Cpaitalism at its best?
Just as I was digging into a Rs. 212 + plus tax veg submarine in an airport cafe in India.... visible through the glass of the airport building was the sight of construction workers balancing themselves on what looked like highly unsafe scaffolding. Does an airport become world class only by the expensive granite used, number of shops, number of terminals and the short length of queues? Does it not matter how the airport was built? Will it be any surprise if these construction workers feel frustrated with their plight when others are enjoying themselves inside? And would it be any surprise if one day, one of them revolt?

Ah! A Good Nights Sleep
“How can you continue sleeping with so many mosquitoes around?” asked a friend in the morning.
My friend was staying with me in Chennai for a while. Last night had been a nightmare for him. Mosquitoes had raided our home and the mosquito repellant was as useful as a mobile phone in a no network area. Five mosquitoes swooping around your ear like jet fighters is not everyone’s idea of a good night’s sleep.
I realized that somehow I managed to sleep peacefully right through the mosquito attacks. This scenario repeated for quite a few days in the following month. The reasons for my friend’s lack of sleep changed, from ants to skin allergy to heat to mosquitoes again but I slept peacefully through all of it. I now realize that I am off to deep sleep almost as soon as I lie down, waking up only in the morning. Mosquitoes, ants, noise do not disturb me much.
I had taken this good night’s sleep for granted until now. Only when I saw my friend struggling to sleep on a number of occasions for various reasons, did I realize that God has indeed given me a great present; the ability to sleep peacefully as and when I desired. I am thankful indeed now for this gift. Rest in Sleep!
