意思
Something that is predestined to happen
文化背景
In villages, people still celebrate 'Shasthi Puja' on the sixth day of a child's life, leaving a pen and paper near the baby for the Creator to write their destiny. Classic movies from the 60s and 70s often used this phrase to explain the separation of lovers or the sudden downfall of a wealthy family. Baul singers (mystic minstrels) often sing about 'Kopale Likhon' to teach people to be humble and accept life's flow without ego. Younger generations use it ironically or as a meme when something minor goes wrong, like their phone battery dying at a crucial moment.
Use it for comfort
If a friend is sad about something they couldn't control, this is the perfect phrase to use to make them feel better.
Don't be lazy
Don't use this as an excuse for your own mistakes in a professional setting!
