The post to be read imagining the sections as hours in a day and as years in one's life.

00:01 - 03:00
I
felt something different, something that I have not been used to. Everything
seems new, out of the ordinary, I technically start a new something, some call
it, new Life, some call it a new Day .
To
me, it just feels like some disturbed moment of sleep, which you don't really
wake up to, just heave a sigh or yell out a shriek and go back to slumber. Feel
blessed that the alarm has a few more hours before it goes.
03:01 - 06:00
I
saw some kind eyes looking at me with all love, some comforting hands pampering
me, I saw those eyes say a few things to me, not with voice but with its
heart. I saw a dream in my mother's eyes. I just registered the feeling of
those eyes in my heart.
In
the midst of that sleep, I saw some vision, I recognized a few things, I saw
some things that am going to make mine. I did not know what to call it, it was
a myriad of things. All with one clear message that I want it to be mine and I
was happy. I did not know what to call it, I had to wake up to an alarm and I
just gave it a name Dream, wrapped it,
sealed it safely and went on .
06:01 - 09:00
I
was all blue eyed, just observing, things and people around, inquisitively, all
with a open willing to take anything as it comes attitude. I learnt a few
lessons, picked up some values and habits all by just watching silently.
Consciously
and unconsciously taking account of the things around, in preparation and
anticipation of the things to unfold.
09:01 - 12:00
Slowly
starting recognizing a few things, watching in silence. Using just intuition to
decide between the good from the bad.
Started
things a fresh, with the things I observed thus far and made a list of things
to do. With all the confidence gained and the values picked up , ventured out
to do the things with all the optimism in the world with an elated feeling of
"nothing-can-go-wrong".
12:01 - 15:00
Some
happy moments, some disturbing hungry moments. Some pampered and celebrated,
some tears of pain all taken care of but.
Encountered
some successes, fell down, hand held through a few steps. Celebrated those
little successes, mourned a few failures, but took the lesson from both and
swiftly got on.
15:01 - 18:00
Confused
with too many things, feeling a little tired, things getting a little over the
head, sometimes under control, but sometimes that head struggling to stay on my
shoulders.
Like
in a coffee break, recollected the things that has happened so far, took a
check on the miles to go before I go to sleep. Sometimes feeling relaxed after
taking counting but sometimes restless in a hurry to go get it done.
18:01 - 21:00
A
bit of unrest, too may people around, everybody around seems happy and busy
with me being the center of attraction. All so fast, from the only pair of eyes
, I see many things and I seem to like it.
Some
of the things that happened during this period were too quick and fast
changing, some of them were realized and cherished, some done in a hurry and
did not register. Among those that
registered, the success I encountered and the people I who touched me, I
unwrapped the Dream package I made put
these things and people as new dreams inside and sealed it back, this time all
the more securely.
21:01 - 23:59
I could recognize
this face very well, the eyes that were all day on me, watching my every move,
it is such a familiar feeling, I have seen it somewhere kind of feeling. The
touch, the smile, the smell all reminding me of something that I have already
seen/felt.
It felt everything
around me seemed familiar. Who unpacked that "Dream" package and
showed it to the outside world? All the contents of that "Dream"
package, I can see it spilled over, taken shape and unveiled in front of me and
leaving me with a "Deja-vu" feeling.
I was living my dream and when I was
on the verge without being able to decide if to feel elated or to be in
doubt if this too was a dream, technically a new SOMETHING begins, a new Dream,
a new Day, a new LIFE, whatever I should call it this time.
I wrote this post
with the intention of the different sections to be read both with the
perspective of it being the hours in a day and as also the years in our life.
To me, life is a collection of a few hand picked dreams and every day in it is
a step towards it. The above is an illustration of a dream dreamt in the
initial wee hours, cherished during the day and then lived later with a
"deja-vu" feeling. The same projected on to the years of life. Dreams
are work in progress and all the work in our day in our contribution to a step
closer to that dream.
"Live life,
live your dream"

this guest blogger who featured in my blog, a while ago, and to this "DREAMER" that the soul
lives in.

Life indeed is a collection of a few hand picked dreams. Loved the paralell between the day and the life time..
You have a art for conveying seemingly complex thoughts so easily Tuppence :-)
@Madhu - Thanks a lot. Glad you liked it
Life comprises of days... What realle counts is the amount of life filled within your each day! Loved the analogy buddy! Good one!
Hey a unique interpretation Tuppence.. Loved this analogy.. oops evn neeraj has wrttn similar wrds bt swear on god, i read thm aftr writing mine :p
very creative, it was a nice read :)
That was an interesting read (although I must admit I had to read it twice!) Liked the parallels between our days and our lifetime...
A novel take on the topic!! Liked it!! :)

Dreams are the ones that keep us alive and awake!

Nice approach, well written, good read :)
The parallel treatment was very good. Isn't it always like that. Life is a collection of moments and each moment can be twinned to a point of time in our life.
All the best fellow blogger! :)

Very creative and unique. It was a good read.
Very nice post. I come to know before your note that you are writing it with two perspectives.All the words like living a dream, Deja-vu feeling relate to the periods in life nicely! Very innovative aproach!
