Its been strange but true, that the "today's fortune" on my orkut profile has been on spot until today. Today's fortune was that I will inherit large sum of money, which I still haven't as of 4pm today. So I thought let me see if this orkut fortune teller has ever been true for me. So I went back and started from the beginning of the week.
As I vaguely recollect one of the earlier fortune was that "I will have a change of luck" good to bad or bad to good, I really dont know. So in the morning, I logged on gmail and I found that I had lost some money ( How I lost it, is not important here). So I said "Jeez" the orkut fortune is really turning out to be true today. But it might be a coincidence, so I continued with my morning routine of Coffee, online news and chatting with friends. The coffee was good ( cant screw up that as there is no rocket science in making an instant coffee), the news was not that great as it was full of recent happenings in Bengaluru and Ahmadabad. So I said let me try my luck with chit chatting with friends. So I chatted with couple of my friends, it was good until I cracked a P.J with one of my friend which eventually led to misunderstanding and in matter of seconds the ball was out of the boundary line. I will not go over the post-mortem here. The bottom line was that repercussions were seen for the next two days which eventually led to loss of friendship and some strange "mis-understandings" with the near and dear ones. Anyways, I said "Dude, this orkut fortune is turning out to be true". But again like a rational thinker would think , "its coincidence".
But todays fortune on orkut (you will inherit a large sum of money) made me think, lets hope "this one is true" ( the greedy dog in me ). So from morning I started looking out for something which would make the fortune come true. Until lunch time I did not see a penny come by. So my hopes slowly started to fade. I decided to eat the lunch at my desk and watch Randy Pausch's time management video ( He died last week, may his soul rest in peace). I do not have enough adjectives to describe this guy. An inspirational speaker with a great sense of humor, which apparently many of us lack. I have become a fan ( like many others) of this prof. So anyways, he talks about simple time management things which will help us do our work efficiently and in more relaxed way. Watching him talk it makes us realize that, Here is a guy who knows that he is going to live for just another 6-9 months but not a sign of sadness or resignation. When I watched Rajesh Khanna's "Anand" movie, I thought this is not pragmatic. No person can be so cheerful and friendly when he knows that he is going to die in next 6-9 months. But Prof Randy proved me wrong. So anyways where am I going with this. I was talking about todays fortune and why did prof Randy come into picture. After watching the video I said "wait a second, did I just inherit a large sum of money. Isn't time=money. As far as I know I have time left in my life which I can manage properly and live healthily and happily". So another coincidence with the orkut's todays fortune. But I liked this coincidence.
