Miracles Actually Happen

8th August 2015 would've been a day where a young girl's dream would've been shattered. Swathi, accompanied by her mother Thangaponnu would've returned back home devastated, and heartbroken. It would've been just that, had it not been for a miracle. That morning around 6:30 am, Thangaponnu and her daughter were roaming about lost in the Anna University in Chennai. They were there for Swathi's counseling session in B.Sc Agriculture, but were unaware that the venue of the same had actually changed from Chennai to Coimbatore. Trying to make sense of it all, the two women were just found dumbstruck by a few local morning walkers.

Thangaponnu, a shepherd by profession, couldn't figure out a way to get her daughter to Coimbatore in time. Call them mortal humans, or angels in disguise, one of the walkers offered to help by putting them on the next possible flight to Coimbatore. The others, in the meanwhile asked their friends/contacts to inform the registrar about the case. By 7:50 AM they agreed to look into the case. These guys also arranged for a car that would transport them to the venue. Thankfully, the registrar had made an arrangement to ensure that Swathi got a fair counseling.

Brilliant in academics, Swathi had worked very hard to get a score of 1017 out of a possible 1200, and had it not been for these few people, it wouldn't have mattered. As of now, she is doing a B.Sc. Bio-Technology course in TNAU.

When asked about what had happened, Swathi said, “It was very kind of them to do so. They came around like an angel when we had lost hope,” Thangaponnu said that they wanted to return the money they spent to buy the flight tickets. How else could they thank them? Miracles do happen in our daily lives.

Mr. Saravanan (SAROV) 84 batch ECE and his friends, Mr.Paramasivam and Mr.Jaisankar are the angels who helped the girl.
