Wendesday, May 21st was not a good day for two of the teams that I support. Firstly, Mumbai Indians (MI) lost the game to Punjab Kings XI by 1 run. It was such a close game. I was expecting MI to go ahead and win the game easily when Sachin was still batting, but then everything went haywire and we ended up losing with the smallest of the margins. The feeling of defeat that evening had just sunk in when around 3am, my brother sends me a message saying that Chelsea lost to Manchester United 5-6 in penalties. This was not something which I wanted to hear first thing in the morning. I headed out to gym and started to watch the game, which was being replayed, while working out. I saw John Terry take the penalty and slip and the ball went wide. For that one moment, my hands were on my face and I was almost in tears, feeling the pain that JT felt on missing that penalty. I have never gotten emotional after watching any game, and I really dont know what happened when I saw that penalty. Sometimes luck plays such a huge role. Chelsea could have won the match, but they hit the bar like 2-3 times. Cristiano Ronaldo from Man U even missed his penalty shot, but Chelsea were not meant to be European Champions.. Luck.. Bad Luck to be honest.

Check out this article in honor of JT.

Bad Luck hi Kharab hai

The last couple of weeks in April and this month so far have been financially very bad for me. It seems like the Lords of Bad Luck have finally caught up with me. First, I forget my sunglasses in the office on a Friday, realize that on a Saturday, call the office guys to check if they are still on my desk and guess what?? Obviously they are not there.. someone took them.

Then on May 1st, I lost my N73 Music Edition. I was speaking on the phone with a friend when I saw an autorickshaw, with seating available in front. I got in the rick and hung up the phone and kept it in the pant pocket. I thought I had kept it properly, but guess what.. when I got down from the rick, I felt like I was missing something, and then realized the phone is gone. Either it fell down in the rick or on the road somewhere. I turned around to look for the rick, the rick was gone. I figured may be it has not fallen in the rick and decided to walk back the entire distance traveled checking on the road, in case I found the phone lying there. But it turned out, I could not find it. I reached my gym and immediately dialed my mobile number, and I got the message, “This number is currently unavailable.” So I assumed that some bugger has found the phone and removed the SIM. All this happened in the 20 mins, since I realized the phone was gone and I dialed the number.

And today someone stole my Adidas shoes from the Gym. I, along with other regular members, keep my shoes in a dedicated shoe rack. One of the fellow members also lost his shoes last week. I was in two minds on Friday, if I should leave the shoes in the shoe rack or take them with me. So when I went to the gym in the morning.. I got this nasty surprise, that my shoes have been stolen. I just wonder why would someone steal someone’s shoes. May be the robber has shoe festish or something, but still why would you steal someone else’s shoes. Now that I think of Friday, taking the shoes with me would have been the best option.

I believe in all I have lost stuff worth Rs. 18000 ($450 USD) in the last month or so. This has never happened to me and I have been staying alone since I was 18. According to mom, I should take more precaution in the next couple of months. May be Satan has finally caught up with me. All I can say is that Mera Bad Luck Kharab chal raha hai.
