It's Fate! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar
It's Fate!
If Owning a thing
Is my fate
Enjoying it may or may not
Be my fate
In a basket of mangoes
Each mangoes origin
From different places
Planted and watered
By some one
Passing through different hands
Reach some place
To be owned by some one
And
Top of all relished by someone...
The delicious dinner
Kept ready for someone
But enjoyed by someone
Is the fate.
Each tiny grain of rice
Had some name written on it
It will reach where it is supposed to.
When everything is fate
Then farmer will not sow seeds
As he will not enjoy a grain nor gain.
He will wait for fate to sow seeds and reap harvest.
And take the credit..
Then all will sit idle
Waiting for fate to feed.....
Only hard work can feed us.
We Reap what we Sow!
Nothing comes for free, not even a water.
When hard work doesn't pay, we curse our Fate!
But its the Fate which give us more than expected.
If a thing has to reach you, it will cross all hurdles and surely it will reach you.
But again whether its in your fate to enjoy it or gift it, or loose it, or sell it.
Lets not curse Fate!
Do the Best We can!
And make the Best from what we have!

I travel by same train everyday. But one day I changed my train and I met my very old friend. We will tell...what a coincidence..fate was to meet friend. Either my thoughts made me change the train or i got late on tat particular day or some other reason made me change the train.Or this could happen to my friend too..But fate was to meet the friend.
