| a "B" type persona |
|---|
have you ever wished you were born in Denmark ? well; i did, for more than one reason. and that was after listening to some of the podcasts i have down loaded for free from the BBC.
what or rather who is a b - type person? well i am afraid i am one!
for one thing their social security system is one of the finest. i heard a chap telling the BBC correspondent that he does not want to go to work for he is comfortable with the free bees being doled out by the danish government. the fellow thinks he is better off without a job than when he has one! there is a negative aspect there and i am aware of it; but the balance tips in favour of the positive aspects.
but the real reason for my wishing to be in Denmark right at the moment is some thing else. the government there is making special arrangements for B type persons.
i got up at 0200hrs today (or shall i say yesterday? it is already past 0300hrs). of course i slept late. lastnight i had hit the bed about 0400hrs
should i have said, last morning?it is all a bit confusing. in fact for quite some time my clock was was set to green-wich mean time to give a semblance of reasonableness to my hours and days
i am an old man 57 and i was under the impression that as you get older you don't require that much of sleep as you wanted while you were younger. but in my case i still require my eight hours! and getting up before tha allotted quota is finished is an impossible task.
i have two alarm clocks, one red and one white both from titan care of CSD. one of them is kept near my bed and the other at a distance so that i cannot reach it without getting up from bed and there is no question of my stopping it as well and turning over and going to sleep again! and it does help in emergencies.

right now i am not employed and am sitting at home. so i can go to sleep or get up as and when i please. but it was the same even while i was working.
the real fact of the matter is that i don't feel like doing any thing in the morning hours and will drag on till late in the day to start working. the result is late nights which extend to the morning hours. the cycle repeats and it used to be a problem being in time to sign the attendance register! even now when i have some work to be done in some offices or such eventualities it becomes a big nuisance.
my experience is that if i am able to sleep till about noon, that day is going to be a pleasant one for me and i can function at my peak till the early morning hours. then go to bed as the birds start chirping and get up in the afternoon and start the day again afresh!
thanks to the BBC i now know that i am in good company. that way i am indebted to the bbc a lot. for example way back in the early eightees when in the temple festival at temple gate, my birthplace, a train ran over a crowd collected on the rail tracks to watch the fire works, i sitting in a tent in the foot hills of the himalayas, got the information from mark tully. -we could not get all india radio there then. in one of their pod casts, the BBC's denmark correspondent has come up with the fact that some people are genetically programmed to function better during the late hours of the day, the so called B type persons - as opposed to the A type. the Danes want the best out of their people and so are making special arrangements for their B types with offices starting at hours that would ideally suit people like me, of course in parallel to the offices at "normal" hours for the A type. even schools are going to have this system with the B type children going to b type schools and vice versa!
there are other more interesting reasons for one wanting to go to the Scandinavian nations - but i am not that thrilled by the prospects right at the moment. you see, the heart is all excited, but the physique is not very willing. it has nothing to do with ageing - the fact is that your appetite for sex is an excellent barometer of your physical well being - at least that has been my experience. at karamana it was at the lowest ebb and the frequency has increased drastically once i shifted to this house!
well, now it is past 0440hrs and the B type person is feeling sleepy ("manda mandam nidra vannen manasathin maniyarayil chintha thante pon vilakkin thiri thazhthunnu . . . . . . .) and the dusky girl of yonder heavens in her birthday suit staring at me from my desk top is real tempting.
PS. want to see my location in trivandrum? try the google map and click on the red peg you see towards the south east trivandrum.
tail piece :- the pimps are extremely upset by the out going message ADAM is spitting out. early morning it is silenced mostly and by the time i reinstate it after i get up, it is evening; like today(070620) i have just reinstalled it at 1530ist
