Beep!!!!!





Beep …..beep-beep

Another morning….

Sound of my mobile, alarming me that it was time to get up.

(Goes inside the bath room)

Moment I entered, another beep, the heater started……

Came out after completing morning rituals with a half opened eye, again a beep, heater switching off.

Opened my doors to see what’s the temperature outside Beep-beep, the security system clicked in, another beep in while I closed it.

Went in, poured milk and kept in microwave, again after 30 seconds..Beep beep beep, milk is ready.

Went on with the day until I got into the MARTA (Public Transport) again the bus door opened with a Beep.

I showed my card over the reading machine, another beep.

Until I reach the station, it was all beep-beep of people getting in / out and showing there card to card reader. So more beeps

Went to the MARTA station. The card reader again beeped.

The train arrived and doors opened with another beep.

Each station had 6 x 4 total 24 beeps from my compartment itself. 6 doors opened and closed at each station!

Came out, walked to my office, the entrance had a card reader, again a beep.

Took the lift, it opened with a beep, stopped with another and again closed with another beep. For each floor it stopped, beeped at least thrice until I reached 23rd floor.

Went to the cafeteria, the machine required coins, I put them in, and drink is out, again with a beep…

I went to my cubicle, switched on the PC, it started giving beeps .
Then a series of beeps and buzzes from my out look. I was busy searching for mute button my pc. I realized one thing, you cannot mute/ un-mute a laptop (HP) if the logged in account is locked.

Was thinking about how many beeps we pass by everyday which requires our attention and how much attention each beep get ….. from us

Surprise ....Not a very good one


I woke up to a surprise news today! I never thought it would be a surprise.Initially a surprise which didn’t had much effect on me. News, which does not make any effect on you at first while you read it, but makes a deep impression when the thought sinks in. On time you will realize that, it was a very big news and it is really going down the layers of you mind. Making a deep scar, hurting through your heart like an anchor of a ship tearing through the turf of a muddy bottom. One start thinking about why this came as a surprise to you? Then will sort out innumerable reasons for that, but still cannot digest it completely.
I think the expectation plays a big role on surprises. The more you expect, be ready for more surprises. When I say surprises, more of disappointments …. We expect some one to be close or even to consider yourself more than an acquaintance and realizing that it was far too long than what you expected. In this fast world where it is difficult to separate acquaintance, colleagues and friends, we have to be careful on how we make circles. Most of the ones we expect to 'be' turns out to be a passing fantasy rather than a gem of heart. The realization comes hard on one when we choose not to learn from past experiences

I really know that this doesn’t make any sense to any one who reads it but still I am posting this :D. Time roles off and roads diverges, many a times I stand on the verge of a diversion thinking of a glance back with a smile…a little too much to expect… never served, many a times!
