I need more sleep!!

Given below is a test...take it. Link to the site and a more legible format is given below:
A score of 0-9 in the above test says that you are getting normal sleep. Above that it means you need more sleep.
I took the test with all honesty. The result (13) said I needed more sleep. Showing tremendous agility for a sleep deprived mind, the following thoughts rushed through.
  • I am sleep deprived
  • My home time is optimally allocated and I cannot reduce my awake time at home
  • In other words, I am sleeping as much as I could at home, but it is not enough
  • I need to get some sleep while not at home i.e at work.
  • To be healthy and productive I need to start sleeping in office

And to those of you who are snickering and saying that I maybe doing that already, well….even if that were true, I am certainly not doing it enough.

The above is not to trivialise a serious issue. But for many of us, even a thirty-minute shut-eye in office can do wonders for our productivity and health.

But then any proposal to allow slumber time in office will mostlikely not be taken seriously. Can someone/some organisation please take the lead?

Call it Rejuvenation Time (or some such fancy term) and let employees sleep off at work ....flexi timing to ensure the whole floor is not snoring at the same time....we do not want the short power-nap to be disturbed.

The catholic spirit.

“In a bizarre act, two churches here have banned a group from conducting yoga classes, saying the ancient practice was allegedly "un-Christian". See full report. I could not agree more. The churches have got it right. Certainly yoga is un-Christian . It originates in India and is closely associated with a religion or rather a group of religions with similar origins collectively referred to as Hinduism (the name of the religion itself is one given by foreigners referring more to a geographical location than a philosophy). Christianity , unlike Hinduism is a missionary religion. Their missionaries have, over centuries, spread the word of the Lord far and wide and ofcourse have done a few mean things along the way. However, the contribution of Christianity to the progress of civilisation as we know it today is undeniable. Yet it is a little surprising that these churches should feel threatened by yoga, which, even if one links it to Hinduism is pretty harmless as Hinduism is ...

Anil Kapoor's 24 ....slow, boring and .... Stupid....

Well Jack Baeur need not worry. Anil Kapoor's Jai Singh cannot hold a candle to the American. Slicker than usual production values and outdoor shots do not give you 24! Have watched the first two episodes.....it is no different from Bollywood style action mixed with sentiments. ....with a little more polish. The action is laboured, the sequences sometime verge on the comical. ( he actually gets a confession from his boss by injecting him with some lethal poison which finally is revealed as glucose...  In a gun fight in a cinema hall.....playing hide and seek with shooters,  Kapoor with Anupam Kher in a forgettable cameo, walk in front of the fully lit screen..asking to be shot..and thank fully Kher does get shot!..) The dialogues are predictable and like in most Bollywood movies....too much of it.  The least they could have done was a smart script.  But maybe I am being unfair, I cannot compare a serial to a movie. Finally that is what Mr Kapoor has done,...

Five signs that you are growing old!!

I vividly remember a conversation I had with one of my long time friends when I was 27 years old. Me -“Imagine J, it seems like we were in school in just a few years back, and now we are 27” J – “True. Somehow 27 does not seem so old, but 30….man that will really mean death!!” Well, much water has flown since that conversation….30 has come and gone and it has not yet been a disaster. Yet, the other day when I spent sometime in café Coffee Day with some colleagues from a former employer, I could not but feel old looking at the milieu around me. So here’s a truly depressing game you may want to play….. list 5 things that you have noticed of late that tells you that you are growing old ….do not mention your age, it is for the reader to guess , within a range of 5 years ( eg : 15-20, 21-25, 26-30 years etc). No matter which age range you are in, the truth is, you are growing older….can you guess my age from the list below:- My top five: 1. You go to café Coffee Day and feel out of plac...
