Day four or day five

I really need to do something about my sleeping problem. I am just not able to get an undisturbed sleep unless I am dead tired. I was sleeping over at Vishal's place last night & since I was so tired that I felt asleep while watcing the movie. I was told in the morning that I was snoring like a rhino. That's a first - guess we all pay a price for wrong decisions but this one's an unique price to pay :)

Fredrick Nietzsche once said "Hope is worst of all evils for it for it prolongs the torments of a man". Knowing that Nietzsche had hardly anything good to say about mankind in general, one should generally disregard his point of view. But the line got me thinking ? Is it true that sometimes in life we keep hoping about good things which would happen to us ? So much so that we ignore the present, take it for granted with the hope that something better would come along sometime in the future ? I know that I have been guilty of such a thought & almost everyone I know would have done or thought the same. So Nietzche was right in a certain sense but then hope about the future which leads to disregarding the present is a bad virtue to have. What we have today in our hands is something which is certain in life, we have the ability to ensure that what we have today has the ability to make our life better or worse. It all depends on how we act on it

Got a call from my friend who could detect from my voice that I was upset over the fact that I could not fly home on time. This is someone who knows me well & is able to detect my moods over a phone even when she spoke to me after few months maybe. I am lucky to have her as my friend :)

Have asked my friend to lend me the book Catch 22. Have read the book before but thought would get back to it again. I seriously need to get back to my reading habits once more. It provides me with a sense of calmness which is much needed in life overall.

Need to have some intelligent conversations in life, kind of miss those in Helsinki :) It would be great to have few friends over , have a fireplace, some nice warm coffee & some long chats or discussions. Unfortunately what I end up doing most of the time here is drinking & listening to some loud music in a pub. Mind it, its not a bad thing but since the time it has became the only weekend activity, it is kind of getting boring. Challenge- how do I find such company here?

Time to go to sleep, hopefully should be able to get some.
