ZEMBLANITY

I want you to consider the particular and peculiar irony of zemblanity on the island of Sri Lanka
It’s like expecting a cup of warm delicious coffee and getting a cup of cold and bitter Sanka
The irony is strong but different in experiencing serendipity on the Nova Zembla peninsula
It’s like expecting a dry stale barley bun and finding one that is fresh and warm of cinnamon

(Noun — an unlucky or unwanted, but predictable, event.)
