I generally have a dream, one that gives me immense joy even in the most depressing of moods, wonderfully crafted and designed but still incomplete. Then one night it so happened that as I closed my eyes, I had the same dream, same surroundings, same everything but then as the dream unfolded further it had someone new, someone whom I thought I knew but then it was still hazy. Surprised and curious about this new arrival, I tried to follow this new character but then as is the case with happiness, this figure continued to elude me . But then I also wasn't gonna give up, I got so lost in this elusive pursuit that I almost forgot about the rest, then at one corner all of a sudden this character stopped and turned around, stunned for a moment as I could not believe what my eyes had seen I fumbled for words but found none..
Her divine beauty and her cherubic smile took me to a different world, for a moment I was numb. Then from somewhere a very sweet voice said," hello, would you like to be my friend." I looked up to see that little angel smiling, gracefully I put my hand forward to show my willingness to be her friend. I was so lost that I had completely forgotten where I was, I just wanted to be with her forever and go wherever she took me. As I was going through this transcendental phase, she said," Come, I will take you to a place where there shall be no sorrow and you shall be happy forever." My lips as if in a trance moved to smile without me telling them to do so.
We were now moving towards a quieter location, far away from the commotion of life. As we moved forward, I dared to ask her who she was, to which she replied," Think of me as the angel of your life, you can call me pari", although not fully satisfied with this but then by that time I was too happy to let the joy of the moment slip away. As we walked along we reached a small hut, she asked me to come in, to which I readily agreed. The hut was a very simple one from inside, it had a cot, a place to cook, some utensils and few other trivial articles. She asked me to sit and herself sat beside me, her face still glowing with the same radiance and then we talked. We talked about everything and we laughed, I could not recall being so happy ever before, hours passed by and then she said," I am feeling hungry, aren't you." By now I was completely in her spell. We then cooked some rice and dal, she then asked me to sit and served food for us, though the food was very simple, I enjoyed it thoroughly. After this we went out, she showed me around, the chirping birds and the green trees, we chatted as we moved. The things that we did that day were very routine but then the joy that I found in them that day was incomparable, perhaps her presence had made all the difference. The moment seemed to be too good to be true, but then a flicker of a thought made me feel really uneasy, I was now terribly afraid of something, what if the pari again vanishes into thin air as she appeared. The thought was too deadly, unable to suppress my anxiety and fear, I asked her, "pari, you will stay with me forever naa." The pari smiled again and said," Everyone has a pari in his life, someone with whom he wants to be all the time, all that matters is to search this elusive pari and once you find her, never let her go and you shall be happy forever."
My eyes were now wide open, the dream was over and as I pondered over the happenings and especially what the pari had said in the end, i was left wondering what if i am never able to find this pari of my life but this thought process was cut short by the rapid knocking on my door by my neighbour.
