April 1st, 1987


It was very dark and raining heavily in the densest part of some jungle. But we were on a tight schedule. So we carried on. We reached another place where it was still around noon and very sunny. We didn't stop here either. Too many "deliveries" to make - we had to move on. Then suddenly the air-bus we were travelling in made an abrupt halt and God walked over to me and pointed in the direction of some lights.

It was dark outside, but as my vision adjusted to the darkness, I realised he was pointing at a building. Looking closely, I noticed a lot of people - A LOT of people - all of them busy and running around in all directions. It was utter chaos, especially when compared to the serenity in God's presence. That's when God said, "Here is where you drop off". I was scared stiff. And which Just-about-to-be-born kid wouldn't. I told him, "But God, I would be lost in that crowd." He said, "Don't worry, I shall always be with you."

But me being ME (see, I have been like this since before-my-birth) I said, "That's fine. But still promise me I shall always stand out in any group." To which he replied, "OK, so be it."

I was pleased. But looking back, I now feel - "Maybe he shouldn't have taken me so seriously". Just look at this pic.
