Miracles Happen Everyday

Miracles happen every day, change your perception of what a miracle is and you'll see them all around you.

Jon Bon Jovi

I was sitting in my balcony all alone one evening, when a thought just flashed my mind. It was “Is God doling out miracles now-a-days just like he did during Ramayana and Mahabharata?” It was just a passing thought. And then when I went in, one look at my wife told me that it was one of those days, when she really wanted a change from the usual routine. We decided to go out for dinner. The restaurant was on the seventh floor and the waitress offered a seat for us by the side overlooking the beautiful bay. The waitress took our order and left. Actually it was my birthday and the restaurant had tri-colour balloons hanging all over the place. When I turned around to see I saw a poster on the wall which said “Miracles happen every day: You may not think so, but they do.”   I was flabbergasted. God had answered my thought this way. It was a miracle in itself. Some of you might say that it was a coincidence. But I would say “God is the answer to Coincidence.” So, now that you start to believe me let me tell you of an actual miracle that happened yesterday.

I had a serious issue with my Bankers and I was in a mood to let them know that I am in a bad mood. The Bank is on a busy Green Park road. Parking is not allowed but I always park by the side of a small two wheeler mechanic shop, but still have to walk some distance to the bank. I even turn the side rear view mirror inwards lest I might lose it. I went into the bank and found that the issue still remained. You know, when I know that I am right, like a true Saikorian, I would fight and go to any length to seek justice. I made a mild scene there and almost half the bank’s staffs were trying to pacify me. I was actually enjoying the attention I was getting. But you know, these bankers, they always have the last word. And I had to leave without a solution. All this had taken almost an hour. As I left, I thought “God, what is this you are doing, are you doing it to me alone?” “Shit God” I muttered as I walked towards my car. To the exact place, where I parked my car. I could not believe my eyes. My car was not there. But in its place, a brand new car, an Audi was standing. “Wow what a beautiful car” I thought. It is not yet registered. It was gleaming in the sun. Is it a miracle from God, has he given me this new Audi car in place of my old one? Maybe God heard my plea and wanted to prove a point.  I looked into the Audi, but the keys were not there. Maybe, they are inside somewhere, so I checked all the four doors, they were all locked. If God wanted to show a miracle, he would surely show me the way to get into this car and drive away. Many possibilities flashed my mind. Maybe a flying crow would drop the key from the sky. Or maybe, the key is already placed in my pocket. By intuition I checked my pockets but found nothing. I was sure; something would show up soon, after all it is a miracle from God. The car was simply great, with alloy wheels, leather seat covers that perfectly matched the interiors.  I was so enthralled and engrossed in its beauty, when I saw an old man walking towards me, he is the two-wheeler mechanic. “Here it is he is the messenger of God, he is going to hand over the key to me.” I thought.

He put his hand deep into his pocket and fished out a piece of paper and gave it to me.

“What is this?” I asked.

“It is the number of the sub-inspector of police, they towed your car away for parking here and he wanted you to call him.”

“Whose car is this then?”

“Someone parked it here after your car was towed away.”

Oh yes, Miracle do happen every day. God had answered me?
