My Table Clock

 

My Table Clock

  

Watch this thirty second video on my alarm clock. You should notice that the seconds hand has stopped. Battery is dead. Clock has stopped. I look at this time piece during nights more, than during the day time. Between 10 pm and 6 am, I wake up three or four times to pee. Prostate Problem. And at that time, I invariably look at this clock to note the time: “How long more need I to be in bed?” running at the back of my mind.

 

Last night I got up around 1 am. Looked at the table clock. Something strange. It was showing only 11:45 – just one hour after falling asleep? Worried, I went back to resume sleep. Second time I got up, I stared at it, as it was still showing same time! Shit! The clock has stopped. Took a torch, went to the hall and confirmed the time was 3:30 am from a larger clock mounted on the wall.

 

I note the time when I wake up for another reason. Something strange – theft, break-in, accident, transformer blast, stray dog biting a stranger  etc could happen,-  there could be some un-decipherable noise / sound etc – and the next day it could become the talk of the neighbourhood. Noting the time to tell police or others will become handy.

 

Talking about this clock, I cannot hide my misgivings. I bought a rectangular piece. Worst buy. You can never read the time easily. One more buyer’s remorse. The next piece I plan buy (for my daughter) will have a perfectly circular face / dial.

 

Talking of dials, if you care to do some Window Shopping online, for wall clocks, you fill come across several interesting inspirational quotes etched on the dial plates. Some I liked are given below:
