Sleepless nights

-
Closed my eyes and tried to sleep,
Cause the night's too late to overthink!
The perfect moon, sky glittering with stars, 
I wonder what's keeping me up so long?

Silence, I adore the most, 
But now it feels like a noise!
Although calm as I could be, 
why am I so restless I wish I hadn't been?

Trying hard to fall asleep,
Distracting my mind from thoughts that keep showing,
What if..? why not..? why me..?
Can the night answer any?

Again I try, to get some sleep,
Eyes cooperate, but my mind doesn't seem to get convinced,
Trying to find answers, mind still wandering,
But what if the sleepless night is just another dream?

It so happened that I saw a car a few metres ahead of me being slowed down by something, and as I reached closer, I realised it was an injured pigeon which was trying to take off but fell on the ground every time it tried. The car swerved in an attempt to avoid running over the poor little injured bird and drove away.  As I rode nearer, it was my turn. I decided to slow down and take a quick look. But the bird had other plans on it's mind. It tried to fly again and landed right infront of my tyre, making me hit those breaks and stop immediately!  The bird just wouldn't move from that spot. I t

The Much- Awaited Day! 18th June 1946 (A short-story)

-
( In the village of Assolna, June 1946) As the rooster crows at 7a.m, Maria screams at the top of her voice, “It’s already 10a.m. Are you going to sleep the entire day? Oh Flavia? Can you hear me or are you pretending to be asleep? I guess I’ll have to let your brother, Tony accompany me to Margao”.   Little Flavia, about 8 years of age is woken up by her mother’s constant blackmailing words. Her eyes wide open, she throws the bedsheet aside and runs to the front door to find out if they had really left.   Stunned and shocked Flavia cannot believe her eyes. Her mother had really left without her. She thinks to herself, “How can they do this to me? I’ve been waiting for this day since forever and all I get is abandonment?” Her wide sparkling eyes begin to shrink in disappointment and tears roll down her pink cheeks as she runs back to her bed sobbing.   By this time Maria walks along with her son Tony and reaches the village bazaar. There she meets Pedro, the poder who asks ex

(Image source:https://www.teamly.com/blog/procrastination-benefits/) Procrastinator !  A term I truly identify with. For example, it took me three long years to get this blog post up. I've been telling myself to write something worthwhile. But guess what, I might as well do it tomorrow!  Been convincing myself to get my hands on something crafty or artistic, coz ofcourse I enjoy it (or maybe I used to, atleast). But let's begin tomorrow, right?  The other day I heard an old familiar voice in the corner of my bedroom and I figured it was my 11years old guitar, begging to be strummed. I did fulfill it's wish. Just took me a couple of weeks.  I am known for procrastinating. It's a personality trait I possess. No matter what the reason, for not having completed some task, everyone already concludes that I might have had procrastinated to do it later and then forgotten about it. Everyone already assumes, even if not the case. That's how bad being a procrastinator feels l
