It happens...

  • Out of a collection of n similar looking boxes I always open the wrong one at least n-1 times to search for the thing I want.
  • Out a bunch of keys, never will I choose the correct key when I try to urgently unlock the door.
  • When on the telephone and want to urgently note down a number, the pen and paper will always be at an uncomfortable distance from you.
  • Out of a stack of clothes, the top one always get to be used the most, as they say old faded clothes are the most comfortable.
  • I feel as if I haven't slept for days just before the day of the exam and opening the book for the first time. The more the portions the more the sleep. Once I even fell down unconscious and I thought I had died.
  • Always freshen up and comb your hair before you sleep. God knows whom you will meet in your dreams.
  • Out of a list of n things to do, well planned according to priority, always a task of least priority and not in the list gets done first.
  • Rain will come on those days when I don't carry the umbrella or raincoat thinking its sunny and sky is clear.
  • Always the person whom you don't want to meet or interact will pop in front of you completely surprising and embarrassing you.
  • The minute one is required to do an important task is the minute one would want to use the toilet.
  • You really want to test whether prayers work, just ask God, "I want more challenges!". That prayer never goes unanswered.
  • Thoughts are divided into two disjoint sets-PAST and FUTURE. Both consume you and drain away your energy. Never give way, they pull you away like the sea. Act, Act don't let your mind wander. In short idle man's brain is a devil's workshop.
  • You might wear costly make-up or even buy a Belgian mirror but you can never see how you look with closed eyes in front of the mirror. So there is more to life and you.
  • The joy you get when something strikes you at the right time.We work hard and pay hefty sums for our education just to have that little thing-PRESENCE OF MIND.
  • When you're angry, your bass and treble automatically gets set to the maximum, please switch to manual mode instead of auto-mode.
  • More than 95% of the troubles will be avoided, if you just step back and ask yourself, is this really what I want to do/be in life.
  • My dad's quote: "Happiness and contentment comes only in giving, expectations, frustrations, disappointment come if you want to only keep receiving." 
  • My mom's quote: "The worst punishment you can give to a person who hurts you a lot is to completely ignore them and not think about them at all."
  • My favourite story: "Once a king employed a very talented mason to build a palace for him. The mason who was very proud to have got the contract built the most exquisite for the king. The king was extremely happy with his work but he neither praised him nor paid him for his hard work. The king kept on extracting more and more work from the mason. This made the proud mason really angry and he thought "I am no slave!". Once the king called the mason and said, "This is your last task. Build this mansion for me." The mason decided to seek his revenge and he wasted all the materials given to him and constructed the most pathetic mansion ever which had leaks and holes everywhere and not fit to even enter inside. The mason stood before the king and said, "Your mansion is over!". The king was so happy and said, "Here is the key. Take it. Its all yours for the hard work you have done for me."
  • Another of my favourite stories. A man asked God that he wanted to win 1crore in the lottery. After waiting 3 months he got extremely frustrated and asked God with tearful eyes about why he didn't win. What kind of a God are you? And God said, you would have won, had you even thought of buying the ticket!  
  • I like Dumbledore's quote: ""Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it."
