Unseen Blessings

Almost 2 years before on my birthday it was filled with lots of surprises. Exactly at 12 it was a birthday surprise arranged by Rohan and he made all my loved ones family and boys to be there exactly at 12. Didn’t ever expected that. It was day well spent with lunch with family and dinner with boys in café. It was lot of fun and last minute plans we discussed to end the day with movie or playing cricket. I was exited as soon as Rohan said cricket convinced all boys and went to play cricket. It’s been ages playing cricket or even doing any physical activity. Been just driving car sitting in front of laptop just the walking till the parking would have been the only major physical activity for some years. Was so pumped up as playing cricket during the childhood was the only joy during those days. Was so exited playing started hitting couple of sixes. It’s an indoor court had great fun. With all the excitement not only hitting for sixes just wanted to take even a single run didn’t want to miss that also. As this turf it had a mat as I kept running my walking shoes got stuck I flipped and fell over my shoulder hitting exactly on the ground. Had severe pain still kept on playing. When we started to field I jumped again like Jonty Rhodes flying in the high to catch a catch to later realise I couldn’t even able to move my hand. Then only we realised it’s a fracture or shoulder dislocation. Unable to even move my hand a left hand a bit cos of the pain. At this juncture also I couldn’t able forget the fun Wilpher wanted me to watch the video of gilli song to fix the shoulder dislocation. Immediately we paused the game and we started to the hospital. As soon we went to Kalyani hospital they said it’s shoulder dislocation and we don’t have physio so they suggested to go to Kalyani hospital. During that time when I was in the Emergency Dev and Cliffy singing happy birthday again to end the birthday. Then we went to Kalyani hospital and doctors gave the pain killer and they said it’s shoulder dislocation and they fixed the dislocation. And they put the band in the left hand and advised not to move for 15 days. In my lifetime from my childhood I never had any accidents or fracture or any injury and this was the first time I had that shoulder dislocation. Mostly we often even consider the left hand as most insignificant if we are right handed. When I was not able to do anything with the left hand that’s when I realised I couldn’t able to do lot of things which I used to do at ease. The basic little little things we take for granted. It could be just buttoning the shirt or lifting things, shifting gears. When the shoulder got dislocated and I was not able to do anything I wasn’t worried about anything. My only and only worry was will I be able to drive the car and That’s the only thing which I enjoy the most. If I had to drive all day I’ll still enjoy driving listening to my fav songs. Somehow I don’t like driving automatic cars love shifting gears and driving that’s why I was so worried I will never be able to drive the car again like I used to. After all of those happening during those 2 weeks that’s when I realised how often we don’t value the little little things as blessings what God has given us and we grumble for those unseen blessings. Most of the time Only when we lose them or it’s gone away from us we know how we taken for granted on the little little blessings what God has given in our life’s. By Gods grace I’m back to normal and started driving back again and did couple of solo long drives after that. It was a gentle reminder again for me to never take anything in life which God has given us how significantly small or little it may be but it’s a Bigger Blessing though significantly not seen it should never ever be taken for granted.
