Yesterday, while going to Pune at night, we had a flat tyre so we stopped somewhere in Aeiroli at one tyre/puncture shop...it was almost 11 PM... there were few guys sleeping in front of the shop, on ground... they were so fast asleep that nothing could disturb them... with no A/C needed, no bed, no bunglow, no car..nothing needed to sleep that well,, i wonder, what they would be dreaming of then???????
the shop was a 6ft x 6ft "kholi" with tyres everywhere...it seemed that the 20 yr old boy who worked there must be living there only... some clothes of his were hanging in the background.... while he was at his work very professionally,, i sat outside his shop on a stone and was looking around for some frames for night photography...sky was full with clouds and moon was playing hide and seek with me... it was looking more beautiful then ever before.. i was so much concentrated and was almost lost in the beauty of that night when flickering lights of an aeroplane brought me back to where i was... then i saw another plane, and another, and one more... all of them were in queue for landing... carrying many hundred sophisticated, high class men and women who were eager to land on Indian soil after a trip overseas, looking forward to getting back to their normal, busy, hectic mumbai life which made them rich and made it possible for them to fly.... i remembered my first foreign trip and getting back to India after that... what a feeling it was for the first time and then i was habituated... one more trip, and i felt less fortunate,, few more trip and it became routine... all the joy of flying, going to a foreign land vanished and so i gave up my approved H1-B visa for the US..left my high flying job and now here i was seating on a stone, in front of a tyre shop, watching the coming and going of flights that distracted my pleasure of watching moon and enjoying its beauty... i was confused as to what my dream was for myself??? do i have any dreams????? of course yes... i have many dreams... my bombay dreams!!!
PS: i will talk about my dreams sometime later as my coffee is getting cold now :)
