Life sometimes is very difficult… like the end of junior school!
I don’t know how it was for you, but things were very unclear to me.
Some felt it was just another stupid graduation… but, many knew it was time to move on – wake up to reality and walk your own different ways.
So did I choose – choose to take that other route; yes without the ones who walked with me, but with my own shadow – the image, encompassing the emotions I withheld.
On other hand… some people were hard to say good bye to – like my English teacher (how can I ever forget her cuddling little ways of explaining things); like that one friend, without whom life was impossible; like those only few people who really knew you – whom we called pals :)
I wondered if good time were all gone – whether they ever meant anything!
“Its not the end of the world” – I used to repeat that like the rosary, to make things a little more comfortable; watching myself, helpless, as the days passed by towards the final days of graduation!
As you would have already guessed by now - I didn’t feel like graduating; I just felt like walking my park; just like the times… times when life was simple…. When life was new – like the beginning of junior school J
The world I knew was changing - I was witnessing the passing of an era – an era from physical education to more serious matters like sports, gals and algebra…
As I stood there at the end of one journey and beginning of another, I made a bond, to never forget my times at junior school; to never forget the friends that I made; to never forget the moments – the moments (as I realize now) that I really lived!
Guys, I still remember you; I still remember those times – times, when it didn’t matter wot our parents did or where we came from!
Have a good life folks!
Cheers

Insomnia – Do we understand our sleep?
It’s 2 AM on a Sunday morning - and I’m still awake.
For some reason, I always find it difficult to sleep over a Sunday night. There are many a time I go without sleep on Sunday night and hit the Monday morning work schedule.
Well, I knew we loose sleep on anxiety and stress! But then wots a Sunday got to do with that? Am I suffering from subconscious anxiety or some cool terminologies as such?
On my search, I stumbled upon another cool word – insomnia…
Although I’ve used this word many a times in my vast experiments with vocabulary, I never really understood wot it meant. It never occurred to me that going through a simple sleepless night - is being insomniac…
Now it was my turn to understand the insomniac struggle i was suffering from. Am I a transient insomniac – sleepless for a short while, for a day or two? OR am I suffering from chronic insomnia – effecting sleeplessness over months.
As I continued on my search, I learned more about sleep – like this very useful information on a humans sleep pattern:
Sleep Pattern – Repetitive cycles of 90 minutes; including non rapid eye moment of 80 minutes and rapid eye moment of 10 minutes.
If we are to wake in between a cycle, the sting of a bad night is visible. And that explain why sometimes I have a long sleep, but wake up to a bad start; while sometimes I might just sleep for 3 hours and feel really good.
I’m soooo gonna try this tonight and wake after 3 good hours of sleep and see how my day looks tomorrow.
Shall continue on my tour to understanding sleep patterns towards a healthy week ahead -
Good day/night folks
Cheers

The Trip long awaited
As I was sitting on my couch wondering where to start my blog from – it struck me; wot better than the trip that I am currently on…
Yes, after a year and half, the much awaited trip came alive – just like that, in a weeks time; I was confirmed of a travel – travel to the land of opportunities (not that I had any less opportunities around in b’lore) :)
I believe it was around the first week of July when I was told the need of my visit to our Cleveland office on a high profile project. Projects that would bring good times!
For sure I felt important… I mean, common, how many does get a chance to travel abroad and manage a team of people who are way more experienced and skilled than you? Well, I was this lucky guy – like a dream come true…
It wasn’t the easiest of pull offs if we look at it. With an urge to travel and fulfill this high visibility project, I was ready to undergo all kinds of trauma… and one among them was getting my passport renewed.
Getting passport renewed – in as short as 10 working days seemed unthinkable when I started the process on the 13th of July. But then, things have its own ways of untangling. Something mysterious around you starts working in strange ways; and that’s when you know about events waiting to happen!
Its raining here in Cleveland today… and all I get to do for now is sip on some sweet wine and watch a movie or so… so that’s wot I’m gonna do!
Good day – Cheers!
