True Kalyani, in hind sight one can see how things could have been different if only.... I guess that is what is called destiny , fate or whatever else ! I personally can quote so many small incidents where I went against my intuition and faced the consequences, at times you simply cannot decide which is the right course of action especially when there are too many opinions thrust on you !
It is an interesting article. It is true that everything in this world has a specific time and it should happen at that time. It seems that even if the circumstances are different, a set of internal programs influence the circumstances and re-organize the random events to make them happen at their destined moments. We call it destiny or the Law of the Universe.
Very true Ramakrishnan, everything is predestined and no one can change the course of events, people may call destiny or luck as nothing but nonsense, but I firmly believe in it, no one can alter destiny. It is the design of the destiny that is at work, we cannot meddle with it, but can only work to probably change the results of it.
There are times when you now that you are not taking the most suitable option but you are compelled to so because of circumstances ..I remember a couple who were planning to fly down to Mangalore on a certain day postponed it by 3 days because they were getting a better fare and that plane crashed and almost all passengers died ..
