The magic of late night conversations
Late night conversations with my wife don't happen often, but they always seem to find me when I need them most. Like this week, when I was recovering from a bad fever and a throat infection. Or, like last year, on the night of our 5th wedding anniversary.
We sat on the porch of a 100-year-old tea bungalow in Wayanad. The weather was perfect. Our daughter was asleep. We looked at calming night skies, and talked about random things. We’ve had many such conversations in the past that I could think about and smile.
There's something special about talking late at night. It doesn't matter who it's with—friends, coworkers, or people you've just met—late night conversations just feel different.
Maybe our minds are always on guard during the day, and they can finally relax at night, especially when we feel safe. That's probably why my best conversations always happen late. We let our guard down and really open up.
A good late night conversation feels natural. It doesn’t have a beginning or an end. It just happens. It feels natural, comforting, and effortless - like dipping your feet in a gentle stream. You know you've been sitting long enough, but the water just feels too good to leave.
In a world that's always buzzing, finding quiet moments for deep conversations has become rare. These late-night chats are our sanctuary, where we understand the simple yet profound power of human connection. Like how the stars shine brightest in the dark, it's in these quiet moments that our connections feel the strongest.
