Luck By Chance!!!

To people who (are jobless enough to) read my blog regularly, it is no secret that I lost my wallet at a multiplex. I had bunked office and went with Anjana for the movie Luck By Chance. And yeah, I was careless, to say the least.

Yesterday (15 days after I lost it) my mom called me in the evening and told me that someone had mailed the wallet and all its contents to my hometown (to the address printed in my Driving License). There was no "From" address and it was sent through ordinary post (not couriered). It had the postal stamp of Mogappair Post Office, Chennai. Hats off, to the gentleman/lady who was kind enough to send across my wallet, which contained almost all of my critical documents (in original). If you are, by any chance, reading this, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! I really had lost all hopes of retrieving it... I thought these days people have no time for all this and had lost faith in humanity and selflessness of people.

But by proving me wrong, God has told me loud and clear that the world is not such a bad place to live in after all... And you can afford to be careless sometimes (Amma, don't yell at me). It was just yesterday that I and Anjana had had a chat about how she had been careless with her mobile. It was then she told me, "You can be careless, but you should be lucky as well..." And I, for once, had become lucky, after all. It was Luck By Chance!!!

    Hey hey, enough man... You don't have to cry out from the rooftops that I bunked office and went to a movie.
    First of all, I have asked my mom to take a copy of all the original and send me the duplicates alone. :-)

    Well, yeah, I could say I have had a lucky Tuesday too. I actually had very little cash in the wallet, around 150 bucks... But no cash was there in it when it was returned. But chalta hai... I have got the documents and am damn happy about that.

    My team mate also felt such a love story developing, but that is not happening coz there was no "from" address in the envelope... By the way, have you forgotten about Sabal?
