Things are ordained to be topsy turvy in all respects. Facing them with a pinch of salt is all we can do.

By the time I complete writing a note about my sick leave, I begin feeling better.

Whenever I make a phone call, someone is at the door ringing the bell.

Wherever I get an itch, it is always beyond reach.

My otherwise normal finger gets excessively flaccid at some point of the day just to allow my gold ring to drop into oblivion- to my dismay.

I look high and low for a parrot green material for myself. and the very shade then inevitably has to disappear from the market. Now when I don’t much care for it, the shade abundantly occupies the front rows on the shelves.

I go  for my own concerns and try to avoid relatives by not announcing my visit there. But right there in line with me boards a common acquaintance on my return flight, who will I feel, in all likeness, tell them I had come and left without meeting them. So I blurt out the truth guiltily that I could not meet anyone.However this turns out to be a joke that goes into my favour by default. It turns out that the acquaintance had also come on business and was  fleeing without paying a call to the common relatives whom we both were related to.

    Lol. Things like this happen.
    Sometimes trips are for rest, not visiting freinds and relatives.

    Oh sometimes we stress out over useless things in our lives. Upon reflection we might learn for the next time situations arrive to hit us squarely in our alertness.We hope to so stress can be less rather than build. I saw a lot of un-needed worry in your well presented post.

    that’s why now i don’t wonder
    why you still wander
    rather wonder
    gr88888 wondering events
    are you wondering
    why ask the guy
    who is standing by ,
    where has he come from ,
    surely he won’t say ,
    but will join you enroute
    with you if you may,
    grant him a free lift
    out of your way.

    i once helped a guy ,
    my driver reported
    and
    they sacked me f
    or helping every
    Tom Dick and Harry .
    no, no ,not the Prince.

    They call it ”Murphys Law” in some parts of the western world. Whatever can go wrong – will go wrong!
