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 
Finally it was Saturday morning, a weekend Holy day (holiday) when I could give some time to myself and have my own schedules.
It was around 10 Am when I was lying on my bed, wondering how to make this day interesting when the brainstorm of bird watching occurred to me, No more thinking, what could be better than sitting at a distance and watching birds?
So I raced to BHARATH MALL, which is supposed to be one of the 3 best shopping malls at M”lore where lots of love birds, migrating birds, seasonal birds and other types of birds go shopping.
It was around 10:45 when I reached the mall and there were only a few love birds to be seen around and that's when I realized that it was Saturday and birds will be around only after 2 Pm.
I had to kill sometime, so the next thing in my mind was books and there I was in Bookmark hunting for some nice books and finally settled upon a book on forensic Science which captured the interest of Dexter in me. I was going through the book for some time when, I sensed danger.
That's when I noticed Bhavana, a college mate of mine shopping at the opposite music store.
I knew it was time to slip away else I-d be seen carrying her shopping bags around the mall till evening for no reason, I hurriedly bought the book (BTW till date I don't know why I bought that book) and slipped towards the elevator and found some relief once I reached the parking lot.
I sensed the weather was not too good for bird watching and so the only other option would be a good movie
But movie and without friends? Na!
So, called up my friends but none of them had off on sat… So the only other choice was to settle down on a DVD and so called up a movie buff friend of mine and asked her to suggest some good movies.
But my stars were not at place and she was in a mood for pranks and she said she’d get back to me with some movie names after a quick thought…
She messaged me some movie names after some 283 seconds and I rented those DVDs blindly from a CD store nearby with a drink and some eatables to munch along while watching the movie and raced towards home.
As soon as I reached home, I tossed the DVD into the player and started watching the movie relaxing on the sofa, 15 minutes went by and I dint understand a damn scene, half an hour and still no clue on what's happening.
Finally I took out the DVD, it was titled as DRONA, cool I still have 2 more to go, convincingly I blabbered to myself, while flipping the second DVD, it was named TASHAN and again back to square 1, I dint understand a damn scene.
Cursing my idea to take her advice, I inserted the third DVD named DEV-D and started watching and within the next 20 minutes I knew taking her suggestion was the biggest mistake I could have ever done.
Even politicians might not have committed enough sins to be watching all these 3 movies at a time, I must have committed bigger sins I thought.
The movies she suggested were too good for me to digest and just because I brought them I watched them with an interval of 30 minutes (for relaxing) for every 30 minutes of movie and hence I ruined my weekend in a wonderful way…
And now it was time for revenge, I wanted her to know how it felt to have a ruined weekend, I returned those DVDs, brought the original versions of all the three brain blasters, as a bonus added 1 more DVD GULAL on a trusted friends review
Packed them all in a neat gift wrapper and gifted it to her on her B-day which was 2 weeks later.
Hope she had a great time and an unforgettable B’day
Moral: St Agnes girls are very dangerous and never follow their suggestions/Advice blindly…
This post to be taken light-heartedly and doesn't target to offend anyone, NOT even the movie makers of the above movies… 
And if anyone of you have watched any of these movies, please tell me what it Is about, I'm still in the process of trying to understand the story of TASHAN and DEV-D
A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks the door, and says, My car broke down. do you think I could stay the night?
The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, and even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound; a sound like no other that he has ever heard.
The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, We can”t tell you. You”re not a monk.
The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way. Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of the same monastery.
The monks again accept him, feed him, and even fix his car. That night, he hears the same strange mesmerizing sound that he had heard years earlier.
The next morning, he asks what the sound was, but the monks reply, We can”t tell you. You”re not a monk.
The man says, All right, all right. I”m dying to know. If the only way I can find out what that sound was, is to become a monk, how do I become a monk?
The monks reply, you must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of sand pebbles.When you find these numbers, you will become a monk.
The man sets about his task. Some thirty-seven years later, he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, have traveled the earth and devoted my life to the task demanded and have found what you had asked for. There are 452,456,751,284,232 blades of grass and 681,461,281,987,645,785 sand pebbles on the earth.
The monks reply, Congratulations, you are correct and now you are a monk.We shall now show you the way to the sound.
The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, the sound is behind that door.
The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He asks, May I have the key?
The monks give him the key, and he opens the door.
Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man requests the key to the stone door.
The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it. Behind that door is another door, this one made of sapphire. And so it went until the man had gone through doors of emerald,….silver, topaz, and amethyst.
Finally, the monks say, This is the key to the last door.
The man is relieved to no end..
He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is astonished to find the source of that strange sound. It is truly an amazing and unbelievable sight.
But I can”t tell you what it is because you”re not a monk.
DONT BE MAD AT ME; I”M STILL HUNTING FOR THE IDIOT WHO SENT THIS TO ME
Once I asked one of my Friend, “What is the secret behind your happy married life?”
He said, “You should share responsibilities with due love and respect towards each other. Then absolutely there would be no problems.”
Me: “Can you explain?”
He: “well in my house, I take decisions on bigger issues while my wife decides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each other’s Decisions.”
Still not exactly convinced, I asked “Can you give me some examples?”
He:” well smaller issues like which car we should buy, monthly expenses, how much amount to save, when to visit home town, which furniture, air conditioner, refrigerator to buy, whether to employ a maid or not etc are decided by my wife. I just agree to it”
Me: *Confused* “Then what is your role?”
He:” My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether America should attack Iran, whether Britain should lift sanction over Zimbabwe, whether to widen African economy, whether Sachin Tendulkar Should retire etc etc.
and the best part is my wife NEVER objects to any of these”.
Me: #@#@$%E$
A Sardar, a German and a Pakistani got arrested consuming alcohol which is a severe offense in SaudiArabia, so for the terrible crime they are all sentenced 20 lashes each of the whip.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheik announced:
“It”s my first wife”s birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping.”
The German was first in line; he thought for a while and then said:
“Please tie a pillow to my back.”
This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes & the German had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain.
The Pakistani was next up. After watching the German in horror he said smugly:
“Please fix two pillows to my back.”
But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes & the Pakistani was also led away whimpering loudly.
The Sardar was the last one up, but before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said:
“You are from a most beautiful part of the world and your culture is one of the finest in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!”
“Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful highness,” Sardar replied.
“In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes.”
“Not only are you an honorable, handsome and powerful man, you are also very brave..” The Sheik said with an admiring look on his face.
“If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it.” And what is your second wish?” the Sheik asked.
Sardar smiled and said, “Tie the Pakistani to my back” !!!
“SINGH IS KING”
A hip young man goes out and buys the best car available: a brand new Ferrari GTO. It is also the most expensive car in the world, and it costs him $500,000. He takes it out for a spin and stops for a red light.
An old man on a moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to him. The old man looks over at the sleek, shiny car and asks, "What kind of car ya' got there sonny?"
The young man replies, "A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars!""That's a lot of money," says the old man. " Why does it cost so much?"
"Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the young dude proudly.
The moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?"
"No problem," replies the owner.
So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Then, sitting back on his moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice car,all right ? but I'll stick with my moped!"
Just then the light changes, so the guy decides to show the old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds, the speedometer reads 160 mph!
Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer! He slows down to see what it could be, and suddenly,
WHHHOOOOOOSSSSSHHH! Something whips by him, going much faster!
"What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?" the young man asks himself. He floors the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph. Then, up ahead of him, he sees that it's the old man on the moped! Amazed that the moped could pass his Ferrari, he gives it more gas and passes the moped at 275 mph.
He's feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him again! Astounded by the speed of this old guy, he floors the gas pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph.
Not ten seconds later he sees the moped bearing down on him again! The Ferrari is flat out, and there's nothing he can do! Suddenly, the moped plows into the back of his Ferrari, demolishing the rear end. The young man stops and jumps out, and unbelievably, the old man is still alive!
He runs up to the mangled old man and says, "Oh, my word! Is there anything I can do for you?" The old man whispers with his dying breath,
"Unhook my suspenders from your side-view mirror."
