"Write about moving quickly and doing things fast."
____________________________________________________
Moving quickly and doing things fast? That would be a daily occurrence in the mornings, where I am in perpetual conflict, my mind chastises my laziness while my body craves for a little more sleep, a little more time spent lingering over coffee conversations and my heart is dreaming about stories. And if I am not able to synchronise my thoughts, dreams and desires, either the lunch which I am helping Mom make suffers or I really have to rush to get dressed to office.
And by rushed, it is really quite hectic; a bath, get dressed, clean up behind (a little, else you come home to find it looking like a cyclone effected zone); pack you lunch, have breakfast (such a tempting thing to miss, which unfortunately has the most disastrous result in the long run), lock up the house and rush to office. All in around twenty to thirty minutes, which makes it very rushed and very hectic.
The strangest thing is that the time I get up does not make much a difference, if I get up early I snooze in the sofa, linger a little longer over coffee or play a little while with my nephew, so that I still get around thirty to forty minutes to get dressed. If I get up late, I anyway have that much time only apart from having to rush through all the other things.
It is a race against time, where despite the paucity of the time, you keep looking at the clock as you try to run along with it, in a futile attempt to beat it.
