Anything but easy

Some people have it so easy that it makes me sick while most including yours truly have to run from pillar to post for people to even acknowledge their mere existence.

Say, the day you fall sick and are entitled for a leave is the exact day when the whole world seems to be choking you with work. And you are left with no option but to wish the world to come to an end so that you can atleast rest you’re back for a couple of seconds if not more. But hey, how can you forget that you don’t feature in that list of the privileged few?

As if that’s not enough, while you’re struggling to come to life you do get to see your colleague (in the very next work station) taking a nap with no phone calls to intrude. Makes me wonder how come every time this same colleague gets to go on mid-term long holidays more so when a new pitch or work knocks at the doorstep? Even miraculous is the fact that this same person never misses a single appraisal and makes double than what I bring home (even without moving a muscle)? The only thing perhaps he does better is the generous distribution of butter when the biggies are around. Aren’t these big bosses worried about their rising cholesterol level with the consumption of so much butter?

Professional life is just a part of it. What about the days you’re already late; the traffic seems to be even denser? Why does the entire world have to be late too? Or when you are fighting with time not on your side, do you happen to be greeted with all the red signals that falls on your route? Perhaps even the ones that do not have the reputation to function also wake up suddenly and glare with bright red eyes.

Have you ever thought that how come you also bump into the same person whom you’ve been avoiding for the last decade? That too in situations where you just can’t avoid exchanging pleasantries even if there is nothing pleasant to share. The plot thickens further when you are with somebody special and your way crosses with some nosy neighbour or relative who leaves no stone unturned in going public making you a celebrity overnight.

The list can go on for endless pages yet such is life which is thoroughly unfair. Do let me know if you feel likewise else will feel left out in this unfairness.
