SerendipitY

There was this month long Europe tour in 1994. Raj with all his friends in London decided to attend the tour. Simultaneously, Simran in some other part of the city convinced her father to allow her to attend the same tour. Life ki comedy dekho, both took the same train and both were late to catch it. No body else than Raj observed the lady running desperately to catch the train. He somehow managed to get Simran on board AND the legendary love story begins. Now that is some fortunate accident.

It was one another lazy afternoon and Isaac was taking a nap under the tree. The poor tree was not strong enough to handle the weight of the lucky Apple and he wasnt hungry at that time. That is where the term gravitation was coined. What if he was hungry then????

He used to take the regular 7 o'clock local for his office. He never missed it. But somehow that day he was late and missed the train. Later on, that train burst into debris as a part of the series of Mumbai Local train blasts. That was fortunate!!!!

Bhagat Singh was a fan of Gandhiji in his childhood. But due to some agitation during the the Satyagrah movement, people burnt the police station at Chauri Chaura and Satyagrah was called off by Bapu. A new face of the Indian Freedom Struggle in the form of Bhagat Singh was born. So burning of the police station and subsequently calling off the movement was a fortunate incident for India!!!!

While casting for Sholay, the makers of the movie approached Danny Denzongpa for the role of Gabbar (imagine!!). Since he was busy with a Firoz Khan's movie he refused the offer. Hence the role went to the new guy Amjad Khan and one of the greatest villains of all time was characterised. Intrestingly Sholay won only one filmfare.

Some great man said " No accidents occur without intentions". I dont believe in him. For me no accidents are without some significant conclusion. When the conclusion turns out to be fortunate then we are the victim of Serendipity
