God isn’t cruel to us!
Our aspiration of an ideal life is to be born perfectly with an extraordinary IQ, to study from premier schools and score the maximum marks, to get into number one institute for higher studies, to do our post graduation from foreign universities, to work in branded firms directly at managerial cadres, to get married to the first person we fall in love who is good looking, knowledgeable, sensuous and non-egoistic, to be blessed with kids at the time we want them, to have kids who are normal, to have kids who study well and to make them study from good institutes, to make them get the best of the jobs, and to pray for our kids to have a happy married life ever after….. We as human beings never want anything lesser than the above list. And if by chance there is any discrepancy in any of the aforesaid areas – we ask - why is God so cruel and that too why only me?
Stop for a moment, and rewind your life, and play it from the day you remember. You will notice that none of the event in your life happened as you had planned it or had thought about it, and none of the event was a wrong event as such. They were all needed for the personality you are today. And similarly no events in future will happen as you plan it, but they will all happen for your own good. And that is how God functions. In fact it is our myopic vision that refuses to see the good in bad and the bad in good.
Recently I was expecting a cheque from a particular website. The manager had sent it on April 4th through Jetex courier and it didn’t reach me even on April 11th. I never in life thought that a courier within India could take that much time. As we all know, if something goes wrong in India, to get back life on track you will have to take another birth to solve the problem.
I got the Airway Bill Number, but Jetex didn’t have their services in Chennai, hence they deliver through another courier, which doesn’t have a website! After some 30 calls to Mumbai and Chennai – we were able to track our courier after 2 days, and it was lying in Chennai. The cover had my phone number on the cover, but those mother-fucking bastards never bothered to call me, instead they sat on it for a week!
I finally went to the courier office and collected the cheque, and in the process I should have spent some 200-300 Rupees. The only thing I could do to find a vent to my feelings was to write this particular blog, and also tell that manager to STOP using Jetex courier. The manager was good to me, and said – give me your ICICI account number, and from now we will deposit the amount directly into your account instead of wasting time and money in sending cheques through courier.
Thankfully the whole event turned out to be good for me. If only the courier had reached me on time, this particular decision of direct credit would have never been taken!
Moral of the story – God isn’t cruel to us, but it is His style of functioning, which disturbs us sometimes!
