Discovering Nemo - Finding yourself - Pt. 1

Over the last 2 months, the Gud Ole' Man has been taking me through a journey of introspection - one that has not been the most comfortable, in that it is difficult the kind of truth's that surface and the kind of response's that should be aptly given. Also it is not the easiest thing in the world to be defaced before yourself each day, every moment. But during this process, He's also been inspiring...

An ode to the most chaotic airport in India

When one is in the best of spirits, a sojourn through Kolkata airport can be amusing; not to mention while you are tired, it can be a harrowing experience. Check out this video for instance: As you can see, there are trolley's strewn all over, queues are never ending and booooooooooooooooy they are...

His ways are different...

The Gud Ole' Man has the knack of showing you afresh that He is in charge just when you start to question what path you should be taking / when you are confused about the right course of action. Christi and me experienced the same yesterday. Like most couple's our age, we are beginning to want to secure our family's and especially our child's future. So we had applied for a home loan to pick up a...

A journey long...

This journey is definitely going to be a long one... You will keep seeing posts from it for a while. So where does your solace lie? When you are down and out and want help... where do you find solace? Friends? Family? Mentor? God? I'm trying to map what various people would do? Select your answer below and remember to be truthful - answer what you do mostly not what you wished you were doing. Where...

Who am i?

He seems to be taking me on a journey of self introspection; one which the more i travel into, the more i realize the ugly truth of who i am deep inside. It is not a pleasant sight to say the least when my image of myself is being deconstructed bit by bit. But i guess that is how the Father is dealing with me and helping me realize just who i am as opposed to whom i'm supposed to be and whom i want...

Accidents Happen?

Today afternoon as i was leisurely driving back home, sticking to one lane of the road only; i reached a crossroad and was on the left side of a truck. When the traffic in front of us cleared, he started moving straight ahead and i therefore continued moving straight beside him. Then all of a sudden without warning, he made a sharp left turn and banged into my car. I stopped the vehicle and tried...

Time to move on

Its been for a while now that Christi and me have been feeling that my time in Joyce Meyer Ministries is coming to an end. During this time, our only prayer was that He would open no other doors for us before that time came; and that when the time came to move, He would open the right door and only one door for us to move forward with. This was realized a fortnight ago when He opened the way for...

Waiting in Anticipation...

How beautiful the earth is still, To thee - how full of happiness! How little fraught with real ill, Or unreal phantoms of distress! How spring can bring thee glory, yet, And summer win thee to forget December's sullen time! Why dost thou hold the treasure fast, Of youth's delight, when youth is past, And thou art near thy prime? When those who were thy own compeers, Equals in fortune and...

Don't Quit!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but do not quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he...

Body BREAKDOWN!

After over 6 months now, my body completely broke down yesterday. I've been as weak as i was post my surgery in 2006. No energy to sit up (forget standing up and walking around), even chewing food makes me feel tired (not kidding here). And therefore as i've spent the last 2 days in bed, it became abundantly clear (all over again) what a blessing health is; which we tend to take so much for granted. When...

What i'm holding onto dearly...

I thought that I was all alone, broken and afraid, but you were there with me, you were there with me. And I didn't even know I had lost my way, but you were there with me, yes, you were there with me. Tell you opened up my eyes I never knew, that I couldn't ever make it without you. As I travel on the road, you have led me down, you are here with me, yes, you are here with me. And I have need...

Getting back to the front!

Enjoyed a nice 10 day holiday. Did nothing except laze around, play around, eat around (a whole lot) and spent loads of time with the family. But the worst part of getting back from a holiday is that you have to start work! LOL :-D Still reeling from the effects of the holiday, i've been struggling to get back to work since morning - and yeah, there is a load of work to be done! But the highlight...

We are His children...

I spent much of my time the last 2 days just looking at my son and all the antics he played through the day. This is a blessing for me as i usually don't get too much time (not as much as i want atleast) to play with him during a regular working week; i usually leave in the morning when he is still asleep and get back in the evening when he is sleepy. As i spent time with him over the last 2 days,...

Summer Vacation

A long awaited vacation is underway starting off today. We might not be able to go out for a holiday, but just want to make sure that we spend time together as a family in and around Hyderabad (probably with outings to the outskirts). But more than anything else, i want to spend this time with leisurely hours of prayer and getting back to where He wants me to be - deep in His presence. One very pertinent...

Will you still praise Me???

I spent the entire weekend in office shifting our Server and Networking Infrastructure to another room. During the course of this time (weekend), things were nothing short of crazy and i was just short of despair as nothing fell into place. You touch one thing and the other would stop working; you do everything right, still things do not work. It was Sunday evening and i had to ensure that everything...

Long Silence

Its been 7 months since i put up my last post; and i myself having asking the question why! Its been an eventful 7 months. My wife and me were blessed with a l'il bundle of joy in December '09 and since then life has not been the same. To top it all, the Gud Ole' Man up there has been teaching me things in the silent; lessons that i have to experience to learn and realizations that He gives me of...
