Say you decide to take the Shatabdi Express from New Delhi station to Chandigarh...something that you've done at least a hundred times earlier.
But this time, there's a real difference.
For just after youve boarded the train and reach out for your wallet to pay the Coolie, you disover that you've been pickpocketed...
Far more important than the money you've lost are your ID cards, particularly those related to Health and Insurance, which might take upto six months be re-made.
But then you console yourself...and finlly shrugging your shoulders, you tell yourself that it could have been far worse.
And then you carry on with your way of life and living.
Exactly two days later, your front door bell rings and standing there, are three young schoolboys. After having introduced themselves, they hand over your wallet...which is now much lighter, but still has ALL YOUR 6 ID cards.
Looking at your open mouthed surprise, they decide to enlighten you.
They were on a school trip to Delhi ZOO and saw this wallet thrown in a bin just ahead of the monkey's cages.
So they did simply what they thought they must..
And brought it back to you.
Now this would be a story that I would find hard to believe, but i did.
For it was told to us by my own Father in law, earlier today, who is delighted with this sheer coincidence.
Or I'm left wondering...
Should I re-phrase it as 'Divine intervention'?
