When i was on a trip to Rapar, Kutch - Gujarat, I have visited an Army Camp. There we had overnight discussion about the " Lovely Coincidence " along with so many other incidences they have faced.
There was a young boy in a camp near Asian Berlin Wall at Jammu (LOC : Line of Control). He was tall, thin but had a great smile. Everyday, a young girl came by on the other side of the fence. She noticed the boy and asked him if he spoke polish, and he said yes. She said he would look hungry, and he said yes, he was. She then reached in her pocket and gave him her apple. He thanked her and she went on her way.
The next day, she came by again, bringing with another apple which she gave him. Each day, she walked by outside of the fence, hoping to see him, and when she did, she happily handed him an apple in exchange of conversation.
One day, he told her not to come by anymore. He told he was being shifted to another camp. As he walked away with tears streaming down his face, He wondered if he would ever see her again. She was the only kind soul he would seen across the fence.
He made it out of the camp, and shifted to another camp in Kutch, Gujarat . Later on someday, his friend fixed him up on a blind date. he had no idea who the woman was. He picked her up, and during dinner began talking of his previous camp at Jammu twelve years ago. She said she has left the Asian Berlin Wall a decade ago. She said she used to talk to a boy and gave him apples daily. He asked if the boy was tall, skinny and if he had told her that she should not come back because he was leaving. She noodled her head and replied yes.
It was her, the young girl who came by everyday to give him apples. After 12 years, they had met again. What are the odds ? He proposed to her on that very night and told her that he would never again let her go. They are still happily married today.
It reminds me the lyrics written by Javed Akhtar,
" Panchhi, Nadiya, Pavan Ke Jhonke . . . .
Koi Sarhad Na Inhe Roke . . . "
