The first law of nature....

I've never blogged before because nothing interesting ever happens to me and because i'm just too darned lazy... But today i had an insight into how the Universe works and i just had to share...I'm doing my Btech in Sri Venkateshwara College of Engineering which is in Sriperumbudur a boring, tiring, life- sucking one and a half hour journey away from my home. When the rays of sunshine struck my droopy eyes this morning, i knew today was different; a day on which i was going to do something useful, noteworthy, different- none of which could be acheived by going to Engg. College and so I tried talking myself out of going. "Nothing important will happen in college today.. I can tell u now, exactly how the day'll go. You'll learn nothing in Physics class, you'll sleep through Engg. Graphics and you'll be asked to redo your assignment in Fundamentals of Computing AGAIN..!" said that part of me which dreams every night of a world with no Engg courses and of mothers who tell you that its ok for u not to do your homework and that she doesn't mind it when you make hour- long STD phone calls to talk to your best friend.. "Don't be a fool... You'll lose attendance.." said the geek in me reminding of me that evil that engg. colleges use to force hapless students into coming to college everyday- ATTENDANCE! In dreary submission i pulled the covers off and went for a bath. I dragged my body forcibly through the bath and through breakfast... Finally ready, i was lugging my bag onto my back when i saw through the window- THE BUS WAS GOING PAST MY HOUSE at that typical breakneck speed that only bus drivers can acheive...

HALLELUJAH! cried I, silently of course.( I wouldn't want mother dear to know...) I pretended to rush down at top speed and cried in a panic stricken voice.." MA! the bus' gone.. looks like i cant go today..." I was thanking my stars. 'Things had a wonderful way of working out, didn't they?' Congratulating myself thus, i forgot to take one critical factor into account..Our wonderful, devoted, affectionate, selfless mothers can never bear to see their children in distress...

She worked fast- a General putting her battle plan into action. She hailed down an auto... Ordered him into submission, stuffed her beloved and unlucky daughter into the auto.."You can catch up to the bus at Anna Arch. You'll pay him forty rupees. Call me when u get on the bus..."
As i looked on bewildered, the "auto-man" zoomed through the traffic- catching upto my bus with every stop and eventually overtaking it... I rushed onto a running bus during a traffic jam, forcing my limbs to do things that were totally against my wishes and as i had believed until then, completely beyond my ability.... When i finally sat down in the bus with college mates staring at me in surprise and awe, a desperate gloom enveloped me and in that profound moment, it hit me-'When you really really want something, ALL the Universe conspires to deny you your one true wish....
