There are people who turn anything into success. There are people who turn anything into failure. It is called fate. When fate favours you, everything you touch will be a success. When it is against you, that's when one of Murphy's Laws comes into effect.
Everything that can go wrong will go wrong.
Year 2006 has been very bad for me and I am experiencing Murphy's Law minute-in and minute-out.
First it had to do with my CA Final exams. Flunked very narrowly. Then there was issue with my articleship. Then there was my Wallet with my Cash and ID documents stolen in a Train. Then there was the issue with the Debit cards where passwords went awry and even though I had cash in the bank I couldn't access it for 10 days (worse days). Then the Bank pulls u up for non payment of Credit card dues. Then some long forgotten debit/ credit hits ur credit card (as old as 11 months). Then ur new credit card where u r planning for a balance transfer is held up by the courier guys for over 10 days. Now no cash in hand and bad finance position.
I look like a loser right. Not to worry. Things will pass in a few months. If you have had any experience of this nature (Murphy's Law), please write in. We shall learn lessons from them.
Regards,
Parttimer.

That was a great one. Sorry I have not been to Mylot for a longtime now. Hence the late reply. By the way, things are still going bad for me. Hopefully 2008 will be better.

When things are all going well, I always prepare for what is surely coming to make it less perfect
