Dear Fellow Rider,
Are you a sleeper or better yet a swinger?
Have you ever given into sweet surrender of #sleep while riding in #delhimetro? I do & proudly so. Most will argue it is a privilege for the seated ones. But I am sure you would have come across a few Ninjas who try to pull this maneuver off while standing & swaying. I am sleep starved myself on most days. But I ain’t no swinger, sister. An occasional nudge on one side and I am teleported into the realms of deep slumber. Maybe once or twice I swung my head hard but really it was harmless and more importantly humorless.
On the other hand, I have seen quite a few violent swingers in metro. Strictly speaking, no harm done there. Such scenes only encourage a few smiles. Come to think of it, we are turning into an unkind unfriendly zombie like race with our heads lifelessly hung over phone, so it does feel human to share a moment of a foolish smile with a total stranger. Brightens up the day really!

What is that keeps a count of stations when we are napping? Subconscious or Mind? Are we the creatures of habit, disciplined by routine? Rarely have I missed my station, too tired to fight the embrace of goddess of sleep. It is uncanny that the heavy sleepers cum swingers also have an inert body clock. They get up in a demonic possessed manner. Our lives are playing on loop just like that new tune from Matt Simons. Repeatability has our sleep tamed.
Until recently, I had been telling myself that redemption is not far. All I need is to land up a job in a Japanese company then I can sleep on my desk like a #bawse #devilmaycare (devil being boss) All my hopes were quashed when I actually interviewed at one. They start work at 8:00 freaking am. Thanks but no thanks!
A secret trick I tried at #workplace to address post lunch drowsiness was to go and lock myself inside a meeting room which had sofa on the pretext of headache (snooze mode on). My employer found about it when it became kind of a thing and the place was always booked. They got the lock and sofa removed.
If you feel droopy often, get your bottom moving in the morning. A 10-15 min stretch in the golden hour transforms you into a #ninja ready to take on the world without sleep issues.
