I would like to share the latest miracle in my life. From my friends group only myself and another friend got posted in Hyderabad(TCS). At first ,I couldn’t accept the change..and was asking God why God??why??
But Later as our God being great a great comforter…comforted me with His lovely words showing me that Abraham,Joseph ,Daniel ….were blessed in place far away from home. J Life went on good…with new friends by God’s eternal grace.
But after one and a half years I was urged to ask God for transfer. I went home for Easter.On returning I don’t know why but was very much urged to ask God. I came to a position that I couldn’t give to God’s will but all that I wanted was transfer. On returning from home my PL said he was ready to give release from project although he cannot help me with transfer.He kept on telling that anyways RMG(Resource Management Group one who allocates resources in TCS) will never give you transfer without any valid reason.Anyways release was yet again a miracle.Due to budget problem there was a huge ramp down.So I was included in the release list. Still my PL was asking me to change my thoughts.
These releases and transfer process started from May 1st.They were ready to release by month end although date wasn’t confirmed. I started talking to RMG telling that I want transfer telling her that I have often fallen sick over here in Hyderabad. She immediately spoke telling that it is not possible.All of my friends suggested you keep going and asking.They suggested me to speak to her in a polite manner so that out of her compassion she might give a positive response. And there I went the second time….
She replied again the second time ‘U r not eligible for transfer’ and immediately I came out not asking anything more. I just prayed to God that only if it is useful I should get a medical certificate for chicken pox and typhoid and I tried for it. But I didn’t get that too. It just struck in my mind why should I beg a human when God is there to hear to all my pleas. So I just kept asking God to give me transfer. As mentioned earlier I couldn’t give it to Lord’s will in this matter. I asked God to help me to pray to give to His will. Our great God who could change our heart and mind did that too for me. From next day I prayed Lord if it is your will give me transfer.
Meanwhile I just kept on checking in TCS portal (Just Ask where anybody can ask anything) whether there were any replies for people looking for transfer just like me. Not much was there. I just asked a question in tat portal whether anybody is ready to swap. A person replied to my question telling that his manager has accepted for swapping and that He just asked me to ask my RMG.Raghu was 8 yrs exp yet he asked me to try. My RMG replied telling that u r not eligible for transfer and that is the only reason that my transfer is not approved and that headcount does not matter. I replied to Raghu the same and he being a senior person I just asked him whether he can help me from his side. He immediately forwarded my resume to his manager.I got an interview call from them but it went very badly as I wasn’t prepared much. So I thought tats it..I should try some other proj. Interviewer had great fun in interviewing me with my childly answers. Raghu also asked me whether I had done my certification. So bad it was. But by God’s eternal grace I was told that I was considered for the project. Still a word ‘YES’ needs to come from my RMG’s mouth. I just prayed and asked her. She replied that I can go ahead and report in Chennai. Glory be to God. Moreover although my release date was May 30th they postponed it to Jun 9th and then to Jun 15th. Otherwise once I am released RMG would have allocated me to some project immediately and release would have been a problem again. Glory be to God that in His time all things work perfectly.
My superiors couldn’t help. My friends couldn’t help. But God helped me through someone whom I didn’t know. Glory be to God who alone can do all things wonderfully. None of my friends got transfer before 2 yrs without valid reason or without continuous asking.
I cannot end without telling how God encouraged me each day to speak to my RMG(bcoz I used to be so frightened to hear harsh words) through my friend Daphne. It was only those days that I received Bible verses in SMS from her. Verses mentioning favor from God and men was so comforting as that was what I wanted in life. God is amazing. One Living God who speaks to us.
