Theres is many a slip between the cup and the lip, something we hear so frequently most times it doesn’t even warrant a blink and yet at times it comes farcically true. Take N, a true manipulator/kiss-ass/sycophant and what not who groveled and raved, bowed and scraped and to be honest toiled like a slave for eternity to get the job he wanted. So here we have bags all packed accompanied by fake congratulations from green with envy colleagues and faker modest smirks as answers and now comes the climax….. a week before the flight to the land of opportunities comes the big bombshell which makes the apocalypse look like a boring soap! The people at the other end refuse to accept the appointment so here we are bags packed and nowhere or at least not the place we dreamed of every moment to go.

Its absurd, its funny, its satisfying and most of all it’s thought provoking….. we scheme and plan, we maneuver and manipulate to the exclusion of all else, we configure and calculate taking into account all variables and yet we conveniently forget very deliberately, to factor in the biggest variable….God/Fate/Divinity….. and that’s when we leave ourselves very open to a kick in the butt.

The good thing is reminders like these serve as a warning for those of us who haven’t had the boot planted in our backs yet to sit back and think… in the cut throat world we occupy today sifarish/kiss ass at times is tempting and yet in the end you get what is destined, nothing less, nothing more. Having said that the kick if I am honest to admit is very satisfying, after all if I cant have it, why should you :P
