As a regular routine I put that alarm to stay asleep.

Because I will probably only travel the slumberland, when I know that I have to face a jolt or hurdle, which will refrain me from sleeping.

It's a ridiculous fact but absolutely true to my human nature, that I only feel challenged or an urge to do something, if I have an opponent. Opponents maybe in any form, health, career, life, people or any da*n thing.

And I wake up only when I am in dire straits. To the extent that I even remember Him , The Almighty also when I am stuck between some things.Maybe taking things for granted or putting it more positively, waiting for deadlines have become my habit. And I will never act till I know that one is hanging on my head. Old habits die hard, and I probably prefer challenges to a meticulous life. I would any day prefer walking that thin rope rather than going the safe way.

Its not that I don't realize that it's a wrong pattern or that I need to be planned. But yet I wait for the finale. The Finale which will come slowly and steadily, giving me portions of time. And as the time will recede slowly from my hands, I will frantically try to grab it. Sigh!, deploring the fact that it was my own doing, I will run around helplessly. Probably do a few acts in haste and sprint the distance, which I could have easily strolled earlier.

At last! Its time…..

As the alarm goes off, I snooze it for another 5 minutes, and with a smug satisfaction I go back to sleep.

I have bought more time!
