@Clock's Tick

Sitting in my room, without anything to do, i looked towards the table clock, toppled right now, gifted by a very dear friend. The table-piece displays the time in digital format and also today's date and day( like mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat, sun ). Looking at it I just wondered what was it for. Was it gifted for some special reason. Did the friend know then, how easily i waste my time. Was it there to remind me every second, not to waste the next one. I say i have nothing to do right now, ironically, i can think, right at this same moment, there is so much to do. There is so so so much to do. How am i gonna do what i want to do if i waste my resources like this. And just when these embarrasing thoughts were crossing ma mind, the flashing colon in the time display ':' appeared as if eyes of the clock, watching me!!! Infact the zero following it seemed to complete the smiley ':o' thus showing surprize. Was the clock surprized at me. Did it know, wat i was going thru inside. It was 22:09 then, and the very next moment, it changed to 22:10. RELAXED!!! I felt. for now the smiley had changed to ':|' showing straight face. Hence no care, no, nothing at all. But something serious had crossed my mind in this moment. Was the clock looking at me this way daily, every instant, every moment. It shows 'THU' as day. I wonder if it was hindi waala 'thoo' at me. Wat is the clock thinking when it changes to ':2', ':3', ':4', ':5', and just when i was pondering this, there was a voice

:| - what r u doing??

me - nothing??

:| - y nothing??

me - i dont have anything to do right now!!

:| - oh! i see! then it is okay, if u got no work, what can u probably do?? okay bye then ( and just then the face changed to ':2', try visualizing the digital '2', its such a wierd look )

me - hey wait wait!!! dont u have any empathy wid me!!

:2 - wat?? empathy?? me?? lolzz!!!

me - hey wait!!

:2 - wait?? u silly!! u dont know kya!! i dont wait for anybody!!!

me - awwwwwww ( crying in one of my friend's style ), i need u, dont go away, i need u!! be my friend, be with me!! plzz!!

:2 - u moron!! i make no friends!!! Not atleast you!!

me - ??!!!!!!! yyyyy??? wat did i do???

:3 - thats the thing buddy, u dont do anything!!! i watch u all day!!! u just so grossly disrespect me!!! how can u think of me being friends with you!!!

me - oh!! wat should i do!!! i didnt mean to hurt you!! its just that m too lazy!!!

:3 - no u r not!!! its just a mental block. You gotta remove it. Will take big effort though, but once removed you can move anything.

me - ohh!!! is it!!! ( like i really care )

:3 - yups!!!

me - can u atleast gimme some tips, how to remove the mental block, how to make more of my time!!! (again, as if i care )

:3 - no buddy, i said i make no friends, u have to help urself to overcome this mental block!!!

me - k then, chalo kuch planning vagarah karta hun.... ( phatte )

and just then, the smiley changed to ':4' , the digital four, thus the conversation ended abruptly, and me still again sitting without any work, without anything to do, no effect of the clock's talk, still watching the clock's tick ( read flashing colon )!!!
