Potpourri!

Broadly speaking there are two kinds of people in this world- the ones who hit the sack early and are up and running before the sun is over the horizon (Also called nerds or shall we say freaks!!). The second group of people are those cool ones who burn the proverbial mid night oil watching latest flicks in Dvd's or hanging around in pubs and having a pint of beer or two.

The sane working world seems to have been tailor made for the morning larks. A typical day for a working professional starts early in the morning leaving no time for those poor night owls to catch some well deserved rest. As the result, they turn up at the work place with puffy and burning eyes. Their work efficiency takes a beating and they are often over looked for "the long hard climb up the corporate ladder". And whats worse? The firm wherein the night owls work wind up for the day just as the owls tune up to work at their full efficiency.

True, there are many factories and other work places where in shift system is being followed where the owls can work at their preferred hour. But in most of the firms, the owls start the race from the pit lane and therefore are at a dis advantage right from the word go. Gone are those days when people followed the age old proverb- "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man wealthy and wise". The companies should introduce staggered timings so as to ensure that both the owls and larks are given equal opportunities to work at their preferred work hours. This will also increase their productivity and efficiency.
