Any dream readers out there?

This goes out to all my readers. Well….. actually just the four of you… but that sure sounded good! 

So… I have been having this recurring dream, where I have a very important test and I am not at all prepared for it. Either that or I have completely forgotten about the exam. And I get to the class and I am all sweaty and freaked out. This dream has been tormenting me since my college days. Well… those days are long gone, so why don’t the dreams just stop. Yeah….yeah… I know that life is a test blah…blah. But I am leading a pretty non-complicated life, so what is it that I am not prepared for? Also sometimes there is a snake who keeps crawling over my feet…. shudder! Hmmmm….. maybe the snake is my husband coz that’s what his friends used to call him in college. But I don’t think he is a snake…… or maybe I do & that’s what I am not prepared for! Damn….. I feel brain dead. If anyone has any sensible explanation, please… don’t be shy.

Also, on a completely unrelated topic, I ripped my favourite pair of jeans. It took 5 years in the making but I finally did it. And no I did not buy them from some half priced store in the ghetto, just in case you were thinking that. When Tanay saw the tear, he seemed genuinely upset that his mother was wearing torn clothes. Here’s the conversation that followed:

T: Why does your pant have a boo-boo?

Me: It was old and it tore and now I have to get a new one.

T (to Shubham): Papa, you have money… right?

S ( a lil scared): Ummmm…. yeah… kinda…. how much do you need? 

T: $2 (that’s his spending limit at the toy shop)

S: oh..sure, I could give you that. 

Me: No… that’s not gonna work…. how about a couple of zeros after that!
