Suddenly  I  stopped  walking,  as  a  thought  struck  me.  Why  was  I

             working      for   the   extra    three    hours     in   my   office?    Why     were     the

             buses on strike on that very day?

             Why     was    I   having    an   ice   cream      that   day    from     that   particular
             vendor     while    I   did   not   even   touch   one    since   the   last   two   years?

               Yes,   I   was   destined     to   meet   the   boy   and    the   boy   was    destined

             to   have   his   ice   cream.    I   realized   that   all   these   setups     had    been

             pre  planned  so  that  the  innocent  boy  who  is  blind  to  the  luxuries
             of  the  world,  can  have  his  wish  fulfilled  just  for  this  day.  I  never

             wondered  even  in  my  wildest  dreams  that  only  for  working  three

             hours     extra,    I   can   be   blessing      in   disguise     to   this   stranger.      I
             figured  that  our  lives  are  just  a  game  of  dice,  a  game  played  by

             the    supernatural          forces     with     much       accuracy        and     tactics.

             Whenever,       we    have     a   bad   time    or   a   few   bad   days-     something

             rewarding is surely planned for us in the near future.
