If I traveled to the end of the rainbow

As Dame Fortune did intend,

Murphy would be there to tell me

The pot’s at the other end.

Yeah, you’re right… No prizes for guessing that this long delayed blog is dedicated to MURPHY and his obnoxious little law.

(For the ignorant,

The Murphy’s Law says-> If anything can go wrong, it will)

If all along, you thought that such things happens only to you, well look around it is as ubiquitous as a GAP T-Shirt. Especially after SRK wore them in KKHH.

NOTE: The author ruefully reminisces the day when she wore her shower cap and walked happily into a bus. LOL!

Worthy to mention, is that Murphy has faced quite a volume of dissidence from powerfully placed poohpoohers. The objections are on the grounds that it is antithetical to the glorious, well loved and well researched theory of Positive Thinking. My humble opinion is that, it is rather hind sighted to identify Murphy’s laws with pessimism and negativity.

Whether we suffer from regret (over things we didn’t do) or remorse (over things that we did), every once in a while we will smile when things go wrong just because smiling is more important than anything else under the sun. And for this outlook, if for nothing else, we all thank Murphy’s Law. If you’ve undergone such frustrating, exasperating and inescapable moments when everything seems to go wrong, there is some consolation…. laughter.

Here is a compilation of all those crazy theories on the lines of Murphy’s-

SILVERMAN’S PARADOX

If Murphy’s laws can go wrong, it will.

THE EXTENDED MURPHY’S LAW

If a series of events can go wrong, it will do so in the worst possible sequence.

LYNCH’S LAW

When the going gets tough,(omg just wait for this one!) everyone leaves.

BASIC BAGGAGE PRINCIPLE

Whatever carousel you stand by, your baggage will come in on another one.

HARRISON’S POSTULATE

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

MATILDA’S LAW OF SUB-COMMITTEE FORMATION

If you leave the room, you’re elected.

It is easier to seek forgiveness than permission

Don’t let your superiors know you’re better than they are.

The cream rises to the top. So does the scum [needless to say, that am in!]

LAW OF LABORATORY WORK [ LOL! I coined this one]

When you do not know what you are doing, do it neatly

An expert is anyone from out of town

[No wonder we prefer picking Shane Bond to Yusuf Pathan in IPL or elect Gary Kirsten and not Ravi Shastri as Coach]

Fools rush in- and get the best seats. [ YAY US!]

Win or lose, you lose.

If it’s good, they stop production.

Cleanliness, is next to impossible.

He who laughs last- probably didn’t get the joke. (So true, trust me!)

To err is human- to blame it on someone else is even more human.

——————————————MY PERSONAL FAVORITE————————————

Anything good in life is either illegal, immoral or fattening.

In Murphy, Thy Shall Always Trust.

Cheers!
