Being a normal sleeper

Honestly,I feel like writing so many times,especially when I want a perspective on things.I like doing that,asking for people's opinion,what they think about a certain thing.I often end up getting views and possibilities that I couldn't have thought of,or didn't anyway and that gives a whole new dimension to most things.But the problem with blogging is,the best thoughts(blogworthy at least) come to me just before I am about to sleep.Now,who really has the energy to switch on the laptop and type when you could just forget everything and GO TO SLEEP.Ah!the sweet slumber.

I am such a fan of sleeping,more so,because I have had a reverse sleep cycle since almost three years.How I managed,just don't ask!I tried so hard to get back to normalcy and behave like normal human beings.Nothing worked for me.I would sleep till late noon and then go to sleep early in the morning earning much criticism.And then one fine day(actually,just a few days back) woooopie!(insert a certain Sarabhai here :D) it happened.I felt extremely sleepy around midnight and woke up fresh in the MORNING.Slept at midnight and woke up in the morning.Slept at midnight and woke up in the morning.You see that?It was such a HUGE deal for me.Makes me wonder if things are really in our hands or are we just puppets?I mean,here I was practicing sleep hygiene and what not all the time and couldn't have a normal,socially acceptable circadian rhythm,inducing melatonin production with tryptophan to sleep on time,getting enough sunlight to tell me lazy weird brain that it IS morning now,but BUT.NOTHING.WORKED.(Do I sound like one of those whiny sad people from Telebrands?)And snap!just like that it worked.I have no idea how.I think it was Divine Intervention.Divinity was finally satisfied that I needed an intervention....I so needed it.

Why was I trying so badly all this while?I guess,that's where I was behaving like a human.Trying,not giving up,bringing the Super power into believing how badly this was affecting me and that it was high time,some good happened to my sleep cycle.Not that my circadian rhythm is the only issue.There are more pressing,bigger problems.However,I am just happy at least something worked out for now.Funny,that I was planning to write an entirely different thing and all I wrote about was my sleeping patterns.But hey,I got a post to write :).

Sleeping in the library

Friend:So how's padhai going.
Me:Yewah,okay.What about you?
Friend:Hmmm same here.
(nonchalance everywhere I tell you!)
Me:So what's it like in the Capital(She is preparing in Delhi)?Do people study a lot there?
Friend:Well,one of my friend even sleeps in the libaray!!Doesn't talk to anyone and is completely shut off from the world!
Me:**Dies and  goes to hell**

There was no reason to not believe what she just told me.I for once did not have even an iota of doubt to what she had stated.This was no exaggeration.It's a maniacal frenzy and I want to be mad too!

Good Morning Sunshine

Ever wondered how beautiful sunshine is,even if we stay in a hot country.How it gently caresses you through the curtain while you are asleep past Sunrise and try to keep it away from your face by covering it with a pillow.It still washes the room a cheery yellow.The way Sun rays promise a new day and hopes,how it reminds of all the things to be accomplished.Don't you feel a rush of gladness just to be alive and  have another day at your disposal that you still can look forward to things even if they were incomplete yesterday and life gave you another chance of sorts.

Getting up in the morning can be a sore chore,it takes all your might to push yourself out from the warm and cozy embrace of a blanket and to get ready to face a new day and the challenges it brings not without its share of uncertainty.The way we yawn and stretch our limbs and then again go back to that sweet baby pose and keep snoozing,till something scares us(huh!late for college,office,geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet up).But there is something always calming about mornings(that is if you wake up early ;)) and soaking up in the just right sunshine,leaving you feeling all warm and energized(of course it has a scientific connotation) and preparing you to arm yourself with all your confidence and resources and move ahead.

But which morning ever be complete without a dose of coffee or tea.The hot brewing elixir for most of us.The aroma filling the kitchen mixed with an exquisite warm light while we force ourselves in some sort of yoga poses to get the blood thumping in our lazy bodies while we were busy sleeping!

Perfect days and perfect mornings if you catch them.

For no rhyme or reason of mundane things

When I made this blog I thought I'd be updating it pretty regularly every time I needed to barf verbally after getting thoroughly bored but I guess that isn't going to happen quite a lot solely because right now nothing much seems to be happening.This venture,a product of boredom and monotony is being innocuously run over by the very cause of it's inception.And in a desperate bid to revive it here,I sit and type away furiously!

The weather is almost warm and humid,and like the rest of the country I am still wishing it would rain.Whilst it's not supposed to rain during this shradh period,some more water is much needed for the farmers so their crops wouldn't suffer and us,so we can use it in plenty for consumption viz drinking,bathing and filling our coolers with it the next summer(and if I am lucky enough,I'll be away away away).I remember(not that it has been very long) how we had had an acute shortage of water this summer and we had to bear the heat all the time because there wasn't enough water for our coolers,making us terribly uncomfortable.Thankfully though it rained much better that the last year.Last year water shortage reminded me of my hostel days when we wouldn't get the water supply sometimes even for 3 days at a stretch and we'd be starved and would fetch pales of bucket(felling all "Jilly") from a construction site where a new hostel was being built.


September always has this arid feeling about it.Just before it every thing is wet and green and then suddenly it becomes all sunny.This is time when you take out all your favourite shoes and dry them in the Sun to ward off the fungus if has accumulated in the preceding humid months.One would dry all their woolen clothes too,in anticipation of the coming winter months which also mark the period of major festivities.There is going t be Diwali,Christmas,marriages and New Year-fun times ahead except by the end of all the fun you are dreaded with the up coming exams as well!Tch tch!


No matter how much you try to enjoy if you are a student you'd subconciously think about how much time you are wasting and if you don't enjoy you'd waste your time thinking about it anyways.You'd make plans and time-table and every possible thing to make sure you can have fun and get good grades too.Most times,it works.I think I have been in exactly the same spot year after year ever since I can remember except for the first year when exams were held in July,that was one time when winter was most fun.


The uneasiness that September accompanies is in my opinion and mixture of the bad weather plus knowing how much of an up gradation is needed in the department of hard work,you know like how always it's the last months of preparation that matters while you look longingly at other people who have no exams ahead making merry!

Blog you mean?

Many of you asked me how to go about reading my blog everyday.Well,you could just hop here and do that provided you bookmark this page but then that wouldn't notify you each time I post.So the easier way out would be to SUBSCRIBE to my blog.If you scroll down the page you shall find a "Subscribe To Posts" tab which if you click on shall lead you to your desired reader(in most cases like it is with us-Google) and each time you log in to your account you could just go to the reader or simply click here(you lazy bum,I tell you!).That automatically delivers my new post to you or you could just fill out your e-mail address in the box(come on,you can search that much) and tada!like that you'll receive all my new posts in your inbox(and puhhleeeez,your inboxes will NOT be spammed.I can't keep a track the email ids,it's all Google's business)!

All right,so are we done?Besides that,today being the visarjan yay!no more loud lewd bhajans.This totally rottens name of the religion.We are all for God worshipping but shall strongly(?) protest that which doesn't let us live peacefully.May Lord Ganpati bless us :).Also,what's happening in your life?
