FOURTH YEAR: BOLLYWOOD DIRECTOR PRAWAAL RAMAN EXTENDS HIS HELP AS THE FIFTH BEAUTIFUL ANGEL


Angels are visibly invisible!


The FIFTH BEAUTIFUL ANGEL – Bollywood Director Prawaal Raman came in the disguise of Sai Baba with his SMS – ‘For sure Johnny... any time... J thanks for involving me...’ The coincidence of meeting him on the day of Sai Baba’s birthday in Bombay and his extended assurance that he is and will always be there in future too for the movement, made me to thank Sai Baba for coming in my aid at the right moment. I have met few of such amazing angels ever since I started the “Journey of Destiny” each time I have lost hope against hope!


I had met Prawaal Raman during my stint as a film journalist many years ago, when his first film DARNA MANA HAI was about to release. It was a nice interview and knowing the young creative mind was an insight. His first film was highly acclaimed! Over the years, we did lost touch and in 2011 once again we met when I went to shoot his lovely apartment.  He had just released his new critically acclaimed film 404 ERROR NOT FOUND on college ragging. We exchanged our lives and happening and it was like old times. I have been blessed to have got kind support and help from few kind-hearted Bollywood and Television personalities ever since I started the “Journey of Destiny”. I am truly grateful to each one of them from the bottom of my heart.


 

Prawaal indeed was glad to support me for a year. He revealed how urban suicide among school students has increased tremendously all over Indian cities. Prawaal revealed that when his old school Loyola School in Jamshedpur invited him as the Chief Guest for a function last year, “I was shocked that a group of students had made a documentary on students’ suicide. It made me to do something for the students. With like-minded support from few of other actors and directors, we conducted seminars for a span of two months with the help of JIVAN, an NGO in Jamshedpur. Rahul Bose, Sunita Menon, Randeep Hooda, National Award Winner Director Nishikant Kamat and Sufi Singer Satyakam addressed gatherings of 42 schools’ students and their parents. So many issues erupted during the sessions and it is sad that we have been losing so many students to suicide. I am deeply affected knowing these students were not saved. There are multiple layers to suicide and it is fast increasing in many cities.”


I was shocked to hear that Jamshedpur records a high percentage of students’ suicide and as per the National Record, 21% suicide happening in Jamshedpur are that of students. Prawaal is thankful to Father Victor of Loyola School Jamshedpur for assisting his team to organize such seminars to benefit the students and their parents. He continues, “I am also thankful to all the individuals who came forward to address the gathering. I plan to conduct more of such sessions whenever I am free from my work to help do what I can to help a few.”


We shared a great deal about the movement and future projects in the pipeline. Prawaal kindly said, “Johnny, do let me know whenever you need assistance, I will chip in from my side and also try to gather more support from few of my friends. I am glad you have involved me with such a cause that I am deeply affected with.” Beautiful Angels like Prawaal Raman assures me that my Sai Baba is working in tandem with me all the time... testing me at times and providing me with all his kind support by sending me the BEAUTIFUL ANGELS to help and assist me.


Prawaal I am truly-truly grateful to you for all your kind help and support from the bottom of my heart. Sai Baba bless you always and forever!


I still need FIVE BEAUTIFUL ANGELS more... I know SAI BABA will send them soon!

FOURTH YEAR: MEET THE FOURTH BEAUTIFUL ANGEL FROM BOMBAY


 
Angels are visibly invisible!

This year it has been a testing time for the world and me. There are very-very few visibly invisible angels who have come forward to help and support me for a year. The sleepless nights continue to haunt me. I wonder how will I continue forward in the “Journey of Destiny”? Nevertheless, I am not the one to give up and will continue finding new ways and keep knocking doors of the invisible angels. I am also looking out for an opening and yes, I need blessings of one and all so that I find a job soon.

The FOURTH BEAUTIFUL ANGEL is a sweet kind angel from Bombay... who has been helping the movement in various forms time and again. And when I approached her, she was quick to respond with a big YES! I have met her many-many years ago during my stint as a journalist. All these years, we have been in touch either through SMS or at times over phone. She has also involved others to help the movement in her own special way. Angels like her make one to believe that goodness among humans still exists in today’s modern world!

She has requested that her name should not be disclosed. I respect her privacy and I wish to thank her from the bottom of my heart for all her kind help and support from the very start of the movement. I know sweet angels like her will always strengthen the movement in its own special ways. Sai Baba bless you always and forever!

I still need SIX BEAUTIFUL ANGELS more to support me and I look forward to the world to send me these Beautiful Angels, so that the “Journey of Destiny” keeps moving forward to help and support more affected children in the region of Vidarbha. I know my Sai Baba will send the SIX BEAUTIFUL ANGELS to assist and help me, I know HE will!

FOURTH YEAR: MEET THE THIRD BEAUTIFUL ANGEL FROM GOA




Angels are visibly invisible!

As if on instinct, hearing my voice of distress deep in his heart, he called me out of the blue on my birthday and complained that I have not called him since a long time... we talked over here and there over phone for a while... still, he didn’t wished me ‘Happy birthday!’ After a long time, finally I said, “It is my birthday today and you don’t even remember it?” He laughed aloud and wished me and said, “Life is like that...”

Manjit Singh and I have grown up together and we have spend the best and the worst of times together. He is my only friend in the whole world, who was, is and will always be there when I need him the most. His house and his small family are and will always be mine with no conditions attached. His beautiful considerate wife Bindu is one of the most beautiful angels, who always insist that I should live with them and all three of us grow old to support each other. No blood relations at all but the bonding we have shared in the past few decades have been totally astounding. The most wonderful aspect of our strong bonding is that we have never kept any record of any financial transaction. Whenever one is in trouble, we just have to call or send message and like genie, we have helped each other, whosoever is in good position.

Like me, he too, has gone through a lot but we have both come out strong each time we have been down in life. When he came to know about my crisis, he said don’t worry, things will be better. And today, like the genie, he deposited one full year of contribution and said, “Done!” Well, a friend like Manjit Singh is very-very rare in one’s life!

I have been going through sleepless nights and to a great extent Manjit has made me realize that the much required SIX BEAUTIFUL ANGELS will also come forward from various places to support and help me for the Fourth Year.

Sai Baba bless your loving family always and forever dear friend! I am truly grateful that I have you as my friend for life!

FOURTH YEAR: SECOND BEAUTIFUL ANGEL IS AN EXCEPTIONAL ANGEL


Angels are visibly invisible!

When I started the “Journey of Destiny”, he happened to be the first person to encourage me. His encouraging words still touch my heart whenever I feel a little down. And he also happens to be the First Beautiful Angel of the First Year, one whom I gave no option but to help and support me. He just smiled to say ‘yes’. Yes, I am truly blessed to have such a friend in my life. He is an exceptional angel among all the angels!

We are good friends and I am truly thankful to Sai Baba for blessing me with such a good friendship. In the third year, he came on his own to say he will support me for another year, with the only condition that his name should never be disclosed. He says, “This is the least I can do. I don’t need the world to know why I am doing this.” In fact, knowing my condition, he had expressed, even before I decided to search my TEN BEAUTIFUL ANGELS for the Fourth Year, he will be there this year as well. He is truly an exceptional angel in many aspects, at least for the movement and me.

I wish to thank him from the bottom of my heart for being the exceptional angel and above everything else for being one of my good friends in my life. Sai Baba bless you always and forever dear friend!

FOURTH YEAR: FIRST BEAUTIFUL ANGEL PREFERS TO BE ANONYMOUS




Angels are visibly invisible!

I wish to thank from the bottom of my heart the TEN BEAUTIFUL ANGELS of the THIRD YEAR, who extended their great help and financial support for me to keep continuing my efforts. The Third Year also finally saw sponsoring the first girl child (of affected family) Sheetal Ramji Barade of Salod village in Wardha district with a Seven-Year R/D Account. The THIRTY BEAUTIFUL ANGELS, who have supported me since the past three years are to be given the full credit for this beautiful deed!

The “Journey of Destiny” enters the Fourth Year. Last year, I faced financial difficulties because four Beautiful Angels faced their own family problems. They were unable to support me in the last few months. The difficulties made me to go to Bombay in search of a job. I managed to get one too, but my joy was short lived, and even before I could settle well, I was duped by the Publisher. I not only lost money but also certain amount of debt is now on my head. At times, I wonder why I cannot be like others... but deep down somewhere in my sub conscious level, I have not been able to get the answer... this battle within me keeps going on and on, ever since I started the “Journey of Destiny” when I lie on my bed to retire from the day! I wonder will I ever get the answer to my question before I leave this world!  

There will be new problems and many difficulties as the year progresses. However, what I know is my problems and difficulties are far-far less and small as compared to the poor villagers and farmers’ widows and their children’s. So while I serve them with the best of efforts, all I wish is to provide some succour in the lives of the few. I am searching for a job as well, so that I am able to support self to pay off my debts and simultaneously raise enough funds to sponsor some more affected children. Please don’t ask me, how these things is going to happen, because even I don’t know!

When I got job in January 2013, I told all the Beautiful Angels to stop their financial support except those who had sent their yearly help at the start of the Third Year. The Fourth Year is surely going to be tough and worrisome. However, I know my Sai Baba will send the required TEN BEAUTIFUL ANGELS to help and support me. I have written to many people that I know of, for their kind help and support... and so far, I have got only ONE BEAUTIFUL ANGEL, who has extended his kind help and support with one full year of contribution. Two others have committed to support me and I am yet to hear from them. From where will the SEVEN BEAUTIFUL ANGELS fly to help and support me in the Fourth Year (April 2013 to March 2014)? I am just clueless with the only hope that they will surely come...

A few of among the THIRTY BEAUTIFUL ANGELS have been extraordinary selfless, generous and kind, the First Beautiful Angel is one of them. He supported last year and this year, when he read my Facebook status, messaged me to extend his kind help once again. I was speechless when I read the message! And he requested to be anonymous for his support and help. I respect his wish. I am indeed grateful to you my Beautiful Angel! Thank you so very much for your big support and help, without which I wouldn’t be able to continue my efforts on the real grounds.

Sai Baba bless you always and forever!
