Murphy's Law

why does your mobile phone ring when you are driving? Why does the door-bell ring when you are in the bathroom? why are you urgently required when you are on a leave? Why does your boss calls you when you are sitting with your date? Why does traffic jam occur when you are getting late for the office?
Well, I always wonder that why do these,so called, wrong things happen to us almost daily when we are least expecting them to happen. And it happens to each one of us, for some this has become a part of daily scedule and for others its sporadic. But the fact remains the same that however hard we try to come up with a reason for such occurances we are unable to get any concrete reasoning behind it.

Lately, something simiar happened with me.

this weekend, after some persuation from my friend I aggreed to have a bout with alcohol....things looked pretty normal and I was very excited because after some long gap I was having it, looked like some birthday party during my college days. After excessive drinking we all surrendered to our beds, hoping that the next day will come with some more independence and celebration.
Next day, I was woken up by the irritating ring tone of my cell phone, Some Prakash Patil was on the line. And before I could gather all my energy and concentration to understand what he wanted from me, he almost cried and begged for his child's life. Actually he wanted me to donate some blood in order to save his 13 yrs old son. He got my number from some Blood Bank, and he immediately wanted me to come down to a hospital near by. I immedaitely agreed to do him this favour, and promised him about my presence within haif an hour.
After he hung-up the phone something immediately struck me, that yesterday I had an excessive round of alcohol, which means I can't donate blood for next 72 hrs.....O Shit! what have I done? and I had to gracefully say sorry to Mr Patil, regarding my inability to contribute to his child's cause. He almost cursed me right at the moment for commiting such a henious crime. And I was ashemed of myself.

Later while introspecting things I just got this answer that ... 'something which has to go wrong will go wrong. So there is no point cribbing' .... (although I could console myself, but I am still worried about that child, god-willing Mr Prakash must have someone else to do him this favour and child must have been saved.)

But I have strongly started to believe that there is no point in cribbing about whatever is going wrong in your life, because life is like that!

So if the next time if your phone rings while you are driving just pick it up without cursing the person who called you. Or if you are in bathrom let the person on the door wait for some more time until you are done.

Afterall Murpy's Law also states the same - Something which can go wrong will go wrong!

Life is like that......

Life is like that


Sit by night think of life
get the feeling that its not going right
having trouble finding what it is
its all going strange for no reason

lifes been sweet, lifes been strange
times of pain and acts of fortune
have all been part and played their tale
game of life has caged the smile

stars are shining so in the moon
darkness transcended all over the space
love is smilin so is she
sadness filled in every bit of me

shaky hands with tears filled eyes
wait for comfort in ocean of pain
only companion cold cold rain
washes my mind of all its pain

wind blows by across the ears
bringing cold waves of sin
warmth is spread by a hand on my shoulder
or is it a trick of mind over matter

still thinking of who made this happen
how did the kite of life get stuck over a flower
no fault of mine none of hers
may be thats life and love is like that!

Extra Income......how?

hi all......recently I was thinking of making some extra income......afterall the software job is not enough to make you live the way you have been living in the college days. Moreover you all know my lavish way of living.....so guys need some help from you all regarding the same.

I know that - money will earn money, and this is the latest mantra for earning money, but how should one proceed with this.........I tried certain things....but still waiting for that ultimate panacea.

Firstly, I tried to teach some students.....it started well but I guess this is a raw business....and you can earn only if you can become a ful-timer......moreover there was a problem that ppl expected that I should come down to their place to deliver my lectures......and thats difficult! and at the end of the month you get some 4k to 5k after teaching around 30-35 hrs each month........which means that if you can devote around 1 hr per day you will end up earning 100/-.......minus the petrol and time you spent........so that was not exciting.

second, I tried to get into the multilevel marketing......but thats a total bull-shit.......you always keep looking for new customers.......and this really gives a very bad impression on the person you are trying to persuade.....and the chances are that he will start avoiding you......so guys, I am telling from my personal experience that you should never get into such a thing........this really sucks.

lastly, and the most recent idea which has come into my mind is spending some money in Shares......but right now I am not much into it.....just starting........with some inputs from my friends who have also started just now and they are able to give only innocent suggestions........so the biggest problem with me right now is to get started......moreover I want to invest partially in long term and partially for short term.......say 40% in long term and 60% for short term.........and also there is one more constartint.......I can spend a maximum of 5k each month........so how should I proceed?

and before I end this ....... can you suggest me something better for earning something extra.

hope to hear from you all.
bye!

2nd May 2005

Suppose you are in Bangalore, and you are sitting idle.....what will you do.......chances are that you will tune to FM Radio 91.....thats the most happening thing here in Bangalore.....I won't be out of place if I say that FM Radio is a part of all the Bangalorean's daily life..............you might be getting an impression that today I am in a mood to promote this channel.....but I guess I am not right person to do so, nor do I have such an appeal.....so here is the reason for all this ..... this morning I got was as usual listening to it and suddenly a survey question popped up........who is more possessive.......your father.....your brother.....or your boyfriend..?

well, I tried to delve into things and came up with my own answer and it reasoning..............in my opinion boy-friends are more possessive for their relation......and the simple reason I can give is from my personal experience with such a relation long time back.

we generally are into a habit of taking our relations with our parents and siblings for granted....and thus we never have any kind of insecurity.......but when the same comes to the relation with a girl who is not from our world, instead we try to achieve her......there comes the feeling of losing her.....and we are always into a process of reinforcing things........but somehow the fear remains.......and this brings the possessiveness.........

I don't know if the same applies to you all or not, but it has happened to me.......and I firmly believe that every romantic affair brings in you a taste of possessiveness......thats for sure!
