Daylight Savings

It feels quite strange to be writing on this page again.. but a nice kind of strange.

On this Saturday, 25th October, we changed our time to fall back one hour and go back to GMT time. And for a logically unjustified reason, I feel like I have gained an hour of sleep. Or so I would like to think. Slept till about 10:30 am on the Sunday morning despite of the extra hour in bed. The weekend has been quite good, they do seem to be really really short thought. You do something on Friday night, Driving/Golf on Saturday, some tv, some cooking etc etc. and it's already sunday then and you start thinking about going back to work. This is a topic that maybe i'll keep for another post, but going back to the daylight savings time change.

And unlike you would have guessed this post is about the last word in the sentence, CHANGE. What do I mean? Well, the shift in time is a change right? And some people are glad about it, some unhappy (like me) that its gonna get darker soon [no more of those long summer days, even if they were not sunny always].. but most of us indifferent to the change. What difference should it bring in our lifestyle? Nothing probably, even though if you think of it the activity in its context, we are getting up a different time, sleeping at a different time, eating at a different time etc.. and all this we accept so normally with a mere change of the hands on the clock!!!

Gives rise to two questions that made scribble this post - What makes some changes like this so easy to accept? and whatever the reason with an accepting change, we just think (if we do!) and move on with it, should that always be so? So if it doesnt impact us financially, and if everybody else does it - we just don't care about it that much..

Maybe somethings for one to think about...
