Simple challenge; the sleepless night
Do we ever imagine
within realm of on us, we’re also counted to be a challenge to one self? Challenges are not always that comes by road,
that usually fear us, make nervous and at whole that need a usual force to pass
through the deepest darkness to find the source of light.
On 26th of March 2014, skipping my classes, at
the early evening, I went with my friends to Sharda University to play an open
soccer tournament as invited by one of our brother and that very time, we don’t
really have any plans to hold night, but somehow due to some circumstances, we
were left with no choices and have to spend a night over our brother’s flat.
The very night,
everything happened so fast except a sleep.
No sooner had we reach the flat from the college than we had early
dinner unlike in our place. And shortly
after dinner, there wasn't anything to do, so we all friend’s were engaged in
playing cards for an hour and then went off to bed.
The very night, we make ourselves to go to bed early as
there wasn't anything to do and playing card repeatedly was also boring, and
moreover we were exhausted but our sleep was like a siesta; where after lightly
closing my eyes, the single note music constantly disturb in my ear and
moreover sucking blood everywhere over the body alarms constantly disturbing
sleep. I tried rolling over bed turning right and left, looking up and facing
down, covering up with blanket and sometimes trying to remove and of all like
summer rain fall, the thoughts came rushing taking everywhere, even to those
imaginations that I have never been too and moreover the feeling sleeping at
other place is never homely.
After too much struggling, I quit trying and forcing myself
to sleep, and then rewind back to a each says spoken an hour ago after a dinner
when we got a little spare time, where I questioned three of them; HOW DO YOU
FEEL AND WHAT DO YOU FEEL THE MOST HESITANT BEING ON OTHER’S HOUSE? And realize
that each of them were giving a rightful views and says on the most common
experience of everyone and I knew that every one face the same difficulties
trying to adapt oneself and to me that was a simple challenge. You know, to get
homely sleep at new place has been always hardest for me and it’s a simple
challenge.
Later after five to ten minutes, while I was just trying to
focus on thinking’s I heard a silent walking footsteps, as the room was so quiet
(except the creaking sound of fan) and you know, what surprises the most at
that time was, my friend kipchu who usually sleep at right time, who easily get
doze off to sleep and who wake up on time, struggling to sleep like me coming
over us, (my another friend chimi and me as we’re sleeping on one bed) asking
for company and the very funniest thing was kipchu said that “ I knew you too
would have been also struggling like me trying to catch sleep” and yup no sooner, we sneaked out silently
outside to the terrace to talk and spend time there until sleepiness over ride
us, despite the hesitant. And after not even an hour we came back and then
again went to bed, but the same situation, I wasn't really getting a sleep, the
thoughts too start rushing as I start to sleep, the feeling never made me feel
homely and additionally the mosquitoes that keep guarding whole night never
made me sleep.
By then it was almost midnight, but still there was no
sleepiness. I ask chimi to let us go
back to terrace again to talk, share
stories and come back at around 2 am hoping by that time, we would get sleep. But
he didn't listen and force himself to get to sleep, while kipchu and me sneaked
out again back to terrace and even climb to the most top attic to enjoy the beauty
of night, the beauty of sky and to cherish the magic of silence.
We sat over the walls, talked and shared each other about
the life, struggles, duty and mostly about the love relations and this took us
too 4 am and then we went back to room and slept.
That very night was the longest night for the fight of sleep
for both of us and that’s where I came to realize, challenges are just in and around the corner
and even in realm of within us.
I guess, to catch sleep at some where new place like we sleep in home would be a simple challenge for many, though it might not be that crazy like us.

I also thought of writing about that longest night but would not have been able to do it the way you could.The last time we got out to talk was the best talk I ever had.I don't know if it was because we chose a good topic to discuss but I had fun except for the mosquitoes.
ReplyDeletenot much to say, it would be interesting too to read if u write. cause' our feeling would probably come in different styles and much of different ways, and indeed that was a best talk for me too, though the longest waking hour struggling for sleep.
