Weird dreams and some retro

               After a very hectic week came the day I was expecting for last 3 months, I am going to my home and I am writing this sitting at the waiting lounge in the airport. Need to mention in this last week, I dreamt twice of missing my flight home. At the first instance I was late and by the time I reached the gate of airport, the plane was locked and ready to fly. The second time was stranger. Hanging with my work colleague, I reached the airport late, only to know that the flight was cancelled because there was a fire in the plane. So ridiculous are these dreams.

               Left with nothing to do, other than staring at other people waiting with me for the flight, some childhood memories just passed through. How joining the medical field gave me some new light on some misinterpreted facts of past.

 

                There was a physical education teacher in our class when I was nine. She was a well-built lady with more than average height. The catching feature was her left arm was bulkier than the other. She used to take us to the ground and teach us warm up exercises and Physical training drills. I and my friends believed that her arm is bulkier due to the extra exercise she does with that arm.  I still remember those days when it used to rain outside, we had to sit inside the class room pondering at her big arm. May be memories are getting fader, or I am adding extra tones to it, but she used to look dull and may be depressed.

                A year or later she disappeared. I had already moved to Upper primary and we had another Physical education teacher, although her absence on PT ground used to strike me. Some more years later, the news waved through the school that she passed away. She was suffering from cancer. Now looking back, I guess she must have already been operated for breast cancer years back and was having lymphedema which we misinterpreted as a muscular arm.
