Man! Who knows it better than me what a blessing it can be :)
Anyway, somehow its what gives life a charm. Its that eternal hope.
IT's so weird, people usually associate serendipity with love - cos of the movie. for me its actually so much more. the course of my life, finding V, the career ive landed up in. its all serendipity!
That's true, most people associate it with only love.
But I have to side with you there, I said anyway its the eternal hope because in anything and everything the fact that you can land up where you never planned to, and love it ... it gives a charm to even the most mundane things. A very big reason for why I love travelling is this.
Moreover, it just fits my belief of the greater design :)
