The Ogre Sleep There are times in lucky one’s life when 24 hours seem less and all days are Mondays. Sunrise and sunset happen at such a fast pace, so much so the calendar change seems to occur after every few days. If you are currently in this phase, then you will resonate with the title. Generally, there is a goal and all efforts are targeted towards achieving it. Everything takes a back seat especially sleep. Though I know this should not occur. When the aim is set very high, sacrifices are bound to be huge. A shout out to all children and their parents especially mothers who align themselves with their children’s goal. Once a while maybe after a fortnight or so, I sleep for around 8-10 hours at a stretch. I call this my Ogre sleep, after my favorite Shrek- Fiona. This sleep time energizes recharges and rewires all my neurons. I call it a body maintenance therapy which every physical form needs. I am eager to know who all take The Ogre Sleep. I welcome them to this club

Out of these three, care can be associated with other two From a medical angle, there are many diseases which can be controlled e.g. blood press

  I wish I was on the other side of phone !   While talking to an old friend, our conversation drifted to the foundation of marriage. She remarked, “One has to give in a lot in a marriage to make it work.” I was surprised by this remark of give in . I replied, “In a marriage, both partners need to build it up. So, we use the word institution. It is not a sphere where one needs to give in or take out. If one feels one is giving in, then the expectations arise. Only when we build it together, do we realize the true essence of it. ” These words knocked her out. I could hear silence. I patiently waited for her to come to present. In a couple of seconds, I could hear her hello and we were back on our track. With a feeling of giving in, one has an unseen baggage of expectations whereas in building up, one always strives to give their best without any returns. All the old sayings have deep meanings, although generations have lost on the actual meaning and just clanged on to phrases. O
