Red Dupatta Out Of The Blue

I had got a new red coloured kurta which I wanted to wear to work the next day itself. I had a matching chudidar. But at work I always wear Indian formals, that is chudidar- kurta with a dupatta. But I did not have a red dupatta. So before sleeping I told myself that out of the blue I will get a dupatta somehow!
I leave for work at about 8 30 in the morning. Every single shop I saw on the way was closed. But I was still positive. I knew I was stepping in at work in complete Indian formals! I boarded the train. And in the train there was a woman selling dupattas! Of every colour and variety! I have never seen this woman in the train for all the time I have been travelling! But she came that day and I got my a red dupatta.
And the best part is I have never seen her after that day as well!
