Alarm Clock

Different designs of alarm clocks are easily found around us, be it in shops, supermarkets or houses, with one and only one purpose, which is to remind us of the forgotten time, to wake us up early in the morning where the sun is about to rise, to pull us back into the reality when we are dreaming, does not matter whether we are at work or in bed. As the time passes, the so called alarm clocks have evolved, which are then no longer much needed in the form of clock, but hand phones, habits or even our dearest, family and friends; for everything comes in handy when it is small enough to carry around, maximize our efficiency, having a great start in the morning. However, as the evolution takes place, the function too has been changed, which is no longer one but more than one. Alarm clock is now part of the bonding tools, where it is used to keep two persons in contact, as what we would say, “Time for bonding”. Daughter wakes the mother up for morning exercises, friend who calls up to make sure the other is awake, a person who would listen to us in the darkest night, when a listener is urgently needed, an adviser we can seek for whenever we hit a dead end. Different types of alarm clocks, different functions, to help us stand up once again in order to face the incoming challenges, to stay by our sides supporting us when we are about to fall, to slap us up from misery so that we can carry on with our lives. Look around us, take a look at the alarm clocks of ours and say, thank you.
