2328hrs:

Enticing leaps in imagination of the public is difficult work but nature supports us despite the seeming odds stacked against us. 

We can feel the power.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 188 of 2024

2324hrs:

It's been a long day, as it started at about 0800hrs yesterday morning. Although I did get a few hours sleep this morning between 0900hrs and midday.

There's been an addition to my family in the early hours of this morning. I've been blessed with another son.

Immense joy is seldom achieved without great pain. There's a lot that my wife has gone through for this delivery, which it turns out was 2 days overdue.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 187 of 2024

1115hrs:

Walked on an empty stomach today after almost 2 months of recovering from the kicks I received in my left ribs at Sehnsa police station on the morning of the 9th of May (2024).

....

I made a point of going to sleep soon after our X Space ended last night at 2300hrs. I woke up at 0800hrs to the joyful sound of lashing rain and soon after proceeded for that elusive morning walk.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 186 of 2024

2310hrs:

I have mentioned before - perhaps on more than one occasion - that what happens during the course of any given day is not adequately portrayed in this daily diary.

Yes, most if not all significant happenings in public interest are logged in some shape or form but despite about 7 years of practice, I am yet to publish my day in adequate detail.

My sleeping pattern is improving though I'm still striving for that 0400hrs start and a maximum rest of 6 hours per 24 hour cycle.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 185 of 2024

2316hrs:

A slightly more effective day today despite the stifling heat, exacerbated by concrete and deforestation.

It was early morning, around 0700hrs that we heard the news that a well known relative of ours - Raja Qabil Khan of Gurutta - had succumbed to terminal cancer. A good part of the morning was spent with the bereaved and then funeral proceedings in the late afternoon kept us occupied.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 184 of 2024

1538hrs:

Another lax day today. Did try and sleep just beyond midnight. Took time in sleeping and did get up at 0800hrs but fell back asleep at 1000hrs, only to wake up at 1400hrs again. Another 12 hour stint of sleep today. Again, unacceptable!

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 183 of 2024

1505hrs:

A bit of a lax day today. Slept at c. 0100hrs and did get up at 0800hrs but fell back asleep until 1300hrs. That amounts to almost 12 hours of rest in a 24 hour cycle. Unacceptable!
