…finishing the exam I asked my fellow colleague that where is the third day exam center to which she replies, their are three center for this exam and all these three centers are located nearby only along the railway track. And the name of the center is written on the admit card and the names are very similar. On the third day exam, very casually looking at my admit I presume that my exam is at the same center as my colleague as I reach there but as soon as I reach there I find it to be hospital, where first we have to give a blood test before even giving the exam. And when I approach the nurse she tell me to wait as she was handling a case of premature fetus delivery and soon after the delivery the fetus was being thrown away to which I question the nurse that why the fetus is being thrown away as it has some life in it. To which the nurse replies that it may have some life but it is undeveloped and it will not survive as it’s different organs are not formed properly. After that she calls me for the blood test but she refuses to take the blood sample as she says that my name is not in that exam center list. Due to which I get anxiety prone and looks at my admit card and sees that there is sublet difference in the name of the center, then I again approach that colleague of mine to ask where is this center, she tells me that it is nearby only but that already a lot of time is lost I will not be able to reach in time. There is a shorter way and it is through the railway track but it is quite dangerous as If I am not vigilant anytime a train can run over me. After hearing all this I still decide to go along the railway track and walking and crossing over the railway track I reach the road which was at the back side of center which was a collage and in order to enter the collage I need to reach the front gate which was still quite far away as the collage campus was of acres and we had to go all the way round the campus to reach the front gate for entry. Then I just see a bus full of hooligans passing which was eventually going to the collage. Seeing which I decide to unwillingly board the bus, but it did not stop rather those hooligans just present in the bus pretend to stop and bus come close by and just pass by and all those people just tease me make fun of me and say there is no seat available for me.
At last I decide to walk, then suddenly to my utter surprise I find a new companion, the newly first time elected MLA , who was also facing the same issue of not reaching the center in time for the exam. Seeing the fact that we both are in the same boat we decide to find out a way reach the center quickly to which she replied that no worries if we climb on this fence on the back side of the collage we will be able reach quickly. But from a distance the fence seemed to high but as we approached near we found out to be so low and even built of bamboo instead of concrete. So we were easily able to reach the collage and the building in which the test was to be conducted was just there. As we both entered the test wasn’t started and we were perfectly on time, it was just five minutes test which was very easily completed by both of us. And then we both headed towards our home greeting as friends and soon after reaching the home I watch on TV that she has been proclaimed the new chief minister of bihar and seeing her photo on TV I just exclaim that are it is same girl with whom I gave the exam and who told me while parting we will be friends even afterwards and it was nice to meet each other.
Beautiful dream. After all the trials and tribulations and the challenges of life you are being led to your goal by ‘Maithili’ which implies a power of the Divine Mother who incarnated upon earth as Mata Sita to bear the suffering and show to human beings the way of truth and light. She is helping you to reach your goal. What greater assurance does one need. Her Presence is the great protection against all menacing forces.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
