Sometimes you just cant help it.. manure occureth

Have u ever blurted out something which made absolutely no sense?! Babbled something without thinking?! Did things you have no idea why and pretty much sure you werent in your right senses when u did.. Well, if you have, u would understand why I m writing this blog. If you havent, you can read on to have a nice laugh and wonder that such people actually exist.

It all started with the alarm going off at 8:20 in the morning. Making me realize i had slept only for 4 hours. The temperature outside would have probably been 4 degrees C - insinuating me to sleep for 5 min longer. But the 5 min would have cost me a 20 min run to the class in that weather. Against my better judgement, I got up and dragged my feet around for 10 min only to realize that I will miss the bus anyway, if I dont hurry up.

Made it to the class on time. Luckily the prof didnt turn up. BUT the class was not cancelled.. we got to watch the prof on TV instead, speaking about an interesting subject which at that moment I had no interest in.. Preoccupied by the worries of finding a suitable apartment for the next semester, preparing to teach in the evening and most of all.. wanting to hit the sack after class; I didnt even realize the class was over.. and then it happened..

While bantering casually with a couple of friends, I accidentally called one of them a beggar!! Of course I didnt mean it.. You might wonder... "what?!?! a beggar?!? of all the things.. why a beggar?!" (Read on..) As expected, the friend got pissed!! (As I am pretty sure any of you would if someone called u that!)

Thinking back about such incidents (unfortunately, there are many such incidents).. you often realize how you could possibly get yourself into such tight-spots. You also realize that obviously you wont do such silly things when you are in your senses.

Now the Q: Why did I do it?! (Not only this.. but the plethora of other incidents) I still cant figure it out. I am pretty sure most of us have done stupid things in life which we can never explain. That makes u think whether the theories of causality actually hold. There is no reason why we do certain things sometimes. No matter what justification you give (in my case - the sleep-deprivity, boredom, etc..), it just does not add up. You know there can be no foundation, no cause for the occurance of that event.

Are such things meant to happen?! And that you have no control over things. But then you immediately realize that you are just taking the easy way out and blaming fate for your actions. You never gave fate credit for all the wonderful things that you did / happened to you.

I feel life would be boring if everyone stuck to the rules and everything was picture perfect. Its the absurdities which makes life interesting. You need to experience a low to enjoy the heights life takes you. So, if you ever face these kinds of situations - try your best to rectify your mistakes and if that doesnt work - Sometimes you just cant help it.. Shit happens!! :)

(I know this incident wasnt big enough to lead to such a chain of thought. Well, my friends, every thought needs an apple to fall.. In my case, apples fell many times.. Only this time I thought I will write about it and see what happens.. !!)
