They say-it takes just a few seconds for fate to take a miraculous u-turn. They say-destiny takes its own due course, and that the events in this course may seem miraculous. Fate, Destiny and Miracle…the three words I had absolutely no belief on.

I remember that after losing the Inter School Quiz Competition and standing 2nd, in class X^th, I almost broke into tears. The Teacher accompanying us said “There’s something called destiny”. I got very cantankerous by her statement, and retorted that I write my own destiny. I guess it was since then, that I developed this hate against fate and destiny…and also miracles…and kept on raging an unending war against them.

But then, Me being a mere mortal…what stature do I have to hold them back. They subdued me and made me surrender to their might. Now, I too, am their patron. (If you guys remember…that I used to be their ‘Victim’). It was only their might and valour, that after being rejected once in the interview of Amdocs Pvt. Ltd. (a company which bars such candidates from reappearing for any interview for 1 year)…I was called again for another interview. And this time I got selected, that too with a pay hike of almost 80% and, the icing on the cake was, the promotion. I was supposed to join as a Senior Subject Matter Expert (SSME). I come home, jumping and hopping and dancing already amazed by the turn of fate…only to find the ‘Unconditional Offer’ of a seat in the MBA course of University of Leicester.

For the next 2 minutes, I was like, how? I exceeded their deadline to submit the recommendations. I did submit the recommendations, when they made a request through e-mail. The School of Management, University of Leicester is ranked 2^nd in UK for Business and Management, by The Guardian Newspaper. It was the most ideal University for me, if not the dream University. And I have got an admission there? I mean, how? And, of course, WOW!

Then the reality sinks in…My days are changing…Things are happening for me. But, two many things, all of a sudden, on my head. Both equally lucrative(at least, at that moment, they seemed so). Both equally difficult to achieve…and I have both in my hands. And again..my mind saying..Now what?

A raging debate starts….Prolongs…for days to come. Participants are many-Me, My Mind, My Heart, My Parents, My Sisters, My Friends, My So-called Friends…And the arguments…from absolutely marvellous to absolutely outrageous…from completely prudent to quite nonsensical. Comparisons were being drawn, judgements were passed…Sometimes it used to get quite heated up…Sometimes it crossed the manors of sanity…Very few people supported the idea of joining Leicester. Rest all wanted me to remain a face in the crowd.

After all this, I decided. I decided…to walk a path less trodden…I decided …not to remain a face in the crowd…I decided…to experience the New. Risks were…and are many…but so will be the profits…when the gamble pays off. And I cannot be sceptical… I hate being the one who has eyes only for faults, and shortcomings…I cannot think of bad and worst scenarios only…and act accordingly. I like to see the glass half full…I believe the day will be the brightest, when the night was darkest…I believe that good things will happen to me…as and when I start believing in them. We need to be positive thinkers always…that’s how we’ll attract good and better things in our lives..that’s what is the secret of life… ‘The Law of Attraction’(A whole new concept which will be taken up in some other episode).

So, as the fate would have it…things again started happening. I got funded by My Uncles. Arranging for fees and finance ceased to remain a problem. Got the loan sanctioned for the remaining amount. Applied for an early exit and not serving the complete notice period in the company…that too got sanctioned. Applied for the Student Visa, quite late, and got it well within time. Well! All the things mentioned here did not happen as smoothly as I have mentioned here, there were plenty hitches and glitches and hiccups…all probably again because…at the back of my mind I always keep thinking…that my things cannot happen so easily…and hence the results are those hiccups…However, I also always believe that my things will get done …eventually…and they do. Law of Attraction at work in full force. J
As I am writing this(another piece of crap), in probably one of my last train journeys in India for the next one year…I was reflecting on, how quickly the time flew in the past 45 days. I stayed in 7 different cities, finished a heck lot of work, met a gazillion number of people…and to look at it…I never even had 5 hours to spend with myself. Today, I also left from the city of Pune…I guess forever…The city was my tormentor, my mentor, my hate, my love, my enemy, my friend…I left behind odes of memories…but not a single friend has been left…I left behind a shelter…in the hope to make a home…I left behind an organization…but not any company…It will be very emotionally difficult for me to go down the memory lane and single out events. It was a wholesome experience.

(P.S: Ending it right here…because I have lost track of what I have been writing…I started somewhere else…and now have started going down the emotional lane…Also because the memories somehow started haunting me…

And…Anu! If you ever read this…I Love You my friend…I don’t know…what I would have done without you!)
