Rediscovering myself - Day 1

So I now have a long weekend ahead of me with no one in the house, and an (innately futile) desire to cost-cut until I cover that amount lost in the failed long weekend getaway.

Sounds to me like the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with myself. Even though we don't have to fix a convenient time or place for an appointment, it's strange how rarely we get to meet up with ourselves in today's world. Think of when was the last time you were all alone, not asleep and with nothing or nobody keeping some part of your mind occupied? In my case, I can't even remember the last time that happened. Could have been months back, perhaps even years ago.

So while I go spend some alone time with myself, and in the process hope to return having conjured an eternal couplet of my own along the lines of 'mai aur meri tanhayee, aksar baatein karte hain', let me leave you with the first fact I've rediscovered about myself.

1. I fail to understand my body clock - With there being no plans and an absolutely free day beckoning me to sleep through if possible, I found myself awake without an alarm, showered and ready for a blank day, all by 9.40am. In today's hashtag lingo, this is the apt definition that should be provided for #FacePalm
