As usual my day started at 4.30 in d mornin not because I believe in the old adage 'early 2 bed and early 2 rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise' but because of the fact that i can't manage studying on my own. Hence I end up attending classes.
Inspite of Chennai boasting to be a metro I find my village to be better when it comes to street lights. The lights are on in the night and switched off only when there is proper visibility. That is followed in my village and I think that is how it should be. Sadly that is not seen here in Chennai. The lights are on when not required and off otherwise. Can you believe it if I say that the sun has a rival at 9.30 in the morning. But the moon has to manage on its own at 5.30 in the morning when the sun is finding it hard to come out so early. I have to strain my eyes in the dark early morning hoping that I get classmates with me for company. The deserted streets of Chennai can be very unsafe and even scary at times.
After braving all odds you sit in the class hoping to bring a smile on your parents face once the results are out. But alas! It gets difficult when you try keeping your eyes open, finally realizing the art of sleeping with eyes open. Even worse is the realization that your day is going to be bad as your boss is going to be back after a trip, learning in the process the tactics to delay payment of his employees.
