#36: Late is Lucky
There are times in our lives that seem too perfectly planned to simply be chance. Some call it divine intervention, others call it luck. Whatever it is, it’s a nice reminder that maybe there’s something out there looking over us. This storyteller missed a train in Mumbai because they were running late on their way back home. For maybe the first time ever, it was a good thing they were running late.

The train that they were supposed to get on ended up being attacked mid-journey. If they hadn’t been running late, their life may have taken quite a different turn. Friends and family were afraid that they had been injured in the attack but were relieved to hear that they weren’t on that train. Tardiness is a good thing, sometimes.
