Why the heading "lost in translation"

i forgot to explain why i chose to name my blog the way i did..

i often try to figure out what am i doing.. why am i doing.. everything that i face on a daily basis i am always trying to figure out what is the hidden meaning in it..

for those who have gone through the "Alchemist"- there is an interesting statement in that. It says one should read the omens. Everything that happened has some message in it.

let me give you a latest example.. i had to go to bombay from pune and was not keeping well. the normal procedure would have been to take a volvo and reach your destination in about 4 hours, and i was also waiting for a bus on the expressway..

guess what happens next.. A Skoda Octavia stops by and asks BOMBAY?? (the driver was going to pick up someone from bombay airport and wanted to make some money) what more could i have asked for and promptly hopped in.. the guy charded me lesser than a volvo, gave me a chilled bottle of water(apparently he had an ice box in the boot) and dropped me very close to my house in Bandra all in 2.5 hours. chauffer driven ride in an ac luxury car.

come to thinkof it.. i was not well, the bus ride would have been a pain that day and out of the blue the scenario changed..

is it not an omen??

you could choose to ignore this as a mere co incidence, OR, you could try and translate it.

thats what i mean when i say lost in translation..
