Before the time comes: The Waiting Period

“Don’t be afraid.  Jesus (Christ) will calm the storm when the time comes!” My five-year-old son consoled his baby-sister. One evening, strong tropical monsoon winds blew the neighborhood unexpectedly.  As it generally happened with our young ones, our little daughter was covered in fear.   The trees bending up and down were a rare sight for

With my little ones: In the same shade

Reflecting back on what has happened to me when I first take up almost the full job of looking after our two children; my three-year-old son and eight-month-old daughter, then. I had undergone right Amygdalohippocampectomy on December 14, 2015, and the unexpected huge repercussions that happened early in January 19, 2016 that nearly ended my

Children of God: When the Angels hold them dearly

We lived in the third floor of a building.  We used the stairs every day. There is no escalator or lift service in our block.  Only for some fitness freak people, we are their envy. For instance, walking in the lofty stairs could be risky as we have small children.  One day, as we walked

Being a Stay At-Home-Dad: As the journey goes on

Being a stay-at-home-Dad is a bigger challenge than I ever thought.  I was happy to be with them the whole time and play with them. It was a great privilege on my part to witness the growth of my children.  Every new thing they learn and taught by me gives immense pleasure on me. Teaching

Hate Sells! What is your take?

“Hate sells!” an auctioneer assured his buyer.  The buyer looks discouraged thinking he was paying more than what he wanted.  I am watching a program on television. The auctioned items were recovered from one of the Concentration Camps during the Nazi ruled Germany.  Also, there are certain number of happenings in history and present world.

Communion: At Grandpa’s Fruit Garden

In the slope of the hill, Grandpa had a fruit garden covering an entire small hill, few kilometers away from home.  Pineapple, mango, fig, jack fruit, etc. are grown in the garden. Three small huts are built in the slope.  To save time and energy, sometimes, we spent the night in those huts.   Grandpa prepared

Mannequins: Flaunting their best for shoppers’ delight

Once in a while, our family went for shopping.  In the shopping area, mannequins are a common sight.  Children love them or they are afraid of them.  They meant, at the least, something to the shoppers of different age. Mannequins are lifeless.  They have no thoughts.  But they dress according to the season. They tell

Homebound – Walk of Life

Homebound – Walk of Life

There was a rich and influential man. He was influential because he was rich. He was a good man but with shrewd workers. His workers loved him as they can take advantage of him. As far as he is concerned, he felt people loved him. His workers exploited the common people and his riches were

The smell of Living: Save the world

The air is light and gloomy.  Nature is blooming in that corner of the world.  The place is untouched by modern marvels and machinery.  In this fast-moving world, it is a privilege to be in that condition.   This place smells of ‘living’ in the serene and beautiful landscape, away from encroachment.  The earth, in

Indwelling: When God dwells in us

Indwelling: When God dwells in us

Last year, my father left us for eternity.  He was fighting a deadly sickness.  God took him home because He loved and care for him.  It was a good thing for my father, I would say. However, his death left a huge ‘vacuum’ in our family, especially to us, his kids.  Even for a very
