The clock said as 5:59 am, and here i was wide awake and smiling. Confused ?? Me too. While on the usual weekdays, I hate opening my eyes even after the clock alarm goes on announcing it as 6:00 am, today's a whole lot different. I can feel something is different today.I can smell victory in this chilled morning air of Bangalore. These two days - Saturday and Sunday, I win comprehensively. Still more confused ?? Bear for a while more.....will explain. But for the moment there's some unfinished task in hand.
There !!! I can hear it !!! The sound increasing with every passing moment. I think of laughing out load, and doing a jig, but spare a thought for my roommate who is still sleeping and refrain from doing so. Poor chap !!! He does not even know, that history is being re-written with every passing moment ! Well, moving away from such trivial issues, I concentrate on the job in hand. I move slowly, waiting for the right moment to strike. There it is, in my full view, oblivious of the fact, that fate has different plans for it today. With its wailing at it's peak, i pounce on to it, as a hungry tiger pounces on its prey. With one swift stoke i press on the 'Stop Alarm' button. Done. The hunter is hunted today.
Mental asylum ?? If you are thinking that, you are dead wrong. Welcome to the extra-ordinary morning of an ordinary IT guy. For full five days, my alarm decides when i should wake up. It dictates me, and invades my freedom. I full five days, i keep mum about all the unfair treatment meted out to me, just waiting for my chance. I believe in my heart, that after every pitch black night, there comes a bright morning. And it comes, and how !! Today, i am the king. I savour the sweet aroma of victory, which happens to be in the air, for a while. I decide the timings today, not the mean, heartless, dominating machine, which takes away a bit of independence from my life, everyday. I settle my whole week's scores in the two days that I get. Having settled my scores back, I feel a little tired. All my energy which i had kept for this specific moment seems spent. I pull the sheet and go off for yet another round of sleep. This time knowing fully well, that it would be more fulfilling.
Yes it's worth reading!
