The Joy of small things

There are times when even a cacophony sounds like a melody.
Look at this interesting situation which I experienced today. I always set the alram tone to some sweet tune, so that it should not trouble in the morning.

But then someday you would like to sleep longer, or you couldnot get a sound sleep that night and then alarm is a troubling sound, irrespective of the tune which you set. So, ever came across a situation when you hear the morning alarm and feel very very happy?

I felt it today. I slept quite early last night, woke up before the damn summer sun came up and had a long long morning walk. Just when I returned, the alarm rang. And my joy had no limits at that moment.

This small moment embodied a big victory- a victoy of optimism over pessimism. I knew last night that I'm going to wake up early and I set the alarm accordingly, with a realistic time. I wouldn't have been sad had I woken up with alarm.

And, I got a reward too :-)
I reached office early, blogged this, and started work early.
