MY DENTED BAG

          Divine will ! Fate! Do you believe in those?

            Well to be fair, i must say i was never a firm believer... Just thanking God for good, and abusing Him for bad.... Just your regular neighbor Joe I guess .But the following event gave me a new perspective of life, at least maybe for a couple of months I guess. This happened to me a couple of months ago.

           My friend went shopping. I declined her offer to accompany her, but not before placing my order. Yeah, i wanted a college bag. Roomy, black, and with no cartoons! I had my image to keep... Well at least in front of others.

           May be i p***ed her off. She did get me a bag though! A dented one! Now it was not as huge as i mention it, but large enough to teach me this lesson! Never cross the tigress( that is her nick name).Any ways, i need not tell you the rest of the story... I humbly accepted the bag .

           But let me tell you something, I don't think that bag with a dent was intentional. Tige can be impossible, but never revengeful. Yet better be safe than sorry. Thus decided no more shopping orders for tige...

          But that is not the real story. I and my dented black bag never missed college. I have this ladies bike(my princess), who dutifully helps me on road every day, at the rate of 20 km/h. Well I can’t drive fast. One fine morning ,I was late as usual and a new road rule was laid. Helmet for Bikers!!! Well I am the worst biker of all times! Without a helmet deafening me! But rules are rules! So I was on with my princess and my bag and my helmet. On my way i found that my bag was gone!

          Well i guess, my dented blacky got angry too. He must have got it from his purchaser tige. Well i traced my way back , half deaf with helmet & rest by fear! But guess what? There he stood holding my bag. I never knew who he was, what he does or his name either! But he found my bag. The dent made this Sherlock Holmes to deduce that the bag must have fallen down from a bike. So he was waiting to seek the owner rather than reporting it to cops! 

        I thanked him profusely for finding my bag. Now every day i bike along, with my bag & of course helmet. My driving skills has improved(telling by the fact that no one is hurt ,me included).now i no longer call my bag dented. It was destiny that my bag was dented. Or i might have lost it that day with my documents and all! 

              Many will say this is ridiculous! But hey life is just a puzzle & not all is serious. Lessons of life are simple yet complex. So finally I am a believer in fate now. I no longer abuse God for anything unpleasant. Maybe there is some deep meaning hidden under those sheets.
So i thank Him every day for everything!
