Five minutes More ... Please!!!!!!

'Paanch minat aur sone do yaar...' doesnt this phrase sound familiar? I feel, this is the most prevalent phrase said in the mornings. People who say this may have said this either to the people who are trying to wake them up or to themselves in case there is an alarm is going wild behind their head. People who wake up early and try to wake others up proudly say 'its all there in mind. if you have will power, you will wake up now.' . Then there are people like me who dont heed to such dialogues which according to them is supposed induce an 'Eye opening effect' in me. I strongly feel, God must not have thought of sleep when he created will power. With will power,I can move mountains, jump off Mount everest and survive, learn swimming and swim across all seven oceans in theworld but wake up early?? I am sorry.All this does NOT mean i have not seen how 5:30 in the morning looks like.. Its beautiful.. Awesome.. but the problem is ..whenever i saw how 5:30 AM looked like, it was either due to loose motions or because i did not sleep the previous night... Most of the times, I hear people talking about early morning stuff and i am the one who had seen these only in either photos or paintings.. So once i decided to try that out and one morning, i collected all my will power and went jogging early in the morning(actually, i could not sleep that night to wake up early next morning). I felt nice all the time i jogged looking at beautiful females trying to stop obesity conquer them. Its a different matter altogether that i could not go to office that day because i came back and slept till 1 PM.Then there are people like one of my relatives who went jogging every morning to loose weight and went on to gain 5 kilos after a month.. It was later found that she went jogging till her favourite restaurant, had heavy breakfast and returned back.... Good tip for those who wanna gain some kilos. isnt it... Now coming back to sleeping... Did you ever try waking up earlier than you generally do?? i am sure you will struggle a lot .. you will feel as if you have been tied to an elephants tail and asked to pull it out of the forest into a zoo... Even the people who boast of waking up early will have trouble waking up earlier than usual. So what can a person do to push his usual waking up time backwards? A possible solution is to push waking up time back a little say by 15 minutes.. for 10 days or so then some 15 more minutes for some more days... This is just a hypothesis and i do not take responsibility of the working of things written here.. I hope my idea works.. I never tried ... Do i need to??? I dont think so... if you guys try it out, do tell me.. I will suggest this to others.

Loan Lelo Bhaii loan !!!!

"Hi Sir!,This is Shilpa calling from xxxxx bank. This is regarding a lifetime free credit card. Would you like to go for it sir???"This was something i heard in the middle of a client meeting.. Although the poor girl said the above line, it sounded like.."Hello clown! This is Aishwarya Rai calling from some shitty bank which wants you to shell out some money for nothing by giving you free stuff that you can never claim. Would you be foolish enough to be our customer??" I really fear such calls where girls with lovely names and sexy voices try to give away free credit cards with the same frequency as the rate of increase of bangalores traffic.I really think banks count on the forgetfullness of IT industry. The later you repay, the more they gain isnt it?? Not only credit cards, i dunno why banks are very keen on giving personal loans. I remember those movies where Nirupa Roy used to give her mangalsutra to her husband and said "ise girvi rakh ke kuch paise le aao".How i wish these banks were there in those times so that poor 12 year kids didnt have to steal breads/medicines and later become the Mumbai dons. The ultimate comedy was when a bank which financed my bike gave me an offer to provide a small personal loan to to clear off my remaining bike loan amount !!!! A loan to clear a loan??? i mean... how could somebody even think this is possible?? One more... When i said i dont want any loan, they had the heart to ask me why dont i need a loan? for a moment, i thought i might have sounded to her like a person badly needing a loan else will either die of starvation or would have to steal medicines to save his daadima... the gal could not even see me and even if she saw me, i look as if i am from a "khaata piita ghar" and not as i just reached here from somalia and need some money to get back my state of health. I wonder how important a loan is... Is it so important that i have to explain to people why i dont need one??i think i will ask this to the next person who calls me for a loan or credit card(that will probably be tomorrow if i am lucky)... If any of you guys have any answer, please let me know...
