Sleeping Beauty

Hi
   Remember when we were kids ( I still am one ) we used to listen to stories... Few from Grandmothers and few in our school text book... Few as bedtime stories... And there was a story of a beautiful princess having sleep disorder... not insomnia of course... she was laden with a curse till she find real love.... Amazing story....
   But I am not talking about that Sleeping Beauty... I will like to share my experience when i was traveling from Amravati ( Maharashtra ) to Ahmedabad in a train... It was a very nice journey... A long one cuz the train was late... 2 hrs... and reached Ahmedabad 4 n half hours late... But the whole point is not about the complains of trains getting late and the driver sleeping off... hehehehe... It was a night journey... and I was not able to sleep as i had slept during the day after the lunch at a Rajasthani family's golden jubilee anniversary of a old couple... so u can imagine how was the food...
   Well so there i was not able to sleep... So i went and opened the door of my bogey and was standing at the door feeling the beautiful wind caressing me... Out there was a sky with so so many stars... Rare sight for a city dweller... and the entire creation was.... Just Sleeping... Well whatever i was able to see was sleeping... and then i realized that how Beautiful the sleeping nature was looking... each and every tree, the ground, the grass, the stones everything was just sleeping peacefully... And I was like " Guys this is the real Sleeping Beauty!!! " 
   There were very few lights which according to me were street lights... and few of the cars and trucks light on the highway which was coming across the path of the Train... Rest everything was just simply Sleeping... Beautifully Sleeping... This according to me is the Real Sleeping Beauty!!! Isn't it???
  Try this when you are traveling in a train and couldn't sleep... Just stare out of the window (to be on a safer side) and take a look at the resting Nature... I know that the nature is alive in the night also... but forget Logic and just experience the Sleeping Beauty...
