Hi dear lovely readers,
Firstly, I’d like to say, I love you all and I thank you all.
The title of this post sums up the story. Yes , now i live in Berlin. But how, that is the interesting part.
I finished my Bachelor from a very reputed university in India in April 2011. I had some plans of how I wanted to go for higher studies but all those failed miserably. Also the time for making applications for admissions were over. I had no hope – the only option was to wait for another six months and then apply. This did not go well with my mother, as she had been advising me to apply for a long time but I did not heed her suggestions. It looked like I had made a mistake. My mother was very upset, since I would lose 6 months and also she was worried what other people would say because I was at home after studying in a reputed university with great grades.
But slowly it was affecting me also. I was lost. But I decided to change this and be on the lookout for opportunities. Initially nothing happened, but eventually I found that the applications to Germany were still open. I found a programme that fit my interests and applied.
Also I was trying for other positions to keep me occupied for the time being. One day I went to another city to get a position that I wasn’t so interested in, and here by chance I meet one of my seniors. He tells me about another programme which was also interesting. I was amazed how opportunities were flowing my way, even though that did not mean I would get admitted. But there was still one problem – I had to take an English test and my scores had to reach the admission process on time. I applied to three programmes, but my English score reached only for two of them. But I was confident that I would get admitted to one of the prgrammes in Germany as I had been there for an Internship during my Bachelor. Guess what, I was rejected and everyone was upset, but I was still strong even though i was slightly disappointed. Now I had only one complete application that could get me admitted to a program, and that was in Berlin.
Now I decided to do something that would change my life forever. I started chanting “I live in Berlin,” every day. I was telling it at night, in my sleep, in the mornings. I would get up saying, “I live in Berlin.” Then I started seeing Berlin everywhere in the newspapers, on the television, on Facebook. Everywhere I saw only Berlin. And then something happened which will not seem huge to you readers but was huge for me. I was watching Modern family (I never watch it but my brother likes it very much). In the episodes, the first episode showed Jesus walking on water and the next episode the entire episode was about Berlin. I felt amazed. I knew then that I was going to Berlin, even though the results weren’t out.
I guess you know where the story is headed now. Yes, I got admitted to the program. I live in Berlin now. And Berlin has been great to me, in terms of friends, studies, and entertainment. I have had an amazing time of my life.
The summary of the story is: I made every conceivable mistake possible, I had no way or direction but out of nowhere, a way was made by the Universe. All I had was faith and the words “I live in Berlin” to save me, but they were enough.
I also want to give a tip to all the readers: Pray for others. This so magical because in my experience it never fails and it restores my faith in the Universe. I have so many successful manifestations for my friends and family that will fill pages. So Give prayers to all.
Peace and love to all of you.
