God at My Door

So, at last got an experience that should be shared with you. Today I given an interview for the job of a PHP developer. Before leaving from home I prayed to God to give the power to face the interviewee and avail the job. Even said twice "Sat Sri Akaal Ji" ( God is true. Wishing someone in Sikhism) to my mother for better. Found the location at right time and reported at the given time. The interview experience was good. I got a lot two know about that I don't know. So, now for future interviews I can prepare better.

While I was returning home required to stop at a crossing due to Red lights. There was a beggar lady asking for some money for food. At first I noticed her, I tried to look other side and also pushed my bike a little away from her direction. Usually while I see them, I always search my pocket for some change or even sometime even if have a 5 rupee coin or note. But this time I failed to even think about it while doing is a far away task. Then my mind stuck that what I was thinking of. When Bhagat Kabir Ji (an Indian Saint) found a dog taking his only meal away, he ran for the dog saying "Oh! God. Don't eat that Chapati dry. Have some Ghee." But here I was facing away from him.

It is believed and I think is also true that God resides in everyone. Even then we try to ignore, Ignore whom? our own Creator. While we (programmers) make some program or software, always do efforts to make it run according to us. But we try to run away from the order/instructions of our own creator. At last I failed to serve my owner/creator or can say donate something to God in return of he gave me good experience in interview. Here the reason was not that I was again avoiding, actual was that my mind made excuses to not to do so as not having change in my pocket while having a 20 rupee note. Oh! God please forgive me.

I remember that when I was being interviewed by a developer at TCS, India. The experience was that worst that I was praying in my mind "Oh God! please make me leave this place by any mean. I don't need this job. Please!". This was not because I didn't pray for the interview, but there wasn't any preparation for the interview at all. But felt ashamed when God helped me, even then I forgot him while God was standing at My Door to welcome and congratulate for the good experience.
