My strange dream

I had a strange dream this morning.

I was going to my office. On the way, I saw an attractive man (who looked a bit like Sebastian Stan) getting tangled in chains. He tried to escape but couldn't.

I see him 6 times on that road (presumably I was going back and forth on the same road) on the same day. Each time I see him with other people getting their pictures taken. He appeared distressed and sad, as if he is trapped and finding a way to freedom.

Last time when I see him, I think to myself that this man should be set free. He must be in pain. As if he read my thoughts and looks directly at me. He makes a long eye contact with me, almost like a stare down. 

When I return on the road, I see that he was not there, but the chains and the whole setup still remains. I think to myself that the man must have left, he is finally free. Then, I feel a gentle tap on my seat (I am in some open air vehicle). I turn around to find the same man, as if to assure me that he is fine. He is silently thanking me for caring for him.

Some questions remain: Who was that man? Why did I silently pray for him? How did he understand my thoughts? Was there any hidden meaning in "being chained". 

Maybe I will never get these answers or Maybe I will. Only time will tell

Opinion: Upstaging the bride

 Wedding season is about to begin. In the event of enthusiasm and glamour, nowadays I am seeing various social media posts featuring the bride, groom, and the whole ceremony. While most of these are wholesome posts, I am seeing a plethora of disheartening posts. Not only the social media posts but I have heard stories from friends and colleagues about how a specific guest was trying to upstage the bride. These posts/stories specifically discuss the following, where the bride is upset because: a wedding guest is wearing their own wedding outfits a wedding guest is wearing the outfit in the same colour or similar to that of the bride a wedding guest is wearing a bright colour which is drawing the attention away from the bride a wedding guest is prettier than the bride a wedding guest is wearing a designer outfits or a designer inspired outfit Most of these outfits could be inappropriate for the western weddings. In western weddings, most of the brides are dressed in white...

Book review: The Brahmastra unleashed

The book " The Brahmastra Unleashed " it's written by D Sivanandhan who is the former police commissioner of Mumbai and former Director General of Police Maharashtra. This book is a first person account of how the Mumbai underworld was destroyed by the Mumbai Police. As someone who is born in 1980 and grew up in 1990s in Mumbai, I am very well aware of the underworld situation in Mumbai back then. In 1990s Underworld was not exactly hidden. The underworld was not in the background, rather was "the main character" of Mumbai. One was not required to search for the underworld, rather the underworld would come chasing someone at their own doorstep. Traces of Underworld could be found in any lane, any road, any corner, any shop, or any building - practically everywhere. Everyday some or the other person would come face to face with the underworld activities. No one would know when they would witness an underworld activity that could lead to their apparent...

Haunted: The burning woman

All my life, I have heard ghost stories in my school, colleges, and offices. Rather it is safe to say that my school, colleges, and all workplaces were haunted. All stories I heard were the first person accounts.  This story is from one of my workplaces. This story is not for the faint hearted. The story of the burning woman. I had joined a new company. I was in my induction and probation days. As I was new, I was following the "standard rules" such as lay low, follow the orders of superiors, complete the work before the deadline, and avoid old colleagues' gossips.  It was one fine evening, around 6:45 PM I was still in the office. The official log off time was 5 PM, however I was waiting for my boss to tell me to leave (yes, I was that type of employee). Additionally, I had a deliverable with me for completion. Most staff members had already left. In an office of around 150 people capacity, only 6-7 people remained including me. A few seats across sat a senio...
