Luck Is !

The trip to Tirupathi, being two full days, gave us a lot of time on hand.

The tirumala main darshan was scheduled for Day 2. On Day 1 we did three other temples, decided to give one visit a go by.

What did we do instead? We decided to stay in the room and play cards... we played rummy.

Moms played a lot, I've played some, but we've never played together before. And some experience that was.

It was impossible to beat mom at it.  I could start with a sequence and yet lose. I could get two jokers and still she'd win. I couldn't believe it. With each passing game I could only gape. And it's not like I'm bad at rummy.....it was just so lopsided, that I had to finally pause and ask "what the hell ma, how are you doing this?".

And then she smiles and says, almost like a confession, "it's always been like this, people would almost refuse to play with me as I'd always win, don't know how". She went to a casino in Vegas, and she's the only one in the family who won some whopping amount. Fascinating.

So , now you know why the 'Luck is' :)
