Yawn Yawn....Doze!

Technology makes life simple. In fact, very simple.You see, It relieved me of the pain of having dinner (So I am thinking in duress), of brushing my teeth in the night,of sleeping, and as of now, I am very optimistic about not having to brush my teeth in the morning too!!
Simply because God is yet not forward-compatible with technology to create mortals defying hunger, I am munching a VEG pizza ( Take note , "VEG" pizza, let me admit, not eating NON-VEG this month is the secret to getting a wonderful spouse , or so mom says!!), a bottle of coke and some garlic bread. As brunch is to late morning meal, what is it to a late-night, rather too early ( Isn’t 12.30 a.m. very much eligible for that?) morning meal? For all the English vocabulary I possess and a drowsy brain that I am bearing, all I could gather to term that “meal” is an early-breakfast (Literally, it did break my fast of quite some hours). At office, another two mortals and myself are holding ourselves captive to achieve something not even thought of in the past nor would be in the future. However, whatever be the outcome of our plight, I did discover quite some facts that answered so many questions lingering in my mind over a period of time .Hold on if you started thinking that I got philosophical and got the purpose of my existence…blah blah blah..

Actually, I always wondered how and when my desk used to be tidied everyday, because even when I left office at 10.30 p.m. or later, my desk would be as dirty as I would leave it and miraculously it would just be picture perfect on days I walked in as early as 7.00 a.m too. I always was surprised and curious to know which angel would appear to clear my desk. Yeah, today, the suspense ended. A bunch of house-keeping guys walked into the wing, exactly at the strike of 12 to clear all the mess on the desks and put things in place. Although, aliens for sure we were, I don’t know if they were more right in considering me one or I was in considering them so, at that time.

The lights do get switched off in the cubicles, which are once in a while, devoid of their owners. Every dog, I mean, cubicle has some rare day ,rather night , all for itself!

The bland VEG pizza does taste utterly delicious without the sauce and chilli flakes too , at 1.00 am !!

The Hosur Road did look more or less traffic-free at 2.30 am when I peeped out of the window of our lab!

More than anything else, when folks said that one realizes the importance of something only when it is missed , it never used to strike me as much. Seriously, miss a night’s sleep and you will know what it feels like!!
