Time with the night!
Night with that coffee and a hobby!Credits: Aakriti Ghai
By- Aakriti Ghai
It was 2 at night and I was sipping on a mid- night coffee, I turned off the lights, turned down the music playing aloud in my earphones and sat on my bed in my silence. The sound of night bugs and crickets with the fragrance of coffee surrounded filling in the space with the most peaceful and present atmosphere. This made me realise that how many times we just forget to be present in the moment and forget that sometimes listening to natural noises makes us calm.
With hustle of the day and living up-to those uncared-for impressions, just the unwinding is a perfect partner which is required. Surviving in this world where competition is everything, we do need to tell ourselves to sometimes take a break and let all the peace sink in. A question which a lot of elders ask is why kids these days do not sleep early and spend nights waking up?! The answer may be wary for all but one of the core reasons is the calmness that moonlight brings with itself. When that perfectly brewed coffee surrounds us, that is when one starts to fall in love with the night. As we grow up, even our relationship with those late hours seems to change or evolve. Some nights just simply pass by running and catching up with the deadline, while some nights just tell us the story to embrace oneself with that unheard and unseen relaxation.
Even though the dark sky seemed scary when little, now it is just the journey of that moon and those stars keeping us company like none other.
