Potpourri!

Everyone wishes Sweet Dreams to their loved ones before they go to sleep. But we can't assure a really sweet dream !! There is a say or superstition in India that when a person dreams of his friendly gene or close relative getting married, the result would be bitter. They say it would lead a person of his/her relative to death in a mean time.

My mom had a dream last Saturday. She dream't that her brother was getting married to a woman. She believes in superstitions to a certain extent. She believed something gonna happen. I had to convince her and make her alright. She had the same dream the next day too. This put her in great distress. I told her not to believe such things. But still she was worried. Two days passed and she was pretty ok. The third day(Wednesday), we received a news that a one and a half year old child died. The mother of the child is a close relative of my mom, of course for me too !!! That really shocked us, my mom's prophecy came true !!! I couldn't believe this. The child was paralyzed for a year. It can only rotate its eyes. Its body is that of a size of a new born child. Its leg and hands are always held stiff. The child was treated by doctors but they had no hope of curing it. They said that its life would last only for 6 more months. But it died 5 months before its date. I still couldn't believe this... Don't know whether it died of the disease or don't know whether our ancestors were true or not... But i wont blame my mom for this !!! Hmmm!!! What to say about it?? It just happens and we gotta take it as it comes...
