Chance

Sometimes we leave things to chance. Some of us take our chances with money in the form of gambling and dabbling in stock and shares, hoping for that % chance of winning. Others can only hope for 2nd chances. I hope to have 2nd chances too. Chance is a game of probability.

Out of millions of people in India, what are the chances that you were there in Mumbai?
Out of the thousands of people, what are the chances that you were in that particular hotel that got raided?
Out of 4 million people in Singapore, what are the chances that 1, was a hostage in that hotel?
Out of the same 4 million people, what are the chances that you and the hostage were merely connected through a common friend?
What are the chances that at the end of the day, you end up consoling someone on something that happened miles away from home?

Everything in life is pre-destined. Fate has a funny way of realising chances and probabilities into reality. Cherish. Happiness in/and life is a priviledge, not an entitlement. It can be taken away if fate has its way.
