How Miracle Happened In My Life

It’s difficult to define pain and pleasure—two opposite emotions that dictate our well-being.

Through my numerous interactions with more than a hundred souls, I’ve come to realize:

For some, pain is losing their loved ones.

For others, it’s losing a high-paying job.

Some feel pain when they have nothing left to do except wait for death.

And then, there’s another kind of pain—the one that comes when basic needs are out of reach. The pain of hunger, of not having a roof over your head, of lacking even the bare minimum to survive. I have experienced this pain.

But nobody talks about it. Nobody bothers. Because most people don’t understand what real pain is, let alone experience it.

The same applies to pleasure. We are so immersed in materialistic pleasures that we have no idea what spiritual pleasure means. And that’s okay. Not all of us are meant to be Amitabh Bachchan or Shahrukh Khan. Life has its own game plan for each of us.

But within our own limits, we must try to redefine and rewrite our destiny. And that is only possible when we surrender—to the force that governs our lives—and keep doing our karma to the best of our abilities.

When we truly surrender, miracles happen.

I experienced one recently.

One of my clients had been withholding my payment. I was in urgent need of funds for my daughter’s wedding and was short by ₹2 lakh. I sent them an invoice for ₹22,500, at least for the GST payment, hoping they would clear it.

But I also did something else.

I turned to my Guruji—Babaji—who introduced Kriya Yoga to the world through Paramhansa Yogananda, the author of Autobiography of a Yogi. I told him, "You take care. I surrender to you completely."

The next day, I received a payment.

Not ₹22,500.

But ₹2,22,500.

Someone had added a zero. And somehow, it went unnoticed.

In a ₹1000-crore company, where checks and balances are strict, where every transaction is scrutinized, how could such a mistake happen?

It wasn’t extra money. It was exactly what was owed to me. Exactly what I needed.

A coincidence? I don’t think so.

A miracle? Absolutely.

Who made this happen? My Babaji.

If you seek miracles, they won’t come. But if you surrender—genuinely, completely, in your true helplessness—something shifts. The universe listens.

I surrendered. And the universe, through Babaji, responded.

I share real-life stories. If this one helps you in any way, I am grateful.

Why Mukul Surrendered To The Laws Of Nature

 

We humans often think that we are in control of our own destinies. We believe that we can shape our lives however we please, make our own decisions, and control our own fates.

However, there is a force much stronger than us, a force that has been around long before we were born and will continue to exist long after we are gone. This force is the Laws of Nature.

The Laws of Nature is the natural order of the world, the rules that govern the universe and everything in it. It is the force that governs the developments in the life of every species, keeps the planets in orbit, the tides ebbing and flowing, and the seasons changing. It is a powerful and unyielding force, one that cannot be ignored or defied.

How Kushal Fought Against The Torture By Fate

Kushal, a young man in early thirties, used to live in a small village in West Bengal bordering Bangladesh. He was known for his kindness, compassion, and unwavering determination to fight against the torture of fate.

Kushal had been through many hardships in his life. From losing his parents at a young age to facing poverty and adversity, he had seen more than his fair share of struggles. But through it all, he never lost hope or gave up on his dreams.

One day, as Kushal was walking through the village, he came across a group of villagers gathered around a street performer. The performer was a storyteller who captivated the listeners with tales of bravery, wisdom, and magic.

The Pains Of Losing A Loved One

As the sun set on another ordinary day, Lata couldn't shake the feeling of dread that had been growing within her for the past few weeks. 

Her husband, Chandan, had been battling cancer for few years, and despite their hopes and prayers, it seemed that the disease was slowly but surely taking him away from her.

Lata had never felt so helpless and heartbroken in her life. Chandan was not just her husband; he was her best friend, her confidant, and her rock. 

He had always been the strong one, the one who knew exactly what to say or do to lift her spirits when she was feeling down. 

But now, as she watched him waste away before her eyes, she felt utterly lost.

Spirituality Unlocks The Abundance In Life

In a world filled with constant noise and distractions, it can be easy to lose sight of what truly matters in life. We often find ourselves chasing after material wealth, success, and power, thinking that these things will bring us the fulfillment and happiness we desire. 

However, what many of us fail to realize is that true abundance in life can only be found through spirituality. Spirituality is often misunderstood as something reserved for religious individuals or those who spend their days meditating in solitude. 

Spirituality is a universal concept that is accessible to anyone, regardless of their beliefs or practices. At its core, spirituality is about connecting with something greater than ourselves, whether it be a higher power, the universe, or simply the interconnectedness of all living beings.

To understand what spirituality means and how useful it is to unlock the abundance in life, let us go through the following pertinent aspects.

A Mother's Love And Sacrifice For Her Children

During my childhood, in my native place, there used to live a family of husband, wife and 3 children. They were simple people and I had never seen them interfering with their neighbours.

Husband was doing petty jobs and for supporting family wife used to work in a school and take tuitions after working hours. Her name was Ekta. Sometime I used to see her sitting outside their home in a depressed mood.

Having watched their struggle for survival from close and her emotional turmoil that I could not understand at that time, my story is based on her.

I have used my imagination to describe her state of mind and emotional struggle. Her name has been changed to maintain confidentiality.

Life Must Be Celebrated Every Moment

Human life is a precious gift from the creator. During a discussion, one of my friends asked, “Who is the creator of all living beings?”

“Very difficult to answer this question; however, living a meaningful life with purpose is what matters.” I replied.

In my opinion human life should be cherished and celebrated every moment and not squandered. 

Each and every individual is unique, with their own set of talents, dreams, and aspirations. It is important to recognize the value of human life and strive to make the most of every moment we are given.

How Adinath Found The Purpose Of Life

Long ago I happened to meet someone in a Pub I used to visit during week-ends. 

In a short span of time I could develop very good rapport with him and at some point  asked him, ”What's the purpose of our life?

Gazing at me intently he said, ”Abhijit, it's not an easy question to answer, but let me tell you a real-life story. 

Let me share it with you as he had told me.

Abhijit, I know a person named Adinath, who had always felt lost and aimless in life. He wandered through each day feeling as though there was something missing, as though he was searching for a purpose that he could never quite grasp. 

Despite his best efforts to find meaning in his work, his relationships, and his hobbies, he could never shake the feeling that there was something more out there waiting for him.

One day, as Adinath was walking through the park, he came across an old man sitting on a bench. The man had a wise and peaceful expression on his face, and Adinath felt drawn to him. 

As he sat down next to the old man, Adinath couldn't help but blurt out, "I feel lost. I don't know what my purpose in life is."

The old man smiled and nodded knowingly. "I understand," he said. "Many people feel that way at some point in their lives. But the key to finding your purpose is to look within yourself and discover what truly brings you joy and fulfillment."

Adinath was taken aback by the old man's words. He had always thought that purpose was something external, something that he had to search for outside of himself. 

But the old man's words sparked something inside him, a glimmer of hope that maybe he could find his purpose within himself.

Over the next few weeks, Adinath began to explore different aspects of his life that brought him joy. He started to pay attention to the little things that made him feel alive and connected.

Like the way the sun felt on his face in the morning or the sound of laughter from his friends. 

He realized that his purpose wasn't something grand or flashy, but rather something simple and true to himself.

As he dived deeper into this journey of self-discovery, Adinath began to let go of the expectations and pressures that had been weighing him down for so long. 

He stopped trying to fit into the mold of what society told him he should be, and instead embraced his own unique path.

One day, as Adinath was walking through the park once again, he came across a group of children playing in the grass. Their laughter filled the air, and he couldn't help but smile as he watched them chase each other around. 

In that moment, he realized that his purpose in life was to bring joy and love to those around him, just like those children were doing.

From that day on, Adinath made it his mission to spread positivity and kindness wherever he went. He volunteered at the local old age home helping those in need.

In addition, he made an effort to connect with his friends and family on a deeper level. He found that the more he gave of himself, the more fulfilled he felt.

As time passed, Adinath’s new-found purpose began to shape every aspect of his life. He no longer felt lost or aimless, but rather guided by a sense of direction and meaning that he had never experienced before. 

He found that when he focused on helping others and being true to himself, everything else fell into place.

And so, Adinath learned that the true purpose of life is not something to be found outside of ourselves, but rather something that resides within each and every one of us. 

It is a journey of self-discovery and growth, of connecting with what truly matters and letting go of what doesn't. 

And in the end, he realized that the purpose of life is to simply be true to oneself and to spread love and joy to those around us.

After narrating the above story that gentleman asked for the bill, paid and left the pub immediately. Unfortunately, I never saw him there again.

Corporate Life To Spiritual Realm!

In the bustling city of Gurugram, where skyscrapers reached towards the sky and the hustle and bustle of corporate life never seemed to slow down, there lived a woman name Anamika. 

Anamika was a successful businesswoman, climbing the corporate ladder with determination and drive. She was known for her sharp wit, quick thinking, and ability to always come out on top in any business deal.

But despite her success in the corporate world, Anamika often felt a sense of emptiness deep within her soul. 

She spent countless hours in meetings, on conference calls, and traveling for work, but no matter how much she achieved in her career, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing.

One day, after a particularly stressful week at work, Anamika decided to take a break and explore a nearby spiritual retreat center that she had heard about from a friend. 

As she walked through the peaceful gardens and listened to the soothing sounds of nature around her, she felt a sense of calm wash over her for the first time in years.

Intrigued by the sense of peace and tranquility that she had found at the retreat center, Anamika decided to delve deeper into her spirituality and explore ways to integrate it into her busy corporate life. 

She began attending meditation classes, practicing yoga, and reading books on mindfulness and inner peace.

As Anamika delved deeper into her spiritual practice, she noticed profound changes starting to take place in her life. 

She found herself approaching her work with a newfound sense of clarity and focus, making decisions that were not only beneficial for her career but also aligned with her values and beliefs. 

She also noticed that her relationships with her colleagues and clients began to improve, as she approached each interaction with a sense of compassion and understanding.

One day, during a particularly challenging meeting with a difficult client, Anamika found herself drawing upon her spiritual practices to guide her through the conversation. 

Instead of reacting with frustration and anger, as she might have done in the past, she took a deep breath, centered herself, and approached the situation with a sense of calm and understanding. 

To her surprise, the client responded positively to her approach, and they were able to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.

As Anamika continued to integrate her spirituality into her corporate life, she found herself experiencing a newfound sense of purpose and fulfillment. 

She realized that success in the corporate world did not have to come at the cost of her spiritual well-being, and that the two could coexist harmoniously.

Over time, Anamika's colleagues began to take notice of the positive changes in her demeanor and approach to work. 

They commented on her newfound sense of calm and poise, and began to seek her out for guidance and advice on how to navigate the stresses of corporate life.

Inspired by the positive impact that her spiritual practices had on her own life and the lives of those around her, Anamika decided to organize a series of mindfulness workshops and meditation sessions for her colleagues. 

The response was overwhelmingly positive, with many employees expressing gratitude for the opportunity to explore their own spirituality in the midst of their busy work lives.

As the workshops continued to grow in popularity, Anamika realized that she had found her true calling – to bridge the gap between spirituality and corporate life and help others find a sense of balance and fulfillment in their careers. 

She decided to leave her corporate job and pursue a career in spiritual coaching and mindfulness training, using her own experiences to guide others on their own spiritual journeys.

Anamika's decision to follow her heart and pursue her passion for spirituality was met with hesitation and skepticism from some of her colleagues and friends. 

But she remained steadfast in her belief that true success was not measured by material wealth or professional accolades, but by the sense of fulfillment and purpose that one found in following their true calling.

As Anamika embraced her new career as a spiritual coach, she found herself surrounded by a community of like-minded individuals who shared her passion for blending spirituality and corporate life. 

Together, they worked to create a new paradigm in which mindfulness, compassion, and inner peace were valued just as much as financial success and professional achievement.

In the end, Anamika's journey from corporate powerhouse to spiritual guide was not an easy one, but it was undoubtedly the most fulfilling and rewarding path she had ever walked. 

And as she looked out at the city skyline from the windows of her new office, she knew that she had finally found the balance and fulfillment that she had been searching for all along.

Mile Mukti Zindagi Ki Agnipath Se!

Le chal mujhe zindagi zaha tera man kare,

Zinda yein lash mera kare bhi to kya kare.

Ab tera hi hawalei hein meri yein zindagi,

Aage karna kya hein ab tera hi hein marzi.

Na koi gila na koi shikowa na koi umeed,

Gujar rahi hein din har ek pal mouth ke karib.

Yein zindagi tune diya to bahut kuch mujko,

Par chhin kiyo Liya mujse mera asthithwo.

Dil keheta hein ke zor zor se itna  chillau,

Ke har ek gham jo dil mein use nikal du.

Magar gham hi khatam ho gayi zindigi se,

Kaise ji paunga mein sirf khusi ke sahare.

Ab na hein koi taqlif muje mera gham se,

Na hi hein koi sukun aur tasalli khusi se.

Khuda ko gale laga le Prabal itna pyar se,

Ke tuje mile mukti yein dard ki agnipath se.

HUMAN LIFE IS A PRECIOUS GIFT BY COSMIC ENERGY!

This Life, human life, despite its ruthlessness, more often than not, is a just a game that we must play to the best of our capacity, ability and skills.

We must understand that we are not this current body but a soul, that had resided in many bodies in the past and will continue to live in many in future up until it merges into universal consciousness, which is beyond the understanding of our current Intellect.

Connecting the dots between many past lives and the sufferings of this life, I wish to say:

Let us wait for the emergence of the favorable situations with great patience. Endure the worst, but never lose patience.

And when the right opportunity shines through the dark clouds of pains and agonies, leave no stone unturned to unleash your best efforts to encash the same.

However, I strongly believe that we can't do it without surrendering to the power of Universal Consciousness - unconditionally - for connecting individual soul with the Cosmic soul.

How we make the connection is one's own choice and they have to figure it out. I have done mine and my life is smiling at me after a long time in terms of peace of mind.

Even though it is forbidden to declare on a public domain, I am disclosing it for the benefits of many - I do Kriya meditation initiated by Mahaavatar Babaji, made available to the world by Sri Paramhansa Yogananda, who wrote the world famous book "Autobiography of A Yogi."

Success, whatever it is for you, is being delivered through God's E-Commerce platform, when you place the order with right address.

And the only way to have a divine Adhar Card for address proof is through practicing meditation for connecting our spiritual address with that of that unknown and not yet understood supreme power providing the resources for making our existence possible.

MAKE OTHERS FEEL BETTER!

Making others feel better, makes you fell better. Just a word of genuine appreciation. Or a genuine gesture of true recognition. That's all.

I am not getting into the science of feeling better in terms of release of Serotonin and other hormones. 

I have studied it all and am well aware of how physiology of humans work in consonance with the release of hormones from the brain.

I am talking about the practical aspect of how to Make others feel better in the most practical way.

We can do it by various ways:

Feed hungry souls: both humans and animals. Extend emotional support to them who are on the verge of psychological breakdown. Stand by them who have none to talk to about anything happening in their lives. 

You can't solve the life problems of others, but you can make them feel better while launching positive efforts to make their life a little bit more comfortable.

I am not a best selling writer and I don't know how to express my inner feelings in words. What I know is, making others feel better makes you feel better as you radiate the positive energy to the Universe and it respons accordingly.

There are certain categories of humans who can never feel better with all your efforts. Leave them, ignore them, let their destiny decide their fate.

You, we and I must focus on making those others feel better who can respond positively to the best of our efforts.

Making others feel better doesn't require any spiritual enlightenmen through Yoga and meditation. It's a way of life, for living a peaceful existence.

Just a smile to even a Stanger. Asking anyone known to you as how he is doing. Treating everyone with the respect they deserve. That's all about - Making others feel better.

Every human expects recognition of their existence, respect for their life developments and the acceptance of what they are.

When you accept all the above conditions without any reservations, you are bound to achieve a blissful state of mind.

Get the best from the materiastic world, extract the best from the Spiritualism that you practice, and blend both to live a great life of abundance with no attachment to the resultant or outcome of the same.

Extremely difficult. Not meant for 99.99 percent of the population.

Whatever, make it a point to make others feel better with whatever efforts within your capacity.

The Benefit Of Giving Up Hope

Losing all hope was freedom.” ~Edward Norton in Fight Club

My latest realization is just opposite to what I have been believing through-out my life, up until now, and it is: Stop hoping and fearing, let the things happen as they are, but handle every unfolding situation with as much positivity as you can.

Once we stop, hoping and fearing - that we do every minute about everything in life and waste our mental energy - and let the flow of life takes us to the pre-determined destination, the nectar of peace and happiness starts filling our body, mind and soul. 

I completey agree with what Dr. Jessica Del Pozo has written in her eye-opening article 'The Benefits of Giving Up Hope' published in 'The Psychology Today' - "Hopelessness may help you stop trying to control everything. Hopeless may be a doorway to change as you trust the space left once you give up hope that this particular thing you want will get better. Maybe hopelessness happens just before a revolution."

She adds further - 

"Four Potential Down-Sides to Hope:

1.Hope can come loaded with expectations, expectations that are actually premeditated resentments.

2. Hope can be a way to avoid feeling something painful, preventing us from feeling sadness, thus keeping us stuck under its warm blanket.

3. We can cling to hope and even become addicted to it, preventing us from taking action toward something new.

4. Hope can be a shiny lacquer masking fear and uncertainty, attempting to restore a false sense of control."

You may read the article here: https://lnkd.in/dDs3TeSj

In my opinin: Our hope for a great future or the fear of a dreadful time ahead is not going to make it that way. Because, things will happen as they are supposed to. So keep taking actions, while facing every life developments without hope and fear, and leave the rest onto the hands of Destiny.

However, there is nothing wrong in pursuing our dreams, since hope is a feeling of expectation for a particular thing to happen and dream is a cherished ambition.

“It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.” ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Respect The Law Of Nature

Mistakes happen. Wrong decisions too. Look at your own life: Too many mistakes and lot many wrong decisions.

Did you stop functioning there after. Did you stop living since then? Did you let your life be in the hands of devastating consequences.

How can you do that when you know that your actions govern your destiny to some extent atleast. Look, destiny is pre-determined; however, one can change it to an extent that benefits them.

Since, most of the people are living a monotonous life who have no interest in reading and writing, let me conclude with a statement: Live your life and die your death, with no regrets.

Mark my words: People, who know the art of manipulations are the ones makes others fool, and are the same ones who are being successful in the short run.

Destiny plays a big role no doubt, otherwise, everyone would have bought a  space like Mannat.

Respect destiny. She makes what you are now.

Neither Modi became what he is today, nor Shahrukh Khan. They are what they are today because destiny wanted them to be.

You have no control over what you want to be. Destiny decides it. Respect her and let her do her job.

 

We are just the watchers of what destiny makes us. Keep watching!

I had never believed in the power of destiny for a decade and half, when I was riding the waves of tremendous success. However, gradually, over a period of time, I did understand that we have no control over the 'Forces of Nature' governing our life developments.

I have already mentioned in some of my previous posts that Destiny does give us the opportunity sometime, and we must make the best use of it with our hardwork and dedication; however, as Lord Krishna had indirectly said many thousand years ago -- that, the outcome of the efforts is beyond our control.

If you read read the ancient Stoic philosophy where Seneka, Epictetus and the great Stoic and one of most accomplished Roman Emperor Murcus Aurelius too have explained very clearly that most of our life developments are beyond our control.

Does it mean, we must surrender to those "Laws of Nature?" Yes, we must, but, at the same time, leave no stone unturned to influence those forces in our favour. I don't have any idea about the success rate. But, trying is better than doing nothing.

The Loneliness And Soul

I really enjoy talking to my pet, Cooper, since he always listen to whatever I tell him with an occasional smile. Trust me, dogs do smile. 

Never, ever, he tries to get into an argument with me because he can't, even if he wishes. That makes him my best friend.

With old age approaching like a bullet train, senior citizens do need someone or a few, to listen to them unconditionally for a few minutes at least on daily basis.

Unfortunately, that doesn't happen, as the next generation is too busy in the construction of their own life that they don't even realize the startling fact that after a few decades they themselves would be in the same boat of loneliness.

Loneliness? 

Yes, it was, it is and it will always be, for all of us crossing the age of 60. Most ignore it, some refuges to acknowledge the same and the remaining few accept it.

When you have none for conversation, communication and interactions - it means....you are physically alive, but mentally dead.

Since we have no control over our life and death; in fact, not even our life developments, is there any other option but to watch our helplessness against the laws of nature?

We have been fooled by a group of religious intellectuals that we are the creators of our destiny. I disagree! Of course, with due respect to them. 

The fact is that the Laws of Nature are the creator of our destiny. There is none sitting high above the sky and monitoring our life developments, neither anyone operating from within.

So far, there is no concrete confirmation about what happens after we die. There are so many mind pleasing explanations from lot many intellectuals and the entrepreneurs in the field of religion about the same.

All these are based on faith and belief. For black-mailing common people. Frankly speaking, there is no scientific evidence that something called "Soul" exists. If scientific study leads to confirm the same - then I apologize.

We live and die only one life. If someone can prove otherwise, I will be the saddest person in the world as one life is more than enough.....

Heart transplant is a reality now. So the concept that so called Soul recides in the heart is gone to biting the dust. 

Next is Brain. 

Let's hope, when Brain Transplant becomes a reality, we will realize the truth about one time unique mortal existence -- questioning the concept of eternal human soul in the landscape of delusion.

Desire, Strategy And Smart Work: Success

Nothing works, nothing really works in your favor, unless you have an intense Desire to make it happen in life in a big way.

Even a sky rocketing desire would lead you nowhere, unless you have a solid Strategy in place to turn your dream into reality.

And finally, neither an intense desire nor a solid strategy would make you the member of an elite club of billionaires, if you fail to identify and act upon right opportunities: Smart-work!

Life, on different platforms, is always fair to all, in terms of offering game-changing opportunities for making it big in life.

However, most of us don't recognize those opportunities. Some of us, despite recognizing, fail to turn them into stupendous success. But a few never commit such mistakes and make it huge in life through a combination of DESIRE, STRATEGY and SMART-WORK.

Remember, you're a born warrior. It's only the worst circumstances that makes you look inferior in a given time. Since you can't change an unfavorable situation, why not transform yourself to a fighter who never believes in giving up until making it happen.

Accept, and live with no pains and complaints, every wound that life has inflicted upon you; look at every misery as a trophy that destiny has offered you; and remember that you have a point to prove to yourself.

All these words and sentences that I have written so far in this blog are not my assumptions, but truly reflect what I had experienced -- while making a successful turn around from deep within a financial grave not so long ago.

You must remember that 'something never comes from nothing.' So, if you're targeting extra-ordinary success, you must invest extra-ordinary efforts in for achieving the same. Are you ready to do it?

Do Not Misunderstand Lord Krishna

Karma kadro, phal na moth sacho, ka Matlab hota hein 500% Karma karo. Itna Karma karo, ke phal tumhari jholi mein aa gire. 

Gita has been misinterpreted by so many, bit by bit, gradually, over several thousand years. Did Arjuna fight the battle of Kuruskhetra without expecting to win it. Did Lord Krishna say that?

Many of us think that we have done our Karma. Phal nehi Mila to they misquote Lord Krishna by saying - we have done our Karma, but result nehi Aya to kya hua. Krishna ne hi to Bola hein, result ka moth socho.

If you have writen a book and expect that none will read it, is that true Karma? Phir likha hi kyon? The fact is: Put so much of effort in writing that book that it captures the imagination of others and compels them to read it.

And that happens when we leave no stone unturned with relentless actions and investing 500 percent of our efforts to make that book so interesting that people have no option but to read it.

That is what Lord Krishna told Arjuna without excessive elaboration and we common people become happy with ignoring the same while not reading between the lines.

Writing book, is an example. What I am trying to highlight: It applies to each and every domain of life with regard to whatever we are doing to climb to the summit of recognition.

Put in your best efforts. Not 100 percent, but more than 500 percent. Then notice, what Krishna had said truly makes sense.

Amazing Dance In The Moonlit Night

"Come on, come on, move fast," a high-pitched voice was getting closer every moment. It was around 11 O'clock in the night and most of the students at freshers Hostel were relaxing. Suddenly there was chaos in the whole hostel with dozens of senior students pouring in from nowhere and directing all newcomers to the terrace.

"What happened," I asked a senior. "Why are you taking us there, and what are you going to do with us?"

"Look, we are going to play night cricket over there, and trust me, it would be quite interesting to play." He said, laughing loudly.

Just a few days into the hostel, I was utterly confused as to what was going to happen next and, without further questioning, decided to follow his instruction.

It was a moonlit night!

With more than a hundred boys occupying a space that can barely accommodate even half of that, the confusion was complete. Suddenly one of the seniors raised his voice demanding complete silence, followed by an astonishing instruction from another, "Hey guys, form pairs and remember that one will act as a male and the other as a female."

A few started murmuring in protest, but they were immediately silenced by carefully planted slaps on their face. Obviously, without further resistance, rest of the boys followed that awesome instruction.

What happened next, still amuses me the most: Everyone of us were asked to form a pair and start dancing. My partner happened to be a dark and lanky fellow from South India, who is now the Managing Director of an MNC.

Dancing in the moonlight could be a fantastic idea, but never with the same sex. However, we had no option but to continue and often with a few slaps on the back for getting closer to our partners. I'm sure, most of the boys, interestingly paired, did enjoy the game, but for a few it was a nightmare.

The amusement continued for an hour with all of us gradually adapting to the situation, perhaps enjoying it too. Seniors were keeping close watch on the quality of dance and to impress them some of the boys even started treating their partners as real females. And, my own partner was one of them!

Then I heard someone shouting loud, 'Stop it, stop it!'

'Oh my God, it's warden,' said my partner. Instantly bell broke loose, with juniors jostling against each other and seniors running for cover. Warden was not alone, in fact he had brought a few staff members also with him and they were standing at the sole entrance/exit point.

Suddenly the predators turned prey and to avoid getting caught red-handed some of them didn't hesitate to try an otherwise impossible escape route: Jumping onto the extended part of the windows at floors down below.

Most of them managed to escape, but a few who couldn't were threatened with dire consequences and were asked to report to the Principal's office next morning.

With dust settling down, warden asked us to go back to our rooms and report to him the occurrence of any such incident in future without fail. Overall it was an amazing experience of an unique combination of fear and entertainment, but it would be inappropriate to say that we didn't enjoy it.

'College days' is perhaps the best period of a student's life, especially for a hosteler, in terms of learning a few unforgettable lessons. I'm sure, that adds tremendous values to one's ability to facing lif e's ruthless side with a never give up attitude.
