Allahabad Unlimited, Luck Limited

Luck. You either have it or you don't.

You get up on a sleepy morning, and find out that the sun is killing, but gather your courage and pack your bags to go on a sightseeing expedition in a Town which has extremely limited places to visit.

You go to the museum, and find out that it is closed on mondays.

You go to the library, and find out that the only books they have on show are the state directories.

Unruffled, you move on to the Planetaurium in the blazing sun, just to find out that it's not just the museum; the entire town's government buildings close on mondays.

Tired of your excursions, you find a cyber cafe nearby, and start posting on your blog, on a system which takes exactly 9.2 seconds(ohh yea i measured it, thrice. This is the arithmetic mean) to open an Internet Explorer window after you click on the Icon.

And then, while you curse your luck sitting precariously on a revolving chair with one wheel broken, you realize that your train leaves in an hour, and you don't know how to reach your hotel.

eeks!

Hi Sameer,

I think you have choosen a worng day for visiting Allahabad.
Allahabad is a city of intellectuals and according to him museam should be open on holiday that is sunday.
But museam's employee also want holiday after all he is also a human being.So he get holiday on monday.
This place has so many Important institution where any one can come to be a lucky if he have caliber to join them.
