The Murphy Day

The Murphy's law infamously states that if anything can go wrong, it will.
Well, this shit did get real.

A lot of things that day did go wrong, but that is not what I want to talk about. What I do want to list are the lessons I learnt.

1. Be strong enough to say No. You may think that you are being impolite, or that somehow it could be managed later on, but more often than not, it will only make matters worse. If you have done something which you could have avoided did not owing to your laziness or preconceived notions, be honest about having done it. With yourself and the person you are hesitant to say No to. It will do both of yourselves a lot lot better.

2. If driving alone make sure you navigation system does not hamper with your driving. If the system is your phone, make sure it is fully charged. If not, carry a charger with you. If you don't have a charger make sure you note down the driving directions and keep them offline. 

If you don't manage to do even that, and your phone dies on you when you are right on a highway, take the next exit and get the directions right. When you are travelling back from a new location, and aren't very sure of the directions, Do Not hesitate to ask for help and directions. If you think you can find the way back from the signs on the highways, you might be able to do that, but if you aren't and get lost on an exit with no people around, good luck getting help from the trees.

3.  Never park your car in a bushy undergrowth without knowing if it is firm ground. A towing truck would become your only means of salvation.

The points should be suggestive of what transpired with me on that eventful day. It did cost me a hefty sum inclusive of a ticket, late return fees, towing costs and a pair of irreversibly damaged shoes.

Hoping people after reading this, don't undergo the same ordeal if not already wise enough.
