koli's coincidence

i have been neglecting my blog for sometime. a month to be exact. so a thousand apologies goes to you, my dear diary.

two weeks ago i came up with a hair-brained idea (during one of my rare eureka moments) where i thought i'd invited my lovely, yet bonkers friends to send in posts to my blog, especially when cool things happen in their lives. i have herewith provided a promising platform for those posts which define both epic and funny, and to start off my initiative, here's what koli had to say about a little incident in her life. Thanks a bunch, my dear :-). Enjoy reading, readers:

"Everyone has had those rare occasions when one was feeling too bored and idiotic enough to visit a random chat room and start chatting with some random guy… well I did too, a rather embarrassing one as you would have guessed. I was about 17 when I found this guy, let’s name him Mr. M, he was wayyy older than me, he was doing his MBA in London, but was from India. We started exchanging mails and we got close, as close as close can get through e-mails… I mean in a platonic way ppl, nothing else!! Atleast on my side… so, when I turned 18 and had to go to India for my Degree I realized this could get risky to continue mailing him, since he was in Chennai too. So I very nicely told him that I won’t be mailing him anymore, after telling him that I was moving to India, (of course ppl what 18 year old in her right mind can make a correct decision.) But then I realized my mistake and stopped all communication with him, but apparently by then he started to “like” me,) but that was the end of that.

Couple of years later… the small world that this earth is… I happened to meet him… not meet “meet” him…but ya, somewhat… how?? I was going to Dance for Mr. M’s own sangeet function that was to happen the day before his wedding. Coincidence??? Uhh.. I think so… I was Mr. M’s sister’s best friend from college. Yes. Things like these do happen in real life too..."

64

Today I was going to meet my friend Cat for lunch at her place, which was at #64 Blah blah Road, Colombo. Since I was planning on getting to her house by bus, Cat had given me specific instructions on how to get there, and knowing me, I'm quite bad with directions and numbers. So there I was in the bus, which was thankfully not crowded, siting next to the window and thinking to myself "Now what number did she say her house was? Oh yes, it was #64 wasn't it?" and two seconds later, when was the bus was way before my stop, I saw a huge (and totally random) board in front of a building with just the number 64. The number 64 was pretty big!!! And I felt like I literally brought that #64 board into existence by thinking it. WOW! It was so weird.

Anyway, I thought I should mention this here (being a coincidence and all) but seriously, I sincerely hope that my life doesn't turn out to be Final Destination Part 4, where I can think the future. But then again, maybe I'm just making a mountain out of a molehill.
