Guruji's surprising gifts.. Meeting Sachin & Virat

Jai Guru Ji

Jaa Aish Kar ! 

Guruji decided to give us one of the biggest gifts and surprises in May, 2016 but for me, it was one of the biggest miracles !!

It was one of the day when I took off from office since my sister's daughters were coming at our home to spend the day.  They came in the morning and we were contemplating what to do.  We decided to go to DLF Mall of India in Noida in the evening.  My husband who was also at home that day suggested that we should go in the afternoon and come back early to avoid office traffic.  So, me, my daughter and my 2 nieces went to Mall of India.

We reached there at 3 pm. There were posters all around that Sachin Tendulkar is coming to the Mall.  Then a girl came (from event organising team) and told us that Sachin is coming at 4:30 pm and if we want to see him, we should be near the ground floor stage.  We didn't pay much attention and told her that we will see as there is still some time in that.

Kids wanted to go to Smaaash on the top most floor and play games there.  When we reached there, we were told that the entry is not allowed for public today and it it closed since Sachin is coming to Smaaash that day.  We were standing outside  and thinking what to do!  Suddenly, a gentleman said in a loud voice to us 'Do you want to see Sachin'??  I thought he must be joking.  I said 'Yes, we want to get photograph clicked with him'.  He smiled but said nothing and I thought 'such a funny guy, made a fool of us'.

After a minute, a lady came and handed over 4 visitor bands to us.  She said that we can go inside Smaaash and attend Sachin's press conference as that Gentleman has told her to do so.  We were super excited and thought that he must be someone influential from Media.  We thanked him and he said that since my daughter resembles his grand daughter, he felt like doing so.

We went inside and waited for Sachin.  There were journalists all around.  Kids wanted to play the games.  I went to the counter and told them to make a card for us.  They made the card for all 4 of us.  When I took out cash to pay them, they said 'No need Madam, for you all, all games, food and entertainment is FREE'.  I was delighted.  Later we came to know that gentleman who allowed us in was the Owner of Smaaash in India.

After attending Sachin's press conference, he also called us for a photograph with him (whereas there were ques for this and no one was allowed).  We thanked him immensely and he said that next month Virat Kohli is coming and we can meet him too.

True to his promise, he sent me the invite on mail and we again went to meet Virat next month and got a photograph clicked with him.

How can such ordinary people like us breakthrough all barricades and were given this opportunity twice amongst thousands and very influential people.  We were not even aware as to when Sachin was coming. Who made it possible?? Without a doubt it was Guruji.

Shukrana Guru Ji
