Smoke on d Watuhh !!

Well...have been screwing up my lungs for quite sometime now; lying to people and having the not-so-occasional smoke every now and then. There have been many questions asked and none answered even though they often intrigued me, made me scratch my head a couple of times... eventually ending in the nonchalant dissing.
The questions were genuine though:

1. Why do u smoke?
(Ans. ummmm)
2. Don't you know a single smoke takes out 11 minutes of ur life?
(Ans. Yes i do. Your point being?)
3. What fun is it to smoke when it has no flavour?
(Ans. ummm...)
Fellow smokers would try and answer- flatter their egos in the process and end up justifying the whole thing. But seriously...what's the point?

No genuine answers...only the go-away's and the quit bothering me's. Millions of promises made and broken in a jiffy- and it takes me 4 years to realise that I don't know why I wield the flaming stick in my hand all the time.
So from this point of time... I QUIT !! (even though for the umpteenth time...but still a try)
I just pray that this attempt would help save my lungs...though i don't know if they are fine as of this moment.

Insomnia !!

Statutory Warning: The bullcrap written below comes from a 'I haven't slept for the past 36 hours' version of me. Read it at your own risk.

An MBA degree screws up one's body clock bigtime. You just can't sleep nights. Even if you have nothing to do, you will end up reading about the trash cans in Moldova, the latest underwear line by Versace or download stuff you'll never end up watching. Hence, the invention of numerous ways of sleeping in class.
  • The blatant "I-don't-give-a-rat's-ass" sleeper: This one will sleep with the notebook as his pillow...mouth open....eventually waking up in his own pool of saliva.
  • The Poser: This one still has an iota of shame left. He sleeps with his head tilted as if looking at his right foot and holds a pen in his hand...gradually drifting off to slumberland. Pretty ingenious, must say.
  • The statuette: This one looks heavenwards, the face resting on the elbow support-everything locked in position-simply flawless. This one competes closely with the blatant sleeper in the "screw the world, I need my sleep" attitude but does provide an effective shut eye, the side effect being a backache.
  • The Disguise sleeper: This involves caps and really thick glasses. A slight tilt of the head and poof..no one notices that you're zonked. You almost never get caught at all.
  • The "One": My idol...only gifted ones can pull it off. I really envy these chaps. This one involes sleeping with the eyes open - SIMPLY LEGENDARY. To me, these guys are like superheroes.

Unless the body gives up and you end up falling on your neighbour, these are tried and tested methods of catching up on your prized slumber in class.

Well...here goes my third attempt at starting a blog. Lets just hope this brainchild doesn't meet its premature demise like its sorry predecessors. The conception was delayed by months simply because of the excess of lazy ass cells in my body. Anyhow, here is another attempt -my first post.
