20th Feb’10


Over the years, I’ve learnt one thing that besides making friends with people, you can also make friends with lots of other things like loneliness & insomnia. But insomnia can be a prime pain at times. Actually it’s the headaches that can drive one nuts. Although I’ve had insomnia ever since I was 14…in spite of that, I’m not yet used to these damn headaches, but I’m quite used to the never-ending jokes on them. However, there is one plus point – you have plenty of time to study. And I did make the most of it while I was a student. Besides that, you have all the time in the world to watch movies. And yes I did take advantage of the fact when others were asleep & I was widely awake. It was but natural.


Anyhow, I’m writing on it, cause I do miss studying sometimes & these days I don’t get to sleep for even a second. When I try to sleep, my cats start bullying the weak ones & naturally it’s impossible for me to rest. I have been reading too much on animal abuse these days & I don’t understand how can people be so intolerant & cruel. Although my mom & sister are sick of these stories now & they want me to talk about humans. I’m sure my few readers too must have been bored of those depressing stories. So I thought of writing this.


I once read that worrying about insomnia causes far more damage than sleeplessness. Moreover, one thing’s for sure – no one ever dies of insomnia, cause I’m always widely awake. In fact I have also wasted years of my life trying to figure out as to what is bothering me & why can’t I sleep. Actually I don’t like the answer, so I’m not going to share it. Nevertheless, I often think about studying further. That’s one thing I like about dreams. You can have them even when you’re awake.
