I don't believe in destiny or fate.But after what has happened in my life,I am made to think again.
I am usually careless in handling my things.When I say things it includes all precious things which I manage to misplace somehow.The careless act of mine has made me suffer when I lost my debit card in October 2007 and my Passport the very next month. I got a duplicate passport within 20 days thanks to my friend Prudhvi and his friend Ranjit in helping me out.Later I learnt that it takes 1 to 2 months for a normal person to get a FIR copy only. I never knew our Police was that somberi. Aiyo Aiyo.... :)
Now coming back to the topic,It was a lovely weekend in spring in Richardson and we spent that weekend at home cleaning and cooking.Little did I realise that I had lost my wallet.Only on Monday I found that my purse went missing.I was pretty convinced that my friends had taken and were trying to bully me for my carelessness but unfortunately that was not the fact.....:( .I consoled myself hoping that I will find it in my place at office.All I could do at that moment was pray which I do when I am in a state of bother.... :)
Little over 200 Dollars
Debit Cards
International Debit Card
Credit Cards
Driving License
My precious Indian Currency ( 1500 bucks )
My Dad's photo
????????
These were the things that went missing along with the purse.
I was not worried about anything other than the international debit card and my precious Indian Currency,as it took years for me to collect them.Hoping to find it in my place I reached office only to find a small note in my desktop stating that my billfold has been found and is safe with some stranger signed by my Admin.Also I had a number to contact in the note and a mail from a stranger asking me to call the same number.I was happy that my wallet was found.I called the number and a gentleman replied asking for a place to to handover the wallet.I was waiting eagerly to get my wallet in the reception.There came an Old Gentleman holding my wallet.He cross-checked the ownership using my driving license and handed it over to me saying "Welcome to America" in a caring tone and also made me count the bills.He then made a request asking me to keep a phone number the next time I misplace it.... :) Well only then I realised the pains he had taken to trace me without much of a information in the wallet.
He had found them in washing room.Since I had not registered then in the apartment office he to had ask the near by people showing them the photo in the license.He had spent around 2 hours searching for me and finally found that I was working for Fujitsu through an Indian,thank god I was huge enough for the Indian to notice me in the vast apartment...:) Then he had contacted his son-in-law working in the same firm to inform me and made sure that the wallet reached me safely by handing them over in person.I haven't seen a single soul in my life taking such pains for a stranger that too from a different country.I wouldn't have done it for sure.He was a true Gentleman. Good people do exists in this world..... :)
Now is it destiny or fate that I got my wallet back which I never knew that I had lost..... ??????
