Early morning ramblings

My wrist watch (a Piaget gifted recently to me by one of my aunts) shows 5.45 A.M. Am sitting in the balcony of my house, (the dawn is breaking, its early morn) and sipping my yet another failed attempt at making coffee, although this time i think i should have paid more attention to the date on the milk carton rather than the amount of coffee powder. And the reason am up so early? I was reading Prisoner of Birth (Jeffery Archer), which i finished by 5.15, then lolled around on the bed for half an hour hoping sleep would come, got tired of waiting, switched on the lap, put some music on, made (read tried) coffee, sat in the balcony, and then finally thought might as well write something down. So basically, i haven't slept all night (noting unusual there though).And now i have been staring at the screen for the past 5 min. , completely at loss as what to write. It's 8 min now. :P

As the moments pass by, i still sit and stare at the screen – completely devoid of thoughts or rather too full of them. Off late i have had difficulty in differentiating between the two. Suddenly my anti-virus notification pops-up, reminding me that my license has expired. All i have to do to get rid of this pop-up is click on "remind me later". And i can't help but wish even life was this simple.

Its 6.20A.M and still no sign of sleep (and am inclined to yet again blame this on the coffee). And since nothing seems to be in my head which i need penned down , i guess i will now go and catch a game or two of DOTA. And hope when i later return and read this post, am not inclined to delete it.

don't blame the coffee, its got more to do with early morning. The new day inevitably brings up reflections of the day that has passed by! It's a refreshing experience, I can tell you that!
