Ungodly hours

Agent Name: Vissu a.k.a Devil a.k.a idle brat a.k.a newbie blogger
Time: 2:00 A.M Sunday night.
Status :Caught on the crossroads of ' I'm not sleepy' and ' OMG, It's Monday tomorrow...I need to get up early again!!!'



Not that I'm not used to these graveyard shifts, but off lately haven't seen the clock hands in this position. Trust me, the last thing you would want your employer to remember about you is that you are a drowsy dullard. And I definitely can't afford that within my first six months, at least. I've been in this situation when my exam invigilator had to wake me up during my engineering first year exam. FYI, it was Engineering Drawing. Now, you tell me, what would you have done when you had to appear for and exam at 9 in the morning after your sisters wedding at 3 in the night? A typical Indian marriage,toil for a week before and after, brother of the bride- the last person to receive but first to render services would be phrases i would pick to defend myself. Well, luckily for me , that was the last exam and had a great time with the marriage crowd later. But couldn't avoid the lecturer giving me sly looks now and then during my four years.

35 blog views in a single day. I'm not much of this numbers man but,I would definitely consider that as a above average performance on my behalf. There were compliments, comments and suggestions flowing in from all directions asking me to do this..don't do that, try this and stuff. I'm really glad that I've got some friends to give me honest feedback. Many said that what i wrote was too good for a first timer and were expecting more like this. Now, this really increases my responsibility in the form of expectations which i am starting to enjoy. Ideas about what to write in my next article have been swarming in my mind all the time. I don't know if you can use the term 'adrenaline rush' for this, but if you can, I'd like to use it. All through the weekend i was rattling my brain for the next article, what to write? I was literally framing my sentences in my mind, erasing them, replacing them. Literally i was running a MS Word editor in my mind. I'm also glad that people could see a different 'me'. This blogger 'me' was always shadowed by the lazy 'me'. It's payback time and revenge, my friends, is a bitch. In McDonald's way 'I'm Loving It!!!'
I was thinking why didn't I take up writing earlier? I feel like i have a lot to write. Hopefully this josh continues all through my blogging episode.

Agent Name: Didn't change.
Time: 2:47 A.M Sunday night.

well....nice to see that ur back into ur old way of nocturnal activity...i could not somehow digest the notion that u can sleep early...remember one thing my dear friend...old habits die hard....

Alpine Path said...

Lol! I'm facing the same too. Why oh why are Mondays there? I'd prefer a three day weekend(knowing me, I would even prefer a five day weekend).:D Btw, it would be great if you replied to the comments. I sure would love to know what you think about the comments.

@ raja
lol!!! I have to agree my friend..i had to go through some tough times to take down the bitter truth that i can no longer feel the nocturnal bliss but get into the daily clockwork process.
Old habits..die hard..with a vengeance..these sleepless nights are its way of striking the revenge blow!

Alpine Path said...

@vissu, thanks! I'd prefer the identity to be unknown. That way, you'd have an impartial view of the topic that I write on and the experience would be richer! Sure, I'd love to have your comments on my posts.

@ alpine path

Alpine Path said...

Vasu said...

Rey Vissu,
You wrote an intelligent article (unconsciously :) ). I have nothing to comment (coz there is nothing in it) and I could go through the end of it. Good work. Keep them coming.

@ vasu

Forgive me for i have sinned writing an intelligent article(?),though unconsciously. I take an oath in front of my fellow bloggers never ever to commit such a crime!
