Chaotic order

Some people might see this big bad world as a chaotic place where things only seem to happen at random .. no patterns can be associated to anything .. perfectly working code mysteriously stops working once you have your team lead by your side for review .. the sweetheart you had been pursuing for years chupke se, behind the screens, mysteriously disappears (you come to know that she has flown off to u-know-what with her new hubby later anyways). But I've been able to attach *some* order, *some* pattern to *some* things in life.

- When you are travelling by bus from mysore to bangalore and you have a free seat beside you, you always end up with a fat man who will not allow you to rest your hand on the arm-rest.

- When you are travelling by bus from mysore to bangalore, you will invariably have atleast one whacko who experiments with all the ringtones in his mobile over and over again (at max-volume mind you). I've always felt like stuffing that mobile into that person's puny brain so that ringtones are all that the person's ever gonna hear again, but I usually settle down for an irritated shout.

- When you arrive at the bus stand (mysore to bangalore again) at peak time (6 in the evening) , you will find a hundred more people waiting but not a single bus around.

- When you arrive at the bus stand (need i tell ??) at lousy times (11 am - 5 pm), you will find 10 buses, 10 ppl and each bus starting the journey with 1 person (slightly exaggerated, but you get the picture, dont you).

Code not working at the right moment is the best example of Murphy's law.

The patterns are very true. Especially, a guy trying effin ring tones. Once I felt like telling "oh man! you have a mobile phone, Awesome!!!"
