Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached!!....What??

PART 1:
It's a Sunday evening and I try to mentally prepare myself for a long week ahead with a whole lot of mundane activities in the offing.Being in a contemplative mood, I ponder over my daily routine.Things are going smooth but there is one thing that I need to change about myself and that is the way in which I start my day.I wake up quite......well to be honest really late and then get ready and buzz off to office.It gets pretty late by the time I return home after sitting in the front of a computer, punching keys and clicking a mouse throughout the day.This leaves no time for recreation and I then make lame excuses for not being able to do things that I wish to do.I touch my belly and realize that it has grown visibly and has taken form of an avuncular paunch!Also, I haven't read a newspaper completely in a long time.I only find time to browse through the sports section!I even need to start preparing for CAT/GMAT etc.Enough!!!I decide I've had enough of this laziness and that I need to wake up early and make good use of the time that I normally spend lying dead in my bed.Swami Vivekananda's words echo in my head....arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached!!
All of a sudden I feel I like a reformed man.I see a bright halo appearing on the top of my head in a virtual mirror of introspection.Wow!I haven't felt like this in a long time.Armed with determination, I pick up the alarm clock that had been gathering dust in a dark corner of my room.This alarm clock hasn't had a great record in waking me up and I don't remember the last time I used it.I takes me some time to decide what time to set the alarm to.Eight am is the earliest I've woken up for some time now but my reformed, resolute self makes me set the alarm to 6:00 am.I place the clock on a table next to my bed and tell myself to follow the its command by waking up it upon its tootling.
I had a blissfully sound sleep through the night.And then came the morning, a morning that will test my resolve.I am in a state of nihilism when the most annoying of noises breaks the calm and rattles the peace around me.I can't precisely describe the noise but if I were to attempt to do so, I would call it an iterative bleep that just doesn't stop.It's as if the clock is determined to shake the lazy monster within me out of its slumber.This lazy monster is a dullard in every sense of the word.The alarm clock's barrage is highly irritating and seems to be succeeding in its focused aim of waking me up as I start writhing in my bed.But the monster isn't going to give up that easily.He has a saviour.....what is it?It is the a small button jutting out from the side of the clock called the SNOOZE button.He makes me reach out to the clock and press the snooze button with a certain amount of urgency.Hah!The clock stops dinning and the monster is at peace again!The snooze button comes to the lazy monster's rescue a few more times after which the clock gives up.
My room is filled with day light and I am forced to wake up.This time the lazy monster gives up.He has had enough.I stretch my arms to squeeze the residual indolence out of my body.Then I am shocked as I look at the clock to learn that it is 9:00 am!I feel terrible about not being able wake up early and rue the time I lost out on but then I console myself by deciding to wake up early the next morning.
PART 2:
It's been a month since that Sunday evening and all I can say is that.....life goes on......and as for the alarm clock....well its batteries drained out some time during the month....I don't remember exactly when!
