Man Proposes, God Disposes.

A Pleasant Surprise!

by RPSaxena


Hello Sir!

Hello, young man.

You are looking very perplexed, Sir.

Yes.

Why?

My cab driver and the guard say this is Kanhaiya Marriage Garden while a Board covered with Jasmine on the roadside indicates that it's Kanha Marriage Garden.

For your kind information, this is Kanha Marriage Garden and adjoining it is Kanhaiya Marriage Garden.

Thanks, friend. It means I'm at the wrong place.

No, not at all.

I should have been at the Kanhaiya Marriage Garden while it's Kanha Marriage Garden.

No Problem. You are at the right place.

Interesting!

Awfully Interesting, Sir.

Are you joking?

I can't even think of joking with you.

Very funny.

I've been watching you since I noticed you in the center of the garden.

May I know something about you if you don't mind, please.

A well-wisher, your great fan.

Oh!

Two kids were with you?

Yes, my grandsons.

You were in a state of confusion and looking around fretfully.

Yes, I was looking for some familiar persons.

When the kids had run towards the stalls, you walked at a brisk pace to the entrance hall.

Right, but why such a minute surveillance of my activities?

You could not recognize me, Sir.

It seems I've seen you somewhere.

Try to remember.

Let me ponder when and where? Sorry, guy.

Recall Banasthali.

Yes, a picturesque small village.

Your first posting place?

Absolutely correct

As Lecturer in English?

Right.

Shatrughan Sinha Sir?

Oh! Now I recollect.

Students generally called you Shatrughan Sinha because you looked just like this Bollywood Super Star.

Hey, Udai Singh Rana, you NAUGHTY boy .

The same naughty boy, Sir.

Here, how?

First, let me touch your feet.

Okay. Now be serious and unveil the suspense.

This is my son's Wedding / Reception Venue.

What!

Don't be shocked, Sir.

Nothing like that, but I'm immensely surprised.

Now first dinner, and then anything else.

****

Meet my son and his bride, Ryan and Angel.

Hello, Newly Wedded Couple. May God grant you what in life you want for you!

Thank you, Sir.

Accept it, please.

No Sir. Your presence at this function is the best gift for us.

Udai, No obstruction. It's for this new couple, Understand?

You were going somewhere else but reached here by chance.

Nay, I was destined to come here and so it's the wish of God.

'If you fail to achieve your desired object in spite of your best efforts, acknowledge it as the will of God and God's will can never be wrong.' You often quoted these words of Harivansh Ray Bachchan, a renowned Hindi and Urdu poet.

Yes, now you are on the apt path.

OK, Sir.

Treat this envelope as an Invitation Card for dinner at my house.

Sure, the next Sunday.

100%?

'Be always punctual, and keep your word
then at your feet, you will find the world.' This is your illustrious Lesson.

Oh! You still remember it.

I always try my best to follow this principle.

Wow! What a PLEASANT SURPRISE this whole episode is!

I'll call it a MIRACLE, Sir.

Okay Uday, Take care. Bye!

Bye, Sir!
