Urban Lore of Luck & Life

(Caution : If you see a pattern in the following then do not assume that they have occurred to you immediately. They might have, they might not have, think abt it!)

1.Whenever you are waiting on the bus stop for a bus (what else!), and a jam packed bus comes, then if you somehow get on it then as soon as you buy the ticket, what you would see is another bus going to the same destination coming from behind which is relatively empty. However, if you do not enter into this jam packed bus, then you could spend the next half-hour waiting for an empty bus, but it won't show up.

2.Somehow, whenever you are waiting for a bus, the bus you want to board never seems to stop at the bus stop you are standing on, and when you board that bus, it seems to stop at every bus stop (stops sometimes without a bus stop). That's the On-the-bus-off-the-bus syndrome. Its somewhat similar to the relativity theory.

3.Whenever you think you've got everything under control in life, just then everything is going to get really out of control. And you would be left wondering why you even had that thought.

4.Whenever you think (night time is good for thinking) that a particular person has been really nice to you, or you have really good thoughts about a person and how he/she makes you smile, the following day or the week to come, that person will seriously challenge your opinions, and you would be ultimately forced to have a re-think. I think this law really makes me wonder that should we be forming opinions about people.

5.If you do some work right on the first attempt, people will always think it was easy. Somehow no matter how you made a complex work simple by using common sense, the boss would always seem to favour the person who made the simple work complex with his complete idiocy.

6.On days you would turn up before anyone else in the office, the boss would always arrive late. And on days when you turn up late, you would always find the boss waiting for you!!

7.Somehow people would'nt laugh at your jokes (no matter how good they r), and they would be laughing at pathetic jokes of other people, just cos they seem to have some face value!!

8.(This is not personal at all) Girls would somehow pick up guys on face value, no matter when they open their mouth, you immediately know that I would rather not be in their shoes :)

9.Somehow whenever you think you're gonna start studying seriously, something happens that detours your studying routine such as a family function, or something similar.

Life is grossly unfair, but no body ever said it was gonna be fair! And If I can remember more of such events I swear to keep updating this list!
