* Based on a true story.
After a refreshing long sleep in the afternoon, i am left with no sleep in the night. I try to count sheep 1,2,3,4,5.... when i hear slow muffled sound chuck-chuck-chuck.. Its the wall clock. In the solace of quiet night, clock makes itself heard. I concentrate, trying to ignore the sound when i hear a pattern chuck tick-chuck tick-chuck tick .. Its the other wall clock, trying to rhyme with the first one, relentlessly ticking away while the world is sleeping.
I am disturbed, so i wake up and remove both the clocks and keep them in some distant room. Peace at last, i feel, when someone else in the room, tries to makes its presence felt. tik tik tik tik- tiki tik - tik tik- tiki tik- tik tik.. The ceiling fan, which unstoppingly keeps rotating tries to make me aware of its presence.
I turn off the fan.. Total silence, I feel when the gushing wind goes boom boom boom thru the window.
I keep the pillow on my ear, and place my head over my arm and try to sleep. Pin drop silence. Dhakdhak - dhak dhak- dhak dhak, there goes my pulse rate. Its the only sound of the world now, that i cant stop and I vow, never to sleep long in afternoon again.
