Day Dream

It was a boring day in the kitchen today. In the night, most of the family members were not very hungry so I did not get the enthusiasm in cooking and it turned into a plain routine. I looked around the kitchen with tired eyes and suddenly a tray in the rack caught my attention. It brought memories of an interesting story that I read in my school book. The story revolves around the conversation between kitchen utensils and other items present. 

While recalling the story, I started imagining how it would be if these items became alive again for some time. I closed my eyes for a minute to visualize the scene. To my surprise, the boring ambience of the kitchen became pleasant in no time. It was full of colours, light and music. Vegetables were dancing on the marble slab like some flash mob was there. The pressure cooker was whistling like it was flirting with a smile. The cauldron was staring at me in anger due to the black spots engraved on its body. I felt it was complaining to me to clean it harder. To avoid her anger, I quickly looked at the other side and the broom was cleaning the floor on its own. My eyes got filled up with tears after looking at its hard work. I felt so proud of the innocent broom. The wall clock had turned into some band, it was playing music on every second movement. All the items inside the kitchen were having a good time.

“Shall we eat?” A voice came from my back. 

I opened my eyes and my husband was standing there. I looked around hurriedly and all the vegetables, cauldron, cooker, clock, etc. became lifeless again. I closed my eyes again to go back to the dream again but it was a failed attempt. I was disappointed to come back to the real world. I wished so hard to make that dream true so that I can have some fun with them every day.
