Sleep away your troubles !!

 As I looked at the night sky full of heavy rain clouds , my mind drifted to another night sky ..at another age ... Seems like an era away ... Summer nights at my grandparents home at Rajasthan ..the bungalow with stonewalled  fences and brick walls covered in deep coloured bougainvillea   ... When we kids would sleep in the courtyard ... The charpoys lined next to each other ,covered with the white linen ... The childish sprinkling of fistfuls of  water on the beds in the hope of cooling the summer heat ... The barking dogs somewhere in the colony ..the periodic "tic toc " of the lathi of the night watchman doing his rounds ... The crickets clicking away in the shrubs ... The occasional fireflies on the nearby bushes ... And star gazing and lulling away to sleep ... The desert just happens to magnify and multiply the stars .. A million times over ... And as you gaze at them and realise the minuscule nature of yourself in this vast universe .. All troubles melt away !!.. All worries vanish and an assurance from the universe overtakes you.. that all will be well .. It has to .... And you have to just accept yourself and do what you have to ...Just as there are million stars twinkling away ... Sleep well my friends .. And if you have any troubles bothering the sleepy heads ..think of the million stars out there .. Twinkling away ... Without a worry .. Watching over you .. Whispering " All will be well " ...Tomorrow the sun rises again .. Bringing with it .. New hopes .. New Beginings .. New You !!
