The walk of life......

His parents had an arranged marriage, so they had little option but to marry each other..
He was born in 1964, because that was when his parents decided to have him.....
He did not spend his initial life in a big city, because his dad didnt like big cities...
He didnt get educated in any big reputed school, his small town didnt have any...
He wanted to study a particular subject in the famous university in the big city, but he didnt get it because they had a massive quota for locals... so went to a lesser university...
He wanted to go abroad for his masters degree, but realised they laid a big emphasis on his educational pedigree.
He started teaching at the famous university he had wanted to study in, and felt a small victory.
It turned sweeter when he met the woman he wanted to marry, she also taught there...
And more sweeter when she gave birth to their son....
a few months later, the child fell sick, because of food poisoning in his baby food!!
he took leave, but she decided to go because she had already used up a whole lot of hers...since she was in a hurry, he decided to get breakfast from the hotel across the road...... and got killed while crossing the road..........
if he had a different set of parents, who decided to have him earlier, and live in a big city,and send him to an international school there, he might have studied the subject of his choice in the big university, gone abroad, not taught at the big university, nor met his wife, nor had the son who had the bout of food poisoning, and so he wouldnt have to cross the road....
and they say you make your own destiny...
until next time, just enjoy the walk, while it lasts....
