Last April marks 2 moments which changed my life forever..
I was scheduled for an interview at 2 pm, and my lectures got over by 12. I went to my lab to get the printout of my call letter. I was chatting with my project partners and other friends, and nearly deleted a mail as spam because the sender was unknown to me, without reading the subject line completely, Just when I clicked it to delete i finally read- Congratulations, you have been admitted to UF-ECE! I composedly called up mom and a friend and calmly proceeded to the interview, got the job- a Telecom sector dream company, a job which many of my friends were vying for.
You think its your life, you are its master, and all the choices you have made are your decisions, BUT, God has already planned out everything for you. God leads you into the situation at the perfect timing, all this while he is silently building up the climax. Had I got the mail earlier, there was a chance I would have put it off. It was a time when I knew my GATE score was good enough to get me into NIT's or COEP, but not to IIT's. I had another offer with a software company too, which, after the initial euphoria of getting it subsided, I didnt want to take up as it was unrelated to my domain. Given the timing of the mail, and the new job offer!!
Looking back, I dont even remember how and when I decided to apply for GRE. All I remember is just calling up mom and saying I am booking a GRE date. But what I do remember, very clearly, is that I have had this feeling since school that I would get that S/w company's offer, and somehow knew that I would be in US, just that my intuition had told me the time of my US sojourn as 2 years later. Deja vu? Sixth sense? No, those are the directives you keep on getting from God, but just have ignored them all along till the whole scene manifests itself.
Those who joyfully leave everything in God's hands will eventually find God's hands in everything. Worry ends where faith begins.
