  A large number of processes in the mesoscopic world occur out of equilibrium,
where the time course of the system evolution becomes immensely important --
they being driven principally by dissipative effects. Non-equilibrium steady
states (NESS) represent a crucial category in such systems -- which are widely
observed in biological domains -- especially in chemical kinetics in cellular
processes, and molecular motors. In this study, we employ a model NESS
stochastic system which comprises of an colloidal microparticle, optically
trapped in a viscous fluid and externally driven by a temporally correlated
colored noise, and show that the work done on the system and the work
dissipated by it -- both follow the three Levy arcsine laws. These statistics
remain unchanged even in the presence of a perturbation generated by a
microbubble at close proximity to the trapped particle. We confirm our
experimental findings with theoretical simulations of the systems. Our work
provides an interesting insight into the NESS statistics of the meso-regime,
where stochastic fluctuations play a pivotal role.
