“You were like a beautiful dream,
Serendipity… It’s one of my favorite words. Not because it is heavily loaded with syllables, but there’s something in the word that pulls me to itself – the sound, the meaning, the pronunciation… I know not! But what I know is, that like a lot many believers of destiny, I too believe in the fortunate accident!
A life with you, was all I could see,
And you weren’t mine was what everyone said,
But we ended up together, ‘coz YOU were the one for ME!”
Sometimes I sit back and wonder, why a certain incident, or an event, or a person happened to me; that could be as important as a friend or as coincidental as a the florist I would’ve met on my way to work. There are so many things, the reason to which we are blinded to, but then they happen for a reason! And may be, after a long time we realize their purpose in our life…
So like all other things, I relate this one to love as well… For me, if someone is really ‘the right one’ for you, you would get signals from up there. The graver question being that what are those signals – I guess they could be anything from you calling out to the same cab (pretty clichéd, I know!), or maybe just saying similar things all the time, or having exactly same interests, or your playlist never ceasing to play their favorite song or ending up together even when you’ve parted ways, or anything that would lead you to that person despite the fact that you try to run away from them… I guess, that’s destiny! Destiny in itself sounds such a heavy ephemeral soul-searching kinda word; but I think DESTINY is what gives us, not what we want, but what we need!!!
But love, it goes beyond those boundaries, and we do not wait for the right person to fall in love, rather make love rightly to all the wrong ones, till one day someone walks in and shows how much important you can be, and that life’s beautiful not because you have someone, but because someone has you! And that feeling, honestly, is the world’s most contented one. It becomes even more beautiful when you end up with the same person, and even if you don’t – someone would walk in your life and make you feel love the way you made the other person feel and that, my dear, would be your moment of SERENDIPITY!
