So to beat insomnia, you really need to fight it. If you let it rule, you'd be counting infinite sheep during the nights. I figured I'll take the problem head-on. Therefore I am here.. at work.. at 3 AM in the morning...

The first thing I did was to have a really long bath. A strong coffee always helps.. and got a couple of cans of Coke to work. Coke contains caffeine and when you are sleepy, you feel thirsty ( atleast me), so coke handles both the problems well..

If you haven't heard James Morrison's "You give me something", you should listen to it. And Mat Kearney is Chris Martin of the USA. Why did I just change the topic? Cuz I have massive ADD.

Anyways, since I am gonna liveblog the progress of my workday.. stay tuned for updates and stuff like "Art of Sleeping with hands on keyboard and eyes on the monitor"

UPDATE 1: 4.30 AM
- C++ just flows in the mornings.
- Don't listen to Norah Jones during 18 hr workdays.

UPDATE 2 : 6.00 AM
- Normally the most popular songs of great artists aren't the best ones. That's what I am discovering with Coldplay. I totally like "Shiver" and "Fix You" - relatively less popular songs.
Great music is a great antidote for sleep.
- I got a lot of flax when I sang
"Bholi bhali ladki..
Khol teri khidki"

UPDATE 3 : 7.30 AM
- Nothing. Life goes on.

UPDATE 4 : 12.00 AM
- My C++ blitz worked and I have released an alpha version. Hail the 18hr! But I've reached a stage of extreme sleepiness that I can't keep my head straight up. Gonna head home and have some lunch. "O Saathi Re - Omkara" doesn't help things. Coke's caffeine is overrated. Vishal Bharadwaj is a genius.
