Have you ever lost something you loved and got it back just when you were thinking "it's over..that's it.."... Life proves it at a lot of instances. One of God's weird ways of asking you to hang on and keep believing... Many a times, I've got that one "timing" message from someone I wouldn't have even bothered keeping in touch with. It would be strange, that someone who's just an acquaintance can send you a forward which comes right in time, just when you start the "i'm a loser" slogan. The forward fits like a glove... and everytime something like this happens, I thank "that acquaintance" and God for sending me that message. God speaks to you in weird ways...It's true. Whatever has to happen will happen... Maktub - it's written :) The entire point in me missing a CSK (IPL) match, to blog something about "maktub", "God" and all this is because I found a ring which I lost a few months back. I was studying and I remember removing it for a while. And hours later, I realized it was gone. I had lost it. I believe in Maktub, Luck and all that . I value sentiments and the lost ring left me brooding for days... You might ask "You believe in destiny..Then why believe in luck? ".. I know its logically lame to believe in two contradictory things. The point is, I also believe that everyday, you have the chance to change your life. It is written. But God wrote different chapters for each instant. And it all lies in the "choice" you make.( As understood after reading one of Paulo Coelho's book. It made a lot of sense to me :) ) What you choose, is what you become. How do you make the right choice then? This is where, "luck" comes into the picture. According to me, luck and destiny go hand in hand because God writes more than one chapter for every instant which demands your attention. I don't know if I'm right. It might sound far fetched but as long as I have something to believe in, to keep my conscience perfect, I'm happy :)
The things I lost and got back are really small. At a quick glance, it will not even be close to the "I" of important. But these are things which have their own story. They are in my life for some reason . And the more and more you explore about such "trivial" things, which you "happen to" take for granted, the more you understand about the simplicity of life and the way things happen as per schedule, as decided. Again, my God rocks :) In my blog, my God is the best Biotechnologist, the best Scientist and what not, the best of "every -ist" ;) Here are those trivial things to which I have add-ons attached :)

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it "

P.S :
This morning, when I was in the "philosophising" mood, I was thinking about why I have never read anything from the Quran. I have read verses from the Bible and I have an idea about the Vedas too, to a small extent. But not even once have I seen or read any verses from the Quran. It was just a speculation. I dismissed the thought soon after. And today, I was searching for a "finale" for the post. I typed "destiny + Paulo Coelho" on google and thats when I found the words of wisdom quoted above. Adding to my delight was that in the same site, I found two things which really made all the sense in the world to me.
1. Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful exhortation, and reason with them in the gracious way" (Quran 16:125)
Now you know why it made sense ?! :D
2. When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky"
