A few minutes back I was watching the hockey. match between India and England.While watching the match I was thinking about one of my friends who was my classmate in high school.He was also a hockey lover like me.Years ago his family left the town and I don't know where they are now.
I was watching the match and thinking about him.The match ended in a draw and I switched off the tv.
Just when I was leaving the room;my phone rang.The person on the other end was the same friend of mine who I was thinking about.He. told me that he was also thinking about me while watching the match.
Was not it a one-off coincidence??

I might have been asking him if he was watching the match through a camera in the corner of my living room if that had happened to me.
I'm glad your friend got in touch with you and you had something so interesting to talk about to start the conversation off. 3 people like this

@ifa225 Actually we both love hockey and football and used to watch hockey and football matches together.May be this is the reason behind the coincidence.
