Some sleepless nights wake you up from a long slumber. Sounds contradictory, I know it does but if we think upon it and analyse our own experiences, this might be true. It surely is for me & writing this writeup about it sure,y makes the thought more crude. Insomnia is a condition which none of us would cherish. Likewise, last night was my turn to be hit by this disease, disease, as I call it. Sick of watching same old stuff on tv, listening to same old music, reading the same old book, didn't wanted to do any of these...coz insomnia isn't just irritating rather full of monotony too. In such a condition what can you do...eat a lot..just lay down on bed staring at the ceiling..listening to the dogs barking outside..wondering about stupid things & attracting more reasons for being awake..or playing with your gadgets. In today's time our cell phones and our tablets are our favourite gadgets. I mean it's even impossible to think life without them. Just think how would we able to sit idle doing nothing if there were no gadgets. Cell phones are the best time killers, or rather time wasters. But when insomnia strikes, they are our saviour. I also picked up my cell phone & bang on..Facebook, what's app, all on. But to my dismay even those things couldn't hold me for long, so I just thot of going through my mails..old mails..remembering the old times. Wow, i came across so many old memories that I had almost completely forgotten about. They are special, even today. But weird that I would have never remembered them if i had not gone through them. I was so glad I read those mails, I was actually reliving old moments. Then I came across a mail from someone unknown who had commented on my previous blogs. 'OMG I used to write' that was like a realisation, long forgotten. I know it sounds stupid but there are times when you need to be reminded of the things you already know of. You just need a reminder, maybe coz we have become so tech savvy that we depend on gadgets for our routine reminders, may be. But writing was something I was natural at( & still am). I never had to think about what to write. But today I had to remind myself of My Self. My own blog gave me inspiration to write again. When I had started writing, I had never thought that one day, I will inspire my self. I just wrote, people read & commented & their comments inspired me to write more. But today I want to say it again, life is actually inspiring. You never know what might inspire you, coz the qualities are innate but we just need to feel inspired, & for inspiration we need awareness. Awareness of who we are, who we were & who we want to be. Similarly, in life also when in blues, we turn to friends & what do they do, they remind us of who we are. How strong we have been throughout, how we fought with our difficulties in past & we get inspired again by our own deeds. Life surely is inspiring and we should never forget who we are, how strong we have been and inspire ourselves time n again so that we can go on! At times it's important to look back, but when looking back,don't look back on your sufferings, look back on the way you fought those and came out as a warrior. Look back and fight ahead. My sleeplessness surely woke me up from a long slumber. I hope this inspiration that led me to write this, is passed on to all of you & you too get inspired . You never know there would be some old mail or message or picture or note kept somewhere which might just remind you of who you are! Be Yourself.. Happy Living
