Intuitions

Has it ever happened to you that you feel something and it happens! Well, for me it keeps happening. It is not necessarily a good thing.If one intutes about a bad experience and it happens, you will be scaredof thinking. Alliance Francaise has organised a party today. I bought the tickets last weekend itself. Even my friend was interested in coming, so I bought tickets for both of us. We had planned to go together. However, ever since the time the plan was made, I had this feeling thatthis won't work out. He will refuse at the last moment. I was so sureabout it that I shot a mail to him this morning, asking what time he would meet me.I was right, he had some deadline to meet and he couldn't make it.The frequency of my intuitions hitting bull's eye is amazing but that doesn't mean that I cherish the quality I have. It is believed that dreams can hold the key to our future. For instance, the belief goes that if you dream that someone in your family is getting married, there willbe a death in your family. I did not believe this when I first heard it. Was I right ? Not quite. My grandfather had been going through a phase of bad health for a long time. Almost a year. Suddenly one night I dreamt that my cousin was getting married. When I wokeup, the first think that I heard was that he passed away. I was shocked. I was stunned, I couldn't say a word. I got over this shock as time passed by. However this wouldn't be the last time that my intuitionwould scare me. Late in 2003, my aunt fell sick. After a few months my aunt and her family came down to Mumbai for her treatment. I took leave for a couple of days and went to Mumbai. I didn't sense much trouble the first few days. On my last day of leave, I booked bus tickets for Pune. Before leavingI went to meet my aunt in the hospital. I don't know what struck me but I walked out of that hospital room,staright into a phone booth, called up my colleague and told her that I wouldn't be returning to workfor the next 3 days. I did not take that bus. I slept that night, a bit apprehensive. I was woken up earlymorning, around 4am. There was a call from the hospital. My aunt had passed away. Manyatimes small incidents which happen, like taking a bus or a trip or even losing a match, I perceive them. Most people wouldn't believe me when I tell them, "I knew this would happen." Can't blame them. Science does not explain intuitions. Science doesn't explain God too. We don't stop believing in Him, do we? Although scared sometimes, I choose to trust my intuitions. somehow, somewhere inside us, we know what will happen the next moment, don't we?
