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.

Of Jims and Johns

Here is another essay on the subject of first names. As in birth names. Or names provided to an offspring at birth. While the developed world tends to shy away from the exotic like Refrigerator or Coca Cola for their new production there is a plethora of Jims and Johns and Bobs or Robs. Speaking of which I do not think there is a categoric decision point at the time of birth if a child will be hereafter called as Bob. I mean have not yet met a toddler called Bob or Rob for that matter. At some point though the parental instinct to mouth out multiple syllables runs out and they switch from calling the crawler Robert to simply Robbie to Rob. Now speaking of - it is strange that the name sounds like something you would not want Rob to do - i.e. Rob anyone. Then why call someone that? After all Rob Peter to Pay Paul is not exactly a maxim to live a young life? Is it? Perhaps Peter or Paul might want to have a say in it? Then there is this matter of going to the John. Why degrad...

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 ...

Presumptive Society

Today's world is hyper connected.  I am not so sure what it means but you hear it a lot.  It is probably hyper but not sure how connected it is.  Sugar (fermented or not) is available in many ways than before and so getting hyper is easy.  It is probably more a threat than cocaine since it is sold legally. And what is this connected stuff?  Most people I encounter seem disconnected from reality.  So going back to this assumption that we are connected there are subtle and no so subtle instances of how brands and companies and middle men try to portray someone - A linkedin profile for somebody working for X years at a place advertises to the connected network that so and so is CELEBRATING X years @ Such and Such Inc. Do we know if (s)he is celebrating or cringing?  Perhaps a better way to portray will be - So and So LASTED X years @ such & such inc. Then it exhorts the readership to go ahead and congratulate them for this lasting effe...
