May God decide, believe in him

...call G.swamy-ji to interpret !

Sept. 23 ?

That some amount will be paid to some pensioners in compliance of the SC order of MAY 7 in response to Delhi HC writ may get derailed much to the disappointment of those few. Come SEP 23 when the Bench resumes the hearing whether at all any thing will happen is again anybody’s guess. The ongoing legal tussle drives even a rationalist to believe in destiny although the young monk Swami Vivekananda said that man is creator of his own destiny. Some of my astrology fanatics with good intention predicted that the planetary positions are favorable to us on that fateful SEP 23. 

Very much confused over all this astrology and destiny I became very inquisitive to know what Koran says about them :

Islam says that the position of the stars and planets has no bearing on what will happen to us nor does it believe in destiny. Muslims are forbidden  to engage in astrology and it is a sin to show your palm for prediction. The question remains can we change what will happen to us. Does prayer or active participation in a situation have any effect on the outcome of the events Islam says YES. Nothing could change in divine intervention except fervent surrender to God. Rightly so Lord Tennyson in his poem said : ‘More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. SEP 23  not being far away let us all pray for justice to prevail and let the Almighty decide what is justice and what is injustice and let his invisible hand write the judgment.

I thought instead of getting bogged down in the legal turmoil and unable to answer my better half when will I fulfill that fabulous present which I stupidly committed ever since we got justice from Justice Bhandari on May 2010 

Only Bhandari knows law and not
the judge who dismissed contempt petition

and my own vow to Lord Ganesha that I will break 100 coconuts on the day I receive the dues adjudicated in the court (In this 5 years the prices of the coconuts have gone up alarmingly) 

"Prices of coconuts have gone up alarmingly high"
but the vow will be kept.

thought it will be wise to laugh a while now and then to keep me going :

An Insurance agent instead of 

seeing his prospects as told by 

his boss spent the afternoon in one 

of the X-rated  movie show. 

He went back to his office and told his boss 

that in the afternoon he saw two girls who 

were not covered.
