From the Blurb:
I couldn’t sleep at all last night. There was no reason for it. But then again, many things happen in this world without any reason. I waited until daylight broke and then tried to sleep. Instantly, I was overcome with sleep. I don’t know how long I slept. I woke up from a dream.

In my dream, I saw my father shaking me awake. He was saying, "Himu, Himu, get up! Quickly get up! There’s an earthquake. The earth is trembling!" Half-asleep, I said, "Ah, why are you bothering me?" My father replied in a deep voice, "There’s nothing as fascinating as a natural disaster. Very interesting. You need to keep your eyes and ears open at times like this. And here you are, lying down like a fool."
"Let me sleep, Father."
"You cannot sleep. Great individuals must conquer everything—hunger, thirst, sleep. Sleep is a form of death. Ordinary people sleep—extraordinary ones stay awake."
