Hello - this is the universe calling

"When you want something with all your heart the universe conspires to get it for you" has long been my favorite quote and at times belief as well. The quirky mind will immediately think, why don't we get those millions that we anyway aspire even in our dreams. But rhetoric thoughts apart, i personally have realized and seen, certain things happen exactly the way it was dreamt of, the way it came in my mind. It could be the song that i was humming in my mind, a passing dialogue on some random channel that could be a response to thoughts clouding my mind or a movie scene about which i might've thought of in random. Indha mathiri mokka thanama yosikama world peace, poverty, hunger pathiya yosikka poren!!! Overaalaam expect pannapdaathu.

Simple C word to describe these is - Coincidence. It comes in different flavors basis the recipient and their mind state or the nature of the incident or the situation it presents itself. It could be a boon or curse, depending on the outcome for the respective individual. But nevertheless, none can deny its charm or mystique. I was watching "House of Cards" on Netflix sometime back and may a times it felt as if i've seen it before. May be such situations or scenes have been lifted or inspired across several productions or may be the scenes were really spelling themselves out, whatever was the reason, it did feel like a slightly intriguing watch at least till the first two seasons. While i was watching the finale of season two, guess what was happening in the actual white house!!! Biden stepped out of campaign and his VP is taking over for the next term!!! Francis Underwood is no Kamala Harris and he took charge of the existing government itself, but the coincidence was far too interesting than the actual event in itself. 

Similar thing happened when i was reading Angels and Demons and the then Pope passed away. With all those procedures mentioned in the book actually unfolding in real time, the book read became even more interesting. The fact that it was the umpteenth read of the book doesn't count. Ditto for Hillary's race against Trump that brought out some similarities from "Prodigal daughter". Hillary wouldn't be a shade on Florentyna Rosnovsky. But the comparisons were quite interesting. Ditto when Obama ran against Romeny(??) i happened to see the presidential debate Live on TV from USA, reading another book about the same topic with even more interesting speeches written. Epdi paathalum, either life is imitating art or art has become a recording of life. History doesn't just repeat itself, it even records, rewinds and plays itself in fast forward!!
