this incident happened close 2 year n a half back. i was returning from college it was some kinda of puclic holiday n was waiting at the station 2 take my train as is the case with the trains normally they happened 2 be late n i took a seat besides a young couple. both were dreesed in formal business like clothes n was aparent from their talk that they were old friends who had happened 2 meet by chance. having nothing 2 do n 4 the sake of sheer fun i evasedropped their conversation. the girl was talking about her workplace n her group manager. she was relating a recent incident which occured when the company had gone 4 a picnic. she was sharing this anecdote told 2 her by the group manger. it seems the anecdote was picked up from a book written by harivanshrai bachan, the late father of the iconic amitabh bachan. it went this way n the reader is free 2 make his own interpretations of the content based on his level of understanding .n by he way its in hindi with a translation in the end.
1- : "aapne kuch socha aur woh hua toh accha hain."
2- : "aapne kuch socha aur woh nahin hua toh aur bhi accha hain"
by this time my train had come n i caught it. musing over what she said n inwardly smiling at the varied interpretations of this quote n 2 which i added 1 of my own 2 present the perfect climax
3- : "aapne kuch nahin socha aur woh hua toh isses accha shayad hi kuch hain"
translation--it might not necessarily retain the charm of the original
1- : 'u contemplate something and it happens that is a good thing'
2- :'u contemplate something and it does not happen that is a better thing'
3- :'u dont contemplate something and it happens that is probably the best thing'
