Anne once read that whether or not people believe in fate comes down to one thing: who you blame when something went wrong. Do you think it's your fault-that if you'd tried better, or worked harder, it wouldn't have happened? Or do you just chalk it up to circumstance?
But for Anne, believing in fate is akin to believing in a greater force beyond human-that even after you'd tried better and worked harder, you'd still believe that something good would turn out from something bad. It isn't right to think that bad things will keep on happening, because just like good lucks, you eventually run out of bad lucks too.
That was why Anne started to doubt herself when the news about the changes made to her university placement reached her. Idealism wasn't presented to her in the form of Kasturba Medical College, but she glinted hope in J.J.M. Medical College, and she took it, believing that fate promises her something good out of the present.
Now, Anne began to see herself in a new way. She might not be as lucky as everyone else, but in the face of life-turning moments, luck never fail her. That was how she realised that she had been a lucky person all along.
