Chanda Mama

It was a cold winter night and i was sleeping holding my blanket tight. It Must have beeen around 3 or 4 A.M. Suddenly there was a strike on my legs and I woke up only to find my room mate lying next to me ,holding a high resolution digital camera in his hands! He was taking pictures of the moon through my bedroom window. I turned around and peeped through the window to have a glance of the Moon. It was majestic in it's appearance and looked brighter than i had ever seen it before. It was a spectacle which still remains fresh in my eyes. Still i turned to my room mate and carelessly said "what's wrong with you? why don't you sleep?" and went back to sleep. He was calm and and chose not to reply to this. I woke up in the morning and gave this incident a thought. I couldn't understand why was hiding myself(though i had liked the spectacle) and as to why i reacted the way i did? Was it my laziness or was it my desire for material comforts that i chose sleep to nature? I don't know.

It's been 2 weeks since then and now every day morning i look at the magnificient moon, aprreciate it's splendor and say to myself how stupid i was that night!
