November 10th, 2010

After a break I went to play badminton in the morning, it is always a nice feeling to be back on the court. Today one of the things that got my attention was bikes, yeah they become an integral part of life. What a good bike brings with it is, 'FREEDOM'.  I guess most of us are aware of the slogan of Red Bull, "it gives you wings", I'm not sure about that but I feel a good bike definitely gives you wings and makes you feel better. I've been to St. Joseph's college in the afternoon for practicing the Play "Little Design" which we will be staging on 13th of this month.  We performed it on the 4th of this month and it turned out to be good, I wish and hope the same on 13th too. It's a wonderful experience right from the first day of practice. We had Youth Bible Study in the evening and had a good time knowing more about God. My day isn't complete without visiting the beach, I feel privileged to be part of Vizag 'The City of Destiny' as someone rightly said.

November 9th, 2010

Yesterday, I've been to several villages traveling around 180kms. When compared to urban setup rural lifestyle differs a lot - the priorities, cultures, mindsets, schedules etc.  Today, I had a great time talking and chatting with friends. In the evening went to visit Gypsies,  the underprivileged sect of the society.  Begging is the livelihood for these people.  They wander from place to place and live in unhygienic and pathetic conditions.  I should appreciate Pastor Paul Augustine for pioneering this ministry where we do our bit to help these people.  Had delicious Mysore Bonda at hotel Tycoon and went for a walk to the beach which is always a pleasure. Everyday life teaches certain things, as we live we learn many things, especially behavior and psyche of people around you.  I feel possessiveness and the desire to control other people cause a lot of problems. I also feel it's not a right thing to judge people without any proper base and truth. I'm always reminded of a beautiful quote " We are called to be Witnesses; not Judges and Lawyers". Well looking forward to tomorrow and things that unfold in their time.

Hello World

This is my first post. Sometimes it's very important for an individual to take a day off from activities and spend time in a relaxed way. Today I decided to do exactly that. It has been raining since yesterday and weather are cold and I'm stuck in my bed and system, listening to some good music. As I type, I received a phone call and I would be traveling in the afternoon. Life is such... Enough of rest? Even a half day of relaxation revives. It is still a New Day and I hope to fill it up with Love.
