Had gone home (the Chennai one, that is) the past week for Diwali. The day I reached it was pouring. As usual, the city that would get flooded even if a frog were to cry was flooded with storming rivulets of sewage water (this I do not exaggerate, there WAS actually brown, muddy water gushing out onto the road, at several places ) and the annoying "work in progress" (for eons) flyover outside the airport was doing what it seems to have been constructed to do- holding up traffic. Anyway, as I mentioned, it was pouring in Chennai and continued to do so for a few days. And then miraculously, as Diwali day came along (both the South Indian/Tamilian one and the Rest of the country one), it just became sunny. This may seem an inane thing to write a post on but I just kept thinking just what a coincidence it was that everytime a festival or important function comes along, the weather just clears on it's own and it's perfect weather. Is it possible that everyone's collective prayers can change the tide? Maybe, maybe not. I'd like to believe it's an affirmation of the saying "Everything works out well in the end." To adapt a quote borrowed from the Alchemist, I'd like to believe that when (many people) want something bad enough, the whole universe conspires to let (them) achieve it. So here's one more for c0llective will! :)
P.S. Yes, I shall use that as an excuse to further my fatalist attitude toward all things 'important' in life!
