My Tuesday Plans


It’s been two years since I left my home and came out to face this world alone and become that 'Something'. I started living with some guys who happen to be from the same city as mine. One of my roommate visited temple near our home every week on Tuesday. I started to accompany him as he used to go alone. Slowly it became a habit for me too.I don't remember exactly but I think we have followed this schedule since one and a half years now (some achievement by my standards). Some more friends have also joined us now.

I belong to a religious family to a sense that food is first served to God and then to us at home. I have performed many rituals for years together not knowing their significance just because "Mom Said So". My parents are regular to different spiritual places in India to offer their prayers. My dad is a great believer and listens to discourses every morning before he begins his day (that taught me to wake up early!!).I don't remember how many times we have performed Havan and Bhog at our home to keep the evil spirits away.

My friends tell me that u don't need to be a regular to temples to pay your regards. If u believe in him and think of him being present everywhere u can get his blessings sitting at home. I haven't thought on the reason but I go regularly just to thank God that I have survived another week in this chaotic world and would come again if I can next week. I don’t ask him for anything. I think he knows very well what we all want. If he doesn't know then who will.I don't need to go and tell him that this is what I want please give me. I think people who go to temples and ask him for This or That are selfish.Its like bargaining with him 'U do this for me and i will do this for u". I have always believed that if it is there in your Destiny u will have it and if it is Not no matter how much we try we wont get it. So it’s best to leave all in his hands and put in your best work.

That’s it from me for now....it’s Tuesday and it’s my time of the week to meet God.
