Something serious

Have u noticed how difficult it is to be at the right place at the right time?
Everything seems to be going quite fine.But somehow things get messed up in the end because you are not there at the right time.You probably missed it by a few minutes here and there. And why were u not there at that time?
Because you were busy hee-heeing at the latest joke you received in email(which in all probabilities you received two days back) .
Or mebbe because you were involved in a serious discussion about the different implications of , the girl and guy from the adjacent cubicle going to tea together.
Some similar stuff -the simple pleasures in life.
Again you might get slightly lucky and maybe you are there at the right time, but some weirdo has taken possession of your body and you end up saying things you dont mean and reverse things for urself.Dump the good fortune handed to you on a gold plate.
And let me tell you ,the second one makes you feel worse than the first.
Its like this - Iam running in a marathon.Iam just goin to reach the finish line.I would have finished first.But there is this irresistable unknown force which just wields me off the track.
Iam sure you are suspecting what could have sparked off this thought.
Well..it all started bcos of something really trivial..something as silly as being late for the bday party and there is no cake left.
But u never know!Never ignore the small things.Its these which actually shape into elephant sizes later and one day you'll be shocked at how it got so big.
I thought a lot about the whole thingie.A feeble attempt to find an explanation.A concrete reason.
I could not neither explain to myself nor conclude.
But oh yea!I can always blame the planets.

Reminds me of the Tamil proverb, "Kalla kanda Naaya kaanum, naaya kanda kalla kaanum"...

Blame the planets ? hmm everything is pre-destined I guess... What say ?

Prabhs,
Enna ma? slight-a senti potta maathiri irukku? enna aachu? why a negative undertone to the post? "Iam sure you are suspecting what could have sparked off this thought." and the answer doesn;t really seem to fit in.. (of course, being the vetti fellow that I am, I will say such things as always).. anyways, this is also to show that me is alive ;)

prabha.. I guess u r rite in many ways.. a lot of times we end up being late cos we wasted those precious moments in something which cud have been avoided..

Picture this.. u r going somewhere and u need to be there on time.. u just catch a couple of overs more of cricket or tht 10 min of a movie/serial.. and lo.. on the way the railway gate just closed 2 mins be4 and thats another 10-15 min gone and u r late!!..

happens.. all the time..

Throughout the ages humankind has fought myriads of battles with itself, disease, stereotypes etc.

However a foe we have not yet managed to win against so far is Time!

Don't worry no one has won as yet, we just do better with age and experience! You will do fine.
