The nicer someone is, the farther away (s)he is from you...Murphy's law...
It had been almost a year since I passed out from college and I had not managed to find a decent job yet. Finally after months of anxious wait I got a call from a company of my choice. I was to go for interview the next day at 9 AM. I had my dinner early and deviating from my normal plan (which often extends to early hours of the morning doing all sort of ‘things’) I went off to sleep making sure that I had set my alarm for 6 AM so that I could get up early and dress up (in my entire life I had never got up before 9!! And never dressed up decently!!!).
When I finally got up the next morning it was already 8:30 AM. My alarm clock had run out of life (battery) at the night!!! Murphy… He suddenly came to my mind. “Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way.” How true is this. What else could go wrong? After months of trying I had got this interview and missing it this way was really frustrating.
It also reminded me of an incident that took place just after my class 12th board exam. Me and my friend Apoorv had to catch a flight to Bangalore (at 6:30 in the morning) to give our exam. We had decided to wake up at 4 in the morning and leave at most by 5. The Delhi airport was one hour drive from my place. I woke up at 4 and turned off the alarm. I thought why not sleep for another five minutes and then get up. Before I could realise, five minutes turned into an hour. When I finally managed getting up at 5:30 I could not think of what to do!!!
Someone during one of the lectures in my college had mentioned Murphy’s Law. So now having realised that I have already missed my interview, I decided to put the blame on this law. I logged on to internet and started to browse through this law. What I came across was very interesting. At first hard to believe but when we compare with our life we find its very true. Its same like, “World is very unfair but I always wonder that why is it never unfair for my good or on my side??!!”
Murphy's law is an adage in Western culture that broadly states that things will go wrong in any given situation, if you give them a chance. "If there's more than one possible outcome of a job or task, and one of those outcomes will result in disaster or an undesirable consequence, then somebody will do it that way."
Now you can blame this law for you getting low grades or missing out on an opportunity or an experiment going wrong!!! It is like the law of life. We often experience that sometimes or in many cases a lot of times things go wrong when we least want it to go wrong! In fact scientists often consider Murphy’s Law when they have to launch a satellite or rocket. They actually consider everything that can go wrong and are already prepared with a solution!!! It is often quoted as “If you make something idiot proof…they will build a better idiot!!!”
Murphy law even supports us being singles (hee hee…finally a valid reason for all my ELIGIBLE single friends out there)..it says “Availability is a function of time. The minute you get interested is the minute they find someone else.”
So my friends…don’t worry just sit back and relax after all now you have something on which you can blame all your failures!!! And yes… one more thing you remember when someone told you that you have topped when you least expected to… or someone told you that the hottest babe of the campus is looking for you…remember my friend…”If its too good to be true…then it is too good to be true…”…

as time passed sadly our batch got divided into small 'groups'..this was the time i came to no abt da so called politics that exsisted in mayo..this was one of the sadest part..sum of us became rivals and though this levelled down a lot as time passed nd v againg began 2 live hapily still sum bad taste continued on till end of class 10 nd even now...i just wish that i could go back in time and change this one thing and that dis would hav never happened..i mad sum very gud frns..my best frnds...to say friends would be to under estimate i would like to say i found brothers at mayo...!!! my stay was one experience that i would never 4get...It made me wat i m toda
y...it taught me about life and is greatly responsible 4 my personality development..for all my success how little it may be rite now, after my parents if someone deserves d credits...its mayo..its my second home and my loyality 2wards mayo will always be same...i joined mayo as a kid and left it as a person who had learnt sum finer points of life..a all round developed person...!!! hope those gud moments culd come again... i m PROUD TO BE A MAYOITE!!!
