Sandman: A Career in Dreams

This post is dedicated to Neelu, (who, incidentally, totally dislikes certain brands of dishwashing liquid.)


When I was a kid, my soft brain was in the caring, tender and experienced hands of the G.I. Joe. So, between ages 6-10, i wanted to become a death-defying, all-destroying, everything-killing soldier...

After a huge void in my memory(filled with flashes of topping a class, mingling with maadu boys, sickness and self discovery(if you know what i mean)), i come to my early adolescent years, aged 14-15, when, according to me, the greatest job was that of a pimp's. I could see clearly in my mind's eye, entire days spent in an "epileptic fit" -like state of mind(if you know what i mean).

Then comes an example of the famous medical phenomenon of "IIT coaching memory vacuum", where there exists a two year large gap in the memory. Beyond that lies a new world, a world of hope. Living in hope that there will be a day when pornography is not treated as taboo and pornstars are actually respected members of society.

But until that day comes, which is not too far away, i must stick to dreaming almost every boy's ultimate dream: The Big Red 'S'


PS. The title means nothing.. Just shows that the first word that comes to my mind when the hear/see the word dream, is the word Sandman.
