Life magazine once reported that all 15 people scheduled to attend a rehearsal of a church choir in Beatrice, Nebraska were late for practice on March 1, 1950, and each had a different reason: a car wouldn’t start, a radio program wasn’t over, ironing wasn’t finished, a conversation dragged on. It was fortunate that none arrived on schedule at 7:15 p.m., for an explosion at 7:25 p.m. destroyed the church. It was estimated that there is a one in a million chance that all 15 would be late the same evening.

A pioneer in the field of coincidences, Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung coined the word SYNCHRONICITY to explain such weird coincidences. Synchronicity is the state or fact of being synchronous or simultaneous. This word also defines the occurrence of seemingly unrelated events in some unexpected association with each other.English Bites! My 'Fullproof' English Learning FormulaManish Gupta
