a little bit of luck

What is the difference between success and failure? All other things being equal, does it not boil down to the 'something' factor - the small quirks of fate that turn things around? One can try all one likes, if it's not going to happen, it won't. And if it has to happen, hindsight will reveal perfect actions on the individual's part. Even if things were to go wrong, somehow you will be able to turn them around.

So is this a blog about destiny versus human actions? I'm afraid no. If only things were that simple. Oddly enough, I think the big picture comprises of smaller bits of both karma and kismat. Luck and hard work together make the winning combination. Seldom can one survive without the other.

So with a hope in my heart, a song on my lips and a tea cup in my hand, I am seeking a little bit of luck. Will it change my world? Who knows...

Karma and kismat indeed go hand in hand...one superior than the other at every stage in life - but who is to know which of the two is more superior in a given situation? Only time can tell.....
