Childhood nightmare

All of a sudden, out of nowhere I remembered a nightmare. I must have been 5 years old, yet I remember it vividly.

I saw that I was chasing something or someone. I am running in an open field. While running my dupatta (scarf) gets pulled. I turn around and I see a leafless shrub. I see ahead and suddenly the view in front of me has changed. It is no longer an open field. I am now in an apartment complex which looks just like the one near my home. It looks dreaded. I must have fallen down now. In my nightmare I am about to cry. Just then, a vehicle stops next to me. I see myself in that vehicle peaking outside the window. Looking at my fallen self.

When this nightmare occurred to me, I was scared. 

Now I think about it, I feel strange. Why did I remember this nightmare so clearly? Why my 5 year old brain created this illusion? Was this astral projection in my nightmare? Was that me in the vehicle or was that an apparition? Who was real? 

All these questions will remain unanswered, I believe

Selfie

What do I want to put on display when I post a selfie? Is it a new dress? New accessories? Outfit idea? Rings? Earrings? All of them? None of them? It depends. For me, selfie is a self expression. It is an art.

Life and death

Image
It was a Sunday afternoon. Everything was quiet. Everyone was enjoying their siesta.  I had my coffee. After that I stood in the balcony. I saw a crow who was struggling to pick up something heavy. I continue to observe the crow. Later, I noticed that crow was dragging the dead body of a pigeon. I was shocked to see that. I thought to myself, Are crows cannibals? Will the crew eat another bird? They do belong to the same species, so will the crow eat the pigeon? Soon, all my questions were answered. I saw that the crow dragged the dead body of a pigeon to a car and started to eat the dead pigeon. There were many crows surrounding this particular crow. They were waiting for their turn to eat the pigeon. Soon the crows were distracted. The reason for their distraction was a cat passing nearby. The crows saw the cat and started flying. The cat ventured near the dead pigeon, probably sniffed the pigeon. Then the cat left from the scene. The crows returned to the scene and started eating th

Not a friendly face

Image
I often get told that I do not have a friendly face. Looking at my face, people often tell me that I look very strict. If I don't smile, I appear to be unapproachable. I have been told throughout my career that I look unapproachable. I look strict and that is why I look scary people are afraid to approach me because the way I look. This is purely based on how I look. They don't even bother to interact with me to decide whether I am approachable or I am unfriendly. Based on how I look, I am easily judged as strict unfriendly or unapproachable. The reality is quite contradicting to their judgement. I do not need to say anything in addition to that. That leads me to several questions which are an answer till date. Unapproachable, what does that exactly mean? Unfriendly, what does that mean as well? How do you label somebody as unapproachable or unfriendly just by looking at their face? What happened with "Don't judge the book by its cover"? What happened to "bea
