The relaxed and dreamy night ended with the glimmering rays ambushing me on my face. The alarm rang and was snoozed thrice. "Oh God it was 8:30 am, how would I reach Office", was the first thought stirring my mind. The fat angry picturesque view of my BOSS loomed before me. I look like a small lamb ready to be eaten by a lion. Nice view of the morning was not soothing the eyes anymore. I open my Hotel's window and rushed to rest room to get ready. I was supposed to complete a task in the morning before reaching office. I had some stupid mail-in-rebate forms to be filled. Moreover there were some cheques to be sent to bank. Lots of stuffs to be done and how could I get up such late. There are 30 times in month that I vow to wake up at six and dream of a routine.
Well shower was pouring the mollifying hot water to burn off my anxiety but mind is powerful enough be make me tense as much as possible. I was in hurry of everything. I had to reach office and do the work before the Boss ask me any updates. I was praying to god to make him late. Why don't I hear often in America-" My tire punctured". I was trying to give god some wonderful ideas to save me. "This is the last time god I am asking for any help" was a recursive string bring uttered. There had been millions of "last times" for one or the other thing.
The lush white marble of my bath tub may have not liked my prayer and colluded with the soap lather to make the place frictionless. Suddenly, their conspiracy resulted in my dis balance and the only support was the white curtain, which could not bear my burden. The white strong wall of the bath tub directly plunged into my ribs just below my sensitive heart.
The reflexes in the form of tears did not wait for even a minute to usurp me from any logical state of mind. Some how I came out and managed to go to the office on time. I took a half day off and went to Emergency. Finally after x-ray I got to know that I have fracture in Ribs.

nice post...something which happens in my life too often..:). two things we need to learn from this post tho'.
1. Fear acts as a motivation sometimes. Which is quite a surprising discovery i found. We fear bad name, so we act accordingly. We should never fear anything - if we are very sure about ourselves and our commitments. But as a human being, we all are taught to live with fear rather than facing it in the eye. When we learn to challenge our own fears, we automatically, develop the courage to fight it too.
2. Acceptance of one's weakness is first step taken to correct it. We realize the implications of not getting up on time. We ourselves "know" what is right and wrong. But still the mind tempts us to behave like a brat and keep getting up late. A human body needs just 8 hours of sleep or even less. We can use our times effectively and productively by cutting down on our sleep. But the resistance to fight that weakness is too strong. The comforting nature of the bed is too good for the body.. or we assume so.
So effectively, by such happenings, nature teaches us to be good students/listeners - To listen to one's own body. When it says - it's high time you start getting up on time rather than taking the everyday morning stress...we must obey it :).. after all we have only one body to care for .. till our very end..
I really appreciate the above comment and most of it is true ..Thanks ..
