Jinxed Red T-Shirt
Most of us consider jinxed objects only to be a superstition and I was one of them until this incident.
It was around 3 weeks back when I was at Bharath Mall again with my friends just to kill some time
We were casually roaming around in the mall when one of my friends had an urge to get into the sport equipment shop.
Since I was not interested in any sports equipment, I decided to have a glance at the nearby Apparel store with a female friend who was not interested in sports equipments either.
As I was browsing around, a beautiful apple red T-Shirt caught my attention and I decided to buy it, meantime even my friend liked a colorful T- shirt with all the 7 colors in rainbow and more, she called me to discuss my opinion on it saying she was shopping for her brother;
I subconsciously approved her selection without a second thought
Little did I know that I was the little brother who was going to be the proud owner of that T-Shirt.
Meantime my other friends were done with their shopping at sports store and we all got our selections billed
As soon as I got my red T-Shirt in my hand, my friend handed over the second packet to me saying you'll look good in it, you keep it
Never did I expect anyone to gift me a Joker costume, and that too after discussing my opinion on it
Last weekend I decided to wear my new red T-Shirt for the very first time, and that's when the real trouble started.
I had a appointment at the dentists place just for a casual checkup, and I turned up there half n hour early in order to get my work done quickly, but the Dentist turned up half n hour late for some reason unknown to me, so I had to rush home after meeting him at stairs as I had to reach office on time.
I rushed back home, parked my bike and ran towards bus stop only to find that I've missed my usual bus just by 30 seconds
Since I did not want to walk half a mile back home to get my bike, I decided to wait for the next bus which was 10 minutes later.
I plugged my I-pod and was enjoying my favorite tracks for some time when I got a peck on my shoulder.
I turned back only to find a old man only pointing at his wrist, and since I knew that I'm no doctor and dint look like one either I knew he wanted to know the time and not his pulse rate.
I threw a glance at my watch and was horrified to discover that the time was 3:30, on a second careful look, I found that it was the watch which in topsy-turvy position and when I tried to put it back in the right posture, I realized that it was the watch dial which was tilted by 180 degree
To avoid further confusion I took out my cell phone and verified the time and was relieved to find it was still 9:00, I resumed back to my music until I observed that there were no buses coming my way.
It was already 9:30 and so I decided to call my colleague and let him know that I'd be reaching late
I took out my cell phone and dialed his number and that's when an unknown lady told me that I had insufficient balance to call him
How the hell did that happen now, I asked myself
But I had no answer to my question and with no other choice, I reached to the nearby Coin Phone to call my colleague and inform about the situation and that's when the phone gave me a real good electric shock
I was in no mood for any more shocks and hence returned to the bus stop
Soon I got to know the secret behind my insufficient balance when a friend called me and also complained about the spooky song he could hear while calling me, That's when I realized it was Caller Tune which gobbled my balance
How did my cellular operator know that I needed a caller tune in such a situation rather than a little balance to report to my office
Thanks for setting it up without my consent, you saved a lot of my effort, I was anyway going to set it in another 15-20 years
After another 10 minutes of waiting, an over-crowded bus arrived at the stop
The bus was leaning towards its left due to the weight of people on foot board and I did not have anymore time to waste and hence i decided to mount this one
With one leg on footboard and other almost in the air, sharing the footboard with 3 other people we hardly had travelled 2 miles comfortably when it started raining, or should I say pouring
It was pouring so heavily, and as if that was not enough the wheels were splashing the mud water on us
After another 30 minutes of travel, drenched like a cat I finally managed to reach office shivering, and guess what's the good news?
Now we have 3 reporting managers instead of 2
Yippee!!! What could be better than this?
After this day I decided not to wear this red T-Shirt anymore and keep it locked safely
Moral: Wearing untested T-Shirts can sometimes be injurious to your health, please use the trail room first and buy it only if you come out safe

I heard of double trouble, but multiple, yeah not yet. Then I thought I was the only one who thought, that there are certain sets in my wardrobe which brings me good luck and a few which are just not meant to be worn. Loved the post. What about your clowny, oh sorry colourful T-Shirt.
