A Dream Differential!


What I’d consider mostremarkable is that it wasn’t an elaborate whole dream of a particular night,but it was a series of quite a few dreams, consistently dealing with the samequestion whirring in my head, spread over several nights. I can’t explain whyor how this is possible, and I don’t need to, for this whole exercise is not aboutdream analysis, but about something more important! And due to this importantsomething I went to bed searching solutions for my query over the past few nightsand perhaps my dreams got naturally shaped as per my requirement, so to say. Anyway,after a lot of beating around the bush my dreams started getting more to thepoint and relevant, and last night I got my solution. I’ll tell my boss tomorrowand I’m sure he’d jump for it.

I don’t reallyknow why there’s been such an urge in everybody’s mind nowadays for things thatare distinctly different—normal mundane things that we do every single day, butnow we want to do or accomplish those with a resounding difference. Just perhapsto kill the ennui of routine or doing things the same way every single time, I muse!The surprise element is basic to any of such differential ventures, myintelligent mind grasped this long back. Like the online grocery stores thatused to take more than a day to deliver home now shows the doorstep deliverytime to be just five minutes, or anything of the that kind for that matter!

My shopkeeper bossof late has always been telling me: high time we change the way we deal withour customers. He was so eager, so enthusiastic or rather so desperate that I hadto take him seriously, and accordingly I began to search for ‘how to bedifferent’ day and night, the relentless pursuit obviously penetrating mydreams too. I’m now focusing on the solution I achieved from my last night’sdream, I watched as it just happened in front of my closed eyes and remember everydetail clearly now.

The moment acustomer appears on the entrance engage two ever-ready guys, like bouncers in abar, to grab him/her, lift them over the counter and seat on a cushioned chair;then plug in all the devices around into every possible pore of his/her body;and feed into him/her all your novelties that you’d want to. Mind you, all theaction must be completed in a flash, before the customer had time to expresshis/her appreciation or displeasure or nightmare.

Yes, it soundsreal exciting! The surprise element must continue to work—with a returningcustomer the guys may now lift him/her upside down like in a yoga position, puthim/her on the velvety chair head first and then the plug-ins, starting withthe feet this time. Thus, the enticed customer must be served with a surpriseevery time s/he returns.

My boss wouldinstantly point out the additional expenses for putting up those chairs atthose cozy corners, a few more gadgets and for employing a few more guys. I’dpoint out the assured results that are sure to accrue, apart from helping thecountry to make strides in ultimately solving the looming problem ofunemployment. There’s always the possibility of a much less productive or afully negative result that could never be ruled out; but I keep telling my bossas well as myself that my dreams are always there as the last resort.
