* Tee -Tee -Tee -Te -Te -Tee -Tee -Tee *,    * Trun-Trun-Trun-Trun *,    * Wake Up Sid * 3 alarms, 3 locations, 3 lives - 6 AM. * Tee -Tee -Tee -Te -Te -Tee -Tee -Tee * Deepak who had been awake for past 5 minutes, reaches for his Nokia C3 to turn off the alarm. Sitting up in his sleeping mat, he looks at his wife and children sleeping in peace. With a hopeful smile he turns to his wife and stirs her up, "Aeji, get up. Its past 6 already. The alarm has been ringing for a long time. Get up, I'll be late today." In her sleepy voice she replied, "Hmm.. Its not late I know. I saw you turning off the alarm."
