How often do you come across incidences like the one I am going to tell you about.

7. Jack Frost: From America to Paris
An American writer Anne Parrish and her husband were on a vacation in Paris in 1920, where they were browsing the bookshops, and Anne picked up a book that was particularly the favourite of hers as a kid “Jack Frost and Other Stories”. She told her husband that she had a copy of this book given to her by her parents in her childhood and had special memories with that book. As soon as her husband opened that book, it had an inscription on the inside cover that said,”Anne Parrish, 209 Weber Street, Colorado Springs”.Yes, you guessed it right it was Anne’s very own book from all those years ago! I also want coincidences like these!

What do you call an actual luck? In 2003, a 67-year-old woman Dorthy Fletcher was on a flight to Florida for her daughter’s wedding while she suffered a heart attack. The pilot announced for a help on call asking if there was a doctor on board and guess what, there were 15 passengers who stepped forward and they were all heart specialists who were on their way to a conference in Orlando. All I wish is for a luck like that in many walks of my life!
