“Daily Hope”.
Email This Post
I picked up the newspaper and started reading. The headlines were unusual so I checked the name of the newspaper “Daily Hope”. I shrugged in sarcasm “these newspaper walas keep on sending free samples of their papers” I kept on reading trying to find out what was so special about the newspaper.
The difference in the headlines was striking. “The American president apologizes to the world community for all the wrong doings of the ex-American presidents” that was unthinkable so I proceeded ahead further and read, “The ruling party and the opposition have cleared important bills much ahead of scheduled time thus reducing the cost of running the parliament”. Madly I read further, “Pakistan to hand over all the terrorists to the Indian government” I turned the page and found that the page three had the photos and the lifestyles of real achievers like the scientists , it also had a story of a farmer who set record by achieving the highest produce per acre in the country. The story of a poor woman who worked as day labour under difficult situation while suffering from cancer to educate her daughter was the most touching.
I turned to the page that covers national news it was a surprise that there was no report of accident, rape or burglary, instead one head line read “PWD saves hundred crores by adopting the measures suggested by management experts” as if this was not enough another read “Rajasthan ahead of Kerala in literacy rate” One news was too good to be true “West Bengal completes tens years without a single strike call or bandh”. The good news was too difficult to be true so
I turned to the business page because market is the best indicator of the reality. But here too a good news flashed across “sensex likely to cross 30 k marks after monsoon”. The shares of the foot wear companies were the best money getters after 2008.I read on to know what was so special about the foot wear companies. The report said, after the historic shoe hurling incident (by the Iraqi reporter on American president) the footwear has gained popularity as implement of displaying anger at international level. After the incident that style of displaying resentment had gained popularity in America. American government has decided to bomb the enemy country with ten million planes full of shoes so the shares of footwear company were on the high, the requirement may go up in the years to come the report said. The paper was most interesting and positive so I turned to sports page to read “Indian athlete bags the gold medal for 100m in Olympics”. The news sent me in feat of mad glee. I started yelling at the top of my voice and dancing when I realized that my mother and bhabhi hovering over me and asking “kya hua?” I woke up from my siesta to realize that it was a dream. Putting aside the paper that I was reading before I dozed off I guzzled a glass full of water.
They say that some of your dreams come true and sometimes you get fore warnings of the things that are going to happen. If in my dream begins a possibility, then my sincere prayers to the Almighty let my dream come true.

had it been true, we would be in heaven. But alas. some dreams are not meant to come into existence
