Dream -um...Wake -uppam!!!

I saw this very weird dream y'day....can't stop laughing on it ever since morning, so i finally decided to write about it and "take it off my system", if you know what I mean....
So here I was being offered a job from this pretty decently placed company (FMCG), out of campus...somehow, they really wanted me, but equally somehow, it was a temp job! So anyways, I was still mulling over it incomprehensively when I hear my brother egging me on to accept the job (This just raised the Bizzare Quotient of the dream!)...Somehow I got to know that the rest of the family also approves my doing a small stint here....and I remember thinking, "Have they all flipped!? They are encouraging me to take up something which will give me around 10,000 pm and give up lakhs???"  Now where did these figures come from!?....but hey, its a dream! ;)
The scene changes...I am working with this company....I enter the building dreaming (!) of glass cabins, state-of-the-art infrastructure, suits, et al....I am in a black suit...
....and I can see the building has rooms (as in classrooms!) instead of glass cabins, 2-3 people in different rooms in the name of workforce and one (Repeat -- One!) early 2000's model of a computer stationed in one of those fibre computer cabinets!!!
Somehow on seeing me, the guys get down to some serious work...after staying there for a while, I come out of the room and am walking down the alley when I meet -- Lo and Behold -- none other than Aamir Khan!!!!!
(Seriously, Mr. Brain...What!!?...I mean, What!!?)
Anyways, back to the dream...so somehow (again) standing there itself, I become cognizant of the information that Aamir is somehow related to the same project for which I am also there ... Super! Except for the fact that the cat took away my tongue and my eyeballs were ready to pop out and do a Jim Carrey in Mask...
I want to behave in a dignified way...I want to let him know that I appreciate his work ... I want to build a rapport with him...I don't want to be a dork... I don't want to let him know that my tongue has turned into jelly and my stomach into a mixer-grinder... I am supremely confident of behaving myself...
"Er...Sir...I...er...(squeaky voice) I have done MBA from XLRI...(licking my lips)...you are Sir...Aamir Khan Sir.." ...and I realize I am showing my teeth like an absolute idiot -- what I am doing cannot be classified as "grinning" .... Grrrr... From where did the "MBA from XLRI" come!!?? Whatever happened to Mr. Supremely Confident?
I mumble something unintelligible ....and Aamir does what anyone in his place would...he held up a bunch of papers and said, "Er, right...I have some work to do"
And with that, he flashed one of his infectious smiles and walked down the stairs...
And that woke me up...with me feeling the embarrassment in real life, instead of the dream life!

  2. Lol...well, if I were to peck my liking for the 3 Khans, yeah, I guess Aamir would be on top...though, "crush"!? That's reserved... ;)
