Working Like clockwork

My schedule is working like clockwork these days. No sooner I turn my car key on I hear "Good morning. This is NPR news, Washington...." It tells me it is 7.30. I am so tuned to it I don't have to look at my phone or near the dashboard for time. (I have forgotten the last time I wore a watch which is more of a style than a necessity to look for time these days. The desktop, laptop, i-WHATEVER devices do that for you.). My breakfast goes undigested if I miss my morning news on NPR. At the same breath I can say I have taken days off from work but forgotten the last time I took a day off from Facebook. Like clock work come lunch break or back home I used to read a book. Now I surf Facebook. A clock keeps you straight on time but there are instances to prove otherwise. Logic says a broken clock is better than a clock which runs 5 minutes late. At least it shows correct time twice a day. Once in Bhubaneswar Railway station I found the Gauhati-Cochin express arrive on time. Upon enquiry I found it exactly a day late. But the huge clock at the station told that the arrival time was correct. But nobody can defy the ultimate truth. TIME (not the magazine) waits for none.
