Dreams 
21stNov2018

I had promised to conjure up this ‘dream’ for my friend and have just a few minutes to compose this into some semblance of an article. I need to quickly dream on.....
They say dreams happen when you are in a  REM state of sleep. The only REM that keeps me pumping up this stench is perhaps my bloated ‘ Ridiculous Egoistic Musings’ that perhaps I would be a darling of the ‘penn’ kind someday. Ultimate penmanship is what all boys strive for.
Freud and Jung have twisted and squeezed every bit of mystery about one’s dream but never have they explained as to what it is to dream BIG ,as echoed by the dime a dozen life gurus we meet everyday. The connotations of ‘big’ might vary with age and gender and most of us can’t fixate on what we exactly want big. It seems that an average human being spends six years of his life dreaming yet with no plausible finality.
I dream as well, but all in a  veil of surrealistic clouds which might put Dali to shame. Some schools advocate the fact that dreams are mostly our repressive thoughts which surface up, or perhaps  a physiological way of memorising what we need to archive.
To fall for either of these narratives is scary and measures up to crucifying me as a demented ,eccentric old fag .
Perhaps one day our genetic engineers might provide us with options to fine tune the verbal , visual and emotional stimuli that we want for ourselves. Imagine !!!
Every one would want to sleep their lives off. Less food to feed and no more wars fought as everyone can fabricate their own perfect heavens. The population crisis would be over and perhaps the world would have to resort to cloning to preserve the race. Imagine!!! I don’t know when I gave permission to John Lennon to stray into my turf. Beat it!! Ooops , now it’s the ghost of MJ
Dreams are caused when the neighbourhood in your head is not environment friendly and throws about electro stimuli garbage at random on your cerebral highway. If we are not careful you can be pounded with these electro stimuli  from your adversary ,which can alter your dream sequence.This will create chaos in the society.In high security zones we have jammers which restrict calls through the cell phone.Likewise we may have to install jammers all across the globe which might prevent people from dreaming and thus restore peace and order.
Desire is the root of all evils. Lord Buddha 
Dreams help rooting for these roots . Lord Jay

Matsya - It was a fish, the first of the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu   which saves the world from an impending calamity.   Whenever Adharma rears its ugly head, the Lord had vowed that he would visit the earth as our redeemer. No particular holy text specifies  the species of fish he incarnated as, and it was left to the believer to conjure up that imagery . If the Dasavathara   chronicle was ever written in Lakshadweep the tuna would have been the torch bearing avatar for sure. The whole sequence of evolution encapsulated in the ensuing avatars caught the imagination of the scientific world. It was in the 1930s that this plot was copied by the west and the two loggerheads Marvel and DC comics were at each others throats purging out superhero avatars in wanton, attempting to save the world. If Gotham city had Batman, I advocate that we have our very own Tuna man for Lakshadweep and rebrand our coral paradise associated this 'fishy' ambassador. The economy of th...

An Onam Bull story

Mr Mahabali is in a pensive mood.                   The sponsored annual holiday trip invitation to Kerala from the ever obsequious ‘beverages corporation’was intimated to him with more than a fervent prayer this year.The much anticipated arrival of the ‘spirit’ of Mahabali was the only hope to bring in the much needed cheer to the gloomy covid days. Mahabali sat brooding as his limelight was snatched away by a lasso wielding cowboy from the south, strutting a buffalo. Once upon a time Bali too was relegated down south by a certain dwarf incarnation of the Lord .This doppelganger of a neighbour needed to be stopped in his tracks before he could carry out more of his sadistic rodeo stunts on the people. Mahabali to counter this ‘Buffalo Bill’ menace had brought in the ‘asura’ recipe of ‘porotta and beef dry fry’ to his beloved people. This ambrosia intoxicated malayali slowed down the progress of Bill as his ‘yama’ha vehicle often disappeared...

Genie in the bottle

   My dad lived a long happy life. As far as my memory goes he never bothered much about our report cards and hardly gave me or my brother sermons like normal dads. At the very end, his magnum opus, he finally stamped out his lesson for me to decipher ,by playing out his adieu on my birthday.This Christmas Eve he might want us to carol Happy birth and Death day in the same breath.Frivolity of birth and life , the yin and yang juxtapositions hardly meant anything at that point of time. Every time I go sit with mom  he peers down ceremoniously from his frame with that quizzical smile so as to say...Did you guys get my cue? The only cue we got was absolute freedom to lay hand on two bottles he had brought down from Bahrain . My dad was a teetotaller and this was one of his 'spirited' ideas of sanitizing the  customs officials, as he came down for good.The bottles bobbed into Kochi shores unscathed and he kept it uncorked for forty long years till this very moment!!It ...
