tired.....i am going to sleep.

We sleep.
Steadily darkness overtakes.Sun goes down, lights go out, eyes shut and we sleep. Dogs woof to reassure themselves that they are the real ones and their competitors in the human form are now asleep. The watchman whistles to reassure us that he is awake while we sleep.
After a long, never-ending day, night eventually arrives and we sleep. No matter how bad the receding day might have been, we sleep. we sleep to put an end to the day that just refuses to end. We sleep because we are tired. we sleep because sleep gives us chance to dream. We sleep to wake up another day and make a new beginning. A fresh, new start.
We sleep because we have to remain awake for long. However,right now, we cannot take it anymore.We cannot remain awake. Thus, we sleep.
Good night. ZZzzzzzzzzz......

Some women find the word aunty offensive....

It was funny.


Today, i referred to a woman as aunty and she looked offended. In spite of the fact that her age, she must be in her late 40s, and more importantly her appearance completely justified the epithet. Anyways i didnt mean to hurt her.I apologized.
