15..14..13.. Time is creeping , I am sleeping , no no not sleeping but feeling sleepy , before clock strikes 3 pm I shall meditate (sleep) a little. I closed my eyes ... Darkness everywhere... I tried to look for some light . But it was terrible dark inside - outside. I moved ahead , cautiously . Fear is lurking inside but I have to be bold. I know I am alone, this room is empty. But I can hear some whispers , are they conspiring against someone? Or are they talking about me? Any time I can be attacked. I will have to keep my eyes wide open. Though it is still dark and I can not see a thing. Jesus! What's this? I saw a white patch in the middle of the air. No its not possible let me see - there is something solid. I touched it , its a wall. A white big patch in the wall , only visible thing in that dark hall. It looked like a corpse covered with shroud. Thank God ! Its not Egypt and there can be no mummies. Now I can see something , my eyes are getting accustomed to the darkness. More white patches ... Oh! How many ! And... Something black is there , I went near , as I was about to touch it , I realized its ... its a Spider . Looked above , spider webs were hanging above my head . I moved ahead and again threw a glance around me. A continuance slow sound of cracking so I again looked above , a very clumsy fan . Now I was not as afraid as before . Thoughts are freely coming to my mind. Is it a Medieval Castle ? Or a Haunted place? Its hot and barren and so dull that I feel more sleepy . I can see many ghosts around me . But they are harmless poor ghosts , some are dozing off like me , some are tensed , some are just lost in some other world. They are all poor sad ghost - one like me!.... My reverie broke as the bell made horrible sound , I opened my eyes , felt I was watching a dream - a dream of haunted place which was so similar to this place - My Examination Hall. Yes , I slept 15 minutes ... Exam time Nightmare and Horror. I just wish they had a fairy kinda place rather than ghost like at least I would see a good romantic dream .
Two hours. Two long. Too much. Yet too less if I sit by a half-closed window and sun rays tickle my eyes play with my hairs and kiss my lips. Too less to thank God for all good he did. Too less to observe the life as it flows. Too less to love each moment as it passes by. We run and run whole life and it is passed in a twinkling of an eye but our soul carries the imprints for eternity. The Soul was an empty vessel when it began its journey but the time allowed Soul to fill itself with pretty flowers, beads, gems and magnificent things. Whole life we keep on fulfilling the needs of body and neglect our soul. Wouldn't it be wonderful to pause for some minutes and give sometime to our Soul. To observe the cycle of universe and feel yourself a part of it. To rise above the petty problems of the day and feel the magnificence of Being. To fly with imagination to the unknown worlds of fairies, kabilas, gypsies, forests, mountains, ocean. To let the...
