You must have a million times, heard
people use the Murphy phrase -
when things can go wrong, they will; at the
worst possible time, and in the worst possible way. Actually, when analyzed
closely, one would be surprised to find that the much talked about law by
Murphy holds so true in the happenings of the world today. Perhaps, Murphy had
to prove his point.
The collapse of Lehman Brothers &
Merrill Lynch was unexpected but definitely not unattainable. And the ‘possibility
factor’ was good enough a factor to motivate Murphy. In the middle of economic
chaos he lived up to his theorem by adding Indian Enron corruption to the
already dying state of economy. After all, he had to prove his point – things,
if they can, go wrong in the worst possible time.

No, Murphy wasn’t ready to fade away so
soon. He seemed to be determined to leave his mark in every walk of life –
VENI, VIDI, VICI! Following the economy,
Recession came to life. Managing homes had already become difficult, and with
the raucous recession Murphy once again became all pervading. He scared
(continues to scare) the hell out of job-holders and freshers just out of
colleges with dreams of holding plush jobs. And why not? He had to prove his
point, after all.
But if Murphy is hell bent on proving
his point right, the iconic Isaac Newton is no behind, only he is a little laid
back ( but, isn’t that’s how he became an icon – laid back in the garden
observing an apple fall!). The so called
‘worst situation’ of somebody is ‘the worth situation’ to somebody else. Remember
Vikram Jaiswal aka Farhaan Akhtar of Luck By Chance? Well,
that’s the reaction Newton gives to Murphy’s action –
For every hard luck there
has to an equal good luck. It’s just that he waits for Murphy to act first.
And yeh, like Murphy Newton too believes
in VENI, VIDI, VICI!
