After a long time all of my friends met together in the evening. It was really after a long time, as we all were busy in our admissions and college. It was a great evening listening to everyone telling about their respective new colleges. We had a great time.

Suddenly some topic was on roll and I don’t remember exactly what happened but one of our friend said, “so this was in my destiny.” On this sentence if his, another friend was so annoyed, and he started arguing. He was totally against all this destiny stuff. He was like no there is nothing such as destiny or fate. It’s all what we have and what we are capable of getting and these words are only an excuse for not getting what we wanted.
And overall a new topic started. For an instance I agreed with him, but no, I do believe in destiny and fate. Yes I do believe that things do happen as they are in ones destiny and we can just make things better by working hard or so, but we can’t change it.
But offcourse everyone has got their own views and thoughts and I do respest my friends thoughts in not beliving in Destiny.

The best quotes I have found on destiny:

“Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for.”

“I have no regrets in my life. I think that everything happens to you for a reason. The hard times that you go through build character, making you a much stronger person.”
