The last three days have been the laziest days since a long time. Not that i am active otherwise! It’s jus’ that, I have been thinking of doing a lot of things but then, i don’t feel like doing them! Here are a Few Things that i have been Thinking Of Doing, But Haven’t Done Yet!

I have been Thinking of studying for APICS… even though that needs a lot of self-motivation.

I have been Thinking of doin’ my DBMS Assignment… even though i have to go search for the A4 Sheets.

I have been Thinking of Shaving… even though i would feel like a Skinned Chicken for a week.

I have been Thinking of getting a Hair Cut… even though i have to walk down to the Salon in Marshall Street.

I have been Thinking of Washing My Clothes…even though i have to carry all of them to the Basement, where the Washing Machine and Dryer is located.

I have been Thinking of Cutting My Nails… even though i have to search for my Nail Cutter among all the Mess.

I have been Thinking of Eating something… but even for that, i have to get out of bed and walk to kitchen!

Now i know… Even Thinking can be Tiring! I Guess all this Thinking has Exhausted Me! Somebody Help!

I just now woke up after dozing off in the David and Ilene Flaum Grand Hall(Big Name! I’m sure i’ll forget it after moving out of the hall. So, typing it directly into the Blog!) which is in the Whitman’s Building at our University. I wonder why i feel so sleepy?! As we all know, the Answer Lies Within. So, lemme look for an answer Inside Me!

Thinking about my sleeping habit… I’m a Heavy Sleeper. Can you imagine, I have spent nearly 10years of my life… sleeping!!! I have never cared about noise, lighting and stuffs like that. If i feel sleepy, i just go to sleep! My mom is exactly the opposite of me. She cant sleep even if there is a tiny bit of light inside the room and there should be complete silence. But me, i would sleep through tornadoes, earth quakes, and even a fire alarm! Veedae pathikitu erinchalum na nimmathiya thoonkitu irupen!!! My parents struggle to wake me up. There has been instances when i have locked the house from inside and slept, and they had to sleep in our neighbor’s house.

Alarm’s have been of no use. I’ve tried using more than 3-4 alarm’s at the same time-for Maximum Effect. But, usually it has Zero Effect. Enna, i wake up and turn off all the alarms and sleep again. Then, I used to keep alarm in our mp3 player-for maximum volume! It used to be of use sometimes. It will play a CD or FM Station as Alarm Tone. But still, i would wake up and go to switch the mp3 system off and sleep in the sofa. Once, the song “Pothikitu Paduthukalaam… Kathadikuthu Kaathadikuthu Kaasimetu…” (roughly translated as… get into your blanket and sleep) was the alarm for me. Timing Song! lolz. And then finally i’ll wake up exactly on time and i had to run to my college bus stop. Read this post for more – Chasing the College Bus. And during the exam days, as soon as i take my book in my hand, i start feeling sleepy and go to bed earlier than usual. I’ve even slept once during the exam… No… Not the Mid Term or Model Exams(We used to sleep during those exams usually. Thats Normal! We either sleep or make funny noises during the exam!) This was during our Second Year Semester Exam. Subject-Kinematics, which was one of the easiest but still i kept an arrear in it! Even those guys who usually have arrears in all subjects cleared this subject!

So, then how do i wake up?! I wake up sometimes really early. Thats when i am really determined, or have some work to do. I jus sleep thinking that i have to wake up at such and such time and believe me, i’ve woken up exactly at that time. But, that doesnt happen often!

The reasons for me sleeping so much… According to my mom, i’m still a young boy, i don’t have any responsibilities and so i sleep without worrying about anything in this world. When i become responsible and have things to do, it’ll change. According to my Doctor, my haemoglobin content in my blood is low. To recharge and rejuvnate my Body, i sleep so much. I am supposed to eat a lot of iron(thats iron rich food, like beetroot.) Both of them might be Right! But, according to me, i am just plain lazy.

To you guys out there, I’m trying to remember just why it was that, when we were young, we thought it would be so cool to grow facial hair.

From an evolutionary point of view, there are lots of different theories about why men have facial hair and why women, for the most part, don’t.
I actually tried to find this out, but there were so many theories out there, it seems the scientific world really doesn’t know for sure.
There’s the theory that men went out into the cold the most to do their hunting, so they needed beards for warmth.
There’s a theory that it’s just a simple fact of hormones.
There’s the belief that mens’ facial hair is just another evolutionary development to attract females as a sign of masculinity. And there are more.
Whatever, to me it doesn’t make much sense.

Basically, upon reflection, I remember getting man-hairier when i was in my 12th std…which seemed cool to me, then. I was around 17yrs old! I was told that, it will grow thicker and in a more proper way, only if you start shaving. So, i wanted to shave.

A few of my friends, had started shaving regularly. For some reason, this insulted me, coz it made me feel like a small boy. “I’ll show them!” I thought. “I’ll have crazy thick hair on my face!”
And, unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened. Crazy Hair!

The first time i shaved was as soon as i finished my 12th std. I went shopping and bought the Razor, Shaving Cream, Brush, After-Shave Lotion, etc etc! The next day morning i woke up early, all charged up to do my first shave!
I Grabbed the razor, popped in a fresh blade, and made everything ready with what is quite possibly the perfect shave setup. After rinsing my face, lathered up thickly and shaved whatever small mustache and beard that was there! And then there was the aftershave.
I was only shaving fuzz, but it was cool.

After that i started shaving once in 2-3 months, then every month and now it has become every week!

I have suffered many cuts and scrapes and various other outrageous misfortunes whilst trying to maintain a clean-shaven look and feel!

Once during my second year, frm the study hols till the next semester beginning, i didnt shave. I was too lazy and so let it grow. Having a beard was kind of cool! I think it made me look tough! I really hate shaving and it was fun not to for a while. In the end I gave up. I just couldnt find the right balance or scruffiness and sophistication!

Besides that, professionally, I can’t go around looking unshaven and unkempt. I either have to be clean-shaven or have a beard…I can’t BE in between, unless I’ve decided I’m growing a beard.

The task went from a “do it when you want to feel like a grownup” thing to a “do it every day if you don’t want to look like Grizzly Adams” thing.

Now, I’ve certainly reached a point where shaving has become a chore. And i don’t know why, i almost always feel like a skinless chicken (uricha koli) as soon as i finish shaving.

I hate Shaving!

I wish, i knew magic, so that i could control the amount of hair on my face. I could make it grow to exactly the size and shape i want it to be! But, unfortunately, in reality, i cant make do without shaving.

So, shaving is a necessary evil in my life!!!

Hey… Catch U ppl later… I gotta go shave now…!!!
