Cheating...... Present Continuous

Trrringgg...... damn the alarm clock. I fumbled up to the off button and turned it off. Alarm clocks cheat you .You are forced to leave your dreams. I wanted to be away from reality for some more time. I glared at it .It confirmed the authentic time, unafraid. I was 10 minutes late for my morning walk. Being a punctual person I did not want to get up after the expected time so decided not to exercise. After all punctuality is a preferred value. I shouldn't cheat on that, should I?

I had around 45 minutes till my next task. I better not waste my time. I turned over, slid under the covers and promptly went back to my dreams couldn't cheat my dreams, could I?

'Shaving ‘day only added to the trauma of time management .I guess I did it yesterday or was it the day before. I ran my finger on my cheek and the short stables told a different story. I am not lazy, somebody has remarked that I have a careless carefree look. So now I have a French beard....I shave...what if ..  it's just half the face. I shouldn't cheat with my looks.

My punctuality has stood the test of time. I have never been caught late. I was always punctual else absent which was 75% of the time. The one thing I Pride myself is about my stint in various organisations I have worked. All of them needed me, they have never kicked me out, I have left because they did not deserve me. I couldn't cheat myself I justified. For me the grass was always greener on the other side Be it work or relation I was forever waiting for the grass to turn green I went out with 4 parallely and was never able to decide which one and  waited for the next one. I can't believe all of them left ... I mean How could they!!! I cheated myself into believing that the next one will bring the spring. Finally now I am growing my own greenery... I cheat with watering though!!!!

At least my friends are real. 500 of them from 12 countries but still faceless. In their Pursuit the faces around me, the real ones, dwindled and became faceless as Facebook. As the number of faces on my Facebook increased, the faces around me decreased but I still held on to 'Faceless Ness', I wouldn't cheat my friends, the virtual ones.

God is witness to the fact that I have never entered the church late. It is either on time or never. Churches have their own   time table unmindful of people like me. It even clashed with my Sunday movie show time. I had to take a stand. I decided to switch God. Internet became my new God. I religiously bowed my head on the alter.. You see.... internet never asked me to be on time so there was no cheating.

Another challenge was my doctor and health. I always go by what I have learnt. Being a very selective listener I only hear what applies to me..... laughter is the best medicine.... then why trouble yourself to a doctor... laugh your way to health. Experience tells me that the best laugh is after you are drunk, time-tested, tried and succeeded method I was so right to replace my doctor with the drinks I drank and laughed and I got rid of everything sadness, stress, troubles and finally friends and money.....but I still laugh to be healthy.

It is said 'where you are in life today is a result of series of decisions you have taken throughout' so here I am today, handling all life situations honestly and not cheating my way in life. I believe very few in the world can be as upright as me.
