It is not everyday that you discover something new about yourself. A trait that you seem to possess and yet dont believe it when you realize you have it in you. Well, i just found out that I AM a morning person after all. When i say that, it doesn't mean i've never seen the rising sun. As a matter of fact, the last two years of my school days were spent waking up at wee hours and riding my bicycle to classes (Read Tutions!) that started that early.
I am just saying that i never seemed to appreciate the wonderful feeling one gets when one wakes up early morning knowing that you dont have to hop on your vehicle to attend classes or to catch a bus to get to your office or do any pre-written task you procrastinated yesterday. Its a feeling where you know your day is SO new. At the cost of sounding very poetic, its like opening a blank page. A page that can be as rotten as yesterday or as intresting as today. Its for you to decide. I have been whining almost half of last year saying i was jobless (quite literally!) and totally empty all the time. I eventually succumbed to the cravings of my lazy self that i realised only today that its been almost 6 or 7 months since i woke up before eight in the morning. Okay, i know that eight for most of us IS early morning. But am talking 'really' early.
You see, when you catch a glimpse of the fresh daylight with a tinge of rain sprinkled graciously on your window and the beautiful greens splashing a genuine smile on you as you watch them from your balcony with a hot cup of tea, You know what am talking about.(By the way, i did not delibrately paint that dreamy set to make it appealing to the reader, sometimes it only takes a second look to see a picture like that which is right in front of your eyes). The whole day opens upon you. You don't remember a thing about yesterday and you are SO not bothered about tommorrow. In fact, you are not even planning anything for today. You just wait for it to unravel itself and pledge that you will make it gooood. For once in a long period of torturing time , i realised that its not too bad to be me. I mean, sure, i don't know when i'll finally get to start my career, i don't know if even after i start it, some guy from the top suddenly decides to mail his bunch of board memebers a five page letter saying the company is basically doomed, i don't know anything. But this one day, this morning, this one moment of peace can refresh you so much than F5 could ever do to our windows in a long time!

At last,
A post so different from anything you have written so far.
By reading your previous articles, we generally get the impression that you are just someone who is nothing more than a critic who knows to write.... Now we realize you do give attention to detail.
Nice one Dpka,
but getting up so "early" in the morning knowing not wat to do the the rest of the day will urge me more to wrap myself tighter and get a couple of hours extra sleep!!
good one.. but honestly 8 o clock is still early morning.. and i ll always agree that appreciating life is one of the best ways of feeling happy and content.. so BINGO!
Very well written.
It's actually quite sad that one starts to appreciate life only when there's nothing else left to appreciate. I guess its true with all of us.
As for getting up (really) early, I can't help it...its just my biological clock !!!
I pretty well knw that you will never ever regret for getting up (really) late. Try something else like 'having fun sleeping from 3 am in the morning' !!
(by the way, I liked ur finishing line) :)
kudos...
I feel its good to wake up early and experience the fresh air. Its refreshes everyone psychologically ..But that "waking up" part is a bit tough for me:)
Very Good Deeps...At last you proved in your blog that you are an IT professional.I think you understood......
