Most people consider us University students boring people with no night-life, and usually live with their heads buried in their books... Well, you guys are right.. Most of us are like that, but you do know that there are a few exceptions. Walk into my MA class, and you'll know what I'm talking about. (Because my class is the one with all the exceptions!!!) We've got inspired film-makers, artists, journalists, comedians, jugglers, singers, guitarists, mimics, and a lot more.
Well, I know that's not anything great, but finding people like this in a research institute is pretty cool! But, since we don't do as much work as the average city slicker, we obviously don't need much sleep. This has made a few people like me end up having the weirdest sleep cycles. I now don't sleep at 2.00am anymore.. I sleep at 7.30am or later!!! (When everybody gets ready for work) What do I do till then? Well, there are so many things a guy can do in the middle of the night in a hostel like mine. There is the internet, and all it's information, both relevant and unnecessary; there's my roomie, Digvijay, who's availability 24x7 for chatting and debating on any serious or frivolous issue. (Talking with ol' Digg can last for hours on end). And of course, there's the food-court, where the food and the fun happens!
Another great thing about sleeping so late is the fact you get to witness dawn. If there's something really really important, I can force myself to wake up before the sun, but that has happened less than ten times in my twenty years of existence. And once you witness dawn at JNU, you get addicted.
Early morning walks, runs, exercises are great for body mind and soul. I didn't believe in that until I tried it out here. (Obviously, I didn't get up to exercise. I just stayed up) If you've been reading my earlier posts (Crazy fog!) you'll know what I'm talking about. I thought only the JNU landscape with it's temperate springtime flowers and trees, peacocks, squirrels, and tweety birds would make great mornings, but I was once again proved wrong.
I wanted to check out how the morning looked like at Chennai, so when I went home for my vacations, I was amazed by the sunrise! From my terrace, I could see the Chennai harbour, with it's towering cranes and ships, and the rising sun throwing rays between these monsters of steel, with the reflecting glassy ocean as a background. It is definitely a great idea to wake up early in the morning
