I’ve been looking for this girl. And I’ve been looking hard. Shruti is a speech therapist who worked with us for several years before going off to London to do a Master’s Degree in Pediatric Speech Therapy. The idea was that she would return and work with us after finishing her degree and earning enough to pay for it. And you know how hard it is to find speech therapists!

The last time I saw her was in September of 2007, when she dropped in to say hello while in town to visit her parents. After that I lost her! I let her slip away!

Every now and then I would send her an email, but I never got a response. Three days ago, I tried again, but, as usual, there was silence.

Then this morning, I woke up with a backbone made of steel.  Determination was my middle name. I sent an email to four colleagues, asking if any of them had a contact for her and I sent my prayers to the universe: Find Shrutigya.

My email went out at 9:30. At 11, Shruti walked in to my office.

Turns out her email address has changed. She’s ready to come back and work. She’s ready to start in a month.  One small problem. Her parents want her to get married.

So it’s back to the universe: Find this good woman a good man.

After coming through with a SPEECH THERAPIST, the universe replies: “Piece of Cake.”
