Unanswered Prayer 2: It is well with my soul!

It has already been a decade ago when I first experienced this heavy blow to my life.  Since then epileptic or seizure related problem has been, alomost consistently, troubling my life.  It caused, undeniably,  huge effect in my professional life as well as home front. The regular visits to doctor and the subsequent scannings, be it CT-Scan

Being specific: the new norm

It was boring and time-wasting, reading a subject, which is not so interesting but important.  For children, everything needs to be told and get done in those few minutes before they get carried away. ‘Beating around the bush’, in other words, is expressing matters logically. However, being logical to illogical person did not make sense

Counting Depreciation Values: For Appreciation

When you are buying or selling used assets, calculation of depreciation values for that particular asset is vital.  Let me put it this way, to get the best values out your used assets, depreciation needs to be calculated. During my time in the Banking Sector, I’d witnessed some automobile companies setting up camps in the vicinity

The Village Tree

It can be noisy and annoying, for some, when children are playing.  Noisy sounds of children, chattering and playing, can be heard from far distances.  They did not seem to have enough time before darkness completely takes over daylight.  To them, it seems like the last day on earth.  Relieved from their daily routine, they

All Alone: Desolation

While scanning through my old journals, I found this piece – a kind of short poem.  It was written in those times when I really feel desolate.  And, I know, I am not a good writer. A decade went by, when must have written this small piece.  My joy and happiness are short-lived.  My health

What do you want to say to God?

“Papa, I forget my prayer lines!” exclaimed my son.  The feeling of little disappointment can be sense from his voice.  And I rushed to his rescue, immediately. A child needs to be taught how to pray.  I teach my children few prayer lines, which I thought, would instill the practice, and make it easier for them beginners. 

Give me Rest!

At a very young age, we started working in the family paddy field.   We grow rice to meet our essential need for food grains.  It was not meant for commercial purpose.

I’d just graduated from High School.  It was time to move into universities.  My friends and peers are busy juggling their university choices.   For me, it doesn’t seem to happen as soon as I wanted. There was no money in our family’s balance sheet for entering a prestigious university.  Since Daddy involved us in maintaining the

Birthday Thought

I’m in my thirties.  I have a good palate but I’m not very fond of creamy cakes for some reasons.  I’m not that ‘old’ to write my thoughts about life.  But there are certain things I’d been through, which make me write this piece.  By the way, today’s my birthday! From my near death experience

She is my Mother!

A thousand miles away from home, I am blessed to start a small family.  It wasn’t easy.  When things did not fall as planned, there’s someone to whom I can always poured out my heart. Being a grown up isn’t easy either.  We all need someone to cry on.  She did not interrupt me while
