Phenomenal Occurrences

Some occurrences are so phenomenal and mind boggling that we fail to extract a logical explanation to quench our thirsty curiosity. Most of the people do not even take notice of such incomprehensible episodes of life. However, I would like to mention here two types of happenings, which have a regular trail of repetition in my life since early childhood.

I started noticing at an early age that whenever I felt too much emotional inclination towards a person and I expressed my true sentiments, I lost him. It mostly happened on the same pattern. I have always been very selective in choosing friends and the ones that I picked had something exceptionally different from the common lot. We shared a lot with each other including private moments of solitude to exchange innocent words of heart and other little secrets like saving five paisas in a week from pocket money, having a chance of sneaking a quick look into father's wallet, thinking about using shaving razor but without a blade in it etc. etc.

Only God knows why but I mostly had one friend's company at a time. And there has always been a ferocious battle inside whether to tell others about that friendship or not. I mostly succumbed to the temptation of disclosing the truth only to be punished with a break-up without any apparent reason. And those break-up never reverted again. It occurred when I was only 6 and it occurs now when I'm 54. Is it not phenomenal?

The second most puzzling coincidence of my life is that whenever I visited or passed through a certain place frequently without any forethought, it just happened that either I soon got a job within the vicinity of that place or was forced by the conjured up circumstances to spend long hours of time there. A sort of compulsive binding pushed me towards that specific place or area for weeks and months onward without my conscious realization that circumstances were driving me to comply with their will. Such routines continued for certain duration and then everything came to a standstill as if nothing unusual had ever happened.
