Nazar Lagna - The Evil Eye Effect


Nazar Lagna - The Evil Eye Effect
 
Is there anything like called Nazar Lagna (evil eye afflictions)...not very sure, but it seems more like passing the buck.

Just quoting two incidents :-
 
1. Had bought a new expensive upscale smartphone. Liked, may be envied by many. I always feared of dropping or damaging it. Took due care and almost 10 months went past reasonably well. Charging it at the bedside was always convenient but the safety of the gadget was 50/50, as it was a narrow passage and a mild brush past the window shelf where it was kept would have resulted in it's falling down.That was expected and did happen. I  tripped on the charging cord when passing bye in a hurry, thus pulling down the mobile. Result - damaged screen. 
 
2. Have a 12 year old car, though reasonably maintained but still needs change of tyres. Out of some reason or the other, have not replaced them. This is a straight invitation to flat tyre & getting starnded. Probability is very high. Now it's a matter of chance only that how long it pulls on without getting stuck.
 
Ultimately it seems to be driving down to the point that it is the individuals carelessness which lands him/her in the trouble. Had I taken care to ensure placing the phone in a safe location for charging, could have saved the mobile from the damage. Something happened which was very much expected...so blaming others is only to console oneself. Probability of its falling was high at the location it was kept and it did happen.
Similarly getting a flat tyre when the tyres are worn out is simply inviting the trouble. A flat Tyre when they are  new is a rarity.....so by not changing them the Probability Game Starts.
 
It boils down to the fact that occurance of an incident is purely dependent on the efforts put in or lack of them.After putting in the full efforts it is the probability factor...often defined as LUCK. 

A perfect / consistent performance in any case comes out of hard work and practice. 

If you have left the margin for CHANCE in your efforts 
the PROBABILITY/LUCK FACTOR TAKES OVER.
