No really, make it go away.

Make what go away? The sleep.
In fact, it's not the sleep that needs to go away, it's more of internet in general that I need to move away from.

I shouldn't be on the net. But, here I am.
I shouldn't be writing a blog post. But, here I am.

I feel a burning desire to post something. To say something. I don't get a feeling like that often these days..

Random thoughts coming and going. But then this happens more often than I think it does. My mind is a chaos. Its a mayhem up there. Sometimes there is so much going on that I actually cannot pick one thought and mull over it.It gets that difficult. There is always that one thought that manages to distract me..

A lot of thoughts running in my head as I type this very line. The battery is low. I just got a notification. That was the most recent thought. The next one? Err.. It isn't a very comforting one. I just woke up. At 12, at night. Yes, I am wierd like that. I wouldn't say its a good thing. But then, it is what it is.. I should be studying. No really, I should be. But something takes me away from the thought of opening the black and white photocopied notes or even looking at them rather. I miss the days where I would open a book just to feel the glossy paper, see the colors, read about "how it all began". Those days are gone mostly. Now, it's pretty much- do this, do that and done. No journey to travel, just a destination to reach. Sad, but true.

I look up. My neck is a little cranky (from sleeping in the wrong posture. Yes, I am lazy like that) I am staring at the lady in the painting on the wall. Eiffel Tower is in the background. Her hair are swaying to the winds(  I would like to think that they are) She isn't looking up. She is looking down. Not in dismay though. She is just looking down. Posing in a rather lady-like manner, I would say. A very subtle one.  A long red dress( the soothing one) she is wearing. Very comfortable in her skin. Not too proud but at the same time she is not shy either...

...

My yoga mat is staring at me. Either because it's telling me that I should be packing it away or I should be sitting on it and making use of it. I don't think it likes being treated as a "show-piece". But then you might argue with me that it doesn't feel anything; it's a thing. I would disapprove.

...

I am hungry. The Kellogs Box is standing on my table, fancily. I love how I am being so candid about doing things at the wrong time. Almost as if I am trying to show off. I think I am. About what? I wish I knew.

...

Met somebody today. Someone I know very little but still she happens to be there. A part of my life; in a very small way. She mentioned about how she spent the last week visiting a friend in Kerala. She went to attend her wedding. She also mentioned that she went with her boyfriend and spent time with him. She was a little shy to say that but nevertheless she did. I earned her trust, I guess. She went on to mention the little details of her trip. She almost chuckled at times but she was excited..There were times she would get a little conscious to say it out loud. She made sure no one else heard it straight. She didn't want to hide it but I don't think it was something she wanted to make public.
It made me sad; her story. Here was a woman (a working woman) who was doing what she wanted to. Pretty independent and fearless that way. And yet she was bound. That pinched me. I don't blame her but let me say no more.

...

Looking outside the window, I see no stars. I see no moon. :(  I like to look at them. I can hear the faint synonymous sound of crickets. There is a slight breeze. The wind chime feels the presence of the winds too but doesn't feel the need to chime just as yet. There is a silence in the room yet it isn't quiet..

.. A song is playing.


... The path that I'm walkin', I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay...
