Pot of Luck!
I belong to the class of individuals who brood over the ideas that strike like lightning at unearthly hours, only to cradle it in the cerebellum for months on end arguing and contemplating on the ramifications and significance before the thoughts get etched in paper (well... almost!) Okay, thats the most creative excuse I can conjure up for my absence!
Well, something happened in life which made me think about fate and how we deal with this creepy creature who comes and stares at you when you least expect it. It has been ingrained in our system that we should do 90% of the work and leave the rest 10% to God.. which for me is synonymous to anything uncertain. This 10 percent is the catch or the ubiquitous fate, as we know it! It can take the form of Eve who cajoles Adam to take the forbidden fruit or could be the shoe heel that snaps on your ramp to glory!
This blog is not about '101 ways to fight fate' or about calculating the probability of having a flat tyre in the 2.5 mt frantic pedalling to college. It is just my musings about this lurking creature whose next move depends on the alignment of some cosmic object in the galazy. Well, our opponent is none other than a complex derivate! Scholars say the best part of life is its uncertainty i.e to say, if people knew in advance of Sep 11 WTC would have been empty and Bush wouldnt have to proclaim Osama dead!
Ya, Fate! God must be a woman; (No, im far from being a feminist nor do I believe in astrology to predict the gender of the unknown) no man can have the combination to power and enigma; will to beget and sting; to give hope and be ruthless in taking it away; to make or break with equal ease. That has to be a woman! This woman shall have her way... I am forced to fight her till death & the world will have another fate to muse about!
