Life of an Alarm Clock

Every night one goes to sleep, makes sure to re-set the alarm clock. One has to get up by a definite time. Night passes, sun rises, and the alarm goes...............@#$@#$@#$@#$&*^&*#@!@#$#.

But before it could take its one full breath, a hand (devilish) comes with 1000 eyes searching for it and in the next half second its dead. And this cycle continues every day.


Sounds familiar? I am talking of you only :). Wait wait wait, talking of Us. I am no exception.

That's the life of an alarm clock. Someone (someone because for me it has a life) who works every second throughout the night to make sure that he 'delivers' when demanded....and is killed so sadistically. But still every night we re-set him for the same. And every morning he is killed once again.

What does it reflect? On one hand if we think of an alarm clock, its one dedicated, honest, loyal, selfless creature. Someone who even after being footed, being hit doesn't say anything and keeps on doing what his duty is.

And on the other hand, if we think of Us..........? We use him, day after day, expect it to work without fail and when it works instead of giving it a prize, we hit it hard to silent it.

Strange na? It is not. It's how we are.

We are habituated of using things/people. We want them to work flawlessly without a single failure but when it comes to handling them, when it comes to understanding them, when it comes to rewarding them, we fail we neglect. All we want is that our purpose is served, rest who cares really? There are so many other thoughts that can be mentioned here but deciding to skip it. B’coz I am sure you are mature enough to understand those.

So, next time your alarm clock rings and you have to snooze/kill it, do it but do it with Love.

Though there are few people who manage not to depend on alarm clocks. Yes it’s possible because everyone has a clock inside. Read this interesting post: http://andrewbrunelle.com/?p=167
