So much for Murphy's law - here is our very own "Burphy's" law

Burphy's Law

If there are chances that you’ll grow fatter this diwali, then probably, you will.

Burphy's law is an adage in our eastern culture that broadly observes how things go wrong during Diwali, even without us realizing that they did. Having said that, the knowledge of Burphy's law will not  help in any given undesired situation. And if you do apply Burphy's law, sadly it will no longer be applicable.

#10 – Feelings of regret while on the shitpot the following morning can only be attributed to the number of kaju & anjeer burphys you ate the night before.

#9 – The light you see at the end of the tunnel is actually a phuljhari.

#8 – The only thing that goes higher than a Diwali rocket is your budget for Diwali expenses every year.

#7 – How good you look in your newly bought clothes is directly proportionate to the chances of the fire cracker sparks lighting burns in it.

#6 – The first myth of Diwali is that it’s a festival of lights.

# 5 – The number of relatives in your house the day of the Laxmi pujan is directly proportionate to how successful you are as a human being.

# 4 – The amount of time spent in drawing the front door Rangoli varies directly with the chances of the neighborhood kids stepping on it.

# 3 – How good the current market conditions are can be judged by the thickness of the smog blanket on your city, the consecutive day after Diwali.

# 2 – The higher up you are, the more the happy diwali sms forwards you are rewarded with.

# 1 – Eco-friendly Diwali is an oxymoron.
