Triggers of Hibernation....!

As I am out of my hibernation mode this morning...thoughts about this mode which paralyzes me on and off occupied my whole mind.

There are days when I would sit up from my bed in the early hours of dawn to babble some feedbacks or start a new thread. There are mornings I would wake up humming my favourite song, words eating up my brain to be typed, that as soon as I wave bye to my DH at the lift and run to switch on my PC. There are days when I spend in IL from morning till night only attending to basic necessities like nature calls and feeding my son, even ignoring calls from dear friends. There are days of euphoria having received a special pm from special friends at IL, then continuing with PMing almost the whole afternoons. As a dearmost friend (read as worst critic) put it recently...there are days when I walk IL, talk IL and breath IL.

Contratry to the above there are days when I would just log in and just refresh the new posts page and view on only the threads...not even reading the threads. There are days when I see the thread of wishes to my ILite friends' Birthdays, yet cannot move my fingers to the key board to type my heartfelt wishes and I just pray silently for them and leave the posting part for later. There are days that I see the photos of gorgeous ILites and meetups and I dont have the patience to read their wonderful write ups. There are sinful days when I even could not move my lazy bones to reply to the kind hearted souls who have dutifully commented their feedbacks in my threads and blogbonk. There are days I read PMs from friends and leave them without replying. Then there are days I spend only reading a particular sub forum and relishing the nectars from the posts. Slowly I move my attention to read other sub forums. I slowly open my lazy eyes and move my fingers from my mouse to the keyboard. I start off again with giving 1 liners as FBs with my favourite song in my iTunes, before plunging myself vehemently from giving lengthy FBs to endless blabbering like the one your reading now.

I reminisced this now familiar pattern again and again...and ended up doing a research as usual and came up with the triggers of my hibernation. I know, my long suffering friends, that you are Rant for starting my blabberings but where else than with my ILite friends can I do this? .

The well known living beings that hibernate like bears, chipmunks, bats, squirrels etc have a opoid like substance in their blood called Hibernation Induction trigger.( Now researches are being conducted to extend the use of HIT to aid in organ transplants and NASA astronauts during the space mission. Hmmm...out of context again...yeh?!) This HIT is still a mystery which induces the mammals to hibernate usually during the winter. (I thank my darling son Abhishek for prividing me with his young scientist magazine to help me with this post.)

Now do I have a HIT in my blood? In humans one research says that a hormone called melatonin, a tranquilizer, make us to be walking hibernators. If that is so the melonin triggers of me would be emotional counterparts of my feelings like love,loss, anger, sadness, happiness, tears, hugs, kisses, envy, passion etc. The triggers of nostalgia also play as the triggers of my hibernation.

If I think deeply I have all the symptoms that a squirrel that would experience during its hibernation phase.

* I am completely inactive yet I am alive.
* I indulge in normal activities like having food etc and even catch some sleep.
* My rate of metabolism goes in negative value ( it is stand still at 0 since I hit 30Rant)
* My hibernation period is strongly seasonal, similar to the winter hibernation of my fellow mammals.
* Yes I do binge on fatty foods and store layers of fat just before the HIT hits me.
* I become too emotional and restless in my pre-hibernation days.
* I feel too energetic, starting numerous threads and sending countless FBs and humming more than 3 songs a day and posting the lyrics too
* Then I lie low and then spring back to action again.


And my inquisitive mind wonders...am I the only ILite who zips through hibernation or are there any fellow ILites who feel like me? Do share your patterns here dears!

Oh....I am going on a whirl wind project of giving FBs and replies now, that I am back from my hibernation, humming this lovely song...

அனல் மேலே பனித்துளி .....அலைபாயும் ஒரு கிளி ..
மரம் தேடும் மழைத்துளி...இவை தானே இவள் இனி...
இமை இரண்டும் தனிதனி...உறக்கங்கள் உறைபனி...
எதற்காக தடை இனி....!
(Dear friends, somebody help me to translate this please. )
Glad to be back here and see to all again!

Welcome back, Abhi..from hibernation!
Me too experience the same symptoms, on and off and I blame it on menopause..nowadays..but from now on I can blame it on HIT!
As now it is spring..spring into action...the winter is over..abhising!
Regarding the translation...mm..i can do that transliteration...but with the meaning in it...should wait ..ok.

Hey Vijee,

Glad to see you again!

Let me come to your reply from the last.. This is not my translation.. i googled it!( because i got anxious when you asked the meaning)...

anal mele pani thuli---------------------------Dewdrops in fire
alai payum oru kili ----------------------------A wavering mind
maram thedum mazhai thuli---------------Raindrop searching for a tree
ivai dhaane ival ini ----------------------------She is all these from now on

imai irandum thani thani --------------------Like the eyebrows are separate
urakkangal urai pani -------------------------Sleep has been frozen
edharkaga thadai ini -------------------------Why the need for barriers now?

A wonderful song from the movie Vaaranam Aayiram.. i did not quite like this movie.. but this song is really beautiful!

Okie.. now let me join your club of "Triggering Hibernation".. But i feel i need more motivation than any of the Ilites here.. I have as you said those sinful days more than the wonderful days of replying to feed backs or starting a new thread...

I sometimes would not feel like visiting the forum.. Then i would stick on to Blogs... But there has never been a day without visiting IL!!!

My daily routine starts with a cup of coffee and gmail and IL!!! I cannot imagine the days before i joined IndusLadies.. What did i do in the mornings?? Lazy Afternoons?? i really have no idea..!!!

Good post Vijee... This is a common Symptom of melatonin that are present in every human being.. So cheer up...

Dear Vijee
Nice post so you are comparing your moods with the hibernation
My morning starts with coffee and IL peep...........hahaha
ya sometimes i get moody that time i don't post much just read and go off.

Dear Abhi,
I think most of us go thro hibernation , some accept it and some fight it. Again it is due hormones

Enjoy yourself even if you are hibernating or in active style. Even during the act of hibernation our mind is active only body don't respond well.

a beautiful post .

Dear VJ

Thanks for enlightening me that I am also hit by HIT ;)
I will click that "new posts" umpteen times a day.
I love Book lovers sub forum, which I often visit....

I want to share a thing dear, one of my friends registered in IL long before I did, but she did not aware of the treasure inside. When I persuaded her to look into it again and again, she thanked me after exploring the forums.
This is completely irrelevant to the thread, but I want to mention that, even simple browsing will give useful results in IL :)

dear vijee

Dear BigB,

Thanks for being here and lovely words.

I blame it on PMSDrowning. I read an interesting fact that during the pms days women tend to get minor kitchen injuries like cutting their fingers, small burns etc....and when I think deeply, I find that it is true. What do you think?
(After reading that when DH scolds me for not being careful and getting the burns in the hands...I blame it on PMS and cite the newspaper article as evidence. Nice escape)

There is no season here Bhargavi. Everyday has 4 seasons.....Rant. Thank you for the warm welcome.

Hiya Pavi...

You are really cute. Thanks for the translation. Nice song isn't it?

First the Barbie Fan Club and now the HIT club.
Interesting to read about your BIL and AIL days. For me sometimes, I just could not keep myself from logging in., sometimes I do not visit at all.

Your replies have cheered me up , no doubt. Thank you for your wonderful feedback.
