OF INSOMNIA AND INSOMNIACS (An Anthology)

For us, the Insomniacs, sleep is a sort of necessary evil. In fact at times, we feel that its not just an evil but a little slice of death and we simply can not express how much we loathe it! We are aware that we are trading on a delicate ground, that our failure to sleep might any day cross over into a failure to thrive. Still we remain too attached to the narratives of the day to want to let it go. Wakefulness to us is enchanting, a tableau vivant fabulously embroidered with incidents, plots and characters and we know that so long as one is awake, these narratives remain open, the treads of life continue to spin in more or less limitless combinations.! Another view that some of our friends from the same fraternity, the fraternity of insomniacs, hold is that if we go to sleep, it would be tomorrow, so we decide no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent we are, we can skip on hour more of sleep and live!!
