Last week , i was on this bus with my family , - a tour . The best thing about bust travel , when you dont have your headphones on , is the variety of characters , you could see . I always enjoy my travel to college in bus . Its quite an interesting thing - overhearing ! . You think its wrong ? - I dont .
I am basically a sound sleeper . A full meal and a nice cool breeze is enough to put me to sleep . That day , i just woke up in the bus . Maybe its a small jolt which is quite a common thing in our Indian roads . I just couldn't sleep after that . As one would do , i peeked through the window and found the tress and buildings running back . You know , we people just dont realize that kind of beauty . No wonder , why poets write about it . The moon , was like chasing me . It was kinda nice and funny that i was giggling . But , as the bus turned to another direction , i missed it .
Frustrated , I turned around , and found that almost everyone was sound asleep , snoring . A man , tall , dark , well-built , in his mid-40's and with that big mush of his , looked pretty scary when he first entered the bus , but now , he was there curled in his seat , hands by his head , along the window - sleeping , with a smile on his face . Guess he was in a nice dream . Interested in the way he was sleeping like a child , i started to observe others as well .
There was this guy , thin and dark , really funny looking , with his huge wife - Huge , i mean really huge , she would take two seats for her , but he managed to squeeze himself in . He was such a big complainer . He started yelling at the conductor that the Push-back wasn't working properly and asked him to kill the lights and the music . He was such a nuisance . But his wife was calm , controlling him from bursting out . Looks are deceptive indeed . Now , he looked even more funny , he was turned to a side with his legs over the seat and holding his wife's hands , so tightly , like holding a teddy-bear and he was drooling . Funny - guy .
There were others , mouths wide open , curled , smiling , holding something tight and some snoring so loud . A guy , around 20 , by the side of my seat , suddenly woke up and looked at me , his eyes , red , waking up from a deep sleep . I was just startled . He then said , please dont tell my mom ...and went on blabbering for a minute in some other worldly language and went back to his sleep . I just couldnt stop from laughing , but managed to keep it low . My brother woke up and looked at me shocked , "What's gotten into you ? Stop laughing and freaking everyone out . Freak !" and rolled to other side . I then somehow managed to get out from that hilarious moment and went back to staring at the trees . I didnt know when i fell asleep .
The next morning was even more funny , to see everyone getting into their day-time character .
There is no "Adult-like Sleep" . Is There ????

It's always nice to observe people and some times it turns out to be real funny! Try watching people when they're having food without talking at a marriage. They eat like someone is gonna steal the food! But the best is when they're sleeping like you wrote about!
