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....

Tawusi Melek: The Peacock Angel

The Last Girl (2017) by a Yezidi survivor, Nadia Murad, is filled with the bone-chilling sort of evil that the ISIS is synonymous with. Nadia poignantly captures the plight of her Yazidi village, Kocho, as the threat of ISIS looms large in the distance before becoming a reality. As with the Holocaust, no one really anticipates the amount or intensity of evil that could reside in the indoctrinated hearts of men. Otherwise, nobody would willingly stay back in their towns or villages waiting for the genocide of their race. One of Nadia’s brother’s, Hezni, did try to go Germany, by crossing the northern Iraqi border on foot into Turkey, from where they (the brother and a few others) made their way to Istanbul, then paid a smuggler to take them into Greece. But they were discovered and had to spend a horrible time in prison. So, the fact is people did try to leave, but like Nadia explains, it isn’t easy to leave the only place one has ever known. I still think that being forced to

A tribute to the crazy bunch....

Here are a few picutres that won't find a place in the wedding album... but they were equally (some of them, even more) memorable. Everybody loves sunoj.... I was so happy to see them all...... (first time they were coming to my new place) Sunoj again.... hanging out with this guy is like shopping, ice cream, chocolates... etc. You can't get enough of them. The crazy cousins gave us a very interesting gift... this gift will be with us for six months then it will start its cycle of educating the owners. Though I doubt my cousins need much education in that department. It was fun opening the book and Jardin being the smart guy wanted somethin read from page 69. It was so cute the way Sunoj quickly picked up "The Magic Faraway Tree Series" from the corner and gave me to hold up when Robert uncle walked into the room (turns out he was the one who bought the book). I still remember Robert uncle laughing his head off.... good times. This wa
