Luckless rambles.....

Have you ever wondered why something happens when you least expect it to? Like just when you jump into the shower the phone rings? Or when you just sit down to a blissful cuppa and a sitcom and the darned door bell rings? Why do things happen when they are not supposed to, or when you'd rather not want them to? If things happen the way you want them to then I guess it makes life a lot easier. I believe every single person has something like a luck account which is registered in their name the second they are born and then God or whoever registered it will send a string of luck as and when he pleases which would either mess up the person's life or make his life depending on the amount of luck needed.

I feel some individuals are born rich on luck, the person up above was in a generous mood on that fine day because he woke up on the right side of the bed? And some people like me, who are as lucky as the chicken that dint end up crossing the road, are born poor and die in debt. Looks like the dude up above had a bad hair day on my birthday...

There is a German proverb which says "no one is luckier than one who believes in his own luck". Sometimes its all about riding the wave, when you are given credit for something you did not really work on, it has never happened to me by the way, you tend to believe in yourself and ride you luck until you screw up. If luck knocks only once on your door then I guess ill-luck knocks until you open. You delay and it will crash into your house, riddle your now luckless body with bullets until you are out cold and take its dues. Luck and ill-luck are 2 sides of the same coins. Sometimes you need a lot of luck to end up getting unlucky, ironical ain't it? You wouldn't have been in a position to loose much unless you had been lucky in the first place! Imagine the Greek king ,Midas's plight when everything he touched turned to gold, including his daughter. In your face Midas!

But some people, like me, manage to get unlucky even though lady luck has not as much as even given half a glance forget a wink. Whatever little we have managed to scrap together for the cold hard winter gets blown away by a single night of pubbing and lo behold, I'm a beggar for the rest of the long-freaking-31 day month!! Yeah, it had to be a 31 day month! People say opportunity knocks only once, but why couldn't it ring the god damned bell? I just payed 200 rupees and got it fixed! Why would anybody knock the door instead of ringing it. Old school I guess.

Anyway my warning to all you lucky people out there is, beware! Luck is not a giver, Rather a lender, when your time is up its back to square one amigo! And if it does not happen until you fade into the dark, then you have something coming your way when you reach those gates!!


Until then I'm just sitting, waiting and hoping it works out with Lady Luck. As for you, when god throws those dice, pray and hope they are loaded.

Cheers
