Show the world you are trying...

..like yesterday when i saw my bus running away from me and instinctively decided to chase it.Well,its not easy crossing a road amidst traffic,dodging street dogs and randomly (slow) moving people.The bus moved fairly quickly but I was equal to the task,knowing that its just a matter of pushing myself until the next speedbreaker (these are the only times when I love those).But fate had something else in store for me,the bus driver seemed to be in one of those moods when he imagines himself to be flying a plane,and the speed was not slow enough for me to risk trying to grab on the door handle.The bus gained speed and I lost,and it seemed like I would have to be content with the next bus.A gentleman on a motorbike stopped beside me.Seems like he had seen my 100 meter sprint and was convinced I will be the next Olympic medallist for India,he offered to drop me to the next bus stop after overtaking the bus.I got the bus I wanted,as Paulo Coelho says in The Alchemist, "when you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true"!!!
