Weird Ways....!!

That day, I met an old friend of mine outside. As usual the conversation started with his complaining about how his girlfriend always starts arguments and gives him daily headache. He constantly tries to make her happy but she thwarts it by starting another argument. I tried to give my stupid advices. I have always reasoned that he should have a life of his own. And try to keep this things in a limit. Then we discussed about other things. Actually we all are confused about our priorities.

There was this girl standing nearby for quite sometime constantly talking animatedly and laughing into her phone. For as long as we stood, she was talking continuously for all the time, maybe 15 minutes or so. Now, we are not eavesdropper but she had us all ears because she was so loud. Talking certainly to her boyfriend. She disconnected after a long time but not before asking into the phone, " By the way, whats your name? ". We both couldn't control our laughter.

Late Night Blues

I have been sleeping at 2.00 am daily. Not just nowadays. This has been a habit for me and I happen to repeat it almost daily. Sleep deprivation is what I practiced from my college days. Sometimes studying. Sometimes doing nothing. I am not an exception. All my friends also have this habit of sleeping late. Because whenever I call anyone after 1 or 2 in the night, most of the calls are answered.

I wonder why we all are sacrificing our sleep even when there are no exams? Maybe we have so many things to do that the whole day is not sufficient. Even if it is sufficient we tend to keep most of the things for the night. Sleep has become secondary and we dont want to miss the valuable time instead. Either studying or on the PC or on aour beloved cellphones. With a cup of coffee to assist.

The thing we forget is that sleep deprivation may not have immediate effects. But it sure has its hazards in the long run. Headache through the day, mild acidity, reduced appetite, compulsive behavior are some of the side effects. And I am sure most of us go through all this. Let us not become insomniac zombie and allot 7-8 hrs of daily sleep everyday. The earlier, the better.

In my case, I sleep at 2 am, wake up at 10. Then again sleep at 2-3 hrs in the afternoon to offset the compensation. But anyways, studying or completing a novel is pushed to the more peaceful time of the late night. I am still trying to be normal.
