Coincidences

A lot of coincidences happen in our lives, I have them every-time, everyday, or even whenever I think about coincidences. To take an example, I was listening to a song and I burped. The burp, came with such a timing, that I felt it was a part of the composition, and hence, I imagined burps throughout the song after every 4 beats.

Another example is when I had been to eat at a place near my office. I was busy eating and listening to my favourite music. I was the lone brown and everyone else were Brits. I don't know how, but the song, "Sarfaroshi ki tamanna" from the movie "Legend of Bhagat Singh" started from the shuffled list. I couldn't resist a smile.

This isn't it with my musical coincidences. It was just today, when I was sitting calmly in my train to office, when, at one stop a mob of kiddies entered the train with chaotic chirps. I could see the changed expressions of a few old ladies. But then, "Kho naa jaye ye Taare zameen par" from "Taare Zameen Par" started playing on my ipod and I started laughing irresistibly. It was such an involuntary reaction, that a few ladies standing beside me checked their makeup and dressing out of self-consciousness.

Other horrible coincidences I usually experience are: crashing of a software while client is on the verge of withdrawing the contract for not sticking to his specified deadline; death of my mobile battery when I am about to call a friend for the address where I'd meet my friends; spilling of food on a white/off-white/light blue shirt; and last but not the least is when toilets are miles away when I have an extreme urge of peeing. But this is eased sometimes as even if you don't find a toilet, you'd certainly find a McD which is a public toilet for me. The only healthy thing it can offer.

Coincidences are truly memorable sometimes, so please share any extraordinary coincidences if you have in the comments section.
