Have you ever had this experience in life that you had to pass through bad luck days? Those days when you suddenly incurred some loss unexpectedly. Let's say you car or vehicle broke down in the middle of a trip and you were compelled to spend more money than you thought. Yesterday, to my chargin , in the evening, I found that the front wheel of my motorcycle had a puncture . I needed the vehicle in the morning. I reach my children's mother to the school at 8 AM. There was no way the bike could be repaired before 10. In the morning I borrowed a bicycle and loaded the defective wheel. I took the wheel to the nearest market and got the wheel repaired. I was 50 rupees poorer. In my new house under construction, I needed a welder I went around searching for one to work on the iron door. Found one through a friend. He came at half past 12. After the work he demanded 900 rupees. I bargained and settled for 800. I feel , this is a bad luck phase for me which is destined to fall upon me. I might try to escape the bad luck but it is written somewhere that I should suffer such ill luck. I hope tomorrow to be better.

There is a Hindi song...the words go "Raat bhar ka hai mehman andhera kiske roke ruka hai savera..." meaning the bad period is for a limited time, there is no way good period can be blocked. The line in this song that I try to recollect in my bad times is........Raat jitni bhi sangeen hogi, subaha utni hi rangeen hogi...meaning how dark the night, that bright the day. Yes...all that you say, happens. I went through that...never thought god would give me better times, ever, but he did. I am thankful to god. I will pray that your bad period gets over too. Hang in Xavier. Better times are round the corner.

@Mshafeeq It is sorta alternate ..sometimes this, sometimes that. Whenever I had bad period, I always told me, Ok...today is bad, tomorrow will definitely be good. If tomorrow was also bad, then I would tell me wow, I am going to have two consecutive days of good luck. That kinda optimism saw me through my rough times. God finds ways ...somehow he delivers. I am 66 and I can tell you...the night is not forever, as is the brighter part. In good times, we should remember that. I often forget.

Oh, yes! I was driving from Missouri to California one summer and my car overheated in the desert in New Mexico. This was before cellphones so I was stuck in the hot sun in 35C temps with no shade and the interior of the car even hotter than that before another car drove up and took me to a garage in the next town. I payed a tow truck driver to go bring my car to the garage and the garage to repair it... Quite expensive. I got sunburned really badly and was in pain for several days after that.

Hopefully the bad luck will be over now although if things happen in threes, there might be one more to come but I hope not.

My bad phase runs every now and then but no complaints I have seen some precious good days also. Bad days comes just to test you how would you react in that particular situation because what ever happens it happens with a cause.
