I guess I am once a month blogger, or atleast so has been the case for the last 2 months. But anyways, do you remember those dreams where you walk into your school campus and notice that everyone is giving you a wierd look or laughing at you. Then suddenly someone points a finger at your legs, thats when you look down and to your shock you realize the you are not wearing any pants. If this doesn't sound familiar, maybe its just me who gets this kind of dreams. This is not the only one, in the other you reach late for your exams, so late that when you walk in everyone is already walking out.
Ok now this "No Pants On" is something you dont want to ever face in real life. But by now you have guessed it, yes I got lucky. I always wished that some of my dreams come true, but I never would have thought that it would be this dream.
It was a normal day, like any other. I had worked my ass off in office, so to kick back and relax I got my stuff together and drove down to my gym. After an hours workout, I dropped my clothes, wrapped a towel and headed to the steam room. Now in LA Fitness (my gym) everyone gets in the steam room stark naked, now I know this is a culture in most countries. But cmon, give me a break I hail from India. So I keep my boxers on. By the way just to let you know, there are two different steam rooms for men and women.
So I sit and relax in the steam room, while my body takes the heat and sweats. If you haven't ever tried the steam room you should. Its very relaxing. After about 15mins in the steam room I let myself out and to my amazement my towels missing. I was angry and surprised at the same time. Angry at the guy who accidentally/intentionally picked up my towel and surprised at the fact that this could really happen. My dream staring right back at me, maybe even smiling. I think rationally after the initial panic and walk right back into the steam room. My reasoning was that sooner or later (hoping it be the former than the latter) the person would realize that it isnt his towel and put it back on the hook. Once again after 5mins when I walk out, my towel is still missing. So I accept the reality and with all the confidence (maybe some over-confidence) walk out to my locker, to check if by some miracle I have brought another towel. Who was I kidding? I was lucky enough to bring one towel.
Now that it was confirmed that I did not have a towel, I thought to myself, do heck with it. Towels are overrated anyways. I walked back to the , cooled off under the cold water (both my body and anger) and changed back into my clothes. Now if you are wondering, I used the papertowels to dry myself.
I also walked to the pool after I was all dressed to check if someone had put my towel back there, but with no luck. After that incidence I never carry my towel to the steam room, I just walk there in my boxers, its better that way I save the papertowels and the surprise.
