Conspiracies of the universe

Hi,
Wish to share an interesting experience that I had over the past week end. On Sunday afternoon I had been to a mall with my family and did some petty purchases at a department store, while the items were not many the packing boy decided to pack those in two separate bags and I took only of them home... which, as you would have guessed, I realised only after reaching home...Surprisingly the contact numbers of the store were not mentioned on the bill or on the carry bag. I thought that I would have to search them on the internet and call, which I decided to put off till Monday...However while browsing through some timepass newspaper I came across an advertisement of the same store and luckily it had the store's telephone nos. I managed to speak with the customer serivce fellow by 6 pm on Sunday and he confirmed (based on the stock codes on the bill which I read out to him) that one bag was with them and that I could come and collect it on Monday.
Had read in the 'Alchemist', book by Paulo Coelho, that if a particular thing has to happen then the universe conspires to make that happen. This incident reminds me of this...To think that firstly I normally do not browse news papers at home (as I like watching TV), secondly that the newspaper that I was browsing was Fridays newspaper and I picked it up as there was no other newspaper around me...
There is one more surprise element to this story, would write about that tomorrow...
