Shhhh..I hate it...

From the time I can remember I have been a people person, I have had people around me all the time. I have been talking all the time. This has gotten me into a lot of trouble during my school days but my mom knew I wouldn't change. I love being in a crowd I don't feel lost I feel its right. One reason I love my city Mumbai because its crowded. Looking at the different people around you and the fact that you will not find two individuals who would be the same fascinates me. I love crowded theaters crowded streets my college my school my family everything that involved people I love it. When I sat down to think about how this would effect or rather how has this been effecting my life I realized that with the crowd the people came the noise, and I got used to the noise.
Who would love the sound of people yelling, traffic honking, kids crying, loud television I do. I say that I love it but if you think about it a little more you would easily say that I have got used to it, its become a habit. This habit was fine it I was in Mumbai. I didn't really care nor did I think about it so much because it was always there around me, the real challenge was when I moved to the US and got a job and I had to live alone. Oh My God !!! that's all I can say..the most difficult task of my lie at this point was to get used to being alone, not having people around me and therefor live in a place where there is complete silence that's to the fact that I live in Norwalk, Ohio where silence dwells to such an extent that I cannot take a shower at night cause I might disturb my neighbor with the NOISE. This complete transition from a ultra loud crowded place to a silent solitary unit took away the most essential need of mankind that is my SLEEP. Most people you might know around you wouldn't sleep with a lot of noise around but I would be a one of a kind that would not get sleep if the place is silent.
Now weather its a problem or its my habit or I am crazy but sleeping in silents is not my cup of tea. So when you need noise to sleep and you don't get it what did I do .....I did not sleep. It took me a couple of moths to figure out why I was not sleeping, I thought my excitement was the reason that fact that I though to much was a reason I blamed coffee, work, alcohol everything I could but it didn't make sense but at last I concluded that it was silent and I couldn't bare it. Now the next question is why don't I like silence maybe because I start thinking of things I would avoid other wise or I feel alone or simply I'm not used to it even better its just easier to just avoid silence and believe that I don't like it.
To end my confusion I don't know if I have got my long term solution but I definitely got my short term one ...To get a good night Sleep I keep my Television switched on :)
