Kai Kodutha Deivam (The God who helped)

Something amazing happened today… Although things went bad in the lab today, help came to me at the right time. I still can’t believe it.

It was 8pm and I was still in my lab. My autoclave all went wrong so everything got delayed, but I wasn’t panicking. I was cool.

After my autoclave was done, I had to immediately do inoculation. But before that, I had to check the machine in which I’m going to put the flasks in. I checked and I found that most of the racks were already in use, although I booked the machine. I was irritated at that point of time.

But there was still some space. Just when I thought, okay thank God, there is some space to put my flasks in, then came another problem. I couldn’t find the racks that fit my 1L flasks. Well, I did find them, but I didn’t know how t fix them. There were so many samples in the machine already!

I was almost about to give up and thought I would do the inoculation tomorrow. I stood there and thought for a while what to do. There were only a few people in that floor and I didn’t know anyone there. Sigh..

Just when I was about to give up, a man came in and asked me if I was using the hood, in which I left my stuff. I said yes, I will be done soon. He was about to leave, but then I was desperate so I called him and asked if he could help me fix the racks.

Well, it is not really a tough job to fix the racks, but the thing is I’ve never done it before. The guy helped me fix the racks. For him, he had to finish his work soon and go home. I was in his way, and helping me would help him in a way. But still, you have no idea how glad I was to have someone help me just when I needed help!!!

This is not the first time this happened to me. This has happened a lot of times to me. Whenever I needed help, it came to me at the right time, usually in some form; person or object.

Wait, there’s more…

So after finishing everything, I left home, thinking how lucky I was to get some help at the right time. I mean for you, the readers, this might seem like a small thing, but I was in the situation, so I know how much it means to me. So when I got back home, the first thing I did was tell my mum and dad about this. They were watching Vannathirai channel. And you know what was the title of the movie that they aired today??

KAI KODUTHA DEIVAM!!!

I was so shocked! Pleasantly surprised more like! Now, what are the odds that this movie was to be aired today, just when I had gone through something similar? Gosh, I was so shocked!

Kanna! You are simply wonderful! You are always there for me, looking after me, taking care of me, being there when I am happy and sad! I haven’t prayed to You for some time, and yet You never fail to help me when in need! I only have to exclaim, “Krishna! What is this? Why am I put to test like this all the time?” And that’s it! You come there, in some form, to help me! I see You in all the people around me! You are always there in my Dad, in my Mum, in my Friends, in everyone! It’s just that people don’t see You always. I always see You only in all! But I need Your Grace to see You in Me. Help me Krishna! Like you helped Arjuna see it! And that is all I ask!

Dear friend, I miss you!

Sitting near my window in my room, with a cup of milo in my hand, my mind just whirled back to the past. Wondering why he hasn’t mailed… Wondering why he hasn’t smsed… Wondering why he hasn’t made any efforts to keep in touch… Since the time he had left to go back home.

It was such a wonderful friendship. I’ve never felt this close or this free with any guy before. And when I finally start to make a connection, I feel it slipping away from my hands…

I keep wondering how did this friendship form. I keep wondering if it would still be the same as before after he comes back.

I only hope it will last for a long time. ‘Cos my friend, I miss you so much!
