The guy who slept for waking up


           He woke up happy with a broad smile on his face. He had seen what he has been seeing for years. Dreams had become just a means to wake up everyday. The tiresome nature of his commitments often makes him a bit taken with a gloomy look at the end of the day but the fresh start is again assured. The circle repeated and it has been so for years.

           It was a fine Sunday Morning with all but a necessary break being offered by the almighty. Nothing much but to lay back the entire day was a common interest for all and it was no different for him. It was the stroke of 11 that made him leave the comforts of the bed and start the day. The goals of last night's match have all gone in well alongwith the pegs that made them more cherishable. Tweets and bulletins were unfurled and the early morning updates made it a normal Sunday start. Thoughts flowing around work to the late night drinks made him a bit dizzy again. There was so much happening around him that he could go on for hours thinking about his next set of moves.

           Truth be told, he didn't even have the slightest of thoughts related to these. They just didn't qualify. He was still in his dreams. The journey by the mountain path with the one he wanted to be with. The hours of togetherness was still running through the veins instead of the pegs that could have made the mark. They walked in the midst of the greenery to the unending beauty of the valley of the unknown land. With words, relating to trips and vacations revolving around the day, the dreams took him there without the slightest touch of reality. It was beautiful yet far from the truth.

           Years have gone by and just like the journey, he has lived each moment with her. From the quirk fights at a shopping mall to the kathi rolls of roadside stall, he had experienced 'em all with her. Nothing could have stopped him from living his life to the fullest and that has been the case but in a very unrealistic manner. He had no idea what lies ahead and inspite of all his efforts, knows that the dreams are just his illusive breaks from reality.

           Imagination had crippled him and the tiresome days have been well met by the successful dreams of the unrealistic world.
