About time....

I posted something new....

Gifts have started pouring in, mostly from fathers and sisters though.
Mother (Sr. Magdalene) gave me Rabindranth Tagore's 'Gitanjali' and two rosaries.

Fr. Emmanuel (one of the few fathers I really like) gave me this Holy Family Statue/lamp and its incredibly beautiful.

and Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Light" (John 12:6)...maybe that's why the father gave u a lamp so that you will remember this verse every night when you turn it on to go to sleep and in the morning when u wake up to turn it off?

gitanjali... nice name... for a book
Jude said…
and meghs the cover says "gitanjali" in english. why did you think it was in tamil? At least you could have said bengali...
Jude said…
This is a very perceptive post. We need to remember that not only is wealth quixotic and fleeting, so is life. It keeps things in perspective.

Well gitanjali only reminds me of little jhonny
!

The teacher asks Little Johnny a question: "If there are three black birds on a fence, and you shoot at one, how many will be left ?"

Johnny replies, "There wouldn't be any left."

The teacher says, "No, there would be two left."

Johnny replies, "If you shoot at one, the other two would fly away."

The teacher says, "I like your way of thinking."

Johnny asks if he could ask her a question. "If there are three ladies sitting on a park bench eating ice pops, one is biting hers, one is licking hers, and the other is sucking hers, which one is married ?"

The teacher replies, "I guess it would be the one sucking hers."

Johnny replies, "No it's the one wearing the wedding ring, but I like your way of thinking!"

Nice Ad....

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

My school teachers...

So I got to thinking bout my school days recently and it saddened me that I was starting to forget a few teachers who had shaped my life, I have already forgotten nearly half the classmates... though its not my fault. Some people just don't want to join facebook, then how can you find them in this big world. Even if I do find them, there is not much to talk beyond the 'where are you & what are you doing' phrases. But the teachers are another matter, they deserve to be remembered for moulding us. I gotta hand it to the convent school I studied in, they really knew how to select their educators... all the teachers I had shared a genuine passion for teaching and above that they had strong moral values and faith which invariably shaped our lives. To them being a good person was what mattered the most and they made sure we grasped this knowledge, it also helped that I had staunch catholic parents who cemented this view. Anyway, I just wanted to jot down stuff bout my teacher...

And nobody was named Fred....

There was a Hugo and a Rosie... but no Fred. Oh well, it's over... that is more than enough. So finally the Harry Potter series has come to an end. And I did read all the books... but somehwere between the third and the fourth book, all the success went to her (Rowling's) head and she started churning out lousy sequels. I mean the first book was really nice, stuck to important stuff... and did not ramble on unnecessarily. I liked the third book the best, cause of Sirius... I thought he was the most amazing character, he was portrayed as this handsome reckless and brave guy, rugged looking but great looking, kinda like Aragon in the movie, "Lord of the rings" or Oded Fehr in "The Mummy Series". So it was only natural that I stopped watching the Harry potter movies, after I saw who they had cast to play the role of Sirius Black, some demented looking guy. Just look at the pictures!!! Anyway, this last book was just too much... there was too much of everyt...
