(What is your instant karma? Originally Answered: What is the best case of instant karma that you’ve experienced?)
It happened to me for something I did unknowingly and unintended….
I was new to Bangalore and had taken a room in a PG (paying guest facility, used majorly by IT crowd). Most of the staff were Tamilians. One of them was a plain village girl of 16–17 years who took up housekeeping duties. She could barely speak any other language but was learning fast - Kannada and Hindi. The owner used to call her Maggie as her original name was too long for anyone to pronounce.
Maggie's only friend and comfort in this unknown city was her old Chinese mobile phone. She used to even record Tamil songs from TV on it and listen to them. And one fine day the phone had some problem. She asked me for help; but as I was trying to see what went wrong, it fell on the ground and the screen got shattered! I felt guilty and promised her to check if I could get it repaired over the coming weekend. She tried to act normal and said “Don't worry; it was anyways not working, I will pay for the repair work in case you can manage to get it fixed.” but I could easily read the sadness behind those eyes. For that week she somehow looked totally lost…..
Well, I had an event at my office that week and as I tried to check my camera a day before, it somehow didn't switch on at all! Now out of all my worldly possessions, the one I am most possessive about is my camera! I have been doing photography ever since I was 10 and had a Nikon P series semi-professional this time with 38x optical zoom. Probably I was as miserable as Maggie was. God only knew who was more miserable actually! I gave the camera to Nikon service centre with a dejected mood, it still had 2 months warranty left.
On the next Saturday, a friend and I took the broken mobile and went to a good service centre in Jaynagar. The guy looked at it and said that screen replacement would cost 1700/ with no guarantee whether it would work later or not, whereas a new higher model would cost me 2400/. I had to decide what to do. I made my choice and came back to the PG.
Maggie was sitting all alone on a chair near the gate. I told her sorry that the mobile couldn't be repaired even if we paid for it.
“Parawayillai Akka” she said. (It's ok she said. Well I picked up bits of Tamil and Kannada from the housekeeping staff as well as locals.)
I then took out the packet from my bag and gave it to her, her smile was that of 1000 volts: it was a new mobile! She wanted to pay me for it in installments from her small salary but I didn't accept, I felt as if I owed this to her…Got some guilt off my heart, slept peacefully finally!
2 days later- on Monday, the Nikon guys called me saying that my camera had a part damaged, it was available only in China and would take another 1 month to reach India.
“Then! What now!?” I panicked.
“Well ma'am since it was under warranty and we are unable to repair it, we are giving you a replacement.”
“Same one?” I wasn't happy as mine had cost me 24k when I bought it, now it was at 17k since new models had arrived like all other electronic goods.“
“No ma'am! We are giving you the new higher one with 60x optical zoom.” replied the guy! And in the same week, I had my new camera with me. A new better model!
Sometimes good also comes back to you, please don't blame Karma for bad things happening with you. Try adding a bit of kindness into your life, who knows how much more the Goddess above bestows upon you from Her Kind Heart. Try giving than expecting, you won't need to ask for anything, it will automatically be taken care of!
(The reflection and colour by the 60x camera- resembles the colour of my that particular moment of happiness….All these pics are from Bhigwan near Pune, it was a visual treat with all the beautiful creation of Lord esp Pink Flamingos around you!)
