What do you do before you go to sleep?

Dear TDU
Kaatrin Mozhi is my great favourite too. Dont worry, be happy is also a very inspiring song. I love the famed number sung by Julie Andrews, 'Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens' I cant help smiling everytime I hear this timeless number. Music is a proven remedy for depressions. There is no better way to fall asleep than hearing a favourite number. ipods are indeed a boon to the present generation!

Dear sunkan
cheenikum is the last hope of every senile chap like me! Incidentally, what a classic dress sense Tabu has! But then I realise the futility of feeling jealous about Amitab. I remember how the girl contestents used to swoon over him in Kaun Banega Crorepathi and I always kept a bottle of Gelusil with me whenever I watched that programme!

Dear Induslady
The 'usually reliable sources' tell me that it is a great honour to receive a feed back from Induslady herself!
But after reading about your having to spend long hours trying to grapple with the problems of the site, I feel sad at not being able to be of any help whatsoever. I wish there is some way by which some of us could share your burden.
IL has given us an identity and in the evening of my life, I have found a new meaning to my existence through my interactions with ILites. I feel as if my clock has been put back by a couple of decades. I owe a lot to IL and I do hope there is some way I can repay my debt

Dear Chithra
First time I am hearing that lullabies are needed right through our life!
But the songs you mention show your class. For a moment when you warned me of a second post, I was worried that you might say that songs like Thimisu Kattai and Vaazha meenukkum, vilangu meenukkum kalyanam put you to a peaceful slumber!
Rabindra Sangeeth has a tranquilising effect on our mind. Subir Sen and Hemanth dada are my great favourites. Gazals of Gulam Ali and Jagjit have a profound effect too!
If Music be the food of love play on!

Dear Sowmi
The Murphy's law states that the one who snores the heaviest is the one that falls asleep first! But then the snoring of a hubby could by itself be a lullaby!
I avoid seeing the news channels before falling asleep. Last time when I saw the news that a eighty year old man got married to a 28 year old girl, I could not sleep the whole night and I had to consume half a bottle of Gelusil to put down the flame in my stomach!
Browsing IL is certainly a very soothing pastime particularly when people praise me!

Dear Malathi
No one can deny the effect of good music on a restless soul. I always listen to music when my mood is upset. But then what goes in the name of music succeeds only in raising our passions these days! Songs like Kaatrin Mozhi and Katril Varum Geethame, en kannanai ariyayo are an exception. Do you know, I can sing Kaatrin Mozhi song reasonably well!
But still, my PG W is my greatest ally and the sheer quality of his English is enough to set my mind at rest. I do watch M.Masala from time to time to get myself in a 'bad mood' so that I can run to PG W or my music to ease my mind!

Dear Sathya
Glad to hear that you are a fan of Dennis like me though I like the indulgent Mrs Wilson better. I dont have a wall of books around me but I do have a collection that can be read more than once! There are any number of books like Churchill's War Memoirs to induce instant sleep and there are books like Arabian Nights which have the same effect as M.Masala. There is no greater way to fall asleep than listening to a favourite musician through an iPod.
But nothing can be equalled by the endearing words spoken by a loved one in soothing our retless mind!
