Day before yesterday there was an evening get together of the organization where I started my working career. This is an annual affair. I was keen to attend that as it gives an opportunity to meet old colleagues. I did not want to tire myself before going there, so I thought of relaxing at home. But as the luck would have it I had to go out for an urgent chore. I had just driven 3 kms when I felt some funny behavior of the car, which is Maruti Zen Estilo only 1 ½ year half old with just little over 10 thousand kms logged. Sure enough, after wait for green signal at the traffic light it would not budge on engaging gear but engine would race well. I knew it that it is clutch problem. So I got it pushed to side with the help of passing Police PCR, which was a surprise as they did not say anything but gave help. I called up the authorised workshop where I normally go. Their service engineer was with me in a little while and confirmed that it needs to be taken to workshop. So it was towed a distance of about 12 kms. It was confirmed that clutch needs to be opened for replacing parts which had given way. So I was without car for the evening.
All this while I was busy in tying ups for taking it to workshop with no other thought in mind but after it was left there I thought “ Thank God it happened now when I could call for help, had it happened in the evening on my way back from get together I would have been stranded.”
My idea of sharing this is that no matter what the situation be one should not give up positive thinking. Everything happens for some reason beneficial to us.
PS : I did attend the get together as an old colleague staying little distance away was kind enough to take me along.

Whenever I have somewhere to go on invitation...something like this happens...
But yes...we should be positive about everything which come to us...

How very true! We often curse those moments and fail to see the good in them, only to realize it later.
Thanks for sharing. It's the little things that we need to remember in times of need.
Phew! I am glad that things got well in the end! :)
And a great lesson to be kept in mind, always! :)
A lovely little post, yes, it does help thinking positive! The kind of life we lead today dealing with endless difficulties, it would not be possible to live a healthy life if we do not think positive.
What a great life lesson...Did you attend the party?
Your optimism is infectious.
yes...positive thinking really works. Remember I started the 7 days of positivity in my blog...it helped me to focus on the positive side of each situation.
I really believe that every situation has a positive side...its just that we need to focus on the big picture.
Hope you had fun..!!!
Take care

I am sure you have seen the worst of life considering how experienced and full of wisdom you are. And it's really, really wonderful that you still manage to be so optimistic.
Rightly concluded that whatever happens is for some good, which at that time we don't realise but it becomes apparent later, why God wanted us to suffer at that moment.
regards
KOMAL :
I have been through ups and downs and learnt my lessons. It does not pay to think negative because then all energy is wasted in that way. Positive thinking leads to find solution out of difficult situations. Take care
RESTLESS :
You said it so rightly that at that time we may not realise the good part of what happened and it is only on reflections later that it come to our mind. Take care
