Meant To Be
Sometimes, against any will or inclination on my own part, I am forced to believe in the meant-to-be.
It happened a couple of days ago, a tiny occurence by general standards, yet not lost on me for it's sheer message. Anyway, what happened was that the folks decided upon impulse to go out for dinner. When we reached the restaurant, it was absolutely packed, obviously with movie-goers to the nearby theatre. So it was decided to wait it out, and kill time at the Oxford bookstore nearby. So far so good.
Now this bookstore is particularly jinxed for me. I never really managed to find a book I felt like buying from there, and even the one or two that i HAVE somehow bought have never been completed or truly enjoyed. So i had learned to visit this one bookstore with no exceptional enthusiasm.
This time i loafed around browsing, enjoying the superb airconditioning more than the choice of Doyle, Brown and Keats. Then I walked over to a not-so-promising corner. And there, i found it.
The book said, 'Wake up and Dream!' I picked it up instinctively and started reading...and soon i was dreaming.
It just yelled out to me to buy it. It couldn't wait, it was the only copy left. Hmmm..not very costly either. None of the pro's and con's mattered , though, coz i knew the book was mine the moment i had picked it up.
Oh, and now it is officially mine.
That very morning I had been having a heart-to-heart with God and I had asked Him a question. And this was how He answered. Perfectly. Like a piece in a jigsaw puzzle.

A diversion from a freak dinner date, at 10 in the night, and a question in my head. Time, place and circumstances do not matter where the answer is meant to be.

Yeah! And funnily, it isn't so hard for me to believe. Too much na?
u are forced to believe in the meant-to-be...and yet the signs come so clearly and poignantly...there's a movie "only fools rush in"...with matthew perry in it...and there's a line that says that signs are everywhere, sometimes you just gotta open your eyes and look...they make it sound so simple...and then there's your blog...
u're on a role hun...miracles and signs...savour every lesson, strengthen your faith...

i'd say not signs, but answers are everywhere.
