Cherish your sleep !

It is very famous Maharashtrian trait, to sleep in the afternoons. I have embraced it fully, unconditionally and lovingly, ever since I was small.


There is something special about an afternoon nap. Nap would be a mild word I am using, because I normally knock myself out for a good couple of hours. When I didnt have a mobile phone, would unplug the landline. Now I have a phone, and I have a special profile created, called Sleep Peacefully.

Everything gets turned off, except the phone light. Thats because there is no way to turn it off. Nokia people are u listening ???

It is said, that we Maharashtrians can be going trough a terrible time personally or professionally,or even be suffering from disease, but our afternoon sleep stays unaffected.

There are two ways you can go about seep. You can.... you know, just sleep. Just get into bed and lie down and close your eyes and get up. Simple.

Or you can do it my way. Enjoy your sleep. Relish it. Cherish it. Savour it. Make sure everything is perfect in the room before you lie down. Check that there are no chinks of light coming through any curtains. Check that the cordless is not in your room. Check that your computer speaker volume is mute, to kill the beep of the gmail notifier. Make sure you have changed your phone profile.

And then, you slide down and get your pillows into position, smile and thank God for this wonderful ability of humans to slip away into a subconscious state at will.....

When you are sleeping, no one can make you cry,no one can insult you, hurt you, defeat you, you cant lose, fail an exam, get rejected, have your trust broken, lose your keys, break your phone, say something embarrassing, have an accident, etc etc..

Basically, nothing can go wrong . Unless you fall of the bed that is.
Ouch, that might hurt.
