6 a.m…..Chirp Chirp

Hello Friends! I am the heart of Mr. Go Getter. Well not only is his name like that but he is a Go getter since his childhood days. Yes, born to get what he wants in life, a super achiever.

My job is to keep him going no matter what his pace of life. Every day I beat for more than 100000 times at the rate of close to 70 times a minute. Well, I don’t need a thank you or a clap because I have been made to do so, made to give out oxygenated blood to every part of his body through this complex structure. I still remember the day he was born and I used to beat for 90-120 times a minute, well I think I was all excited then. The realities of life were yet to set in.

Mr. Go Getter gets up everyday at around 9 a.m… so much for a healthy life. But yes I have to exercise harder when he is resting. I have to work twice as hard as the leg muscles when they are sprinting. How does it matter to him till he is able to breathe properly every morning?

9 a.m… Ting tong

Well here goes the alarm. Good morning errrr should I say afternoon? Now he will wash his face and pour his daily cup of tea with his daily morning review of his investments in the newspaper. And now begins the hardwork for me, everday his investments go up and down giving me a torrid time. For God sake will the markets calm down anytime soon? How many times should I ask him to stop that short term speculation….

10 a.m… Beep Beep

The guy used to be a sales guy 15 years back and his wayward driving has not improved since, giving me sleepless moments everyday. Oops, he almost killed that old woman … Nutcase can’t you just slow down? This is not your old bike that you keep weaving it from left to right, at least keep the car scratch less for one day ! God, why don’t you just take away his license?

11 a.m… Morning Huddle Meeting

Partner, why don’t you just chill today? Give your team a break from the daily ear testing, yes, when you shout their ears get cleaned up. By the way, I forgot to tell you that most of your subordinates have decided to spend some money on cotton, at least their ears will be protected from the high pitch yelling!

12 p.m… Cigarette break

Every day after the meeting, he goes and smokes. He says that it relaxes him and that is to keep him from the relentless stress. Well, it hurts here. But I have to keep working, you know why? I have to keep the oxygen going to all parts through the blood. This wretched nicotine…it’s killing me! This does not stop till he goes to sleep every night.

1 p.m… Yippee! Lunch time!

Thank God he learnt from his colleague who recently died of a heart ailment. These days it’s less of fat and more of those fruits, vegetables, bread, cereals and grains. But his past lifestyle was pathetic. In the run for money, he forgot about his diet regime and stuffed in those filthy, oily stuff at awkward times. 5 o’ clock was lunch and 1 a.m was dinner!

2 p.m another meeting and cigarettes….
4 p.m… Tea time

Well this is the local tea stall owner’s business time. He and his colleagues will get together to do some daily business analysis, a little bit of complaining about the boss and the company and philosophizing about life and how meaningless it has become… How boring! Why don’t you do something about this Mr. Go getter…? It’s high time!

5 p.m… Conference call

Well this is the time Mr. Go getter goes nervous… Everyday all the sales heads get together from around the country to report their sales figures to their boss. Well this is what he lives for, thrives on. The daily high he gets from getting those numbers. Sometimes he feels dejected and those negative emotions begin to flow. Let me tell you, when he sulks it is only a facial expression of what I go through on the inside.

6 p.m to 9 p.m …. Cigarettes … Cigarettes… and more Cigarettes!!!

Life is going out in a smoke!

12 a.m….End of day!

Go baby go! Go baby go! 99990! 10 more to go for the day! Well these days it’s getting difficult for even me to keep going. But I have to do it that is why they say I am the lifeline!

Well let me leave you with a thought. I am not working aimlessly. The creator when he created Mr. Go Getter had ordained certain number of days for him and I have been ordered to work only till then! I have been given a time frame, not a minute more and not a minute less!

A day will come when the creator will ask me to stop! Till then I will keep going! Hope this Go Getter understands this! He might not acknowledge my presence but not acknowledging the creators presence is a cardinal sin! Because the time is ticking!

Dhak Dhak!
