Just another day…

Just another day in the life of an S/W engineer……

The alarm continuously blared, deafening my ears

Not just once, twice, but thrice

Perhaps to indicate the sunrise

Lazy enough, I woke up reluctantly

Putting an end to an unfurnished dream

Presto!! It was 7.15 am, I had to scream

In attempt to run the daily chore

Took a toothbrush in one hand and a bath robe in the other

I realized it was time to take a shower

Time was racing ahead, while I was busy

Searching for the iron-crease pant, shoes and socks, all scrambled

I wonder at times, why these things couldn’t be ‘google’d

Just in the nick of time, got hold of my office bus

Managed to spot a window seat

To catch a glimpse of nature’s treat

Minutes passed, Time Elapsed

I found myself in front of a PC

Thinking how this gadget drives me crazy

Checked my inbox, only to learn that I was flooded with mails

Eventually lost myself in the world of Code reviews, Bug fixing, Meeting Deadline…

But what I have actually lost is only a fair amount of hairline

My computer screen clocked 1 pm, it was lunch time

Endless delicacies were lined up to treat the taste buds

But an elite crowd felt the real delicacy lies only with the cigarette buds

Eyes were begging for a quick nap, courtesy: heavy lunch

Alarmingly, my boss buzzed me, time for a client meeting

In other words, a war minus shooting

After a much deserved tea break

I composed myself to work on the pending task

What really posed like a daunting task

At 10 pm, tiredness and stress got the better of me

Long hours and stuck in the confines of my bay

I pushed myself to call it a day

The alarm continuously blared, again

Wish the day could be a Sunday

But the calendar read “Thursday’

Just another day in the life of an S/W engineer……
