Futility of Life..

It's the futility of life itself that, sometimes best laid plans can become disfunct just at the nth moment and you cannot do anything for it. And then you look back and it dawns on you that this has been a recurring thing and this is not the last time this has happened.

This particular incident which happened today, made me get the thoughts above. Today was a festival for us. Karva Chauth. My wife has been planning to go a day long fast for me :-) Well she talks to our neighbours that we celebrate together, gets a new dress, comes a bit early the previous day, makes sure that fruits are there for the d-day so that she can eat soemthing in the morning and many such small small minor details taken care of.

She gets up in the morning to eat before sunrise and then she gets a phone call.
A call which had to be made and was made on the right time. Just in time, before she was planning to start the fasting process.

And the whole thing comes to a stand still. No fast today, no celebrations for next 13 days, no crackers this Diwali, ....

Isn't this futility of life?

But when we come out, go on the usual routine, come to office, nothing. Same things and life is going on as usual.

Life just moves on...

Didn't realise this for the full day, any trace of phone call in the morning didn't enter into my thoughts, as was busy doing my work. and now in the evening, when I am done, again I am reminded of the morning call and these thoughts came rushing to me.

So thought would vent them out here, while I am at it..

Even if I didn't, life would still have moved on..

A large Indian commercial bank borrowed Rs1,000 crore from another major domestic bank at more than 20% interest rate earlier this week, a desperate move that underscores the gravity of the liquidity scarcity for some Indian banks, notwithstanding assurances to the contrary by regulators and politicians alike ....
