Catching up with sleep! 1/12/2014

Who ever said ‘A place for everything and everything in its place” should alter the saying slightly considering the changing times.

It should read’ A  place for everyone  and everyone in  one’s own place’   so that they are at liberty to flout rules  society  has ‘imposed’, if I may say so .

Again  the expression ‘you are caught napping’ I think should be changed to ‘you are caught sleeping’ especially  if you happen to be a vip of sorts to be caught on camera  by  the ever vigilant media. Recent instances of this have been reported where a  reluctant ‘politician’ and  a flight attendant   made news  for the wrong reasons.

But what  ifthe so called’ rasika’ sitting in the front row  is  seen sleeping and snoring away to glory  when all the audience without exception is engrossed  in the concert ?  At  one such concert, I noticed all the five artistes –the young musician and all the accompanists suddenly breaking into a laughter and trying their best to suppress it even as they were trying to catch the eye of the sponsor   of the programme, probably to whisk away the  culprit  distracting or ‘amusing ‘ them! When I  craned my neck to   see  who  this person was, I thought  the best place to catch up with sleep would have been the person’s own bedroom!
