Sanyog - A Coincidence
Saying this, she directly ran towards the Pooja Ghar and stood there like a statue with folded hands, I got up to console her ⦠Ma ⦠pulled me back with her hands and said ⦠let her remain alone ⦠she needs her own time to gather herself ⦠let her be ⦠with her ⦠I nodded and sat down ⦠and started pondering ⦠about the upheavals that might have taken place in her life ⦠during these years ⦠and I felt saddened by the thoughts how she might have suffered all this alone without the support of anyone ⦠but why God has such plans ⦠in front of whom ⦠she is standing now ⦠why He doesnât understand the feelings of his own children ⦠Ma says we are His/Her own children ⦠then who does such kind of cunningness with his or her own children â¦. And I laughed at my word ⦠I remembered Maâs words⦠Sameep everything happens for good, in the Godâs kingdom there is only perfection ⦠there is no scope for mistakes ⦠from our perspective⦠that is mistake ⦠but we always forget ⦠that ⦠He or She has led us on the right path ⦠He has shown us the right direction but we human being ⦠donât listen to our conscience which is Godâs own instruction or reflection and then we heed our brains and afterwards repent ⦠we always commit mistakes and blame him or her ⦠Godâs world is beautiful and magnificent , there is no scope for ugliness and cruelty ⦠in that ⦠our man made world is full of greed, selfishness, ignorance and carelessness ⦠Ma⦠you are absolutely right ⦠I said aloudâ¦Ma asked ⦠What?Ma⦠God has provided us many opportunities to express our love for each other ⦠but at that time ⦠we were ignorant ⦠afraid of ⦠afraid of society ⦠people ⦠what will they say ⦠we are not settled and we are in love ⦠this pressure bothered us both ⦠I think ⦠I am sure about me ⦠I donât know about her ⦠but her story ⦠will be also same⦠You are right ⦠Sameep ⦠many a times God poses puzzles before us ⦠and he gives us targets and dead lines in your terminology ⦠Ma saidI started laughing at her description ⦠Ma⦠you have grabbed our words â¦I have studied up to fourth standard, donât forget ⦠Ma said ⦠smiling Yes⦠absolutely right ⦠life is a puzzle ⦠jig-saw puzzle ⦠Sanyogita came and said ⦠sometimes ⦠we are misfit in some places ⦠like me ⦠and our guess work goes wrong ⦠but till that time ⦠life has moved further ⦠and again you have to reconsider your decisions and try to fit somewhere else â¦Somewhere else⦠why did you say so? Are we strangers to you ⦠I said angrily â¦Sanyogita uttered ⦠no Sameep ⦠I mean to say ⦠see our own case ⦠we have been good friends from our college days ⦠I never realized you cared for me ⦠I was engrossed in my world ⦠my dream of becoming IAS⦠I could not achieve anything ⦠thatâs the story apart ⦠but Sanyogita ⦠donât blame yourself ⦠just now ⦠Ma was saying ⦠whatever happens that happens for good, we have to think in that manner ⦠I know itâs hard for you currently ⦠to believe in this but later you will realize this ⦠I said â¦May be⦠she said ⦠Your prayers wonât go waste ⦠Sanyogita ⦠Ma said ⦠Sanyogitaâs phone buzzed ⦠she ran and grabbed the phone ⦠Bhandari aunty ⦠she said â¦Pick up ⦠you wonât be disappointed Ma ⦠said â¦Put on the speaker mode ⦠I said â¦Beta ⦠we were anxious to hear auntâs voice ⦠I got her number ⦠note it down ⦠Tears started trickling down Sanyogitaâs eyes â¦Mayank was standing with pen and paper â¦Aunty told the number carefully â¦Sanyogtia said ⦠aunty you have fulfilled a motherâs dream⦠thank you â¦Dr. Archana Pandit
