LOL

So its 3 deg celsius outside and I am in a bus on my way back home from college at 6 in the evening. Its winters so it gets dark early and I usually doze off in the 1 hour journey.
But unusually today I chose to stay awake and work on my laptop to finish from where I left!! (Unusual coz a)I avoid carrying my laptop to school b) it rarely is fully charged to work unplugged and c)studying in the bus........uggghhh....).

The next thing I realised after I closed my laptop that I have been on the bus for over an hour now. I went up to the driver and asked if we crossed my stop. He said "20 years ago,ma'am"
(LOL Part-I :D).

I got down at "donno-where"next to "some bridge" to cross the road and wait for the bus from the opposite way to take me back home.

The GPS took 25-30 secs to load and show my location and also kept flashing 7% battery (LOL Part-II).

When it finally loaded it said I was 5 miles away from my place and the next bus was after 16 mins (LOL part-III).

So, there I was...standing all alone on some dark street near a stop (didn't even looked like a stop) which just had a board for 68 metro and with a cell phone with 6% battery charge left in the chilling cold.

Things started flashing in front of me as to how wonderful this semester it has been. All of the stupid decisions, actions, consequences, repercussions have made me such a tough nut(LOL).

A bus arrived and I literally jumped in front of it. The bus driver asked a frantic-me if I was alright and for the first time I said the truth "You know what, I am not."
 

Worth what

Time - 04:16 am

Mental State- Calm at present

Hunger State - 2 cups of coffee

Hours of spent perseverance into kaput! (5 hrs to be precise)

But here is the positive side to it. This feeling of trying and failing gives me a sense of satisfaction than not trying at all and failing.

Space

I loved the book "The Secret" by Rhonda Bryne. It talked so much of positivity and faith that it changes your approach to life.
Sometimes I feel as if I am sending signals out into a vast infinity that disappear out there amidst all the other signals, but then it happens that for once you receive a response from this dark space and it makes you want to make an effort. The yield is the learning from the process of trying and not the goal.

Murphy's scam

I just came back from a workshop which talked of developing presentation skills and I wondered while returning if it was worth attending after waking up early on a weekend,spending half of my day on it. Maybe it was useful to an extent but not much at the cost of the precious time I barely have in hand presently.

When he mentioned of Murphy's law it reminded me of the string of events going wrong with my life right now and why I am Murphy's favorite person.

A lot has happened in the last month and a lot will happen in the coming time. If the devil called life and Murphy are done plotting against me, maybe the rainbow which shone after the shower will stay for me. My friend recently said how certain things are beyond our control in a casual conversation and that line has been echoing in my mind over and over. Isn't it interesting why life & wife rhyme? I can guess why..cos both of them are so moody and unpredictable! Sometimes she is a darling and making your life all comfortable and then the next moment she would blast for some past and start throwing things at you.

Stringed puppets,aren't we? But, if only we were dull & lifeless without feelings and hearts then life would have been so much simpler.

So, what do we learn and what do we get....we are a helpless bunch living under someone's mercy but the bottom line is that it doesn't mean we stop living with dignity.
As I always say...expect less, hope more and work hard( Hey there friend! Long time no see :P ).
