Providence

Too much coincedence is one thing and little help from fate is another but i heard a story
which truly made me wonder why i(and most people for that matter) are so sckeptical.

The following is a true story about a friend in which the circumstances are all real (although the names have been changed for anynonimity)Ok we start approximately 9 years ago when i was in seventh.My freind Raj is in delhi happy being a brat and raising hell until he ends up failing a few subjects.He's gets better and becomes a much better student.Unfortunately he has to leave for jaipur and so transfers to a school there where he spends the next 2 years getting better grades.Fortunately ( and as fate would have it) he has to return back to delhi and enrolls back into the same school.This is when he comes across the lovely Tina.
Now from here the details are a bit sketchy but they spend the next two years getting to know each other and from what im told he's now in love with said lass and so as every story goes love blossoms in one heart (and im not sure in the other or not...that part was conveniently...ahem.... left out)

So the 11th has come and gone and so has the 12th and apparently the guts have not been musterered to ask lady love out yet.Now with the 12th over major entrance tests loom and those are studied for and given but unfortunately( or is it fortunate) they are dead ends.SO after searching for engg colleges in a lot of cities he decides to come to pune.
They BOTH end up here eventually ,though in different colleges.SO new city, no parents , new experiences.My friend decides to go for broke and asks her out(Finally!!!).Now i dont write depressing articles with sad endings so ofcourse she says yes.

At this point i was quite happy that they both ended up here.They are ofcourse still together and doing well.It was cool to of a love story spanning so many cities and so much time.Sounds like fate a hand to play.

The second best part? He had a hand convincing her to come here.Now good luck or fate can only help so much but somewhere you have to step up and take the plunge and so he did.

The BEST part? When he left school in delhi(to return two years later) he vacated a seat.There was only that seat vacant.
She took THAT seat.

Maybe we oughta be a little bit less cynical and believe a bit more.In the age of messy breakups and rising divorce rates this was refreshing to hear.....
