Dreamt of a duck today, am getting better & better at it, dreaming up a full sequence of events in HD carity & a logical sequence of events.
In my dream I lived with my mother in an apartment in a dusty city, probably Chennai may be even Bombay (can't think of another city where they might let you keep ducks in apartments.).it was summertime, weather hot the non landscaped apartment compound mud brown with a few scraggly trees here & there.The duck , my pet by the look of it, followed me around in my apartment & balcony(which looked very close to my current balcony).At times looking down the protective grilles to the compound below.
Then out of nowhere she took flight, more like a jump with flappy wings & landed in someone elses house.I ran down the stairs to fetch her back, but could not locate her, I walked around looking for her, asking people if they had seen a duck, that I had lost mine.
Nobody had. I had to give up my search in a few hours, I did not know where to find her.I was almost sure she would not come back, birds seldom do.on my way back up I walked into the wrong door & there I was in a large luxurious home, strangely, it totally did not belong in the otherwise middle class background.The spaces were large though a bit drab due to lack of any furniture.The huge terrace at a lower level overlooked a beach with the sun setting into the sea.A few molded plastic chairs were lined up along the metal grille that lined the terrace, the whole space was empty, I realised I had walked into someone elses place. I quickly walked out closing the unlocked door behind me wondering how I missed the fact that the apartment had a sea facing side.
As I walked up the stairs I saw the couple who lived there(I seem to have known they lived there) sitting by on park benches down below.The woman looked up saw me & waved.As I was muttering my apologies for barging into their home, she called out that my place was beautifully done up.Almost a query into if I could do it for her.I run up thinking there indeed was scope to do something there, wondering if there was money in it, wondering when & how she saw my place & my mother calls,
She's found the duck, it is among the other colony ducks (Colony Ducks??) lined up on a metal railing.Cosily wedged between two others.Among all the others its almost difficult to distinguish her.But she seemed to have found home.So we decide to let her be, amongst her new friends.
I have never had a duck, defenitely not in an apartment, apartment compounds dont usually have ducks, dogs may be , cats even, but ducks defenitely not.Ducks do not sit on railings, their feet are webbed.But then it was just a dream.....a duckdream
