She comes every morning, weathering the chill, her eyes constantly searching for the best, for the one who is at full bloom.

Yesterday, she didnt pick me up. Cos I was not yet. I thanked God, my creator, He doesnt choose us so. Take a look around, isnt everyone still waiting to be complete, even miles to become perfect. But thank God, who loves us, sends the dew and the sun inspite of our lack.

I was afraid not only to be picked out forever, but also to face the one before whom she will place me. Am I ready yet ?

“This is about a modern man, one of us, he was not a scrooge, he was a kind, decent, mostly good man, generous to his family, upright in his dealings with others. But he did not believe in all that incarnation stuff at Christmas time. It just didn’t make sense to him and he was too honest to pretend otherwise. He just could not swallow the Jesus story about God coming to earth as man. I’m truly sorry to distress you, he told his wife, but I’m not going with you to church this Christmas Eve. He said he’d feel like a hypocrite. That he would much rather stay home, but that he would wait up for them. He stayed, they went. Read the rest of this entry »

As we approach Christmas, let’s not forget the reason for the season: not the angels, not the shepherds, not the wise men, not Mary and Joseph, not even the infant in the manger, but the reason why the story in Bethlehem ever happened at all:

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. Revelation 3:20 (Bible)

Some of the saddest words we can ever hear on earth are: “We don’t have room for you.”

A life without God, how would it be, like? Boundless freedom, no coercion to act in a particular way, fly where you want to, think as you want to, do as you desire to. Joy unlimited, Pleasure unrestrained. Tired of religions incessant demands, numerous false and illogical religious concoctions being thrust down our throats. We cry freedom, we want to throw it all out, to walk without anything, to walk on just pure air. The body soul and spirit seems to enjoy the fresh breath of a world without God.

Hi Priyanka,

It is nice to know that you have started the new academic year at college and things are beginning to settle down especially with the new friends, teachers and the new hostel facilities. And we are pleased to know that the new laptop that we bought you is coming handy as you can keep working on it beyond the usual college library hours.

But since you are now working on this new laptop it has also begun to show up in the number of updates that I get from your facebook account. Ever since you went to college we were so much concerned for you because you have never been away from us for such a long time. But never realised that Facebook helps us to feel so much closer to you and we can also cherish the good things happening in your life. Read the rest of this entry »

Respected President,

The whole world was suspicious about the news of Osama’s death till we officially heard it from your mouth. And why not, this man who has been eluding you for the last decade was best described as a ‘cave man’ and therefore we least expected him ‘in a compound’ at the doorstep of the Pakistani military academy. Mysterious as it might be, the operation that your brave men carried out has put an end to this criminal mastermind who had terrorised millions across the world for far too long.
