around and in the darkness slowly i see the silhouettes of houses emerge. dark ominous outlines and i realize the facades of these homes are made of leaves. they are huge dark green facades with blackened windows. beautiful.

you've got into this extremely weird kind of blogging... descriptions and more vivid descriptions! it's nice... but where is the cryptic critique?
never thought about that... hmmm.. perhaps i am bored of critique and merely want to document the present
i m oaky with this.... rather had i known u more n for longer... this wud have been th most interesting thing in my life...bcoz then i wud have tried linking ur experiences ,ur subconscious, etc etc n spent my day talking to u bout ur dream.. never mind..
besides too much of deconstructing evrything is boring n painful for th mind...
is this dream 923a a culmination of ur 4th yr ad proj+ ur aspirations for mumbai + th paper u r presenting + ur family home ??
perhaps all.. though what yoko ono does in any of those is completely confusing to me
well probably yoko ono adds the music to the (hindi)film of your life in the dream where you are the hero, ur 'aspirations for mumbai' is the heroine, '4th yr ad project' is the villain, ur 'family home' is ur faithful sidekick and the 'paper u r presenting' the reward!!!
Bravo! clap clap clap
or are u imagining yourself to be john lennon?
"You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one "
and now there is a halo above my head.
and now ur also karan grover..
all that is left are images of poor hungry children from africa and ur transformation shall be complete!!!
or is that nightmare #239?
Lucky are those who dream
Fortunate, those who dream vividly
Even more fortunate those who remember them
And I'm just plain simple jealous
its really quite simple,actually...
youre more upset than most of us about yoko ono being the one to break upthe beatles...whose remixes you have been listening to in your car recently....
hence ,she's in the dream.
th rest of it....i'llmake up as i think up more stuff.
:)
