Aligning the stars.....

It was 5 in the evening and I was staring at the computer screen. I had just typed in my roll number and was looking at the result. It did not come as much of a surprise. I had been rejected. Maybe the stars were not aligned...........

It was 9 in the night an I was on the bike trying to cut across the road from the left to the right side. I had turned on the indicator and turned back to look at the road behind. A bus was fast approaching and thus I took the turn. Out of nowhere I collided with a scooter coming from behind. It was carrying a family of 4, including 2 small girls. Nothing happened to anyone. Though it was not entirely a fault of mine I apologised immediately. The lady on the scooter immediately said that it was not a problem and we could move on. I looked at the small girl standing in the front and thanked god nothing had happened. I thought about the whole incident. Maybe the stars were not aligned....

It was 10 in the night and I looked at cocktail in front of me. It had a pinch of vodka in it. I took a sip and realised that I had broken my resolution of not touching alcohol again. Maybe the stars were not aligned.......

It was late in the night...or was it early in the morning. I dont know. I was looking at the words that I had typed in the box on the computer screen. I read the sentence a couple of times. Was this the time to press the enter button. I deleted the sentence and rephrased it. Again my finger was lingering over the enter key. If the message was delivered then a lot could change in my life. I got up and took a short walk in the room. Was this the right time to ask. I went back to stare at the computer screen. I deleted the sentence again. It would have to wait. Maybe the stars were not aligned.......
