Daydreams - Bipana

Daydreams have taken me to places I have seen, places I have yet to see and places I will never see. While in Nepal with heavy loadshedding (no electricity at home to balance the load), with the dim light of a candle at times, I laid on my bed or sat on my study chair, and dreamt. 

Sometimes I actively drove my dreams. One of my favorite dreams was to save that girl, the princess from a group of evil people who maybe wanted to kidnap her or do something more malicious. I would approach them, and with my insane fighting skills, drop them, one by one. This definitely was the result of watching a lot of Bollywood movies back then. Being the hero. And this was in contrast to when I would walk to the bus stop and could not even talk to the girl who used to glance at me once in a while.

Some days, dreams would just float by me. Like wisps of light fabric floating down the ceiling to my outward hands, I'd feel the dream sweeping by me. Floating in the clouds, flying, going out of the earth into another world.

And sometimes, silly ones like playing soccer when watching some boring movie. And I'd hit the person in front of me in real life in school.

Day dreams were never scary. There was always me - exploring, joyful or doing some activity.

You can drive all night
Looking for answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer

If we could find a reason, a reason to change
Looking for the answer
If you could find a reason, a reason to stay
Standing in the pouring rain

Note: And I don't smoke. I just love the vibe in this song.
