What is luck?

This is defined differently by various people! Where other ways look flimsy in getting a thing or succeeding in our effort we often depend on luck.

Sometimes, a person may be so close to success yet miss the bus. It is difficult to say why it happens that way. Despite best efforts a person fails to succeed. Some religious scholars attribute this to embarking on issues at the wrong time. Rahu kalam as it is commonly known as is said to be responsible for debacles and failures. So the religious and superstitious undertake work/jobs only after the rahu kalam is over. However, despite the effect of so called Rahu still some people succeed: this can be luck or can be attributed to a person’s good deeds in the past life.

There are a number of people who use this word loosely by luck, as luck would have it, dame luck smiled upon me…..and so on.
