Sleep

Language sometimes gets in the way of communication.

I did a weired thing last ting which ended today. On 22nd I had bought a book 'Blink', by Malcolm Gladwell, and decided to gift it to a friend who celebrated his 20th birthday today. But the 'not so good' thing I did was that I read the book myself before I gave it to him today. I couldn't resist. I thought he is a good friend of mine and he wouldn't mind taking as a gift a copy that has already been read. I told him and everything was fine.

I met him at Magrib at his house and I left him after Ishaan. I returned home just before 10 pm. Today I woke up at 9:30 am. I had to wish him. When I had called him early morning at 12:03 am, he was sleeping and he didn't receive the call. So I had to wake up at 9:30 am just to wish him. I had tea and slept again only to wake up at 12:30 pm. It was my mother who was asking me to have a meal and I heeded. I took short naps later during the day.

I had initially planned to go to my friend's house early morning just after Fajar. But I couldn't finish reading the book till then. I had 80 more pages to read and I finished them in the afternoon. The book was entertaining but I suppose it has one of those things I should not take seriously and allow me to get effected by it. The bottom line for the book: it was amazing.

Tomorrow I will be leaving for Genpact at 11:30 am. The cab will pick me up at 11:35 am from Tolichowki and I have to be there by 1 pm. I called up my friend's brother and also the transport division's help desk to confirm this. I find the transport service very interesting and impressive. Its all so organized.

I am finding it real difficult to manage sleep. I had once long back attended a program on personality development and among the several things I was taught, sleep management was missing. I couldn't find anything related to managing to sleep even in several books I have read on self-help. If it is a too small thing to be written and taught, then I am in a big problem.
