A Marvelous Morning

A Marvelous Morning

How many times have you had exactly the kind of morning you wanted to have ?

By all standards of skepticism/optimism/pessimism I have had none.

Until today.

Yes, work begins at 8.30 am and people at office are not actually strict about timings. Nevertheless, the dirty and oh-u-come-at-this-time look is not very welcoming even for people who are comfortably apathetic. I am an apathy aspirant. So, that surely is not the look that I want to get and hence I generally tend to be 'punctual'.

That being said, I will explain my morning.

"Tee Tee tee Teeeeeeeeeeee teeeeeeeeeeeee tee tee tee. Tee Tee tee Teeeeeeeeeeee teeeeeeeeeeeee tee tee tee. " - went my cell which was in its last stages of battery life. I got up and realized it was just half an hour since I hit the bed and all my forethought into deliberately keeping an alarm in a cell almost devoid of battery charge so that it wont wake me up - was some really inane estimation ! It was just 6 am and I had gone to bed at 5.30 am.

Err... If by any chance you are thinking what a busy life I have been living, then please correct your assumption. I was watching a movie till 3.30 am and chatting till 5.30 am about topics which I really do not remember. 

This came to my mind in a flash and I realized it is not worth getting up at 6 am. So, I acted as if I never heard the alarm ( but y did I act ? I live alone and neither am I capable of being questioned nor am I answerable to anyone). Still.

When I next woke up my TV was still ON, showing the same ad (of Sharukh about Airtel's concept of earning Rs 5 crore being easier than passing 5th standard ) that comes every 10th minute on Star World.! I slowly tried moving and just found out my cell was as dead as a DODO. The equation that defined the curve that my lip took was a smooth and broad parabola open upward. I realized I would have been unreachable for anyone who tried to contact me and hence I am not the "call ignore-r". Then, I strained hard and tried seeing the time on NDTV ( without my specs, I barely distuingish numbers these days). It was a romantic 12.35 pm. 

That I actually slept through the entire morning was giving me inexplicable and ineffable joy. Not that I have never woken up at 12.35 pm or later, but that today is a working day and I am actually expected in some other place and still I was in my bed in my night clothes was the source of all the pleasure. Slowly trying to turn around, I realized I had to wash clothes before going to office. 

TV in full volume, not a soul to question my sluggishness and the arrogance of a impending unpunctual attendance - these drove me to finish my morning chores at a decent pace. I returned to my room only to find yesterday's F.R.I.E.N.D.S and Seinfeld just starting on TV. Wow.. :-)

I watched these sitcoms and simultaneously  groomed myself rather nonchalantly and left my room. The moment I stepped out of my apartment complex, I got an auto to my office. Generally, I need to walk about 400 m to get one. As I got in, I got calls from two-three friends and hence I dint even get impatient about spending time in the signals. And when I reached office I understood that the Auto Meter had been going slow because the auto guy asked me for the same rate I usually pay (though I got an auto without walking the 400 m distance. :-) ... )

With iPod full blast in my ears, I pressed the lift button and the next second the lift opened. (Trust me, this only goes on to show there is a probability that Murphy's law will fail. The lift which otherwise takes at least 300 seconds to stop in your level, today takes just 1 second. This is a clear exception of Murphy's).

Its 1.40 pm and I walk in to the office with an air of indomitable rudeness :-) ( I tend to walk like that now-a-days.... me dragging my leg a little too much is being perceived like that.). All these people who give me the "looks" are now lunching and I have no one looking at me.

I am simply awed by the sequence of events and realize that I have to blog on this.

QED.
