I am a masters student in the USA. Its my first few months here and I would like to share a small incident with those who believe in Sai Baba. I have been living in a lovely apartment for the past three months with two other wonderful girls which I should say I got hold of due to Sai's grace. While a lot of my counterparts have been struggling to get assistantships I am grateful that I have been lucky enough to have it from the beginning . One of my room-mate recently got an admission to another university and I suddenly found myself short of money to afford the apartment. I would like to mention that our owner being a wonderful person that he is agreed to reduce the rent out of his pocket but we still couldn't afford it. We looked at a lot of apartments, on foot, in the horribly cold winter. It was an ordeal I cannot express. Finally we decided to take an apartment which had nothing but a carpet and a roof on top. We both got prepared to finally move in. The day we went to the real estate agents to sign a lease I took only one check with me. Disturbed and unhappy that I was, I absently wrote "six hundred dollars only" at the slot where I had to write to whom the check was "payable to". The female in-charge said she won't accept the check and asked to get another check. We were already exhausted by walking about 6 kms. As I started to go to the bank, on foot again which was a few kilometers from there, she said she was leaving for lunch . So we decided we I'll come back the next day. I and my roommate went back home and called up our present owner who incidentally is one of my professors, to tell him about the incident. He promptly decreased the rent by 100 dollars and said that he would like us to stay back. I forgot to inform that these lovely apartments are owned by a fellow Indian and are always in full demand. He could have easily got other tenants without loosing a single penny. This might not be a heart rendering incident ,but all those things falling together was no coincidence. It was definitely Sai's grace. I love Saibaba and I only hope that people see the small boons he bestows on us proving that "if you love me, I am always there to help you".
