Dream Diary Gawan edition

So I am walking down the street, and I see three weretigers in a jail cell, with three policemen. One of them is fair and Israeli looking, and talks with the Israeli accent. Another one is docile and looks Nordic. The third one is has the appearance of complexion of someone from the subcontinent, has dark streaming hair. His name is Gawan. 

The policemen are all smiling pandus rocking staches, posing for the cameras. Now the Israeli tiger has canine teeth, and keeps nipping at his handler, who has missing pieces of flesh on his face and limbs. The pandu says this one is hungry, it is time to feed him, when the tiger takes another big bit, tearing the skin from his cheek, exposing the flesh below. The pandu calms the weretiger down, who are all in their human form, and goes away to get meat to feed him. 

That is when the asian weretiger escapes. He goes towards the right. The cops warn us not to run. We run. We run by getting into a rickshaw. The weretiger spots us, turns around, and easily starts catching up to the speeding rickshw. 



Close enough

I get very scared, and he actually catches us and mauls us. He is asked the next day by the press why he mauled innocent people. He gives a very simple answer, "I was not fed enough breakfast, and wanted to eat." 

Then there is a whole movie about Gawan. They show a map of how Gawan the weretiger was born in Kerala, with a token having a man with a tiger's face. This scene is something like the panning across the map of India as shown in Rings of Power, as well as the spinning coin (token here) settling on the map of India at the opening of Lagaan. 

Gawan is from Kerala, has been raised by tigers after the family of three tigers, a mother and two kids, a son and a daughter, killed his parents. The mother tiger has just given birth, is exhausted, and looks for easy meal in the villages. It is like Mowgli, but instead of the wolves, the tiger only adopts the baby. Gawan drinks milk from the mother tiger, fighting two other baby tigers to get to the teat. As Gawan grows up, his brother and sister tiger shoo him away from his home by teaming up, as revenge for stealing their milk, so he has to go far away. His travels takes him in close contact with human settlements. 


Here, the tiger becomes a man eater, but instead of preying on the women and children, it preys only on the strongest and meanest. These are typically the bullies and baddies in society, and people start celebrating the tiger as a hero instead of being scared of him. But, the police catch him for his crimes, and manage to reintegrate him into society. 

Then, on the internet, a team of Comic Book creators announce that they will be coming out with a board game, called Spark and that they will be giving out samples at Korum Mall and Majiwada Signal. The colour theme is bright orange and sky blue. I tell people about it, excitedly as I see them giving out the free samples from the window of the bus, while passing them. After getting home, I drive to where they are, and get into a spectacular accident. That is when I wake up.
