MIXED BLESSINGS...hmmmm how mixed are yours???

Have you ever wondered that a series of incidents that happens in our life has some significance. Ok let me get it clear. What iam trying to say is have you ever thought that a person you meet casually may end up making a big change in life. Similarly you missing a flight,not attending a particular interview may just turn out to be a life saver. Why does such a thing happen. Does the almighty play such games having something on his mind.

For me if you see from the time i was born everything has been going in a delayed fashion.When my mom was admitted in the hospital,the birth star that was prevalant was "hastham" ofcourse it was almost over then it was "chitrai" and it seems in tamil there is a saying "chitrai appan theruvil" which means if the daughter of the house is born under the birth star "chitrai" it seems the head of the family will lose all the money and his job and their family will face heavy financial crunch till the daughter gets married and leave the family. After wedding it seems the woman with this star will bring prosperity to her in laws place and also it seems her parents' house will revive back. So my mum was very jittery that her daughter should not be born under the star chitrai. After Chitrai follows Swathi which is very good for woman,she it seems will bring prosperity whereever she goes. So my mum started reading this book called "sundara Gandam" and prayed for days and nights and guess what "chitrai" just passed and "swathi" just popped its head and i was born. My mom was so releived that since then for whatever prayers she has she reads this"sundaragandam" (wonder whats on it).

After this was the time i had to join my college, after a lot of confusion i joined B.Com in one of the best colleges in town one week after the college started. See the delay there. Then my turn to get a job. I was jobless for almost 5 months then i took up a job out of home. Was not happy with what i was doing then from there tried another job and got it 6 months after i quit my first job. Delay again. Now i work very close from home. Read my lips close as in a stone throw distance from home. What else can you ask for. And now the time has come for me to get married. And "so far no good". So many men but none "the one". I mean again the delay. My parents keep saying that there is always delay in life and when it happens the best one happens. So guess the best man is on his way and the best part is yet to happen.

My very close friend is undergoing a similar phase in life. He has got an offer from a very famous IT company in a very high position but somehow his date of joining has been delaying for almost 3 months now. Well its like you have the cake but cant eat it. How sad is that. Meanwhile he got an offer from a huge indian conglomerate with a rocking pay package. and he is in his final stages of making it there and this has always been his dream work. Now if he woul've joined the MNC he wouldnt have been able to make this happen right. Now see its like you went in search of a chocolate and ennded up finding a chocolate factory.Hmmm is'nt that great. This exactly is what is "Serendipity".

So guys if there is delay in anything in your life do not fret its coz the big man up there has something much more big and exciting for you. So live life like you've never lived before. Celebrate cos life is a celebration. Spend time with your loved ones. Tell them today how much you love them.
