How many of you believe in: NEVER HOLD ANY THING. LET IT GO. IF IT COMES BACK TO YOU IT IS YOURS AND IF IT DOES'NT IT NEVER WAS!!!
I never quite identified with it, considering I am so possessive about my things, that “never hold on” was never an option.
But, just last week did I witness this and as much as I don’t want, I believe in it now. I won’t take any names, but this story is about a friend whom I shall replace with myself and narrate. Ok ?
All this started when I was all excited to meet this guy from school on a date. One day he emailed me that he’s going to be in town and if I would care to meet him over coffee. Do I care? Oh hell, yes! I do and I do so much to the extent that I go to buy a new dress including a very expensive, infact exorbitantly steep jacket to don with it.
He did comment on how good I looked, especially how pretty my jacket was, but it turned out that it was just an insouciant meet, no string attached kinda thing. As disappointed as I was, I realized spending all that moolah over that stupid jacket made no sense. So, I just went to the store and returned that “alleged” no-help jacket back to the store. (One good thing in the States – you can return anything anytime if you have the receipt)
Two Months later …
The boy and the date were history. I started to fall for this another guy, who suddenly one evening called me up and invited me for lunch the very next day.
Very next day??? Isn’t that’s too short of a notice – I don’t even have anything to wear for the date. Next day, I get up and rush to the mall to get ready for my date (as you see, I buy something new for every occasion). I scoured all stores but just nothing that appealed. Reluctantly, I walked to my jacket store and saw the same styled jacket which I had taken a few weeks back. The fact that it atleast looked pretty and fit me so well last time, I decided to try it. Got one for my size and off for my date :)
This guy too commented on my sexy jacket, but umm – no sparks flew during the lunch and I realized he’s just not my types. So I decided to return the jacket yet again. While checking the pockets before finally packing it off – guess what I found ….
The receipt of the coffee that I had had 2 months back !!!
Consider it - the same design and the right size were still in the store after two months and inspite of having a zillion options to choose from, I chose this one again… and not only the same style, the same size… but the same exact piece.
Whoaaa… looks like neither of the two guys were made for me …but the jacket… definitely was. Well this time, I shall not let it go :)
Isn’t that definitely “made for each other “ . What say you ?
Have any “made for each other” stories to share?
definitely the jacket was "MADE FOR YOU"....

Hm..thats a sweet one!!
ReplyDeleteI seem to be the first person to comment always.
ReplyDeletenice, lively post which brought smile on my otherwise gloomy face.
I m more interested in knowing about the persons in reference(hahhahah)
I know of one case where a person lost her LV purse but finally found it,after running around all over the city( it was meant to be hers so she found it)know what i mean?
rearding relations I strongly believe in the opening statement.although it hurts a lot to set your dear things or person free but if he returns back to you, just imagine what a satisfying and ego boosting moment will that be, moreover the intensity of your feelings , your confidence and your happiness will grow double fold.
and if he doesnt that means he was not worth you.
I do believe in that saying.
ReplyDeleteBut it matters to relationships with other human beings and not to objects like jacket, dress or electronics, hehehe.May be its true for objects as well, but i dont care or it doesnt matter much.
I believe in a slightly modified version of it: "Give it a try and stay aside. if it was ever yours, it would come back to you, else it was never yours."
Ohhhh this is awesome!! I have a made for each other story. My Vaio, which I know I am gonna get hold of soon!
ReplyDeleteyup that is made for each other...hmm and u sure this happenend to a friend?!
