We've all felt it - that invisible force we call luck.
- Easy questions in an exam? - Lucky break.
- Fail anyway? - Bad luck.
- A sudden accident? - Unlucky.
- Walk away with just a scratch? - Miraculous luck.
Luck is the name we give to random, unexplained events. It tilts the scales, sometimes in our favor, sometimes against. We notice it most in moments that don't make sense.
Why are we obsessed with luck?
Because luck gives hope without rules. You don’t need talent, money, or lineage. Just the right moment. When efforts fail, luck keeps our dreams alive. More than believe in it, we bargain with it. We wear gemstones that “activate prosperity,” tie sacred threads, hang yantras on our walls. We pay experts to “fix” our luck, redesign homes to appease Vastu, cancel meetings because the time isn’t auspicious. A black cat crosses the road and we brake. A hotel room ends in 13 and we flinch.
Luck is full-time business.

Do these charms work?
Nobody knows. What we do know is that they offer comfort when life feels unpredictable. They soothe the mind. They help us believe life is negotiable, though no ring or ritual can replace genuine desire or hard work.
Can we change our luck?
We can’t control chance, but we can control how often chance finds us. Psychologist Richard Wiseman studied chronically “lucky” people and found something surprising. They aren’t magical. They’re simply more open, more curious, more observant, and quicker to bounce back when things go wrong.
Luck vs. Fortune
Think of luck as a quick, random spark—a lottery win.
Fortune is the lasting fire—the legacy you build over time.
Luck is like WiFi: invisible, always around, noticed only when you’re connected.
So what’s the luckiest moment of your life? Share it. Someone else might find hope in your story.
