I remember writing for this exact question before but can’t seem to find it. Regardless I’m mostly a night owl, but why mostly and not declaring myself completely one is because I do get up early many times (even with hardly any sleep). So I come in both categories I guess, but practically don’t we all?
Besides I heard this brilliant quote recently:
The early bird catches the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I later found out there’s a book of that name, and I might read it sometime soon. Coming to what I said, the quote cleverly attributes that while it’s good to start early for success, sometimes ‘misfortune’ (something which I still question) can lead to undesirable outcomes. The second part of the quote in a way mentions how procrastination in fact, can lead oneself from being saved for better results in the future. Like the first mouse could be killed/trapped and the second can learn from what happened to the first. And/or claim the cheese as a reward for itself, as the trapped only worked and won’t again. But what if the cheese is rat poisoned? Then in that case even the 2nd mouse is doomed despite learning of what befell the first if it went on to take it.
So you see it all comes down to the situation at hand. I find it naive to call myself or someone else a night owl (many accused me of being a dog or well, an asshole but this is something strange I say) or someone else for that matter, who stays awake more than others or late hours mostly. That’s something I can stop doing , something purely my own decision, but today won’t be that day, nor will it be tomorrow. Okay, that was a quote by Batman, and I’d rather be called Batman than a lame owl. I like owls more than bats though. Oh well.
Coming to which, perhaps the most iconic thing served, from it’s various juices and sodas, frankies, grilled sandwiches, pastries and others, is my most favourite cold cappuccino. Have been drinking that for nearly a decade now! If you look at it, it’s nothing extraordinary, just a regular cold coffee with a touch of chocolate powder sprinkled. But after having been taking it for such a long time, don’t think even the very dam expensive ones like Starbucks or others can beat it to the top. Just another example of simplicity being #1. Well, just one thing, there was a time when it was mere ₹ 12 and including vanilla or chocolate ice-cream was ₹ 20-25. Today the coffee alone is just ₹ 25, add 20 more for any ice-cream. Ah I miss those days, casually having cold coffee with a favourite ball of ice-cream.
