Sleepless in Seattle..

How much I tried not to use this title!! I knew that it would be the most banal and hackneyed expression that one could use when living in Seattle. But, I simply couldn't resist it. So, forgive me for that. (Quick update: In the past 6 non-blogging months of my life, I completed my Masters degree, found myself a job with Microsoft and moved to Seattle.)

So, I'm lying in my bed at 1:53 AM on a Thursday morning (technically) and suddenly it occurs to me to write a blog. And here I am. I know for sure that I should be sleeping now and that I'll regret this decision tomorrow when my alarm goes off at 7:30am. A little voice inside me would say-"Couldnt you have slept a little earlier?? Now, your eyes are red, you are going to be sleepy all day and unproductive at work. So, why dont you just sleep for 5 more minutes and then I'll wake you up myself. Dont worry about resetting the alarm, its only 5 minutes, I will wake you up".

And the foolish me will agree and say "Only 5 minutes, okay? Not a minute more". After a extended 5 minute period that happened to last for almost an hour, I would jump out of the bed, curse myself and rush to the bathroom, skip my morning coffee (these days its back to bournvita) and reach work at little after 9:00AM. As I drive to work, I would promise myself that I will be early to bed and early to rise the next day. Nowadays, even I dont believe that when I say it to myself :))

Lotsa things to blog about. Will be back here again soon..


PS: BTW, is anyone still visiting this page?? Guess I'll find out soon :))

that was from ponnu. I didnt know there was a correlation between the number of hours one sleeps and his/her productiveness. OK, kidding. Atleast for me, it doesnt make a difference.

bharath,
before you start thinking of me as a 'real' director, he's the full truth.. the movie that vjanand was talking abt is a camcorder recording of our friends doing all silly things.. we decided to give it a title and make it a video..thereby making it a movie..

srini,
what u say is true.. it shouldnt matter..especially when the person works as bad when is awake as when he is asleep :))
