car key and today..

Though the order could be today and car key, the events that surround around car key precedes any other event that would have occured today. All of a sudden, I remembered I have this shopper's stop gift coupon that I won as a performance award last year. When I saw it for its vailidity, it had expired by a month. I thought I'll take my chance with my luck as Shopper's Stop is just the next building, I decided I go down and buy something in swift. Also, I had to return the audio cd to the library which was in the car. A raised multitasker that I am, I decided to do all this and a little bit of socialising, I called Deepthi to accompany me. We both set our way to Shopper's stop with the usual chit chat as if it was just two of us who existed on this planet.

When we formally cross checked if I could still use the coupon, promptly I came back to cosmetics section to browse on what's new on the beauty enhancer's front. As nothing fit the bill, we happen to land our eyes on the lovely handbags and wallets as both of us binged on seeing all the bags. Its then I remembered, my car keys were missing. I literally went berserk and ran to the first stop of our journey in SS, the cosmetics section. No..its not there. My heart beat slipped 2..no no..4 beats. Then I remembered, we had also gone to perfume section. No luck there too.

I know i was tensed. Tensed about all the practical problems. As far as I know, I dont have a duplicate key back at home. I dont even know what to do next. I put my brain to the best use and sent away my friend back to office. Went to the customer care section and made them do an announcement that such a great thing has happened to me. My brain and heart had changed places. However, I was all set to face the consequences. Promptly called a very good friend of mine for some advice. Again, this is what girls do. We want to tell the whole world if possible, what's happening within too.

Deep down, I was very confident I'll get the keys. This is something, I have learnt out of attending a mind power course and experience. I just visualised as if everything is fine. And me going home in my yellow car, listening to my favourite music on the same road that takes me home everyday. I'm not at all rational then. I know there is this little angel above me which is always protecting me and all.....

And the miracle came to me through this angel who was on the cal. He kept insisting I stay put at shopper's stop till i get it. I really dont know what prompted him to do so. I again went back to Shopper's stop with my emotional baggage and the luggage with prayers to the above lord to the same spot where i lost the sight of the key. While I was wandering near the bags section, the salesman of that particular domain casually asked me dangling that cute little car key around his index finger if that's what I'm looking for.

I almost visibly jumped out of excitement, joy and what not. The rest as they call is history. Thanked everybody - all involved and non involved staff of shoppers stop.

Drove home like how i visualised. Listening to my favourite music in my yellow car on the road that took me home like it does everyday.
