THE LUCK THAT FOLLOWS. EVERYWHERE.
Aaah! (Relieved) The feeling is; after getting back to my laptop to write something after ages!
And to put the blame on somebody rather something, the list is topped by none other than my *not so* good, not even okay-ish, or simply- depressing college. The time it takes me to be there and leave from there to be back home, kills me 80 percent! SIGH! Anyway, I’m no more in favor of talking rubbish about anything.
Lately I realized that luck actually plays a vital role in life happenings. As we all know, or we believe that success, career and everything materialistic i.e. the product of any plan in our life; depends on luck. But what about the everyday happenings that occur? Those? Do they actually happen according to luck? Or they happen because they are meant to happen? I’m lost with the answer.
Since last 3 years, while tripping to college, (read travelling; because travelling for more than 140 km every day, is not less than a trip!) we’ve never been fortunate enough to reach on time. Although we don’t intend to enter college at sharp 8:40, sit at the first desk and attend the first lecture, FULLY; still; even when we really were in need to be present there on time, we never made it.
This is usual, as you must be thinking. But then even I’m not dumb enough to write about my reaching late to college. SERIOUSLY, I’m not! The thing I’m trying to express here is the LUCK FACTOR. Okay! So try experiencing this thing. You have to be present at sharp 9, which is 20 minutes post the commencing of college, you get up at 6, get ready by 630 then sit in your car by 7, and finally start your 60 km trip. Applying the basic math equation and formulae, 60 km is covered in 2 hours by the speed of mere 30 km/hour; which a small car also does! So, 2 hours is enough for you to reach your destination 60 km away, not considering the external factors of accidents, traffic jams, delays and weather problems. And when some incident like above occurs, it takes another 10-15 minutes additional. Not more than that! But these things don’t occur every day. Or even if they do, they don’t happen ALTOGETHER!
BUT, in our case, they do. ALL THE TIME! Moreover whenever we have to, HAVE TO reach somewhere on time, everything that leads you to it, falls apart, damages, ends, or some mishap occurs! LUCK you call it. Or rather BAD-EST LUCK! (even though it is not a word, still the feeling is as gross as the word.) And to summarize or put the feeling in words, it is not less than somebody pissing on you. Literally!
The irritation with which I’m writing this piece is inspired by today’s routine. Getting up at 530 am, starting from your house at 630 in the morning, travelling all over Delhi to pick up people and then leaving some few, all cause we have to sit in our exam that starts at 9 am. Even after such *EARLY MORNING* schedule, we ended up reaching at 10 am! That is exactly one hour after the exam started, or rather to say, 15 minutes before the exam ended! Though we did not miss out on our exam, it got delayed, SOMEHOW, with unknown reasons; we still had a roller coaster ride. Starting from car breaking down, then some accident blocking the way, then the IDIOTIC-unreasonable-Delhi-Gurgaon Jams! Everything together. Just to add cherry on the top, it starts raining too! And with cats and dogs raining, Gurgaon comes to a halt!
*LUCK. LUCK. LUCK*. Everything here went on cause of our lethargic luck. See, it doesn’t only make your life project’s product swing according to it; the happenings and little minor things attached too are affected!
So, probably I haven’t really got my answer, but this proof of incident occurring suffices.
