Life and Coincidences-Part 1

   First of all, we should understand, what is coincidence? How and why does it happen? So far nobody had been able to figure out the reasons behind them. Almost everyone has experienced the effects of this phenomenon in his or her life at one stage or the other and surprisingly enough, coincidences occur even in most insignificant things of life.

   A young ambitious actor was to appear before an interview board. It was a golden chance for him to prove his determination. But the book from which he was to prepare his role was not available to him. He searched for the book everywhere, but he could not find it. Ultimately, with great disappointment, that young actor was boarded the city bus to return home. In the bus a middle-aged man, who was carrying some book, stood by him. As the bus became over crowded, the man requested him to hold some books for him. But when he got down, that man just forgot to take back those books.
