It's 12 AM. Alarm set for 7.
Big day tomorrow, a lot to get done.
Two research papers lying on the couch, one assignment.
Time to wrap up for a good night's sleep.
Lights out, eyes shut.
Tick-tock, it's 1 o'clock.
What's that in the hall? Is that a light flickering?
No it is not. It's the laptop screen in the other room going on and off.
Oh! I think I have left mine running too.
But no, not now, eyes shut.
It's 2 AM. Alarm set for 7.
That song I heard from the movie today.
My flatmate and I singing along, a merry evening spent together after quite long.
There was something catchy about the tune.
No! That's enough. Shut!
Where is the clock? It's 3 AM??
'Three WhatsApp Notifications' - do I check or not?
Maybe it is from my pal in London, I wonder what she is up to on a Sunday evening.
But no, I need to sleep now.
Big day tomorrow- 4 hours to go!
Three hours. The alarm shall go out.
Remember my teacher from first grade, yelling at me for sleeping late?
First grade was like ages ago! Now all like a dream! A sleepless dream!
Wow! Have I really come this far?
Tick-tock, just end the self-talk!
5 AM.
1 Mississippi; 2 Mississippi; 3 Mississippi and four.
People hovering in my thoughts, the various battles fought.
The adventures with Homies, the fun with my Roomie, friends lost, the various lines crossed.
Time for life-reflection now? I think NOT!
6 AM, I hear the birds chirp awake.
I see the silver-lining of the clouds, literally.
The city's first metro runs across, now never been awake for this one before!
Should I go for a morning jog?
Oh who am I kidding? Keep staring at the door.
7 AM. The alarm went out.
Monday it is, big day, a long week ahead.
2 Research papers lying on the couch, one assignment completely undone.
I wonder what I should start with; tick-tock, 7 on the clock,
My eyes shut all at once and I happily doze off...
