I have been up and about since 4.30 in the morning trying to find out if I could ever be Dame Luck’s favourite Child and still figure out ways of being in her good books!
You see, dear reader, I have never had any luck in my life. I was born in a noble family, but I ain’t sure if that was a plus or minus! You know what I’m talking about? People always expected the world from me.
Academically, I have always been a failure. I couldn’t find any decent job in my native place. I had to go, go far away from the only person I was prepared to die for in my youth, to a distant land when I finally landed up with a job.
As a teacher, I was not the one the students were raving or gloating about. Agreed, I was a popular teacher but I knew my limitations quite well. I didn’t even have the B.Ed. Degree? How can one be a successful teacher without some basic teaching tools?
So, you see, my dear friend, I couldn’t make much with my life.
Now, at the fag end of my life, I have been searching through the memories. Wait! Hang on a sec! If there is one thing that has brought a lot of happiness to my heart, it has to be the day I started to put pen to paper. And what a wealth of Peace and Happiness it has brought to my tortured soul!
God! I find only now that I’ve been Dame Luck’s Favourite Child all along. Only I didn’t realise it till the end!
