Sleeping through Turbulence. --- If each of the uncanny X-men have his/her own special powers – I too, have one! It’s this ability to sleep through turbulent skies. I have 2 data points to support this claim. One was a plane ride from Japan, and the other, a plane ride from LA. My seat-mates in both flights asked the same question: “How on earth can you sleep through that?” Through what? I didn’t even know. I’m not sure if this special power came with the genes. But I do know that my Father sleeps a lot. It’s his thing to do on Saturday afternoons, the time between getting home from work till dinner, and well, most of his holidays. Now, this special power has some manifestations in other circumstances. One example was a time when I got my Mother upset because I was “Too cool”, about something that she was quite ‘frantic’ about. She didn’t know that I have this special power. One day she will understand.
