Oh my god! This has literally never happened before - I actually remember a dream I had last night with fair clarity.
It was midnight and I was outside the house I grew up in.
Wow! "...the house I grew up in" Who would've thought this is something I'd ever get to say. It's funny how things turn out; I actually have a house I grew up in. How old am I? 80?
I was walking in search of fairly lights. That's right! For some reason, I was walking on an empty road in Delhi, outside the house I grew up in, to buy lights.
Fairy lights are awesome. We need fairly lights.
I crossed the spot I spent years of my adolescence at.
Looking back, that spot is 'the spot' in my growing up chapters. Such monumental discussions, controversies, gossips and moments have happened in that spot that I'm actually smiling as I type this. Like, the time I kissed him on his cheek and it became the fodder for the aunties for weeks after or the time my mum caught me chilling with my friends there when I was supposed to be at the gym. Good times...
There was no one on the streets; no one important, anyway. I don't know if I was home for a break or for good,
I hope it was a break. I don't think I can do Delhi anymore.
but I called him. True to character, he promptly picked up. I asked him who he was with and he just refused to tell me. I told him I'm in grave need of some fairly lights and I must have them asap. He laughed at me saying how amazing it is for me to believe that I'd get that anywhere at this hour of the night. I told him very confidently that I know a place in Santa Cruz that sells them and I'm sure they're open at the moment. "Will you take me there?" "Ummm... chal aataa hoon! Meet me at the spot"
Catch: Santa Cruz is in Bombay.
The dream changed plot after that, so I'm not sure how this one concluded.
When I texted him about the dream today, this is what he replied:

Do I believe he dropped everything (including who he was with) to drive me from Delhi to Santa Cruz, Mumbai for fairy lights?
I mean, I want to!
What a fun story that'd make!
