Gift of the Gods
TweetThe day was 14 th February 1963 when I accompanied my Dear parents to the Madurai Medical College to join duty as Assistant Lecturer in English.
I was not happy and I was almost sulking. My Dad was particular that I should be in Government Service. Well, we met the Head of the office in the college I gave the joining report.
He sent for the only other member of the Department…a Gentleman. ..He came, we were introduced to him and he took us to the English Department.
I was almost in tears for I felt lonely. The college where Iwas working for the past six months was a giris’college. When my parents left on that day I felt
utterly lost and miserable.
After a couple of days I told my father that I did not like the college or the other member of the Department. My Dad asked me in a matter of fact way”well, why should you like him. Go and do your duty sincerely.”
In a few weeks’time I understood how good,kind and understanding the other member of the Department was. I slowly observed how responsible and how kind he was.
The only Peon (Sarangapani) always accompanied me (probably because of the instruction of my Colleague). In a few weeks I realised that the Almighty had showed me the man who would travel with me in my life’s journey. Parents of both sides felt the same.
Our marriage took place on the 26th of May 1965.
Because of my Wonderful husband I have had a Happy Happy life…..both personally and officially……
He is the Gift of the Gods!
