Training Day

Last two days i was in training. Training days are good. Because you get to leave office on time or even better, before time. Training days are bad. Because you have to come to office on time. And you have to fight falling into deep slumber.
Its war. You and sleep. Especially after lunch. The monotonous blabbering of your trainer is like a soothing voice that magically makes your eyelids to sink with gravity. Its like some voice in your head saying “you are going to sleep now, you are going to sleep now”. And like a hypnotized body we obey to its commands. Then Bang!. Either you suddenly remembers that you are supposed to learn all the invaluable lessons the kind trainer is trying to teach you or the trainer catches you on the act. You wake up, determined not to drowse again. But alas, like a new year resolution, your brains doesn’t take itself seriously. It becomes a cycle. Nap, wake up, nap, wake up. And all the waking seconds you will be longingly looking at the watch hoping that it would magically go faster.

Doesn’t this bring back memories of our school/college life? There is a small difference, though. There we could have done any buffoonery to avoid sleeping. But here you are supposed to act all matured. Bull!
