Something very interesting happened to me today. I got up at 5:15 AM in the morning! I know what you’re thinking! You’re thinking – “Hey Aditya, What are you doing up at midnight?“. That’s a good question, but there were some unavoidable circumstances. But getting up at 5:15 was very educational for me, because I made some very interesting discoveries.

Firstly, I found out that breakfast doesn’t just magically appear on the dining table, like the newspaper does at our doorstep every morning. It turns out that the wife actually gets up and COOKS breakfast in the morning. That is pretty disappointing for me, because after paying so much for a dining table, I would have thought “magically appearing breakfast” was a feature of the thing.

I also made another shocking discovery – Did you know that sunrise is just like sunset, except in reverse? Yes, it turns out that the sun indeed does rise in the east, and doesn’t just go up in the sky like a light bulb. I’d heard about this dawn thing earlier, but it’s good to confirm these things yourself, especially with all the scams like Global Warming going around. I also figured out why vaastu says that your bedroom windows shouldn’t face east – It’s so that the sun’s rays don’t disturb you in the morning.

I’ll admit that I’ve not thought much about the mystery of how the milk comes to the house every morning. I always wondered how the cow could climb up the 9 stories to our house. But it turns out that the milk is actually DELIVERED by the milkman in the morning in packets, which has been extracted from cows beforehand. Wow! What cool technology, no?

Lastly, I figured out a disappointing truth. No matter what the time in Bangalore, there’s always traffic on its roads. But getting up early and seeing the dawn was a good educational experience for me – Just like my trip to Las Vegas was.
