Alarm Effect!!!

“Beep Beep”

After fifteen minutes….

“Beep Beep”

     Ohh no!!! Not again the alarm has gone. Yet another day has begun to end my sleep booh hooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! But wait was it the first alarm tht went off or the second or the third :Ooooooooooo Surprised !!! No its not surprising, this is the scenario of my room since I shifted base frm baroda to b’bay and now pretty much in b’lore :DDDDD

     Bak in baroda never ever required any alarm. It wasn’t tht I used to get up early on my own, but the scenario then was tht my alarm requests and timings were fulfilled by my sweetest father. If I wanted to get up at 5:00 am in the morning (too early nowadays), he would call me up by 6:00 coz he very well knew tht I would definitely get up 1 hr after the alarm instructed timings :DDDD But do respect him a lot for being so patient to tolerate and fulfill my varying timing requests. By the time I reached college, I was almost a nocturnal creature so getting up very early wasn’t required.. so my father was slowly relieved of tht burden.

     Once in b’bay thngs took a totally different turn. In b’bay, I was particularly lucky tht I got a roommate like Reshmi. We both used to have sleeping competitions and ultimately I used to be the winner :DD. It was like everynight oops every morning by 2:30 or 3:00 we used to go to bed and were forced to get up by 8:30 in the morning. One of the reasons for this early wakeup was tht IIT mess main brkfast used to b only uptil 9:30 and second was reshmi’s punctual boyfriend (now husband) :DDD.

     After having dosed off in the wee hrs of morning getting up in the morning is a real pain :DDD And Reshmi being committed, had an additional headache tht her boyfriend (now husband) would be in front of H11 (girls hostel) by 9:30 am sharp (not a single minute here or there). Reshmi used to hate punctuality thn for this very reason:DDD

     Before getting cozy in our respective beds we used to keep 2 alarms -- One on mobile and the other on our respective alarm clocks. :DDD So in all 4 alarms to wake us up the nxt morning ufff wht a job man :DDD!! The morning scenario would be something like this :

At 7:00 am – my mobile alarm
At 7:30 am – rehsmi’s mobile alarm
At 7:45 am – reshmi’ alarm clock
At 8:15 am – my alarm clock.

     Even after all these alarm attacks the two gr8 ladies wouldn’t have bothered to even remove the quilt on their face :DDD Finally somehow as ppl say the natural alarm works and finally we both get out lazily by 8:30 am. Once I left b’bay I used to wonder y we ppl used to keep so many alarms and y the hell we wasted so many cells uselessly for alarms :D, coz in the end, everytime it used to be our natural alarms waking us up.

     Once in b’lore scenario was worst. B’lore being a cool place, I never ever felt the eagerness to get up early in the morning. Here also I was lucky to have got sleepy head roomies like kosha tai and Kaajal. Kaajal was the person who could brk records in sleeping. But here I progressed well and could get up at a single alarm beep, set on my mobile :DDD

     Waise now the scenario has changed again (I thnk this is wht ppl say it takes time to adjust out with a place :DD). Now acquainted with b’lore completely and all the more having shifted to 2-sharing room with tazneem (my current roomie) my sleeping traits have started showing off once again :DD. Both of us being fully nocturnal go to bed not b4 1:00 or 1:30 and get up araam se lazily by 8:15. This happenes only after 2 alarms go off 1 hr b4 this scheduled time of 8:15 :DD.

     Sometimes I wonder if alarms wouldn’t have been invented, life would have been so peaceful and we could sleep for long hrs. Sometimes it feels as if I had just slept for 2 mins and the alarm went off and used to wonder sheepishly how come an entire night vanished in just tht small time gap. But then again a small re-thought would prove all this wrong. The important thing to be realized is tht sleep is one of tht important thngs required to lead a healthy life but not the only thng required. I thnk alarms are a good invention to awaken the young generation, majority being nocturnals :DDD Would like to wind up this post with this beautiful quote :

"Live your life to the full,
take every opportunity that arises because you'll have plenty of time to sleep when you are dead"

So once again thnx to alarms :)))))
