Late Actions Can Create BIG Changes

Hey there all,

Well wadya know?? I’m BACK again! I tell you what.. I’ve been mega busy! My business is booming and my relationship is thriving! I’ve been working on my business PremAtma Ltd. It’s a video editing company which deals in professional filming, editing and DVD productions, as well as VHS to DVD conversions to treasure all those special memories.  Check out http://www.prematmaproductions.com/

Anyhoo! This is about a major decision that I took in my life today. It’s a decision that I’ve been wanting to make for a long time and recently I did it… But I didn’t do it properly… But today… Today was a new day, a new development, a new me.

Recently, things have been going very well with my girlfriend and I, and so we decided to take it a step further. Being an Indian in an Indian environment, things went along the traditional Indian way… We decided that we want to take it further and out parents took it further by making all the decisions and stuff.

Wanting to keep my girlfriend happy and do the right thing, I didn’t want to just ask her to marry me in case she wasn’t ready, so that’s how we came to a joint decision. But I’ve always been a bit of an old fogey and I really wanted to propose to her but never thought it was the right time.

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve had constant calls to action from the Universe to do things right away, and to do what my heart tells me. I’ve learnt to trust my heart and follow my instincts but never do I take action straight away.

So I came over to my girlfriends house the other day and was sitting with her parents, sister and her aunt and uncle, and her uncle is the kind of character, which he even explained himself, to do things straight away. So here I am, sitting in the room with them and he’s saying all about how he takes action straight away on things that he wants to do and I can only think about 2 things:

1) Ordering a new analogue to digital converter

and

2) Proposing PROPERLY to my girlfriend.

Well I did the first straight away as I went home that evening. I also decided on number 2…

The next day (which is today) I called round some flower shops and when i called they were either closed or they didn’t have exactly what I wanted. I thought to myself, I’m not going to settle for anything less than what I want.

I went out to look for some and I found two perfect bunches. I asked the florist if she could put both together (because I know Jilna, my girlfriend, likes the colour pink, so I got both red and pink).

I came home, went straight over to my girlfriends house, rang the doorbell, got down on one knee, and said to her “Jilna, will you marry me?”. Wadya know??? She said YES!!

I knew we were going to get married and everything was agreed between the two families but nothing felt right. It didn’t feel like we were engaged, it didn’t feel like it was in our hands, and I know Jilna was upset that I didn’t do things properly the first time. But you know what? This changed everything. I went away knowing that things were right, and that everything was in line and as it should be. Now I can carry on this path knowing that things are going to work out and work out the way that WE want.

So remember, Late Actions Can Create BIG Changes.

  4. Hi Sawanbhai,

    Dadi told me about your engagement. Congratulations. I am very happy for both of you. I just wanted to see if the news had been put on the Oshwal news, so I typed Sawan and Jilna on Google. And the first thing that came up was your website. I was suprised.

    Love,
