Last night, I had the weirdest dream of my life. I don’t know how or why, I can’t seem to explain it. But I know one thing, you are not safe from Ragha, no matter even it’s in your dream. Here’s what unfolded in my dream.

Ragha’s normal. If you can say so that is. He gets erratic all of a sudden. He exhibits some unknown super powers, turns violent and more aggressive. He no longer remembers who or what he is. He starts destroying things, massive buildings topple at his raised hand, huge craters appear wherever he steps on earth, Tsunamis gulp towns because of his force fields. Just mindless destruction. Marc, Adhitya and others have either been killed trying to stop him or have fled. It’s vague here. I try to get to him and in some crazy, inexplicable dream sequence he remembers a part of his ‘normal’ past and me. I beg him to stop all the destruction. Ragha being Ragha refuses, says it is his destiny and some vague monologues (mokka) follow that is hard to put to words here. I challenge him to a duel on the condition that he uses none of his super powers on me and we fight it out like old times. The scene shifts to a hill top and there’s a deserted satellite station. We fight. Of course, I’m no match to Ragha’s brutal force. But I offer him no creamy pie ’cause you know the world’s future depends on the outcome of this fight. I use the force of my 49 kg body weight in one blow and he crashes into that deserted satellite station. Ragha’s weakness becomes apparent. He is easily affected by strong electromagnetic power. Even before I could exploit this weakness, in one crazy move (Ragha’s famous for that) he throws me off the cliff.

I woke up, in the middle of the night, shaking all over and my heart pounding furiously. It was 3:55 in the morning.

Edit: I just couldn’t let this off. It’s that drug I’m prescribed for my backache. Hallucination could be a side effect, it claims. But… it felt so real.
