I have an LG 2030 Reliance cell. This handy gadget replaces many pieces of electronics in my room. I use it as a calculator, alarm clock, calendar etc. Sometimes I use it to call people also. Every morning at 6:30 am this device sends out some horrible vibrations through the air. I, snuggled in my blanket, receive it and, as a reflex action, snooze it.
I thank technology for the snooze button. I think its the biggest achievement in the human history since digital watches (which are a pretty neat idea). It can stop time (which was thought to be impossible by my good friend Einstein). I get up and go to the bathroom in night-of-the-living-dead-zombie style. Switch on the geyser and back to bed. Every minute spent sleeping in bed (alone or otherwise) is a minute worth spent.
In sometime, I hear the doorbell ring. I can safely ignore it. I know its the maid and I know that my good-boy roommate will get up and open the door. But sooner or later (mostly sooner after the thrird snooze) I have to get up. The first thing that I do is to check if the fan is spinning. If its not, it means that there is no power and I dont have to take a bath ("Bath in cold shower??? ARE YOU CRAZY?????"). In that case, I can sleep for some more time.
But not always I am that lucky. Most of the times I have to take a bath. Before that I grab the Bangalore Times and read it over the toilet. Maybe this is too much information for some but since this is probably the best part of the whole day, I have to document it here. Garfield, Archie, Beetle Bailey, Calvin and Hobbes and Animal Crackers. This makes me feel optimistic about the day.
For some time now, I am planning to put up a list of things that can "Make my day". Getting the right combination of hot and cold water in the shower is one of them. Sometimes I think that proving (or disproving) P = NP is much more simpler than getting the water temperature right in the shower. I am going to make an embedded device with 32-bit processor and a good genetic algorithm to solve this problem once and for all. This idea is patent pending.
As I am a (full-featured) male, I dont have to spend more than 5.4327 seconds to decide what I am going to wear. Jeans (unwashed for atleast 3 weeks) and Tee. Tee is not ironed so a jacket over it. A few frisks of a deo (which apparently attracts opposite sex) and I am ready to go!
Yours Sincerely,
