I am a weirdo….
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Yup, it is official. I think I am weird. Well, I did not believe it when people told me this earlier, but I have lately started to realize that I am actually weird. And this realization has come about by a mixture of introspection and some good old fashioned interpretation of my own dreams.
There is nothing Freudian about my dreams. No naked women and certainly no naked men either. Oh wait hmmm, never mind. Anyway they are certainly not your run of the mill, Kollwoodesque romp around the trees either. But they seem to be interesting. And weird.
For instance when I was young (must have been 12 or 13 years old), I once dreamt that I was practising with Wasim Akram and Kapil Dev bowling to me on my terrace! On top of it all, I clip a rising ball from Wasim off my hips. Since Kapil is already walkint to the top of his run-up, I run behind the ball to the nook in my terrace (which is exactly where square leg would have been in a normal ground). In real life, whenever we played on my terrace, that nook was “1 G†(i.e. you were granted one run if the ball was deflected into that nook) and that’s perhaps why I think I am strong off my hips. But I digress.
So I run to the nook but I stop on my tracks because I see that the nook (which in reality is not even 2 ft by 10 feet) is full of crocs. Now logically speaking, one would question the presence of crocs on a terrace, even if it was a dream. Not me. I just say “shoo†and the crocs move away, letting me pick up the ball and throw it to Wasim. Wasim walks back to his run-up marker and Kapil runs in to bowl. And we continue playing. Needless to say, I am weird. However I had trouble accepting this. But it all changed two weeks ago.
I am sure everyone has done this. You wake up in the morning and realize you had dreamt about something and you try to recollect it. Right? No? Oh, now you are saying I am weird? Whatever! Anyway, I woke up one morning and while in the shower, started recollecting this dream from the previous night. I knew it was something to do with cricket and it soon came back, well, in a vague sort of way.
The gist is this. I am in a cricket stadium, standing at mid off. I turn and find a bowler (I won’t name him but he is in the World Cup squad) walking back to his mark, mumbling something to himself. Suddenly I find that I have the ball in my hand and so I amble over to him, all the while shining the ball. I hand the ball to him, but find that he’s in the middle of a nervous breakdown and positively refuses to complete his over. Then I find VVS Laxman next to me and he joins me in trying to calm the bowler down. Sachin and Dravid come over too and we are all talking to the bowler slowly and softly. We manage to calm him down and he completes the over and the rest of his spell without incident.
Then the game’s over and now Laxman, the said bowler and me walk off the ground. Laxman thanks me for helping in dealing with the incident during the game. He then thrusts a piece of paper in my hand. I look at it and see that it has a phone number. He tells me that I should call him and come over for lunch whenever I am in Vangipurappu (??). He smiles and walks away to the dressing room. I walk over to the boundary and pick up my kitbag (ya, I have one). As I pick up my kitbag, I find my my pants and my undies next to it. So I put my kit bag down and wear them. Then I walk away with my kitbag.

February 26th, 2007 at 11:11 pmI am intrigued by the fact that you won’t name said bowler. Definitely indicative of deeper issues.

February 27th, 2007 at 4:24 am“Vangipurappu (??)” ROTFL!
Hmm…were you trying to make a point to Flintoff and Ganguly by way of your clothes ( the lack of it)?
Thank you for this post. Mildly therapeutic?! Much more than that! I can rest in peace in the knowledge that I’m not the only one who gets atrociously detailed, weird dreams

February 28th, 2007 at 3:48 pmRevealed: I just shrugged away the thought (that I was weird). Then I whistled through the rest of my shower, ran out the door just in time, head(ed) down the 46, (for I) had to meet the new boss by 8 am. You know how it is.
CM: Well, imagine man! I’d remember that dream till I die. You don’t know how much of an honor it is to face Wasim and Kapil, that too in your own mottai maadi, even if it is just a dream. Adhu seri. How would you know? Donkey, camphor and all that!
CM/MLC: As for the desi girl in the Indian store, I don’t know man. I mean, with my grace, my charm and my style, lots of gals smile at me at the Indian store. If I have to remember all of those gals, then I’d have to use an external hard drive of sorts. And hmmm.. CM/MLC.. enna oru combo!
MLC: Nee (and that dog “me” too) enga thalaivar a romba vambukku izhukkara! Solliten! apparam padai eduthu vandhuduvom.
Zep: Editted that post just a wee bit. check it out now. It was meant to be therapeutic for me.
Prabhu: Chee. Unakku dhaan dha indha madhiri thoughts ellam! Idhula kalyanam vera ayiduthu. Pavam Anu! Idhula “Ewwwww” kku apparam oru lottu smiley vera!
Vevastha ketta janthu da nee!
Shub: Ya… Vangipurappu! Imagine. You would think that Laxman would give me his Hyderabad phone number! I spent some time the next day googling for “town of Vangipurappu (AP)” and such. No results found. And NO! I was not trying to make a point! I am tempted as usual to use a MMKR line here, but I will desist, the joke be juvenile and all!
VC: Thalaiva, No, paavam. Erkanave ppl are calling him eccentric. Nalaikku I dont want google throw up this result when someone searches for him.

March 3rd, 2007 at 6:09 amMy interpretation:
1. You wanted VVS Laxman in the WC Squad and were mildly disappointed(like me) when he didnt make it or (as in my case) when he wasnt given a chance in the WI/SL Serieses.
2. If the said bowler is Agarkar, the interpretation has to be freudian
Adhukku mela naan solla maattaen

2. Nah, it was not Agarkar!
