An open letter to my sleep

Dear Sleep,

Come only when I call you. This is highly disrespectful, you coming and going whenever you wish. This is not how a grown-up behaves. We need to learn to cooperate with each other. You know I can’t survive without you and you take advantage of that fact. We have always had such a beautiful relationship, we used to love each other. But, somehow since I came to this city that never sleeps, you have started becoming insecure and possessive. Things won’t work between us if your behaviour does not improve. You need to learn to give me some space. Understand that at the end of the day I am going to come to you, always.

I love you, you know I do. Please don’t ridicule my feelings. I have work, I need to study and with you coming and going as if you own my world, I am in trouble. Understand that you only need to come when I hit the bed and let me go when my alarm calls me.

You are very beautiful and the dreams you give me even more so. But, I will lose sight of your beauty if you hinder in my work. It’s a struggle each and every day, getting up when you don’t want to let me go and staying up late when you keep calling and calling. Learn to respect my boundaries, understand that I have a life. This letter sounds like a scolding because that is how mad I am at you. Now listen, I aim to become a morning person and I need you to cooperate with me for that to happen. Let go of me 6:00 am sharp tomorrow morning.

I have too many complain but instead of fighting, I am writing this open letter to you in hopes that you will understand. Hope to see you tonight.

Love,
Sakshi

40. Not everything deserves a press release!

Image
Press Release is an official statement issued by an organisation sent out to news media to provide information, or to make an announcement. It is written by a communication professional on behalf of the organisation to achieve the communication objective. Press Release is the most basic and frequently used form of writing when it comes to business writing, especially in the PR fraternity. But not all messages need a press release to be conveyed to its target audience. A press release should be appealing enough for a journalist to work on, otherwise, it would just add to the waste. Journalist possibly get various press releases, some don’t even see the light of the day again. So, as communication professionals, we should be able to identify where a press release is needed and where it isn’t.
