Taking to the sub-Reddit r/mangalore, a user, Zealousideal_Top2611, shared a post with the title “Felt happy, felt like sharing it.” The person informed that they are from Bangalore and their job entails travelling back and forth between Bangalore and Mangalore. Due to a fear of flying, the Redditor often prefers to travel by bus even if the company would pay for their flights.

However, due to an urgent work situation, the person had to take a flight from Bangalore to Mangalore. “I was a nervous wreck,” wrote the person and even shared that they used an inhaler like a fidget to calm down. But nothing helped soothe their anxiety. That’s when a co-passenger, a woman, wrote the word ‘Serendipity’ on a piece of paper and handed it to the anxious flier.
