coincidence

i don't believe in luck..
i don't think myself to be superstitious either..
but then, it all simply cant just be plain coincidence..

he was a part of everything of mine(tangibles and/or intangibles) since the moment he began.. 2010.. till the moment he lasted.. 2013..

and then he was not there.. and it was then, when even i was not really "there"..

he resurfaced.. 2014.. at a time i thought, i could have done very well without that..
but, with him, even i resurfaced.. so as to speak..

and i say this, because, the result(s) are again in my favour..

is he the "good" part of me?

or is this all a very happy coincidence?!

bed-side manners

and then  you'll tell me, "so, you a superstitious sort?"
and i'll say, each time, every time, "no."

i have grown up reading about the importance of the sides of the bed.. the wrong side and the right side.. point to note here is the fact that i've been brought up along the western/English ways/beliefs of life in the major aspects, and thereby also am branded as "angrez"/ "shaheb" by every one in the house-hold! so, this explains my picking up on the significance of bed-sides.. though, i've never really bothered to delve into the essence of the whole phenomenon, it definitely did catch my fancy.. so, i've grown up associating the reason of grumpiness of some people (mind you, only those who make it to my 'favourite' list) to their getting up from the sides of their bed.. thus became the "right" side and the "wrong" side.. and that was fun..!

well, if you dont believe me, try telling "so, it looks like you got out from the wrong side of your bed this morning," to someone who is thoroughly given up on the world and almost at his/her wits end and completely and absolutely exasperated!!! (warning : do that at entirely your risk!!!)

so today, i was applying this very logic to myself.. nothing like self introspection when you're stuck in horrible traffic, at 10 in the morning, en route to work.. and i was almost on the verge of certifying it as being the truth as well, when, it was the Royal Highness in all it's glamour!

stuck for over 10 mins at a signal halfway to work, the cars moving, rather crawling at snails pace, i finally halt as the first in line, waiting on the red light.. turned off the ignition, humming away to the radio, and i'm greeted to Royalty! a Black Bentley cruises by!!! and all my conclusions of my self introspection vis-a-vis the sides of the bed goes down the drain.. rather out of the window!

who cares about which side of the bed you got off when you see a Bentley?! and that too, absolute unobstructed view! for mornings like this, every side is the perfect side! and even the most horrible traffic (yes, it lasted up till the parking lot of office!) fails to put a dampner!!!
