So I saw her in my dreams yesterday night…. Lovely she was
looking, as always. I don’t remember my dream clearly. It was something related
to a performance. She was going to sing… I never knew she could sing. It was a
TV broadcast. She had to act out the story of Cinderella or (someone). The team
was ready. I was there, God knows what I was doing. See, this is the problem
with dreams. The more you try to remember, the more you keep forgetting. In the
end, you just think that the entire thing was a figment of your own imagination.
The entire thing was a fuzzy memory. Now
I do remember the ending… She sang the first song really well. I was mesmerized
by it. So were a few of the rest. We always judge people by what we expect from
them. You cannot expect Sonu Nigam to sing like an amateur, nor could I expect
her to sing like a pro the first time ever. But she did really well, I was
proud of her. Well, whatever happened after the first song, I do not know, but
something unnerved her and she couldn't sing a word. Her voice was restrained.
The TV people were rushing here and there to control the damage, turns out it
was a live broadcast. I moved my head towards the screen, the background music
had been turned up…so the public had no idea what was happening out here. I
love chaos, mostly I enjoy chaos. But this time it was her, a friend, and I
didn’t seem to like any of it. It was supposed to be a win for her, so she
could overcome her issues, so she could prove to everyone that she could do it.
I couldn't take it no more. I left. I woke up.
