Trust Fate

Waking up early today morning, I geared up for my gym session. Before leaving, my wife reminded me to take the keys along, just in case she was in the bathroom when I returned. With the keys in hand, I set out for my morning workout routine, unaware of the role they would play later that day.

As I rode my motorbike home from the gym, I felt the familiar buzz of my phone in my pocket. Ignoring the call, I tucked the device underneath the seat, between my groin and the leather cushion, focused solely on reaching home.

Arriving at my new apartment complex, I parked my bike in the basement parking lot and made my way upstairs. But as I tried to unlock the gate with my key, frustration set in. Why hadn’t my wife left the latch open if she knew I was coming home?

In a parallel scenario, had I not taken the keys as advised by my wife, I might have found myself waiting impatiently at the gate, unaware that my wife was inside, ready to quickly unlock it upon my arrival.

Reaching for my iPhone 15 Pro, I realized it was not in my pocket. Confused and phoneless, I might have lingered at the gate for some time before the realization struck me like a lightning bolt – my phone was still on the bike seat.

Without a moment to lose, I dashed back to the basement, my heart pounding with anticipation. And there it was, perched innocently on the seat of my motorbike, untouched.

Reflecting on the series of events, I couldn't help but think that everything happens for a reason. Despite the initial frustration, I realized that all is well that ends well. Finding my phone safe and sound was a reminder that sometimes, even the smallest mishaps can lead to unexpected blessings.

The First Cinematic Masterpiece of 2025 Has Quietly Arrived — And It Deserves Your Attention The year may still be young, but Coasta’s Story has already staked its claim as one of 2025’s most powerful cinematic offerings. Released quietly on ZEE5, this deeply moving film chronicles the life of Customs Officer Costao Fernandes — a man whose unwavering commitment to duty came at a tremendous personal cost. Brought to life with quiet brilliance by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, this isn't just a film; it's a salute to all those who fight silent battles in the shadows of bureaucracy and corruption. “Not all heroes wear uniforms in battle — some wear them in silence, carrying the weight of integrity.” In a country where the system is often criticized for being slow, flawed, or unjust, Coasta’s Story reminds us of the unsung heroes who continue to keep that very system standing. The film doesn’t resort to melodrama or hyperbole; instead, it leans into emotional honesty. It offers a raw ...

Aircraft vs High-Speed Trains: A Comparison

Modern jet aircraft can travel at speeds of up to 1,000 km/h. However, in commercial operations, planes usually fly at speeds between 500 km/h to 800 km/h, as speed is balanced against fuel consumption. On the other hand, high-speed trains typically reach a maximum of 360 km/h, which is roughly one-third the speed of aircraft. Despite this, trains are still highly competitive. Why is that? What Makes Aircraft “Slow”? Although aircraft travel faster in the air, several factors make their overall journey time longer: 1. Airport Location Airports are usually located outside city centers due to their large space requirements—often spanning several square kilometers. Reaching the airport typically takes around 60 minutes or more. Train stations, in contrast, are usually located in the heart of cities. Even in space-constrained urban areas, train stations can be built underground, making them far more accessible. As a result, the travel time to and from train stations is significantly shorte...
