Why is life so unfair?

Today, the day started normally, the same morning chores and delays..
Who would have known what lay in store!

The moment I reached office, I was called by my manager for a discussion which I would say did not end on a very good note.
Then came the worst news of the year..My sis didnt get selected through the ISB. She had worked so hard for it. Her amazing GMAT score, 6 on 6 for the essay and an interview call from ISB..everything was going so well...
The reason given for not selecting her was "Bad Interview"..
Come to think of it, in the interview panel there are normally two people and that day there was just one person present. The other one had gone out for some visa work in the Embassy...
It seems to me now that it was ill fated....

I know every one who goes through this think why me... but I am thinking why her??
I have seen her slogging day and night for this...reading till early hours of morning even after a tedious day in office...

God, I don't know your reason for not making this happen but I sincerely wish you have something better in store for her!!

Valentines Day vs Valentines week

As the v-day approaches all major stores are having big discounts, newspaper is full of advertisements for parties to be held at hotels, pubs and discs..
The other day on second or third page of TOI there was a full page archies ad informing about the valentines week..with each day being given a different name.. like rose day, teddy day, hugs day, kiss day........
It seemed so funny! These companies are marketing and playing with feelings..
They set such high expectations...Imagine giving or receiving gifts or cards everyday according to the day prescribed...
I am not if I am able to cleary state my point of view here..
But do we really need such over hype on things like this???i agree v-day does have a significance..but a v-week.............
Surely that sounded a new, higly over rated concept to me!!
