Handcuffed!!

The Clock strikes 5:30 and I am off my bed. The first thing I remember is do my 8 minute meditation. Something of a ritual I have started just to spend time with me and myself.

Then I put on my running shoes and shorts and I am away on my morning jog. As I step out of my house there is still darkness and I think to myself how life can be so still and peaceful at this time of the hour. Reminds me of the Body farms from the MATRIX, each one is plugged into their sleep who will only wake up on the buzz of their alarm clocks.

I see the patterns over the morning sky as the sun rises slowly from the east. I can see the desert dunes which separates me from the hard and harsh desert life with the Civilization which has been built over pure desert and arid land. I live in discovery gardens - Jebel Ali, an astonishing blend of modern architecture and landscapes. I shifted here because it’s close by to my work and sometimes I walk to work if life gets too big for me.

I decide to run up to my office. Although I know there will be nobody in but I still want to see how the place looks when it’s deserted. So I sign in the register and take the first corridor. It’s empty and spooky. I run till the end and notice all files and papers neatly stacked on the tables. I guess the cleaning staff is doing their work. It’s like the elves from harry potter :). I reach till the end of the corridor and take two rights to go back to front desk.

The security guards are alarmed to see me at this hour. I try to get past them without acknowledging them and they panic and start screaming and running behind me. I am oblivious to this because I am listening to music on my MP3 player. But the guards finally outrun me and block my way.
This takes me by surprise and I ask the guards "whats your problem man??"
Guard One: "who are you??”
Guard two: "what are you doing in the office at this hour?"
Me: "Don't you know me?? I am your corporate IT staff!! And I came to office just like that, no particular reason. Is that a crime?"
Guard one: "Show us you’re ID"
Me: "I am sorry, I left my wallet in the house" Now I am in panic mode. "But I signed in the register which says I was there"
Guard Two:"How can we trust you? Who is your boss? Let us call him and confirm the same"
Me: "There is no need for that. I will be coming to office in another two hours, and then you can see for yourself. And the register is also the proof". I really start getting tensed since if the guard calls my boss, he will come to know I was there at 5:30 in the morning and I have no plausible reason explaining my presence at such a time without sounding fishy.
Guard One: He starts relenting "Ok. Give us your phone number and name"
Me: I become cocky and challenge him "How can you not know me, I have been here for almost 3 months. If you want why don’t you check the register?"
Guard one: Now gets irritated "Ok. You can go now, but if you really want me to check, I can do it"
Me: “yea"
Guard one: He calls up his superior on duty on walkie - talkie. Theres static which I am unable to decipher and then he turns to me and says "Come with me"
Now I get hauled up to the superior and I then I think to myself, I made a complete fool of myself. It’s like digging your own grave. I should learn to quit when I am ahead.

Superior: "Whats your name and your purpose of being here"
Me: I keep silent
Superior: "My staff tells me that you were being arrogant with him. Who is your boss?"
Me:"So are you gonna put me in jail for this?" I turn to Guard one "you’re going down!! You won’t have a job in few hours!!"
Superior:"Oh yea, let’s see who doesn’t have a job!!" He then handcuffs me and tries to throw me in a cell.
I try to struggle and resist and wrestle with all three of them and I fall off the bed!!!

This is what I dreamt this morning and as I woke up I decided, I am gonna pen it down. I mean who gets such weird dreams and remembers it in details :)
