Ripples on the brain

Coming to think of it, it’s still hard to believe it is a coincidence!

The probability of a hero of a movie having your name is reasonably high (especially, as a friend tells me, if your name is so common that in a group of 5 random South Indian men, there’s 100% probability that atleast one of them will have your name; yeah I know this is an exaggeration, but you get the point!)

The probability of a heroine in a movie having your wife’s name is medium, considering she does not have a very South Indian sort of a name.

Now what is the probability that in a movie, both the hero and the heroine have your name and your wife’s name respectively? Pretty low I would think.

Let’s go a step further. What is the probability that a movie *actually* has (and just has) your name and your wife’s name and the lead characters have your name and your wife’s name? It’s very hard to believe it is possible!

Such a movie got released on April 10th here! However, the twist in the tale is that the movie didn’t cross the second day in many theatres. We planned to watch the movie in theatre, but couldn’t find one that was still showing the movie even as early as April 15th .
