Murphy's Law is what they call it. And speaking after being hit with experience time and again - its one law that can never go wrong. No matter how hard you try - you can go on a date and do an under-the-table sequence with GOD, but if Lord Murphy has planned for things to go wrong, they will!
Instances that reaffirm my faith in Lord Murphy and his Law:
- The lights seldom go off in my society. It's one of those swanky places that make it to the headlines even if there's a micro-mini load shed of 5 seconds. I recently had a show down with the landlord and was moving out with bags and lots of baggage. While shifting, first the lights called it time-out for three whole hours and then the lift decided to call it a day-off. So what if I was shifting out of the 7th floor. Its Murphy man, Murphy!!
- Every noon, the Western line trains are astonishingly empty. Here's a day when I'm wincing with pain due to a bad cheese pizza I devoured the night before. The least I can do to feel better is park myself somewhere on the train. But nope! Its some fancy morcha happening in Dadar and the world and it's brother are travelling with me. Place to sit ? Eh, it's a party even if I get a place to stand on my toes and not breathe into underarms that are in the pits!
- The ticket line at Lower Parel station is always the shortest and after a long day at work I'm never in a hurry. It’s a stroll and amble that I pace myself with. But that was the day I had a date lined up and was super late. The scene at Lower Parel station - the coupon validating machine is not working, somebody's flicked the purple ink stamp-pad, only one window's functional, the guy at the window is super-old and super-slow and there is an ess line multiplied by two outside the ticket counter!
- Couple of other times when Lord Murphy never fails to surprise me - my iron doesn’t work the day everything including my face is all wrinkled and crumpled, for years the water pipes have dried dry on Holi afternoons, my phone battery dies when I'm waiting for that one phone call...
Sometimes I think I'm the chosen one and then sometimes I think - it can happen to anyone of us, may be I'm just the chosen one.
