Off late I have been having nightmares. Some I dont seem to remember but some of them are kind of hazy in my memory. The cause for it I can only guess. But it has resulted in me waking up at some wierd times and then not being able to sleep for a while again.
The one I had last night was wierd. It had all the ingredients of a horror movie. I was at home in Bangalore and I see this little girl coming out of a pit that been dug up. My dream then takes me to different places. On the way I meet a wierd family. A sardar married to a foreigner and they have a kid. I then realise that the kid/ghost that I had seen had something to do with SRK!!!
I then get in touch with him somehow at his gym and then I bring him to my place. So this girl sees us and she advances towards us.
I wake up with my pillows wet. I look around and see Tuffy snoring. I rest my head and wonder what that was all about. I dont have the patience to read the interpretation of dreams to understand this. But I need to get rid of these nightmares.
I wonder what is there hidden in my subconscience. I wonder what it is that I'm thinking about. I wonder what it is that is bugging me. Maybe an Angel has the answer.

The Hunting Party - An Extended Eulogy
After a long time, a movie worth blogging about (The joker deserves a full page obituary).
Richard Gere and Terrence Horward(he has a very cool set of eyes!) star in this edge of the seat thriller. Supported by Jesse Eisenberg, the three of them set out to catch a most wanted war criminal. The plot is really good, the director manages to keep the audience glued to their seats.
But I would like to write about something else here rather than the movie.
It will sound like the same old "Whatz so Civil about War anyways.." but yes... it did show how petty our lives actually are.
How can one human being live in a world so secure when there are millions of others being hunted, raped, killed, butchered! Is 'secure' an illusion? All it takes for a riot in India is a rumour. Forget being attacked by outsiders, its these attacks that are more scary. Why did John Lenon sing "Imagine"? Did John and Yoko actually find true love? Can the truth can set you free? Are we equipped to handle the truth?
I hate watching News channels, I detest reading news papers. So, my GK is a little poor. But probably the only thing my GK would improve upon would be "Who is the latest official to get involved in a scandal".
But movies like these make you think. Sometimes for the better, or sometimes for the worse.

Tainu - All Gods in One
According to Hindu Mythology, Bhrama is the creator, Vishnu is the saviour and Shiva is the destroyer. Now dont quote me nor sue me if I'm wrong here.
I have seen all these features in my wife. She is the creator, the saviour and the destroyer. I'm sure that many would agree with me but are not willing to accept it!
I think the Gods were biased when they created man and woman. How could they bestow so much power in a woman and also let we men live in the illusion that we are in control!
So maybe in school, they ought to teach the wife's prayer! That would be fun. It may go something like this ..
Oh Wifey,
Please ignore the wet towel on the bed
Please forgive me for wearing the shoes inside the house,
Please maintain calm when you catch me drooling at that hollywood actress,
... and so on and so forth.
Amen.

Attachments
Off late while going through a patch of self discovery, I started listening to a tantric meditation tape. The tape started off by saying that we all crave to be attached to something. it could be Love, Money, toys.. anything. So trying to get attached is not wrong but with what you want to get attached is what matters.
What I learnt is my heart has become very stone hearted. Stone hearted because it is stopping itself from getting hurt. It has now built a rock solid wall around itself. The downside of that is I am now devoid of any emotion. I dont feel happiness, I dont feel sadness, I dont feel anything at all. This has taken the laughter away from my eyes. I now have only a dot, and inside the dot are Tonik and Tuffy. Tuffy has been a world of strength to me. He has never left me alone for a single minute. He is always by my side with his unconditional love. Thank you tuffy.. who ever you are.
So as I was saying, I think its better this way. the more you're emotionally attached, the more chances of you getting hurt. I dont want to hurt anyone, but neither do I want to be at the receiving end. Is that too much to ask??
