A good night's sleep

We have all been there.  Tired after waking.  But you just woke so how is it you are tired?
There is PhD level research on this subject.  Many a quack has a theory.  Mattress manufacturing is $15 Billion industry.

Yet there are sleep deprived people walking like zombies all around us.  What is going on?  Every month it seems some charlatan comes with a new patented method to help us sleep better.  From nose implants to gadgets to perfume and create melodies in the room to hand crafted steel coils made in European factories (which could mean Bosnia but who understands geography?  esp after missing sleep) that go in to sheep skin mattresses for the best sleeping experience ever!

Now there is a movement fueled by showcasing supply chain economics to those than can barely add 2 and 2.  Take the middle man out and get it direct online.  Save hundreds.  We will show you how.  We will actually just give you $500 back - now that was easy.  That itself should help you sleep better.  Never mind the $3,000 you signed up for on an installment plan.  If you are like half the Americans then you are probably broke so you are not going to be able to afford that monthly payment.  But never mind that we come and take it away - the mattress that is.  We already made a killing on the financing so it really does not matter what coils you slept on.

We will recycle those to the next fool who wants to sleep better - tonight!

All first world problems for obese, brain function retarded people on the planet.  If you are dead tired as the expression says you can sleep on an Indian railway platform with bugs crawling up your ass.  And not miss a beat.  Wake up on time aka when fully rested to start the routine of being dead tired all over again.

Now if you want to experience that you have to sign up for a meditation and yoga class which is coming to a center near you.  Cost only $500 - available with four easy payments.  Do the math.  If you are awake.

But What If We're Wrong?

I attempted to read this book by author Chuck Klosterman backward to forward but it started hurting my brain so I decided to stop and do it like any other publication in the English language.  Start from page 1 and move to the right. Witty, caustic and thought provoking this is a book you want to read if you believe that the status quo might, just might be wrong. At times bordering on being contrarian about most things around us it tries to zero in on the notion of what makes anything believable and certain in our minds.  The fact that there is a fact itself is ironic.  Something analogous to the idea that you can never predict the future because there is no future. Many books and movies have tried to play on this concept - best that I recollect (I think I am) was 'The Truman Show'.  This book by Klosterman attempts to provoke the reader to at least contemplate that what they think they know may be wrong. He uses examples like concept of gravity, and how it ...

Peru, South America - Week well spent

Growing up in India the only Peru I knew of was a tropical fruit (Guava for those whose lingua is English).   Not until high school did I discover that it was also a country in the South American continent. So it was this early April week that we decided to hit up Peru - the land of the once glorious Inca people that lived 500 years ago.  Today Peru is the third largest country on that continent with a diverse geography that stretches from the drier Pacific coast plains to the high mountains of the Andes and the Amazon river valley to its east. Our trip was primarily a pilgrimage of sorts to visit the last remaining, lost (now found and documented), large scale, mostly undamaged, city of the Inca nobility, called Machu Picchu (MP).  The Inca were great architects and builders.  MP is a UNESCO world heritage site affording it high visibility to the tourism trade and therefore crowded year round.  Our timing was not quite high season allowing us...

You are important to us

Followed by piano music.   Followed by 'we are experiencing heavier than usual call volume'.  Sounds macabre like bleeding during menstruation or after a ghastly attack with a weapon on a hemophiliac.  Sorry Mrs. Johnson but it appears little Gertrude here has been bleeding heavier than usual what with her night time activities competing with the woodchucks in your neighborhood. Some services even go as far as to pick a random day to say - 'if you were to call us during the Chinese lunar month when the moon is axiomatically hugging the polar star with Jupiter intravenous when call volume is light'.  Well I will be damned.  I thought  I had checked with my astrologer before I placed this well focused call but  I guess this is what you get for listening to a quack. Umph! I am not sure which marketing genius came up with this personal touch concept of informing the caller that you are really a jackass for actually calling the customer serv...
