Sleepy Moments

I just finished my lunch and feeling very sleepy tat I am unable to concentrate in my work. The screen looks black and white with distorted figures. Loads of unfinished high priority tasks and I am not able to work an anything. Being new to this project everything seems to be so weird and complex. That being said, I thought of writing something about it. No, not about my project but about this sleepiness J

            Normally I hate sleeping during day time as that would affect my peaceful night sleep. But avoiding sleep especially in the day times is a painful experience. And I hope you would agree with me.

            When I think about it, I remember a comment from my LKG teacher, she used to say “vaani child (she was an Anglo) always sleeps in the class but if I ask any question, she would promptly answer…”” ha haa...i donno if that was true or not. Well I love her and trust her ;).  Just thinking what I used to do when I felt sleepy during school days. Especially after lunch, we would have silent hour (study hour?), either we talk or play board games. If I am sleepy, I would simply open a book and pretend studying b ut I would hide my eyes and sleep.

            There were times that we should study under a teacher’s supervision. Those were terrible moments. I would simply mumble out some words from the text book and repeat the same for god-knew-how-long. Later I found a way to hide from teacher noticing me sleeping in the class. That is taking notes. I used to just write down whatever the teacher says. I remember scoring more marks in a class test and teacher mentioned that I got more marks because of the notes I took. :D :D  I m just imagining what would her reaction if she got to know my real intention.

            My UG college days were terrible le whenever I think about these after lunch algebra classes. I just wonder how I ever survived those days. One advantage was you got to write down a lot as it was all about axis and numbers. I remember the more I was sleepy, the more I wrote down. Some times when I look at those problems, it would be like Greek & Latin to me. I had been even caught off guard during one my such sessions and it was like waking up from a bad nightmare, the only difference was that my nightmare started only after I woke up J

            My PG days were very different as there would be hardly any classes and if I feel sleepy then I had the courage to simply leave the class and get back to my hostel. But by the time I reach my room, my sleep would be gone. Gone were those days  J J.

            Now I have the privilege of taking power naps when ever I wanted to and life has become so easy that we can act as we wish. Still I appreciate those moments that now contributed a lot to my this post J J

Castle in the Sky...

Recently I happened to watch a scene from Shankar’s movie where the Robot helps the heroine in the exam hall. I was reminded of such an imaginary character that was invented by myself and my niece during one of the summer holidays. I think we were 3^rd standard or so. I don’t remember how this thought came to us. But we spent almost the entire summer talking about the robot – which would help us in bringing our favorite chocolates, dresses, plays movies, helps to complete our home works and even in exam hall, if we forget , it would boast our memories. Our robot friend used to be constantly in our talk and in every act.

It is so funny to think about it now. Now wonder the fantasy world has become so popular and commercialized. And I guess it is such childhood fantasies later become a reality. Imaginations are part of our human life without which life can never be satisfied. It is something we all want in our lives. An imaginary character which would be so perfect, exactly like the one we want to be. No not that I have any sort of disorder. But don’t you ever, even once have the thought: How good it would be if I have someone with these qualities in my life? Or it is nice to have a friend like that character etc. I am talking about such moments here.

 Now I am sitting here and writing about it and my niece residing far away not even having time to speak. We both grew so much apart but still it gives me a warm feeling when I think about all those perfect fantasy moments.
