Hunger Pangs

Good morning friends,

Do you know something about hunger pangs?

Yes, yesterday, I faced such a thing.

To briefly tell about this...

There are various kinds of hunger pangs...

Hungry for food.

Hungry for the property.

Hungry for Love.

Hungry for money.

Hungry for Looks.

Hungry for sex.

Hungry for the job.

Hungry for knowledge.

Hungry for status.....

Now, you understood, what I am going to tell you about.

Yesterday, after office, no need to say, I was damn tired, came home at around 6.00 pm. At the office, an event was in the morning session. The office was working as usual afternoon. Hectic in fact.

As soon as I came home, got freshened up. Drank water. Opened mobile to see all your comments on the status I had put yesterday. My god, plenty of comments. Apart from those, there was a huge number of comments on my poems. Reading one by one, I was totally lost in my present world that, I forgot to cook evenly. There were lovely messages, tempting to answer all of them. It took me a whole 4 hrs to browse through the comments. I was again damn tired. My stomach was warning of hunger pangs. But, the body was not cooperating to get up and go to the kitchen you know? I was caught in a dilemma. I thought, let me relax for some time and then cook. So, switched off the mobile, when the time indicated was around 9.30 pm.

Closed my eyes and just relaxed. Thoughts started crawling through my mind slowly, one by one hesitatingly. I tried to push them aside. But, they were consistently moving in. Finally, I gave up avoiding them. They occupied fully. One after the other, messing up my inner core brain, again I was lost in dreams.

My hunger pangs vanished. I was again paralysed to the bed and pillow. Still! No movements. Calm! Peaceful. No pain in the abdomen. No pain in limbs. No throbbing of a heartbeat. Just cool, relaxing sleep mode .

It was as though I went into another world. Nobody to disturb. Nobody to irritate. So beautifully slept.

Now, just now, I suddenly got up. I looked at myself. My yesterday's silk saree was still on me. All my wearings were still there. I had gone to bed without changing my dress. There was so much involvement in mobile that, I did not bother to do all this. Sometimes, it's a botheration. Sometimes, it's an enjoyment. One must keep aside all other routine work and enjoy the moment. It may not come again. Is it not? Life is to experience those moments. Time never turns back. Gone is gone.

So...Hunger pangs may vary from person to person. Some may have severe hunger pang for sleep itself. Thank God, that never troubled me. Yes, at times, without dinner, I faced such a hunger pang. I used to get mad for not getting sleep. Not knowing what to do, I used to switch on the TV, take out a book to read, or start cleaning the wardrobes. If anybody from the neighbourhood peeps into my window, one may wonder, is she-devil or what, working at midnight, putting all lights ON.

Yes, exactly, such things might have happened to you also. My kids used to shout at me, for making creepy noises at night, obviously disturbing.

Hunger pangs for sex too sometimes bother you know. Though it's a biological need, age puts a bar on the mind. With grown-up children and hectic schedules, these pangs are pushed aside. At times, the subconscious works aloud. So, these pangs start lingering. One should try to analyse self needs. There is a need for self-healing. The heart wants its biological commitments too. That's every soul's wish. Let the souls fulfil their pangs.

Thank you for reading patiently friends...

Good day.
