Destiny wanted Sachin to win the World Cup

"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it" - Says Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist.

Exactly similar sentence is there in Om Shanti Om, where SRK says -
"अगर किसी चीज़ को तुम पुरे दिल से चाहो तो पूरी कायनात तुम्हे उससे मिलाने की साजिश में लग जाती है
इतनी शिद्दत से तुम्हे पाने की कोशिश की है, की हर जर्रे ने मुझे तुमसे मिलाने की साजिश की है."

Isn't this what to happened with Sachin today? Given 'Six' chances to continue batting..... whole universe (including that camera which captured one frame to save him from stumping) is conspiring to make sure that Sachin wins the World cup.

All the 'life lines' given today to Sachin are 'Omens' of what is waiting to happen in the final!!!

(Now that, we have won the world cup, writing this does not make sense, but it was written on the Semi-final day, when we won against Pakistan. It was laziness on my part to put on blogger)
