Half past midnight, and "Andheri Raaton Me... Sunsaan Raaho Par..."the angry young man or the bollywoodish maseeha, gets replaced with a gloomy, sleepless loner, who inspired by his nocturnal instincts, endlessly browses the internet, desperately searching for something to keep him occupied..A couple of days at home, lights out at midnight and Kazaam, eyes widening, senses dilating, and I wake up in bollywoodish style (Ramsay brother's phenomenon to be precise) ..restless, as if someone's ringing an alarm unto my restless brain trapped inside a tired frame.. Well, I was at home and somehow although I feel at home all day, I feel otherwise on weary haunting nights!
The inner voice speaks out mockingly - "You're way too spoilt Kid!"And I shrug inevitably, unable to find a reason not to!
Now, i'm back to the usual routine, "Yawn, Home, Work, Home, Zzzzz" and its the other way around this time. I feel at home, when I endlessly browse the internet and find ways to keep me occupied, untill the wasted brain cells give up and compel me to retire..
The internet is not always the instrument of rejuvenation amidst sleepless nights, many others come in the list of "Things to do when bored!"Here I come up with a few...
"Dial random numbers, and say 'Hi I am Raju (or Mahalingam) calling from ICICI and I have a great plan for you!'and enjoy the soothing, considerate words that follow afterwards!"
- PS: Preferably call your friends to prevent the risk of getting summoned to the court!
"Go up to the balcony and count the stars, number of flats in the apartment opposite to yours, number of flats with lights on, flats with lights off, number of sticks in the broom, and the intensity increases exponentially!"
"Think of your favourite vehicle, Car, Bike anything and pretend to be it.. make resembling noises.. you can go vroom vrooom, bhooooooo, dat dat dat datatat dat dat.. use your imagination to create magic!"
"Focus on a tennis ball and try to enlarge it, keeps you occupied for the longest interval of time!"
"Try to remember the number of people you met today, if you succeed in remembering a lot of people treat yourself with a glass of milk or juice!"
"Try to touch your nose with your tongue, if you succeed in doing it and in a short time, try it the other way!" - My personal record 0 out of 100!
"Try to pull out the bed-sheet from under your sleeping friendwithout waking him up! (My advice, try it slowly and wait for him to roll over..)"
"Try the eye exercises, both eyes left, both eyes right, one eye left, one eye right..do your permutations!" - Pssst.. easiest both eyes center..
"Try doing mimicry of bollywood actorsin bollywood style, use references of the famous stars like the "Waaaao" of Saif Ali Khan or the "Aaaaeeeee" of Sunil Shetty, or the 'Rishte me to hum tumhaare baap lagte hai...Haaaaiiii!'or you could also try to mimic your cruel boss, or that annoying colleague, or the tyrant professor and attain that inner satisfaction!!"
