ARISE!!!

Oy!Wake up!!

That was to the blog.

Yes it has been awhile...but the sad lack of a comp and net connection demands that this sad lack of updates be overlooked.
This post talks about one of my favorite subjects- waking up.
I always feel it's a rather mean thing to put a being to bed when it doesn't want to[say, around 8pm( infernal I know)]-and just when it begins to fall asleep, wake it up with admonitions or the staccato rhythms of the detestable alarm clock. And all for what? A measly day in a class room where most of the lecturers simply encourage one to resume ones disturbed sleep.

A nocturnal animal, such as myself, gets the full brunt of such an evil system. I mean- we're supposed to work when we are most alert- not when our greatest inclination is to journey to la-la land. And just as we finally wake completely-alert and tingling with energy- the lights are turned off! The irony! My hostel employs a power saving system where the light in the rooms is cut at 10(which means 9 in most cases).Floundering in the dark, we night lovers are forced back into a stupor for lack of anything else to do- unless of course one braves the vampiring hordes of mosquitoes waiting in the tube light-lit corridors. And believe me- unless you are desperate or courting anemia, such a choice is BAD.

So you see- that's why we are so full of apathy. It's a conspiracy! The evil forces are plotting to keep us, the youth,shrouded in a dazed doze. We're just too sleepy to be bothered if the world is being destroyed by the higher-ups. Well, now that we have a excuse, let's go back to sleep?

lol! Crazybugga-you are welcome to try it out.It is a good place- i've known worse:D But the light off system is rather sad... you don't realise until you are left in the dark in the middle of a great book.

Jeez! Your favourite subject is "Waking Up"? Which college are you in anyway? And to think that I was stuck with diodes and amplifiers as subjects in class!

Santhosh- 'tis obvious you are a novice to the workings of my blog. Such a question wouldn't arise otherwise. And no- waking up is my least favorite subject, which is why i write about it so much... you know.. the whole bring-abt-a-change-by-nagging thing.:D
