Luck.. it sounds like either something natural or unbelievable.. People say you are lucky, few consider themselves as an unlucky person to be born. It is the old stereotype of thoughts that run in your mind when things go wrong about work, life, romance, etc. Do we even know who invented this word or is there any real meaning to it in our lives? I am sure people believe in this when it is said by their astrologers or someone who they have faith in as guidance. 90% of families believe in astrology. Do you consider those priest to be God who can predict the future? Are they 100 % right that you tend to blindly follow them and not even take a step ahead without his consideration. 

We have all Indian families believing in this and that has been followed by generations and generations. Thought today I consider myself as a modern individual still I would follow them when instructed my parents. I had a great life seven years back when I was just 22 and had completed my MBA. Brought up in a metro city with family of six and lived peacefully until the rotten luck slammed my face. This was something I never heard or knew would happen in my life but still it did in spite of the priests telling us and suggesting us to do things like puja and mantras and so on. The list never stopped and I used to follow it wholeheartedly as I was young and had dreams that of a simple girl. My career started as soon as I completed my MBA in 2012, but it was not that great that the others get paid in lakhs at the very beginning. Still I continued and kept changing jobs for good but the pay would never get better. Seemed like I am stuck at one place, only the age number kept changing. I was getting used to with the life of job and home till I came across a marriage proposal from Mumbai and things got well and eventually the wedding plans started. The marriage was supposed to take place in December, all the arrangements were done and just before a month the guy calls up my father and cancels the wedding by giving no specific reason. I was completely broken as I was just 24 and as a normal girl even I had started dreaming of my life with him. Gradually me and my family got over the shit that happened and I became strong thinking that something better is destined and waiting for me. 

I lost my job behind this and had to start from the scratch to earn and keep a bank balance. My parents didn’t want me to shift anywhere else and stay with them but I was adamant and decided to move to another city for job in 2015 thinking that I would stay alone and become dependent. Even here my luck did not accompany me by being good. Changed jobs, lost my job and finally I had to decide on moving back to my parents. Started writing blogs, worked as a freelance content writer and also looked for other suitable guys as per astrology matches. They always made me believe that my life is great and that I will achieve heights but till then I did not see anything as such nor I looked for it. We kept travelling to meet the bachelor’s but nothing worked. Finally in 2017 I met someone, the horoscopes matched and somewhat we liked each other too. I started thinking that yes, may be, now my life would change after I get married to this guy which was fixed in 2018 and indeed my life changed when actually things did not work, they were fraud and I strongly had to take a step of filing a divorce. 

It was a mess to and unbelievable to  my family and relatives but I had no choice as things were not changing and I could not stay with him any longer. Those eight months were enough to understand what was wrong and that would never change, instead spoil my life more. It was another smash on my face but this time I was bold enough to face this as I was not young anymore and could understand what was right for me. I stood up for myself and worked on this chapter to end it as soon as possible according to the legal norms. I did not leave my job and settle with my parents this time. I continue to work now and also put efforts to earn more and fulfill my dreams. Still my new thoughts and efforts to reach my goal does not fall in place. I still need to complete eight more months as per our astrologer and then my luck would favor me. I wonder if I should still believe in this, probably I have no other choice either. That is why I call this as rotten luck and not unlucky because still I believe in myself that yes I will change my faith into good and one day I can again write on “Forever lucky”.

PS: I’m the luckiest unlucky person? No, I’m the luckiest angel of God who has chosen me to strive against the stream
