I was Blessed!!

This story happened in Chennai in the year 2008 I think.
I was blessed by God through a Crow early in the morning..
It was such a terrific blessing that I could not hold it for long time.

That was a memorable day for me.
I was going to my flat from office in the morning after night shift.
I started late from office due to some work. This time going alone and walking as my Team Lead stayed back there.

It was Karkidakam(Aadi) 1, one fine Wednesday morning.
On the way I froze my legs when I reached in front of a nearby temple.
Decided not to get into the temple.. as there is not much difference in going inside or standing outside.. A wall can not make much difference!!
[Note: Decided to visit that temple in the evening :) ]

Since it was the first day of the month, I bent my head down for a moment.. just for nothing..
@ 5.40am, I was blessed. A crow was there sitting on a cable wire. I was just under that crow. And it did shit on the back of my shoulder.. Fortunately it did not fall on my head.. Thank God..
I have never seen such a big quantity of crow shit in my life.. It almost covered the back side of my white shirt.

Normally I would have said something to the crow.. But I kept quit and just looked at that crow. The expression on its face was awesome.. What a serene gaze that was.. Oscar winning one.. Actually I expected a sympathetic look.. but it did not even look at me.. :(

The foul smell was too much and I removed my shirt and held it like holding a kitten with two fingers on its neck.. That day I had not wear any inner shirt.. haha.. and simply walked down the street.. Jogging guys n gals looked at me as if I were from Mars.. but they did not laugh at me.. :)

When I reached my room, I found out that my pants too got some blessing..
Had I seen this earlier, I would have removed my pants also.. Please excuse me.. one of my room mates made this comment..

Moral of the story: If u did not bend your head down, crows would shit on your head.. :)
