Serendipity is one of the hardest English words to translate. (Wiki)
Serendipity is a 2001 movie about two people who put so much faith in fate, or serendipity, rather. (imdb)
Serendipity is a cute little restaurant in Upper East that is very hard to get a reservation for a weekend meal. (link to the restaurant)
And to me, Serendipity is where the girls celebrated XJ's birthday after hiking together in a huge thunderstorm. The main topics at the table were around ticks, mosquitoes and other nasty bugs, but somehow there was still something so comfortable and romantic about the girls lunch... :-)
Here are some of my favorite quotes of Serendipity from wiki:
"Serendipity is looking in a haystack for a needle and discovering a farmer's daughter." Julius Comroe Jr. (1976)
"--- you don't reach Serendib by plotting a course for it. You have to set out in good faith for elsewhere and lose your bearings… serendipitously." John Barth, The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor
"Serendipity is when you find things you weren't looking for because finding what you are looking for is so damned difficult." Erin McKean2007
