The cravings...Life at 4am

We heard all about it. We can imagine how Michael Jackson danced, or how it must have been to attend Woodstock. However, seeing and only seeing is believing. I welcome you to a peek into the world of cravings - deep deep cravings.

It was a rather cold night, and thermostat was set at 21 degrees Centigrade. Two people lay sleeping covered in a blanket on a comfortable queen size futon mattress. Deep in their sleep, engrossed in their individual dreams, they planned to peacefully let the night go by. Except that there was a third one. A little flame of life, working hard all through the night on .. ummm.. cell division. With each added cell emerged a new personality and with it, a new desire, a new expression and well, a new craving. Most cravings of this advanced life form are expressed through Mommy. She gets up, possessed and simply ASKS.

So, around 4 am, there grew new pang and it was expressed. It went something like this.

"hmmm....."
Snore. Snore. Snore.
"hmmm....hmmmm"
Snore. Snore. Snore.
"heeeey... listen.. hmmmmm"
Sleepy voice says "Yeah.. u okay?"
"Hmmmm"
"What happened?"
"I feel like having matar pulao with potato, dalchini, and chatni."
"Right now?"
"Yes."

The picture below to what she wanted to eat at 4 am on a peaceful night. You try and understand.
