Dreams Unlimited-1

Nobody stops us from dreaming even if we know it’s not going to be true. But hey, you never know. Jo insan sapne dekhta hai, wohi use pura karne ki ummid rakh sakta hai. (One who can dream, can only hope to fulfil it) We mithu also have lots of small dreams. One of the most fantastic is our DREAM HOUSE. We've thought about it so many times. We 5 will be staying together in a beautiful house. Actually the house does not as much matter to us as staying together, but what's wrong in dreaming big! Let me describe it in a form of story: 

There is this house in a beautiful city. It is looking like a remote tenement separated from the whole world even though it was in the middle of the city. Actually it is virtually far away from the city traffic because of the way it is situated independently, not exactly on the main road. But the house is at quite happening place of the city. Let us go a lil nearer. Oh! It’s actually simple and still the beauty lies in its simplicity. Its light colors and small decoration, small veranda, the main gate, the garden, parking space and ground all are properly situated in symmetry. Let us enter the house. Oooh! Look at those flowers! Its colors mixed with colors of sun rise and music of chattering birds…simply superb! The swing in the garden is…wait, who is this creature zooming on cradle in the garden at this point of time 7.00 am? Looking quite fresh, singing and laughing alone! Aha, she’s Chashmish. I think it’s pretty late for her according to her standards of waking up early :) She’s making the swing slow and now going inside the house.

Such a nice hall! It is spacious with marble flooring and POP in ceiling. It has got a big TV with DTH exactly opposite to dining table (my idea :P). And that sofa cum bed (again my idea so tht I can sleep while watching TV) and those curtains are also looking cool. The window here seems to be special type i.e. outsiders cannot see inside but insiders can see outside, Chakli has suggested it to keep the ‘privacy’. When we were designing the house, we had lots of discussion of various things like privacy versus security issues but in all cases Chakli used to make us understand. Sometimes she would stand up like teacher and explain us how architecture of the house should be and I and Chashmish will act as if we are sleeping in a boring lecture and then Chakli will shout at us-“Tame badha bahu nakama chho(You all are good for nothing)”…hehe…Now back to the design, there’s a special curtain in balcony with heart shape curtain folder with curtain bears hanging on it. All cute things were done by Chakudi and all practical things were done by Chakli…so much practical that everybody in the house now calls her Ms Practical only :) 

The sunlight directly comes from balcony and the view of garden from balcony is so nice that it feels like you are in the lap of nature. The balcony is quite big having special swing made from ‘vas’ wood like the one in Lali’s house with chairs and tables. It is an idle place to write or draw or just observe nature’s beauty. The leaving room’s sofas are nothing but confortable Indian seating arrangement just like sleeping mattresses. The hall is big and stable enough to bear the jumping lifestyle of the gang :) There’s one glass cupboard which is having beautiful show pieces either gifted or bought while travelling different places of earth. In the center of plain wall, one huge picture of mithu is hanging, simply superb and natural expressions of all ppl, it reveals personalities of each one.

There are 5 bedrooms over here each occupied by 5 friends. Chashmish’s room is the neatest one. There is one study table (hardly used for study) which she uses to put her laptop and chat! This table has revolving two 3d photo frame one for the pics of her family and friends and the other for pics of hers in different heroine like poses! There is one beautiful pen-stand. Her study table has lots of drawers where she keeps her makeup and accessories neatly in proper identical decorated boxes. Here bed is neat with pink and purple color bed-sheets and pillows. She has got one cupboard where she puts her old study material…in short the things which are never touched. Above it, there is a huge teddy-bear with heart in its hand. Her cloths are divided in 2 cupboards-one for western and one for Indian clothing. She has got the largest window in her room from where sunrise view looks awesome. 

Now Chashmish kept her 3rd hand i.e. mobile phone on the table and went to bedrooms maybe to wake up her poor friends (poor because she’s waking them up at this point of time on Sunday!)

She goes into Lali’s room and all of a sudden starts singing:

       “Lali lali lali,

        Wake up my lali,

        If u dnt wake up, I’ll become lali (red i.e. angry)

       And u will become pili (yellow i.e. pale)”

Lali wakes up with this sudden roar of sound-“What? Why? What happened? Oh you were singing!!!! Why??? The neighbors will throw stones here if they hear you. Pls have mercy on me, I only have 2 ears and u ppl have already damaged it!” 

Chashmish starts giggling seeing her angry expressions. It always happens…whenever Lali gets angry everybody starts laughing looking at her red round face. Lali’s anger is like ice creame-melts in a min but till it stays, it tastes so good :)  

Lali’s room is as sweet as her. Starting with the colour, she’s chosen sky color on walls and ceiling is white in color. It’s having many windows so she can have a nice view in the morning and evening. And one big gallery with a swing!! In room there is a big bed and one music system. That is enough for her. She doesn’t require a computer in this house because mithu is with her so no need of computer. Actually she learnt computer only to remain in touch with them!! Then one big cup board for her daily use followed by one big transparent glass cupboard in which can keep dairy pages, every file with headings so she can easily bring out a topic which she wants to read. On the ceiling, small beautiful Radium stars are hanged and in the front wall some small clouds are drawn. So in night, it feels like being in sky, being in heaven...

Chashmish jumps in Lali’s bed and starts playing with her cute pillow. 
She tells Lali-“Ting tiding ting ting…Lali pili nili has woken up! Today is Sunday and we’ll do fun whole day…ting ting”. 
Lali-“You are coming with me for a walk now right?”
Chashmish: I’ve already taken my walk, I’ll wake up others, if they want to go and make tea.
Lali: Don’t wake up those sisters, they’ll literally bark at you. Today is holiday, let them sleep. They were awake till late last night.
Chashmish: I’ll see, 99% will not wake them up.

Lali was now sure that after some time there would be a big roar of sisters since it was Chashmish’s ‘99%’, she’s surely gonna wake them up. Lali puts on music in her music system and goes to take bath. Her bathroom has got flowery tiles and blue curtains. She was singing and taking bath. Chashmish tries to do something with the historical tape-recorder but could not since she has quite forgotten to operate old cassettes! “Why in the world Lali cannot have a computer!!! I can't handle this old-forgotten-ancestry tape”…she murmured and headed towards Chakli’s room to wake her up. This time fortunately not singing! :) She gently wakes her up and Chakli wakes up instantly. She has already waken up actually since 10-15 min, just was waiting for someone to come. 

Chakli’s room was arty types. Her room is having grey color on wall with white celling and all other furniture and all have different shades from white to black. It has lots of space to put her books and all. There is a board where she can put her drawings and some shelves where she can put some art works. There is a basket in which she puts some fresh flowers. Her art work contains a small collection of paintings, glass paintings, cards, frames and other craft things which she likes the most. She has been making them all since childhood and large collection is stored in the special ‘collections’ room. 

Chashmish (ordered): Lali is getting ready for walk, u also get ready. Look at the size of those books man! Do u seriously read them?

Chakli: Yes of course dear. What else they are for?
Chashmish: How can u??? I mean, how anybody can???…Oh…forget it. Why these diary papers are on ur bed? Wait a min…I thought u were writing some other topic about exams, now which is this topic?
Chakli: Actually it was raining 2 days back so I thought…
Chashmish: Ur computer is on!!! Now don’t tell me that u ‘FORGOT’ last night to switch it off. At least Rujoota was awake; she could have switched it off! You could even have told her to do so. You know u tend to forget things. I don’t understand how u ppl can…

And it went till 5 min. Now after some silence.

Chakli (relieved that she can finally talk now): Now let me explain your queries one by one dear…
Chashmish: Yes teacher! Draw diagram…he he he…
Chakli(madam started): See last night, I and Rujoota was discussing on some topic till 12 and Chakudi was getting bored, so she went to watch some masala movie and grabbed Rujoota along with her. Then I thought of writing abt rains with some music on lappy. Then I felt asleep but a beautiful song started so I thought I would switch off lappy after that song. Seriously I remembered it but at the last moment! But eventually I went to sleep. Now that answers your first query. I closed the door coz of tv’s volume so Rujoota could not come to switch off computer. Now that answers your second question.
Chashmish (smiling): He he…yes Chakli has explanations for everything! How do you get answers for your every mistake!
