What goes around comes back around

Yes this is a song which my future husband had composed when one of his ex-girlfriends (bitch… but yayy for me :P) had dumped him. By future husband I mean Justin Timberlake (Seriously Justin, I can so makes babies with you) and by bitch I mean err.. I dunno. Anyways that’s not the point in any case. The point here is that how this song entered my life exactly at the right point and kept on reiterating till I got it all back.  Lemme tell people who have heard it before. Like Scarlett Johannsen, I didn’t cheat on my Justin, and the whole chain of series which unfolds in the song is nowhere close to what I did. The only thing which kept taunting me were these 6 words. Here’s the chronology of events:

1.   My brother came to Mumbai in June. Gave me the song. I heard. Got shocked. Swore never to listen to it again. Ended up listening to it all from Thane to Goregaon on a loop (2 hours of bus ride). Traumatized, had a terrible day at office.

2.   2 days later, was chilling in office with friends, read my horoscope, after almost a month. First line read ‘Dear Gemini, what goes around comes back around, and you need to know that’. My friends blamed it on my boyfriend, who had mercilessly broken up with me on my birthday and told its for him not for you etc. (He did come back the next day, but then friends take more time to get over your break up or patch up than you so well :P). Deep down inside I knew what exactly had to come around and I was dreading that when would it.

3.   A month later, in college the teacher caught me dozing off in class. Woke me up and said, “Avni, please don’t sleep, you see, if you sleep now, you’ll sleep in the exam also, what goes around comes back around”. I, almost terrified to death didn’t sleep that whole effing night.

4.   30^th July. Was sitting and chilling with my friend in IIT and having this bare it all talk. The only 2 things he said after I was done were, “Avni that’s so not cool” and “I believe in karma, what goes around comes back around, so you be prepared.” Scared as hell, I decided never to talk to him again. Never. (He is one of my closest friends now.  I am BBMing him as I write this piece :P)

5.   Late august, late night, I randomly made up a stupid lie and told my friend. He completely hurt and shattered by it was weeping and told me “Avni, I hope and believe that it is a lie. But such a pathetic lie was never expected. And tomorrow I seriously hope you suffer so much that you realize what you made me feel right now.” He thankfully didn’t use those 6 dreaded words but well he meant that. My Dad had told me once “If someone loves you a lot, God listens to each and every wish he makes for you. But if ever you have hurt him and the same person makes a bad wish for you, God listens to it as well. I was traumatized after my friend told me this and knew something terrible has to happen. And soon.

Well yes, I did get it all back and yes God made me learn my lesson the hard way. I did bad, and I got it back too. But there are a lot of sad and incomplete bits I realized while I was at it. Read it slowly to understand.  It is said you do bad to someone, you will get it back. That someone was always good to you and you were bad to him so you lose-lose he win-win. But how would you feel that the person himself was also never right to you in the first place ever. Now you may say he/she was wrong I also wronged hisaab barabar. But what if you realize in that hisaab barabar that person has thrown another wrong out to the universe. And yes, whatever goes around comes back around. Ask me, I’ll advocate for it.

P.S. I know this post was as vague and fictitious as it could get. I just had to get the point across. And you at times need a story to support that point. I know I have thrown a terrible piece to some of my regular readers. You also hope and pray I get back for inflicting this torture on you :P
