Serendipitous

That's the only way to describe this situation.

Praveen and I are heading to the airport to catch the late night jet flight to Brussels (YEA!!!) and we decided to catch a drink & some dinner before the flight at our old Sun Mumbai watering hole, Maharaja. This is a place that, once upon a time, was full of Sun folks at the end of a largely exhausting day. This was a place where we all came to drown our sorrows, even tho ours sorrows were accomplished Olympic level swimmers. But I digress here.

We landed at Maharaja hoping to see someone from the old gang busy banging away their glasses on the worn wooden tables. Instead, we were greeted by a room full of strangers an not a single known person in sight.

As we stepped out for a breath of fresh air after leaving our bags at the table, we bumped into Sri Bobby, our very own Sun veteran and buddy. And he was there only because his Travelhouse driver was still having dinner, so our man decided to have a "paan" at the paan shop near Maharaja.

And he bumps into us!

And he's staying at the Maratha...which is right next to the international airport!

And he can help us get something from the Maratha that we have been trying to get before we leave!

And he can help us with our return journey as well!

Now you tell me if there is a better word to describe this situation than Serendipitious! :)
