The Signal.

Do you believe in God?
Or for that matter, a divine Entity, actively altering our course of life, and guiding us towards enlightenment?
Well, I will let you out a secret.
Imagine a guy, with a billion eyes, sitting in front of equal number of CCTVs in a ‘control room’ enjoying a donut and a grand latte, and equally enjoying watching all of us make fools of ourselves! Well you call him God, but I call him ‘The Dude’!
Well, about the dude: He is a good guy. Not too bright to think on his toes, about what to do about crisis situations. What he likes to do is to drop hints. And see if we can see them!
So this is what is called ‘The Signal’
Well guys, you all must have experienced ‘The Signal.’
It is always subtle. Like, when you are going to say something wrong, and suddenly somebody in the room gets hiccups, or when you want to go out and there is a power failure.
‘The Signal’ is the way it works folks. It is the way The Dude likes to intervene.
Don’t expect any kind of active intervention from Him. He is too busy with his coffee. But what he can do is to show you ‘The Signal’.
Imagine. You leave your house to meet someone. And you find that the elevator is stuck at some other floor. Thats the first Signal.
You take the flights, go down, only to find that there are no ricks. Second signal.
You are already late. The person keeps on calling you like insane. Telling you that he/she is getting late. So in a hurry, you get into a shady rick, and tell him “bhagao’.
And wonder what happens? The rick breaks down.The Third Signal.
Mind you. There are only three signals by default. If you don’t get them, then the dude figures out that you are too dumb to be rescued.
So eventually you reach late, the person is furious, you end up paying double fare, and your work is not done!
So listen to my advice. Turn back on the first signal. Make some pretence. Say that you feel like you have Flu! It is a very valid and tested technique!
When your phone acts like a stubborn kid, and refuses to send some message, it is ‘The Signal’!
When you suddenly find out that you have nothing ironed to wear, and the current goes, it is ‘The Signal’!
So, take my advice. Never ignore ‘The Signal’. After all, it is The Dude talking with you.
Follow this, and you may not be the richest, most successful, person on the earth. But you will be happy.
And i did not make this up. Its true. You see, The dude allowed me to publish it! So believe me! He gave me a green to tell you all this!

  2. Dude..! (Whom so ever it may concern)
    The problem with picking up signals is that even if u pick it up the first time or u dont pick it up ne of the times , The result is the same..! Like in ur case the work is not done..! So shld v continue after the first signal or just let it go..! I wd say we continue cos there is no harm in trying and failing than not trying and making failure certain. Sometimes you get the signal that by taking a certain action the result is not going to b good. so u try to avoid doing that action but evn then the result is same. so this only tells u that destiny cant b changed and there is no way to prove otherwise. But that doesnt mean we shld stop trying cos sometimes even The Dude gets our Signals..! Thats what we call Miracles.
