who has the remote?

Loud explosions, I looked out and the cars parked went flying into the air one after the other, I could hear commotion. I thought to myself how did the car just blow up in sequence? I quickly realized that "terror" was here. 

"Lock the doors" and "turn off everything. Do not make a sound and hide yourself" I said. While I kept on hearing the loud "thuds" and explosions of cars. I quietly sneaked out into the corridors to see if the grill was locked to the passage of the floor that we were on. I could hear footsteps, and glass lying around, broken tube lights in the passage. It was a mess. I quickly locked the grill and turned the lock and made my way towards the flat that we were all hiding in. I woke up!

Maybe I am watching too much television, maybe too much of action movies, or maybe I'm watching too much of the September 11th attacks. Whatever it is - it is a manifestation of fear. Dreams don't lie and that's universe's way of communicating with you.

I often laugh and tell my close ones that when I'm sleeping - it's like watching a film. My brains cooks up cool plots and story lines that I cannot imagine in my waking life. But if I dig deep i know it's all about control.

As we grow older, we forget how simple life is, we are controlled by our surroundings, our environment, our peers, our friends, our relatives, our society. Even though I live by my rules, I can hear myself holding back. Life is not like those wonderful quotes you read, or some lines that a great leader said somewhere. 

Truest form of freedom is something I'm yet to comprehend and understand. For now all I want is my remote in my hand. 

Work according to my skill set
Plan a holiday as and when I please
Buy things that are not constrained by my pocket size
Meet people who can explain to me more about the universe
Travel to all those places I read about, where history made it's greatest mark
Eat food that fills my soul
Paint, draw, sing, dance, read
