Sleepless in Seattle. No. In Pune.

2.49 AM
I have been trying to sleep for more than an hour now, but without success. I guess this is the aftermath of spending most of your day on the bed. And while you try to sleep, the mind sways in all directions, in all corners, across geographies...

Unfortunately, my life is getting busier by the day. The more I want to make it simple, the more complicated it becomes.
And this reminds me of the status message Wansh had put on facebook the other day
"Every few months I think that life has stabilized, things have gone boring, no more screw ups no more weird happenings... maybe i've grown up now... God smiles at me, shows a middle finger and says NO"
ha ha... every time I read this, it brings a smile on my face, may be coz I can relate to it. I don't know. "The Pursuit of Happiness".
I am still not sleepy, not even close to it I should say. My 6-string Washburn is lying in front of me, or should I rather call it a 5-string leaning against the wall, hoping somebody would pick it up. The 6th string broke few weeks back, and I have made no efforts to get it replaced. May be coz it gives me a readymade excuse of not playing it.

I can't say that I am going to hit the sack now, coz I'm already inside the sack but it's not helping.
A Paulo Coelho book lies half-open on my table, but it's 3:07, and it's a big and busy day tomorrow and I need sleep. Though it is a wednesday, but it is giving me blues like a Monday morning thanks to the republic day holiday we had today.

P.S.: I didn't like the new "mile sur mera tumhara" video. So many film celebrities, and very few national icons. Wish they had made it better.
But as Wansh says, every time you wish for something, God comes, smiles, shows a middle-finger and says "No".
Good night...
