जाणता राजा

I dreamt that Tushar Joshi is giving a lecture at Sinhgad fort. The topic: Conquest of Sinhgad by Tanaji Malusare. Tushar has chosen to present the narrative as Ramdas Swami. 

Interestingly, the fort is like what it might have looked at the time of Shivaji.

The first day of session goes off well, attended by hundreds of people, including Adinath Mangeshkar. 

On the second and last day of session, just after the lecture concludes, we see an impending storm around the fort. Everyone is told to evacuate the fort, but I linger on. When the storm hits, I realize it's too late. 

And just then... I see a person from the pages of History right next to me. He says, चल, जगदीश्वर मंदीरात जाऊ. 

And from there, standing by His side, I observe the tandav of Shiva... Rains lash the mountains, lightening strikes at random, and soon waterfalls emerge everywhere. 

And then, it's sunlight again.
