WHY MIRACLES?
A well known saying goes thus" Doubters invert the metaphor and say that you need faith as large as a mountain to move a mustard seed." What it goes to show that we do have agnostics and atheists. There only problem is their lack of faith in themselves, god and in almost everything. But faith does seem to accomplish a lot many things(MIRACLES). Last night when i was passing by, i overheard a group of some atheists moaning about how god is unfair. I was appalled at their attitude. With people of this kind of mindset, India would hardly need an enemy. The world is yours, you its managing director and god is its owner. You have got to decide what you want to do with it. Take a call and start right away. You will get grumblers whining away at the plight of the society. But we need doers who act. Thinkers are already there. And for this we need faith. Believe in your self. Hope that what you are doing is right, god is with you all the way, and getting you out of tight spots. I have a very good example of this. I have got a very close friend, Prashant. We were preparing for JEE exam. And I always used to moan, 'Gawd how in the name of heavens will we make it to the IITs? when about 2 lakh students are going for it? What chance would we have of making it to the iits? We didn't even go for coaching classes. But Prashant always used to counsel me " Always say' I will make it'. And why can't i? I am preparing for it sincerely. " He told me to have faith in whatever I am doing no matter how big and far fetched my actions or plans may sound. And today he is enjoying his life at IIT POWAI. Thats it, dream big and act on it. Had I got this high dose of optimism a bit earlier, I would have been with him today. But for my negative approach, I could only get AIR 3100. Could not get into a good iit!! See what a price I had to pay for my disparaging mentality. That has gone by now but the repercussions linger. Cut to you, harbor faith and expect miracles.

Very much true. I agree with ur thoughts on 'faith'."!!!
but ur present life is not all that bad, u still have IIMs to go for..!!
and about Miracles, events r termed miracles if they r not explained, but if they r logical, they r called either 'Achievements' or 'luck'....!!!
For me "A Miracle" can be co-related to divine intervention in natural course of events which are par from any explanation...
Self-belief and focused mind can surely pave ur way to a miracle....however from self- experience i derive miracle as God beng a bit partial to me bcoz of d strong connection which i hav with him.....
On a parting note i wud like to appreciate d way u hav put on ur views on dis miraculously miracled word called 'miracle'...
u know what i call miracle...???
i hardly read even my school textbooks for JEE, still i got over 20 marks for each subject...!!!
hahaha!!!
