RSS FeedsA family of nocturnals

This was bound to happen one way or another. The transition has been total. Although it has been orchestrated by our one-year-old daughter, Vasu, we have always been a part-time nocturnal family. Even when I was young (a millennium ago) they used to call me ullu — the owl — because I mostly slept in the morning. Then I met Alka, who herself was not an enthusiastic night sleeper. And together we bore a child that eventually touched the pinnacle for us. She never, ever sleeps at night.
Now, all three of us go to sleep after 11 AM and wake up around 5 or 6 in the evening. We’re fortunate we work from home and 99% of my clients are in other countries. It’s day there, it’s night her, but since I’m wide awake at night, it works well for all the parties concerned.

how weird veer. just last night i had a dream that i am visiting you guys and its a really different place. its a big-roomed house with large doors and yellowish, bright, clear light, and alka is there looking at me and smiling and i say i wanna go to the loo, and i go and its all different, i don’t know what, but kind of everything, and i am just looking at you guys through this huge window, thinking/saying, or rather the words in my mind are heard by everyone that everyone does ‘this’ like this and you are doing it like ‘this’.
.. i can’t remember what ‘that’ was .. but i clearly remember alka smiling a content smile ..
