14th feb. 2008,
There was a temple nearby my college, which I had not visited in the 3.5 yrs. So, I planned to go there with two frndz. We started, bt were struck somewhere in the way when we met a frnd. My friends accompanying me dropped the plan to go to the temple but I went on. I reached the place & got blessings from God.
In an adventurous mood, I thought of continuing my journey and to discover the new place. I went along the side road which was cutting the main road and going through the nearby village. I started the next part of my journey towards the village. The village was a bit far away. After I crossed the vllage, I saw the road continuing ahead and people coming from that side. I continued my journey. After some time, I got a mini bridge(Kalbhat). I stopped there for a moment and saw a few guys playing in the nearby ground. The road thereafter was a bit sloppy, around 30 degrees. I could possibly see the road ending as a branch of a temporary road. I thought of going to that point. I could walk very easily. I saw a few cycle riders coming from the other side.
I went on till I had to stop suddenly as there was a gadhdha ahead. Its height was almost 10 feet. The virtual end of the road was just near, where I could see none now. As there was no way of coming out of that gadhdha, I thought of returning. I turned back and was surprised. Cricket is a game of uncertainty but eventhen you can guess one of the three possibilities, one being the rare. But here, I had no clue on how the road changed its shape(slope) without any prior notice. The slope was almost 75 degrees!
As I had been left with no other option, I started my journey back. I took the help of nearby bushes to 'climb' the road. It was a tough call but I managed to reach almost three fourth of the height without facing much problems. There I saw a bicycle overtaking me as easily as it does in a plain region! I had no clue on how it was possible. It was just in time, I realised that the bush supporting me is going to surrender. I was about to fall when I just got hold of its neighbour. I restarted again for the top. I, somehow, reached the mini bridge which marked the end of the horrible part of my small but, quite possibly, meaningful adventure.
I could feel the sense of satisfaction when I found the road ahead unchanged and the guys still playing.
That was the most appropriate time to wake up from that horrile dream. From that day, I am wondering what could be the interpretation of that dream of mine. Was it a wakeup call from God? or was it just a message from the Almighty to keep cool? or as most of you are thinking, Was it just a DREAM...?
