I am an early sleeper, whenever I sit without any work, I get to sleep and always dream about something...keep elaborating what I have seen in sleep like a dream...

When I elaborate it as a story. My mother scolds me I use to tell.. Do not sleep during the day... Keep doing some work, do study or play so that you will have less sleep and your dream stories!!

Do not build your own stories and make us full.

One day I was playing in the sand, which the builder brought to build a house in a corner plot. Lots of noise, and everywhere building material was kept. Whenever I use to get time, I use to go and play in the sand, try to collect colorful stones, shankh and shimple!! One day I found one statue. Which was the Ganpati statue..I have not told anyone, I took it with me at home and kept it near tulsi Vrindavan... After every 10 mins, I use to go and see if my Ganpati is safe or not.

Mother was watching my movement and she asked, why you are going after every 10 mins near tulsi before you never use to go there even if I ask you to light Deepam... What is special today?

Is there any exam tomorrow in school so you are praying to god, ' God? Please help me to get good marks'

We both started laughing for some time...


I was sitting on a chair and unfolded my legs, stretched them. Hand folded back of the chair. And started sleeping, my neck was down. Started imagining something which I was not able to understand.. Mother called me for dinner... 'yes, Aai, coming... Come for dinner... I will eat very little today so that I will sleep without any disturbance'.

Of course, I use to say every day to my mother that I will not eat less...

When I say, I will eat less, means... I will eat full. And there will not even have a place to drink water...so funny... But I use to do it.

Sometimes I feel, I start dreaming and then continue in my sleep, this time I was having my Ganesha with me and we both Rome around, he told me many many things and I will follow his instruction... My friend Ganesha took me nearby my house, I saw a beautiful garden with colorful flowers and flying colors. Butterfly. I was catching it... And keeping it in my pockets... After some time I saw my shirt's pocket was full of butterflies, 

Blue, white, black, golden, green, pinkish-red, small yellow, big yellow... Oh... So nice. I was thrilled running around and catching them... Of course, it was running, walking..my friend Ganesh told me.. Do not run like this after dinner... Be fit and be healthy. Running should be done at the right time, mostly in the morning...

Do good study, start doing it early morning when you are having fresh mind... No other works...

In my exam, I did good secured 1st rank... I thought it is my friend Ganesha's blessing it is...

I asked Ganesha, you tell me how come you traveled till this sand, and I able to spot you...

Is there any secrete behind it?


Then Ganesha started telling me his traveled story and took me back 1000+ years!! I was a part hemadpanthi temple situated at the bank of the river. The Godavari... Muslims destroyed my temple still some part was standing tall... I was situated on the main door's top side. if you look at me my left hand is broken. Modak on my hand is also broken...they threw in the river after cutting my hand... For so many centuries I was underwater.

This sand sunglass destroys the bank and tries to collect sand...

This time along with the sand I reach out to you... Please give me a place at your house...

Something happened I started shouting, I woke up, I saw I dropped a vessel in which my mother kept butter due to my leg movement it got dropped down on the floor... I was stated catching butter which was falling down... My face was full of butter...

Mother got up due to noise. She asked who is there... I said I am... I am there... She asked what are you doing? 

 I was shouting. ButterFly Catch, ButterFly Catch!!

Again she laughed, woke me up fully by putting water on my eyes.


I woke up and went to tulsi tree to see is there my friend Ganesha is there or not... He was not there...

I asked my mother, do you have seen any stone here? She said yes I saw it, I just went and in the river, Godavari did visarjan of that Ganesh looking stone! Why do you do it? I wanted to keep safe him... It was my friend Ganesha!

The Godavari is flowing near my house... In fact, we stay bank of the river Godavari... Place of temples...

Builders built houses, tall buildings 50-100 meeters away!!

I just ran to see my friend, but was not able to see him in Godavari river water... Unfortunately, that day started heavy rain, from the dam extra water... Not able to respot my friend.

Now I am having dream, not as a daydreaming but to respot my friend Ganesha as early as possible from the river... will I be able to catch him back?
