Lazy Afternoons
What can I say about the afternoons...be it in school or college or even work - A bed next to you...wouldn't that be a dream come true.
Through the phases of life, I have seen people snooze in the afternoons in many different ways...no matter what happens around.

The interesting nap I ever witnessed dates back to FIFA World Cup 2002 days. I was travelling to San Franscisco for work, first time out of India for me. My collegue was also a first timer. We had a stop over at Singapore. It was around 3 in the afternoon. All the football crazy fans in the lounge were waiting for two eagerly awaited matches - England vs Nigeria, Argentina vs Sweden. My collegue and I managed to grab two seats amidst the crowd. Around us, there were few 10s of people standing and watching the match. 15 mintues into the game, I heard a strange sound come from behind.
I turned around and noticed my collegue was fast asleep and snoring at a very high pitch...In a way I was pissed off looking at it, but then I didnt want to miss the fun...So I relocated myself to a corner and started enjoying the scene :)
If we sit and list down such incidents, I bet we can come out with a book full of stories...

But wait a sec, is it only humans who doze off?
