I have seen GOD

Yesterday morning, she caressed my forehead with her soft hands when I opened my eyes. He walked up to me and took me along to do something for me when I could see how tired and exhausted he was. She gave me a rose this morning and said 'princess, you are a princess'.

When I was leaving this city, he said 'I want you to know that we love you'. He saw me yesterday at the temple and stopped me and said 'namaste Didi'.

She sees a halo above my head when we talk. He wakes up at 6 in the morning to drive for me for 2 hrs inspite of his exam the next day. She is so proud to have her husband just like me.

He narrates a story of two horses to me and makes me understand the meaning of life. She writes a poem for me. He protects me as a brother in the strange city and comes to pick me up all the way from his office. She sends the beautiful pictures of her daughter just to bring a smile on my face. He keenly suggests prescription for my friend's relative whom he has never met.

She keeps half her lunch for me just to make me taste the food she made. He said 'if my son was a bit older, I would have married him to you'. She said you are like my little sister. He calls me JG (Jagat guru).

He said 'anybody would love to be your friend'. She said 'Hi' and came and hugged me just like that.

I see god in you everyday.

All of the 'She' and 'He' mentioned above are just few among the beautiful people in my life.

God is easily available to those who have the eyes to look around themselves.

Start looking around you :)

My dates with God

It was yet another date with God on Saturday morning. As I got down the car,  I walked to pick the Diyas from a road-side vendor. It was around 7am in the morning and one of the coldest mornings of Delhi winter.
The lady who sells Diyas had not come yet. I saw a small child running towards me. I was glad. I said "Hey, Pankaj". He smiled and started picking diyas for me. In one of my previous visits, he had come to ask the half coconut which I generally take to the temple. I agreed to give him the coconut but I asked him his name first.

Now, to my surprise, when I met him this morning and as I called him "Pankaj", suddenly, few children who were sitting near by shouted "Didi, his name is not Pankaj. His name is Hakeeb"
In one of my previous visits,  I had given coconut to a child called " Iqbal". That child was not smart as Pankaj in changing his name on the spot.

When I came out of the temple, Pankaj did not run towards me asking coconut as he usually does. My dad started the car but I asked him to wait.  I called Pankaj and gave him the half coconut. He smiled.

Of course, it doesn't matter to me that he is Pankaj or Hakeeb. I wanted to reassure him in his growing up years that humanity is much bigger than religion.

I hope to see Pankaj tomorrow! And yep, my date with god is still on! :)
