Youtube achcha hai

 Traveling in the last seat - berth of a bus is liking being swung in a cradle. By a drunk and angry mom. There are no Indian drunk and angry moms - we would like believe. But still the bus ride was exactly like that. 

Twists and turns and twists and turns. Luckily there were no jumps - unlike older buses. May be a better suspension system. 

The good old insomniac with some weird form of social anxiety traveling in such a seat. Ah, what a hell. 

It is not that I was unprepared. I did download two episodes of funny Netflix show - I had charged both the phone and tablet to 100%. I must have some how enabled location services - phone battery was dying quite fast. 

I tried watching those Netflix episodes - one hour was spent. I tried solving a simple 6X6 sudoku. Another 10 minutes was spent. 

Neend na mujhako aaye - dil mera ghabaraye. Funny I didn't even remember that song then. 

Finally I decided to take refuge of much detested youtube. I also added 1 GB of extra data so that I will have enough data for hailing an uber. Put the phone to charge and started watching some standup comedy by some Indian dude. Was it funny? Was it unwatched? I am not sure. 

What I am sure is I could finally fall asleep for a few hours. 

This happens at home too. When I am awake at 3 and unable to fall back asleep - I try all possible tricks. Reciting rama - rama - shiva -shiva. Counting down from 100. Nothing seems to work. Except for some stupid show in OTT or youtube. 

At that time I am not thinking about brain rot, nor about my worsening hearing problems due to earpods. My one and only aim is to fall asleep.
