Prophetic........am I??

Disclaimer: This post is  not  entirely a work of fiction.  Please spare the writer some liberty to try her hand at writing something she has recently caught fancy of: “self- importance” only for the following  reason listed below  :P :P

Time and again I always ask myself : “Am I a potential prophet?”  Preposterous as it may sound, please refer the disclaimer.. I think each one of us would have at least once encountered this feeling, when things go awry for people we forewarn: “Hey, I told you. You shouldn’t have done that” and may sometimes sympathize that person or people or, would share a secret satisfaction that at least now people will pay heed to your advice. Let me share a few recent instances that may help you know from where do  I  attain  my conviction…..

A lot of instances of my prophecy revolve around a troika   A, B, C (  among my closest friends). This is because they represent the  typical women folk - I don’t want to sound chauvinistic ,but still. Every time I tell them to be wary of something or recheck , they  tell me to not be too skeptical about things.& later I share my moment of glory of “I told you so…..blah blah”. There were a series of instances where “A” was highly exasperated when I explained to her my prophecy .She finally had to give in, not because she bought the fact but may be as she was fed up of my remarks. B accepted it and C , well had no option but to accept her faulty decisions. Other instances would be: the weather, college , or our much awaited project to name a  few  A recent joke in a tabloid supports me :

“People will accept your ideas much readily if you tell them that Benjamin Franklin said it first.”

.I think everyone experiences this and could possible claim to be one. This isn’t because they have had recent encounters of “divine interventions” ,but because they have decoded/guessed / concluded from past experiences the end result of such incidents.

This can be better termed as instinct , intuition and sometimes coincidences. To be recognized as a “fortune teller or  ”soothsayer” with limited skills and great chances of luck favoring your predictions ,you need to be vocal. If not, your audience will display nothing but exasperation or incredulousness as in my case  mentioned  above. Finally some “food for thought”  : Check whether you too have prophecy imbibed in you or were you just  favored by Lady Luck.on a series of incidents that lead to the above conclusion .

Till d next time:
