At Kieth

This is the late chief minister of Tamilnadu, India, Dr. M.G. Ramachandran. He lived his life the way he portrayed in his movies. He is still adored by millions and millions of people in Tamilnadu and is considered one of the legend of all times. I am one of his fan too. His songs are full of good messages and lived his life that way... Great Man.

Please stop by and take a few minutes to see the pictures...

Look at the children....

Friends, LET US MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

"We are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start givin'..."

   - From the song "We Are The World" - USA For Africa

If only I could get an education and live like other children...

Halloween

Is Halloween approved by the Roman Catholic Church? I see many churches approving it. Does the Holy Scriptures approve this?

Mom Sweet Mom

                        I always wondered the love of mom, which, to me, is still a subject that I cherish with all my heart. She was always there to guide me and showed love and care. A mother's love is something special and so unique. Mothers, generally, are so caring and loving. I was also blessed with a wonderful mom, who, until this day, shows her relentless love and care.

                        I lucidly remember the days where she took me to the hospital, to the school, to church, to grandma's house, etc. Those tender loving hands strengthened and encouraged me all throughout my life. I could like to recount an event in my childhood days where I tried to make a ruckus with my mom about a toothache. Anyways, the plan was thwarted. I pretended to have a toothache just to take leave from school and made all the "ah ahhhh" sounds in bed. I told mom that I have a severe toothache and is hurting. She took me to the hospital that morning to the dentist. I was happy at the very thought of not going to school. After seeing the dentist who prescribed some pills (as usual the default vitamins, which is a placebo), my mom took me to a roadside four-wheeler where they sell bonda, vadai, samosa (these are some of the Indian snacks) tea etc. She got me a bonda (yes, it rhymes with Jane Fonda and Honda) and a tea. I was happy, but was short-lived. She took me directly to the school after that.   

                       Once, she also found all the tables of math from 1 to 12 on the wall, a couple of days after I said those by heart, to her. I could still see the effects of that because I count using my fingers (if it is 10 and below). If more than 20, toes come in. The coins that I stole from her purse to buy "kamburkkat
(a hard candy made of jaggery) kodal , theyen muttai (honey candy, but is filled with sugar syrup), elentha vadai etc. I was so naughty and I love the way that I am. I am naughty and nice.

                       My mother's smile always brought me joy and happiness. I could always see her innocent loving smile all the time no matter where I am. It is hard to fathom the love of a mother. I need to be with her always and forever. I consider myself blessed with such a sweet mom so loving and caring. I always thank my Creator, Jehovah, for her. Mom, my sweet mom.

Intelligent Design - Tony Alapatt Jos

We live in a beautiful planet, earth; that sustains our lives and gives all that it has to offer. The soft glow of the moon and the twinkling stars, the sun which is though millions of miles away gives us the adequate amount of heat and light, the birds that fly in the air, fish in the sea, the vast expanse of the sky, the seasons, fruits, the color and pattern of the flowers, ice-capped mountains, tall trees, etc,. It makes me wonder with awe when I think about our earth. It is so intricate to comprehend about this make-up of this world, which is, yet, so wonderfully designed.

A stroll in the countryside and listening to the chirping of the birds will roll away our pensive mood and really brings us cheer and joy. We are busy these days with the Internet and mobile phones, and we are missing out the social life with the world. Though these inventions have made the world smaller by length and breath, we are missing a significant portion of our life with this world. There are many breathtaking places that makes us think that there is an intelligent creator behind this. From what I could perceive this world, I can consciously say there is a master-worker behind this creation of earth.
