Could it be "sixth sense"or just "some imaginary feelings"? No, definitely not! Well, it's more like "thought transference" over "(? ) dimensions"....
It happened thirty over years ago when I was in my final year doing my final examination. My husband was then working in a company three hundred Km away. At that time, his company was handling a lift project in my campus and he had to come and attend site meeting from time to time. When I knew he had a site meeting scheduled on the same day as my last paper, I was very very happy ....! We could make plan to meet up in the campus and return home together after his meeting and my last paper. It's so wonderful!
Handphones were not in existence and we had this arrangement done via snail mail.
Everything seemed fine. However, just one week before my last paper, there was some last minute changes in our examination time table. My last paper was brought forward by five days. It was good news on one hand, being able to return home earlier after the exhausting final examination . On the other hand, what about my prior arrangement with my husband? How to inform him of the changes?
You won't believe I didn't even have his contact number as that was his new job and I didn't bother to ask for it. Snail mail would take too long to do the job. I was at at lost how to settle the problem.
What a coincidence (really hard to believe) over at my husband's company, he also received a notice from his company that his site meeting at my campus was brought forward by five days(strange??). He faced the same problem - how to cancel the earlier arrangement? How to let me know that he wouldn't be coming on the day of my last paper (not knowing my time-table was changed too)? He was equally frustrated.
In the last resort, he took out the telephone directory and from the long list of the university's telephone numbers, he simply picked a number and dialled. He was hoping a kind soul would pick up the phone and help him to pass the message to me. He told me later that he did it out of despair and didn't dare to hope for any miracle....
Three hundred Km away, I was on my way back to hostel from the library. Tired and hungry, I was about to stop at a canteen nearby for a meal. Just then the phone outside the canteen rang. Since I was the one nearest to it, I had no choice but to pick up the phone "reluctantly". ( The consequence of picking up the phone was you were responsible of delivering a message to someone who might be at another corner of the campus.)
"hello ..... " I was stunned! I couldn't believe what I heard through the handset....
It was that exact moment, that exact location, without a second dial, the FIRST CALL my husband made REACHED me! We were both shocked - couldn't believe the miracle! It must be "telepathy" for us to "reach" each other "this way"! And it was even more shocking to learn that both the events were also being brought forward to the same day to enable us to go back together!
How do you explain this? Isn't it an unbelievable "telepathic" experience?
