Early to Rise....
Among my friends and colleagues, its a well know fact that I can never ever get up early in the morning.. even if my life depended on it!! Oh by the way even 8 AM qualifies as "very early" by my standard. Me being at office by 10 AM itself is considered an amazing event!! ..
but today i broke all odds (to be frank even surprised myself!!) and was up and about by 6 AM (yes u read it right.. no its not a typo)!!!! Why did i do that?!.. well the reason to that would violate certain company policies.. so for now lets just focuz on this once in a blue moon occasion.
Had set up my faithful music system to wake me up by 6 AM.. and it is indeed a spiritual experience to be woken up by devotional songs and chants.. and a discovery to know that bangalore's only private FM channel played devotional songs in the morning!! (that wud be reason enuff to stay put in bed for sm more time!!) .. by abt 20 mins had made myself a cuppa coffee (with no paper to read..sigh!! c people r not meant to get up early!!!) and was all set to leave for work n work out (not in that order though!!)
Bangalore these days is notorious for traffic jams n snarls.. thot leaving early wud save me frm that.. but no!!.. i got myself stuck behind a Formula X (where X is 1 greater than the largest possible number) race between two fully loaded trucks...man I honked my brains out and after abt 10 mins one of the "racers" decided to give up and I manage to forge ahead.. (Remind me again.. why is getting up early good?!!)
Finally managed to reach work (in one piece!!) and after a work out, break fast, meeting, coffee, yet another meeting here I am waiting for my lunch partners!! Oh boy .. i can hear my stomach grumbling and growling (in abt 10 mins it wud be audible to the entire floor!!).. this getting up early is hard work.. wonder how people manage to do that on a daily basis!!... i bow to such folks!!..
neways to get rid of early morning blues a few tips.. (found it on a site and they did come handy today)..

| 1 Take action at night to shorten your morning preparation time so that you can set the alarm for 15 minutes later than usual. Wash your hair, pack lunches, lay out your outfit or pack your briefcase at night. |
| | |
| 2. | Hop out of bed the moment you wake up. Lingering in that downy comforter will only draw out the agony. |
| | |
| 3. | End your shower with a jolt of cold water to tear yourself out of your grogginess. Or exercise in the morning to get your blood pumping and to release those feel-good endorphins. |
| | |
| 4. | Get out in the sunlight. Bright light tells your body that it is indeed the morning and helps reset your internal clock. |
| | |
| 5. | Drink coffee or another caffeine beverage. Although it's not healthy to drink caffeine to the point of addiction, caffeine, when used in moderation, can give your early mornings that much-needed oomph and alertness. |

What Am I?!
Way back in primary school, we were taught a lesson abt the story of the bat. Neither a complete bird nor a complete animal, it cud not be classified into either.. I am now facing a similar identity crisis!! What am I?!..I am a keralite.. proud to be one at that.. but still I am not a hardcore keralite.. most of my mallu frens think that away... what abt the rest?!!.. for them I am a perfect mallu(think of irony!!)..
I majored in CS.. so am I a geek?!!.. no way.. thats what my classmates wud say.. but the rest?!!.. well just the other way!!
Am I an introvert or an extrovert?!.. am i the sporty type or the bookish?! am i modern or traditional?!.. am i this or that?!!
well what am i?!.. am i what they call non-conformist?! one who does not wish to be labelled?!.. but isnt that itself an oxy moron?!
in the end is it good not being labelled?!.. the answer i am sure is out there.. mocking @ me.. someday i will know..
