The Stolen Ring of Princess

It was a lovely dream after falling asleep tired after coming back from office. The dream took me to an ancient kingdom of the 12th century. It was all spring in the kingdom and this inclined me to name the kingdom as The Haruien dynasty, which means the ‘spring land’.

Haruien kingdom of Western Europe was one among the mighty kingdoms of the 12th century. The Kingdom was all lush and green with plenty of wealth and the land was rich in gold and diamonds. King Tharros XVI ruled the Kingdom.

As I was new to this dreamland, the soldiers of the kingdom took me to the king for confirming my identity. It was a usual practice in Haru that any dream liver who enters the kingdom will be taken to the palace for registration. There was a very large queue of people ahead of me. I saw them getting their names registered for performing their roles in the dream and moving aside. I was worried, if my dream would end even before registering my name.

Finally, it was my turn. There were four pretty girls dressed up in golden colored clothes marking my identity in water sheet and gave a validity of three hours to live in the dream. However, I was not assigned with any role and therefore I started walking towards the exit of the palace just to admire the beauty of the kingdom.

As soon as I reached the exit, there was a young lady amidst a group of kids. she was Arrietty, the princess of Haru.
 She was a boundless fireball of beauty and artistry, who shined like Cinderella of my English supplementary reader. Her smile revealed eight of the thirty-two captivated stars from the galaxy and her appearance portrayed an art right in front of her audience. Her appearance seemed very familiar as if I knew her for ages.

She was THE ONE, the one who made my heart beat faster and slower at the same time (slower in my dream and faster in reality). She made my heart sail across continents, even without a multiple entry Visa.

Well said by the English rhymesters “I am the dreamer and you are the dream”.

“She is my dream girl,” said my heart and mind acknowledged with an immediate ‘Yes’ with a follow-on quote ‘The validity expires in 3 hours’
 By the time I got closer to the exit, there was a loud voice calling my name. With my heart still beating fast, I thought that some stupid had disturbed my dream. However, fortunately, I was still dreaming and to my surprise, it was the princess, who called my name.

“Your role is ready and it is that of a thief,” said my inner voice. I started flying back towards the princess with all the romantic scenes of Bollywood movies with a thought that the princess had lost her heart and I am found to be the thief. Only by mid way, I realized that I was a thief indeed in this episode after finding Arrietty’s ring in my pocket.

“Oh My God! What have I done?”

“Is this the time to run back or time to wake up?”
 The choice was limited because of the 3 hours validity and I decided to run away, wanting to run away like Usain Bolt or Justin Gatlin, but only managing to move as if a 400m relay was being watched in an ultra-slow mode.

Kudos to the soldiers, they caught me easily. One of the soldiers snatched the ring from my pocket and gave it in my hand.

“But, how did I steal the ring?”
 The Princess with a gentle smile asked the soldiers to release me and said, “Every dream tells you something. The people you saw today are the people who live with you in your day-to-day life. The ring that was in your pocket is nothing but the untold love that you had for someone. Could be me or someone else. Go! Find your love” and she disappeared.

Every character around me started fading away. The mighty kingdom appeared empty, forcing me to end my sleep. I woke up and started finding answers to my dream.
 It has been years after that dream and I am still waiting for the Princess to come again to take the ring back from me. A dream that introduced me to one of the prettiest girls the world would ever encounter.

"Am I audible" - She asked! before closing her eyes... Time for candies !!! I am not sure if kids these days enjoy the priceless candies of our times.  Weekends are busy for two parties, kids in the community & road side flea vendors. Old man, holding a hand full of cotton candies in his left, employing his right to do the advertisement.  Walking around the ground & tempting kids to cry for a purchase ?  Yeah, that's what he is good at.   I made a purchase that day... Waaaaaaah !!! Not more than a couple of decades ago, it was one such day for me,  h olding half done cotton candy by one hand and a  Gilli  stick on the other, I was all set to start the game. When my friends were about to shout ' GO',  darkening clouds & raindrops paused my action. It was an unexpected rain that played spoilsport.  The so-called mango showers arrived to spoil our street games that evening. “Yeiiiii T...

I kicked her for the first time

I was restless that night! my room was completely dark. We all would have had such a day in our lives, the utterly solitary moments. That day I felt " This is the worst day of my life" . Because, it was that terrible & I was going through a lot of pain, the pain of being alone. My tiny little brain raised millions of questions that night. “ Dear God! why are you even training me for this lock down ”, “ Should I even be doing this after all this pain? ”,  “ What am I doing this for? ”, “Would someone even be interested in answering me back?”, “Does people have enough time to listen to my pain?” The moment when I was clueless on whom to ask these questions, I felt a sense of someone’s touch just hovering around me. You know what, during our moments of struggle and pain, the very first person you miss much are your parents. I guessed, "that feel of pampering should be my Mom". She was my one and only hope at that moment ... I wanted to cry hard and te...

There is no one

There is no one to wipe her tears. There is no one to care her from now on. There is no one for her... Almost all the bones of my body are broken. I am missing my consciousness and I might never regain it. This is going to be my last day I guess. She would probably never see me again. All I am worried is only about her because, There is no one for her... I am leaving her all alone in this mysterious world. It’s never going to be easy for her. She is not going to forgive me for this because, There is no one for her... There will be no one to wake me up next morning. I am gonna sleep for one last time. This journey was so quick and I regret because, I ended it. I should have driven slow… This journey should have continued for a while.. I will miss you… Drive Slow & Safe - There is no one special to your wife and kids more than you. There is no one better than you as a child to your Parents. There is no one better than you as a Father to your children. Wri...
