Drama & the Dreamer

I always wait for something dramatic to happen in my life. There are these movie-like scenes the mind conceives & as for me, more often than not they are unlikely to happen because of the high-drama content! Sometimes it may be driven by a fear, sometimes by desire. The twists & turns of the so-called 'love-life' makes it dramatic in its own way. There's a kind of immunity attached to the drama. Much of the drama remains only in the mind now. But I still dream, I imagine & I continue to love- every day, every minute and every breath. You know what I mean by drama?

The Dreamers & the Pragmatic

Dreamer 1: Does it take losing someone you loved only to realize it was your first real love? Dreamer 2: Maybe, but I guess I was lucky enough to realize it before the demise of my relationship. Pragmatic: Demise? Dreamer 2: Yes, we broke up. Dreamer 1: That's sad. Pragmatic: Don't worry, you'll move on. No one stops living! Dreamer 2: Probably, but I miss him, I guess he will always be my first love. Dreamer 1: Do you feel like you dont want to let go of those feelings? Dreamer 2: Umm.. kinda, in a way. It's painful, but comforting in a strange way. Pragmatic: You dont make any sense to me. Why would some pain be comforting?! Dreamer 1: Dont you understand? It's all about hope.. Dreamer 2: Yeah, something like that I guess. Hope secretly kept hidden from the world. Pragmatic: You are crazy. Either you do something about being hopeful or then throw all your hope right outside the window. Dreamer 1: Relax, you wont understand. Pragmatic: All I am saying is that you got to move on. Dreamer 2: It's not like I'm not trying. Pragmatic: It's a matter of time. Many years later, this wont even matter. Dreamer 1: But your first love will always be your first love. You cant change that. Pragmatic: Sure, why not? But is that the end of your life?! Dreamer 2: Anything else seems some sort of a compromise. Pragmatic: Stop brooding! Dreamer 2: All i pray to the universe is give me back the love of my past or disguise him in some way for my future. Pragmatic: You dreamers will never learn. Dreamer 1 : And you will never know what it is like to dream... (to be contd.)

Duplicate?? Sales calling often takes you to unexplored domains... from the mills to the multi-storeyed... from the secretary to the boss... from the shrewed to the kind... from the unsophisticated to the polished... from those on earth to the creme a'la creme... you experience it all... Just the other day I went into this office where i hadn't been before... I couldn't believe my eyes as soon as i entered the office... those captivating eyes, the same smile... how could it be? I felt like I was in a horror film. I had to get on with the purpose of my visit so I started a regular conversation. My mind was growing with suspense and curiosity while I continued chatting with the face that was undoubtedyl familiar now. Even then, I thought to myself, it was impossible. I had to be mistaken. I couldn't help myself finally. I confessed.. I said to her "you know, you are freaking me out".. I'm not sure she completely understands what I said, but she had a question mark on her face anyway... in quick self defence (she was part of a client office after all), I said, "oh no, not in a bad way... in fact you are really pretty"... and I continued as she still had no clue what I was talking about... finally I burst out..."You wont believe, just yesterday I saw someone who looked just like you; its a scary resemblence", I gasped... and reiterated.."just yesterday"... Our lady then asks me, "did you meet her at the xyz co. office" ... I still didnt ease out completely, but i asnwered her anyway.. "yes.." i said, and emotionally terrfied "just yesterday..." i continued.. I was interrupted by the lady, who now smiled knowingly and warmly at me.. "She's my twin sister", she said.. I was spellbound.. but breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't stop laughing for the next ten minutes. I wasn't just amused, but I was pleasantly relieved; definitely releived that the two look alikes were related. For me it was bollywood come to life. My life! :)
