My Happiest Day Dream

My Happiest Day Dream:-
My happiest day dream takes place in the night.
Imagine you are standing in a completely dark street, so dark that you don’t know it’s a street. Rain is pouring down. Your head is turned up, as if in a contemplative state. The shower falls squarely on your face, drenching your hair, drops trickle down to the back of your neck – one by one. But somehow they don’t itch you.  You are completely at ease with your surroundings, with the falling rain, with being alone in the darkness, with the wet clothes sticking to your body.

Suddenly  a street lamp goes on,  just above you, where you had been staring for long, as if you brought it to life-to light.

Somehow the sudden splurge of light does not disturb your eyes, does not cause your pupil to grow & contract as if it was expecting it to happen. This is the 1^st time you get to see the rain drops, some a cm long some 2 but all falling parallely towards your face, it is as if the lamp is there source point. And you are completely submerged, wetted not by the rain but by the whole scene, fully engaged in it’s completeness-completely. Hours, minutes don’t exist, it’s you, the rain, the yellow light and the cm long rain drops falling on you.

If only my whole life could pass the same way fully engaged into the completeness – completely & at the end of it all, if there is a beginning and an end, I simply vanished away as if washed down by the rain into the darkness.
