Wake me up – Try, you wouldn’t come near me anymore
The biggest hurdle in my life, nowadays, is not anything that I cannot help. It is not that I don’t pay heed to it. Rather when I want to resolve this quandary, I am asleep. Yes – My problem is my extended, unending slumber. I sleep like crazy. Phones ring, Alarms buzz – but they aren’t good enough to break the harmonious hibernation that I am into. I have tried all that’s in my means. Set the alarm to the loudest degree so that it shrieks as if it is getting raped. But Alas – it only gets raped, but I don’t wake up. The phones ring (again in the loudest decibels and the speakers get rattled), as my loyal friends duly follow my instructions and try calling me to get me going in the morning. They get frustrated and I am still sleeping. I have tried removing curtains and let the sunlight directly beam into my face and I guess even the sun gets frustrated. I simply don’t wake up. Things weren’t like this before. Even 6 months before, I could be up by 10 in the morning. But now, I come out of this hibernation only at noon. Once I am up, I am in a state of shock as I am terribly late to the office. And then in order to refurbish the damage and to get to know the extent of it, I depend on my understanding colleagues. I assess the damage and make my next moves. When my roomie was around, he once abided by my request of waking me up and got kicked in the wrong place at the desired hour of the morning – His only blunder was that he tried waking me up. Every odd day, I accompany people to the airport, I have functions to attend, I have appointments with the doctor or I get caught by the cops and many such absurd reasons that attribute this delay. Lies – lies – lies. I have been living on them since the very first day of my existence. But someday, this would change and I believe in that. As of now, I only hope that, that day comes around soon.
