worse,  I  had  to  change  terminals.  As  I  was  about  to
          check in at the Hyderabad airport, I prayed to Guruji to
          help me. The line at the check in counter seemed larger
          that  day  and  I  was  sure  I  would  miss  my  connecting
          flight.  Out  of  the  blue,  the  girl  at  the  'platinum  card'
          check-in  counter  signaled  me  to  come to  her  counter.
          Without  seeing  my  e-ticket,  she  told  me,  “Ma'am,  you
          hardly  have  enough  time  to  catch  your  connecting
          flight. Let me put a 'priority' sticker on your baggage so
          that  it's  the  first  to  come  out  and  you can  save  some
          time.” And she checked me in. How did she know? Why
          did  she  just  call  me  and  no  one  else?  Is  it  normal  to
          book  in  an  ordinary  passenger  through  the  platinum
          card  counter?  I  think  not.  What  I  do  think  is  Guruji
          had heard my plea. As I was expecting, the flight from
          Hyderabad  was  late  by  almost  half  an  hour,  and  that
          meant  I  had  just  half  an  hour  to  claim  my  baggage,
          change my terminal and catch the connecting flight. As
          we reached the arrivals, the belt number for our flight
          was  not  displayed, thus  precious  minutes  were  lost
          trying to frantically look for familiar faces when an old
          potter  came  up  to  me  and  said,  “Your  luggage  will
          arrive on belt no. 2.” How did he know which flight? As
          I reached belt no. 2, thanks to the 'priority' sticker, my
          luggage  was  the  first  to  arrive.  I  rushed  to  the  next
          terminal and was just in time to board the bus before
          the boarding gates closed.

               In another incident, I had to suddenly make some
          unavoidable  purchases  worth  15,000  regarding  my
