Funny Dream
Like banquet in marriage party, death ceremony is also celebrated with big party with gourmet food in India.
One day I had a funny dream ;
As if I died and my dead body on a plank was carried, following by a procession , very much in Indian style. But the funny thing was that I found myself also at the end as follower in the funeral team , and I was crying mournfully in agony!
My daughter shook me ;I drank water and resume to sleep again . In the morning I was thinking of the dream, sitting on the bed. My daughter asked me,
"did you have bad dream yesterday? I woke up by your eerie sound of whimpering."
"Yes. I narrated the dream to her .
With mischievous smile on face she commented jovially,"O, what a greedy lady! You don't wish to spare delicious food even your own obituary!"
I replied," instead of becoming sad at my death you'r joking, silly girl!"
She swiftly came near to me and sitting on her knee with spreading arms like wings dramatically ,
" did you expect me to embrace your dead body like a Bollywood movie star and howl ' Oh Ma, Ma! I can't live without you & strike my head against your chest!"
I couldn't but lough to see. her drama and buffoonery.
