2011
Well,i wanted to write down my memories of the past year,2010.
I must say it was a successful year in career and a improved spiritual life but my personal life... got no comments.
My personal life and spiritual life intersects.There is no ME without JESUS.
If i miss him,i am missing my life.
On that front, i grew closer to him,prayed more and better than last year,
bible reading was nill but now i read but miss now and then.
And very happy that there was no sinning knowingly.
That makes me even more closer to him,nothing to block me,no guilty feeling.
Well,well,well 2010 was a remarkable year in my whole life.
I didnt miss sunday classes.Absolutely no sickness,no cold even.
that's the biggest miracle!!! because in my entire life span of 28 years each year
i had at least 1 sickness and the maximum was the year 2002 when i was sick for 10 MONTHS.
Its really surprising that the sickness has become history,no more in me.
I thank God Almighty who has been very merciful on me.
Job was fantastic. I attended the MISSION 10x workshop in June held at Jerusalem,my college.It was nice being there in my old college,sitting in the same class room where i used to sit in my 3rd year. Meeting Sheela mam who was instrumental in getting me a job at Tagore. Met Vanila who grew fond in just 2 days.
The greater part was riding Jerusalem from my home.Just 8 mins travel.I was flooded with memories watching the road i was to travel 6 years ago.I had a hard feeling too,because 6 years ago that road was a less used one but now it has got a hospital,CTS company,Toyota showroom,and a over brigde.
Everything changes. Then why the hell ther is no change in my life?
Still Searching an answer.
Jan nothing remarkable happened.
Feb- i was promoted as Senior Assistant Professor.only 6 months ago i
was AP.My salary increased within 6 months.
I understood that God does nt shower,he pours!!!
Mar-had a students retreat organized at URYM.happy that i was a part of it.
Apr-nothing
May-went to yellagiri to attend urym camp.it was a life changing experience.
it was there were my relationship was renewed and till now continuing .
Thank God i didnt miss it.
June - 7th left to kodaikanal.words can never potray the happiness i had.
dont know why i was happy,but i was happy.
oh my God,such a beautiful place,never seen in my life before.
i even wanted to buy a plot and stay there forever.
Met Solomon,Moses and Sindhya.
they were my realtives but saw them for the first time.Baskar mama's family and we went on a trip.
THOSE WERE THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE!
After coming back My father fell down and broke his leg.

Life is beauiful!
At this moment it looks the most beautiful.
At times I think life is so tough. Sometimes its boring and what not.
But the beauty of life lies in the surprise that’s packed in every moment.
We unknowingly nod our head to something, say a yes to something and that leads to a series of events which ultimately end up so wonderful and beautiful. It doesn’t end up; rather place in us a refreshing memory.
Today its 2nd of July 2010. The last day of 5 day faculty program conducted by Wipro at Jerusalem college.
Five at Jerusalem college was itself pleasant because it’s the place where I did my B.Tech. It was like going back to my home town or something like going back those years itself!
Yes, we had the training program in the same room where I had my 7th sem. Lot of memories flashed while walking up the stairs, while going and coming.
Four years. Four years at Jerusalem was like a dream. Words cannot explain the emotional turmoil I had those years .I had a bad beginning but the end was something I could never imagine. Even now I seems like a dream to me, how bad I was at Engg.studies, how I hated Graphics, how I struggled in the ECE lab, how I used to fail miserably, how much I wanted to end up my life, how much I hated life, how fearful I was about life, what hopelessness I had on life and on myself. But, everything had a time.
As they say all good things come to end ,so too bad things.
They all came to an end for me too.
I never knew I would join as a staff in Tagore and again come back to my alma mater as a faculty!
Now I remember the verse,”All things happen for good for those that love God”. Its not me who loved God, but He first loved me.
And also this verse that ,what God has prepared for us, no eyes has ever seen, no ears have ever heard nor any mind conceived…
Yes, that’s so true…
I never imagined or believed that I would ever be a single paisa worth. Today, God has given me job and the talent and gifts to do it well, He has given me a masters degree, a promotion that too double promotion in a span of 6 months!!!
When I attended the first day ,the trainer told me that Iam a good speaker. In my mind I was thinking,”who, Me?” I thought of the days at college where I was miserable, I never spoke to anyone and none of my friends I have would believe if they would see me now.
The trainer told my gestures and hand movement were considerable good and one area where I need improvement is my energy level. I think I can do that now.
And another unforgettable event is the friendship that bloomed between me and Vanila mam there. We were together in many groups. And finally when we moved to our streams, she said she didn’t like there and she missed me. And I too miss her now.
When my HoD informed me about this program I said yes,and that yes has taken me back to my good old days. Every moment was a surprise indeed,and I have come back with memories that I could cherish for years.
Life is so beautiful!

HOME ALONE!!!
Hurray! At last Iam home alone!
My parents left to attend a wedding. Iam left at home with my sister. What a thrilling experience! This is the moment that I’ve been longing for sooo long. Frankly speaking, I don’t have a bit of missing anyone(my parents).My mother left on Thursday and my father on Saturday and here iam left all alone.
This is freedom!
I woke up on Sunday as usual to get ready to church. I first thing I did was to make a cup of tea. I love it as soon as I brush my teeth. We decided to buy our lunch instead of preparing it. It was a quite Sunday afternoon without any noise. I had great afternoon nap then watched a dance program on t.v which iam forbidden to watch when my parents are around. I made sure that iam watching that at least when they are gone. The rest of the evening was spent talking with sis and late night browsing on the internet,coz Monday is my off.
Now, what’s wrong in this ‘My way of living life’? I left home at 8 a.m with a cup of tea and came back at 1P.M. I decided to sit back and take rest so I got our lunch. its an offence for my parents, they say u got to cook ur lunch.o.k ,then go ahead. But they complain that I don’t HELP THEM. I spent extra time at church, I come late. Then where is the time to help?
Then Sunday afternoon nap has to be strictly below 2 hrs! This is my father’s condition.
Come on man, on the weekdays I hardly get to sleep for 4 or 5 hrs, then what’s wrong in me sleeping on Sundays? Then I should strictly not watch any kind of movie that has a hero and a heroine in it. Its a sin.O.K I accept that, I’ve been all these years. Then I decide to do something on the net or love to stay awake and read a novel or something, but iam not allowed to do that.Coz,I have to get up early ,help out mom in the kitchen and drop her in the bus stand.
Monday. When the whole world around me buzzing hastily ,I stretch out lazily, wash my clothes then wash myself. I love spending much time in the bathroom, cutting my nails, applying face pack coz its my off. But I would be frequently enquired through landline what iam upto. There would be series of do’s and don’ts.
Evening I have to give a detailed report of what I did the whole day. often I would be confronted with a schedule of the followings things that I have to do on Mondays: clean the cobwebs, go to the bank, service the scooter etc., when I would prefer to stay at home.
How much I hope to live MY LIFE on my own ways. I know what to do and what not to.

web 2.0
i have been attending the qip program from 18th of this month,two days past and iam excited to share the information that i have received.
The internet,basically started as a group of computers connected together for the purpose of sharing files. it was widely used by the academicians and by the research scientists. Now,we use the internet to find out the best parlour in town,latest bollywood trailers and who knows tomorrow our 4 yr child would use the internet to learn the basics of keyboard!!! And those days are not far off.
What started for a part of life has become a lifestyle.
The internet grew slowly to connect web pages which was previously used only for sending files.
this idea was put forth by Tim O'Reilly,the father of internet,who suggested why cant the web pages be linked by using the common protocol ,HTTP.
Sending and receiving mails,downloading files,browing,searching were the normal activities before 8 to 9 years back. Slowly we moved into an era of uploading audio/video files,editing web contents,extending our space on the web by rating web sites,commenting the photos of our friends posted at orkut,blogging etc.
we just dont read contents but we write contents,upload contents.
this is web collaboration. web 2.0 generation. where in we integrate all the technologies available to receive and to give information.
knowledge is not memorizing all the historic events or learning new technologies but knowing where the solution lies,where the solution is available!!This is knowledge..
I would be writing more on knowledge mining, web technology,web collaboration..as soon as possible.All i need is time.
