Spectator by Seema Goswami: Birds of a feather

Jul 20, 2023 02:50 PM IST

Some people like waking up early and seizing the day while others prefer to get a late start... but why must these two groups be at war with each other?

Among all the tedious people in the world, the most tedious are the ones who keep banging on and on about the benefits of waking up at the crack of dawn to get an early start to the day. You know the ones I mean, don’t you? They are the ones who regale you with stories about how they wake up at 4 am, meditate and do yoga for an hour, then head out for a walk, and come back and hydrate with some warm water infused with lemon and honey. They are the ones telling you how much they enjoy the quiet of early mornings when the rest of the household is asleep, and how it is the time they get most of their work done. They are the ones droning on about how breakfast meetings are the best. And so on.
