I want to share one experience. I am a strong god believer but i never go to temple or bribe god by saying that will give this and that if such a thing happens.
So, Let me say. It was in 2006. I was working with one leading publishers in Kottayam in the HR and Personnel Department, but really fed up with the lots of works, partiality of the management and low salary and the employers rough attitude towards ladies.
Though, I prayed to god to give me something better, it never happened, instead day by day, i was given lots of works only. I found it too difficult to handle the statutory compliances, attendance, payroll of more than 500 persons alone. But then with the god given strength, i somehow done it.
Then, it was on March 26th that i saw a man who don't know any work, just jogging about in the office and much junior to me was given a very high salary hike. This really brought tears in my eyes. But then nothing can be done. With hope, sitting there, i prayed to God, but not the usual one, i just prayed, next month my birthday comes, and on that day, i should give my resignation.
Days passed by, many many applications were sent but no response. But everyday i talked to God, as i was talking to a friend, i just told him,see your time ends here, just prove-- like that.
But on, April 23rd night, ,i received a call from a highly reputed company, to attend for a interview at their place on 25th.I went to the interview, attednded it. Then on my way back, i received the second call from them to attend the second interveiw on 27th. I went there, nothing to speak, they just asked me the salary part. They quickly agreed to my part, gave me the offer letter within an hour. See, on that day, afternoon, i went the office and submitted my resignation and then joined in the new company from may 22nd.
It was my birthday on Apr 27th. Now, God gave me, what i asked, but he gave it to me only when he felt that i was needy, what i asked with real tears in my eyes. Now, one more thing, now only i came to understand that why god gave me such a work load at that place, it is because he was giving me knowledge and strength to handle statutory compliance, because he had some plans for me, which i was not aware of. See, when i left that company, many a people contacted me for statutory doubts, and even from the company, where i left they contacted me for preparing annual returns. So, then, I thought, why cannot i make it my own, now with proud let me tell you, alone i am handling the payroll of more than 50 companies and as far as known, the one and only lady consultant.
So, now this is the professional part. But let me say a small incident and stop. One day, my 12 year girl fell down and broke her knee, i was alone at that time, i took her to the nearby medical college, there they took her x-ray and told there is a fracture, so, plastering is to be done. So, i was totally alone, i have to go to get the plaster,do many a things, and i cannot take her also with me. Then, from nowhere a man appeared and told me that he is my mother's friend and he just came to visit a distant relative, and said to me you go and do all things, i will be with her, with the help of that good man, i purchased plaster, phoned my husband, (at that time, mobile was not so popular, and then i have to go out to make a call) then till the time of plastering he was there, but when my husband and father came, he was nowhere to be seen, and infact , i was not been able to say a thanks. But the funniest part is that when i asked my mother, she don't know any person by this name.
So, if you call god, god is there, but will not be with you, until you call him with real tears and then chat with god as if to a friend, he is having plans for us which we don't even dreamt of .
