Good Friday is Great or What?

One of my friends recently asked me what is so great about the Good Friday. I was stumped and dumbstruck, but later i was able to tell this to him. Take a rope and tie around your hands. Then try to work. Try to do the things that you eve enjoy doing. You would find your self crippled to do the task. Like in the picture, we are stuck, hands tied, incapable of our own escape. Stuck in the rut. But imagine if on a day some one who you donot know comes and removes the ropes, and sets you free. Wont that day be good! Will you not celebrate this day? Yes you would, you would fill your self with everything you like. This is what was done 2000+ years ago on a day, take friday for instance, and won't you celebrate this day for ever if you were tied hands and legs and about to be drowned in a pool filled with crocks. This is good Friday people. A celebration, a great party, a time to think how good God is and how great is the life he gave to you and me. This is salvation and redemption...

Drifting and taking steps

Photographer Life is not always a smooth ride and i know that anyone above one years old would agree with me. you have the bruises on your knees at one year and the bruises on your heart when you are sixteen all because you moved so fast. You know what i mean... but then we stop to move at all! You are familiar of the saying curiosity killed the cat, i disagree, i say the hot water killed it, and the cat was stupid. Once we been hurt, like the saying, once bitten, twice shy, we kill our dreams and fail to move as if we have developed a great surface tension not to move at all. This , people is where we fail. We fail to succeed in life. We tend to go with the flow. This my loved ones is called Drifting For those who play NASCAR and know what a drift is, this is not the drift im talking about....those who don't know look at the tree floating in the picture. Some may call it relaxed life, some may differ. But over here i am with the latter. Drift wood only gets spoiled. ...

Spiderman

Remember the words of uncle ben when he died?..... "With Great Power Comes Great Resposibility" We just love the power, the power to express, the power to control, the power to change, to power to distroy.... etc, how callous of us to forget  the next part of the saying, " Greater Responsibility!" We are so careful that we do everything and look for more power to do more, hbut very carelessly forget the fact that i still have all the other resposibilities that i had before. For example, lets think of a child of five years, he is resposible enough not to pee in his pants, and when he grows older to six, he is resposible not to hurt his sibiling, but does this mean he can start to pee in his pants? Then why do we assume that our gains means to relax and forget about life of where we came out from? Being Responsible: Every one knows that they can be responsible.To some it means "i can rule the world!". Yes, we do understand that you have been pushed in...

Done!

Finished uploading all the songs, installing open suse linux  ( but no mp3/ mp4 audio or video, must suffer for dowloading a lot of non free stuff :( ) and stealing pictures from other blogs. The latest blog is five or six songs below... fish it oh you fishers of men!! :) ...till next time Su!

That you love me

Everyday the morning sun tells me Every night the stars just keep whispering I never thought it was so real But now I do, cause I feel so secure Not me, not anyone else Had tried to take the first step for me It was You who rend the blue skies Scooped me up and told me that you loved me You are the most highest You are the most faithful friend I have You have pulled me from the deepest And cleansed me and kissed me with your love Not me, not anyone else Had tried to take the first step for me It was You who rend the blue skies Scooped me up and told me that you loved me That you loved me God, That you loved me That you cared for me That you looked at me That you loved me That you love me now About this song: Psalms 19 (The Message) God's glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon. Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening. Their words aren't heard,their voices aren't recorded,But their silence fills ...

Some say

I've been searching for a way I've been looking for redemption I've been lost, but now am found Some say he was a Jew Some say he looked all white Some say he lived in Africa But I only care cause ; he looked at me I'm forgiven, cause you were forsaken I'm pardoned, cause you were condemned How much more could I resist not falling I love with you How much longer could I keep my silence This song is like a stub. It goes repeating a lot of times. I find the above verse similar to “You alone are sunshine....I can't keep falling in love with you”,didn’t intent to but here it is.

I need your touch

  There have been times I cried There have been moments I broke down There was always some one to hold me I wish I had him with me now Take my hands and Lord lead me Take my life and Lord cleanse me Take away all the burden I carry Draw me closer to your presence Deep within me I long to hear your voice Now I need your touch today And with all my heart I still keep praying I need your touch I need your love I want to hear your voice again You are my love You are my refuge You are my fortress You are my hope and need You are my Seeker You are my brother You are my father You are my king Deep within me I long to hear your voice Now I need your touch today And with all my heart I still keep praying I need your touch I need your love I want to hear your voice again

Hey Love

Sophie Engel Photography  Hey love I’ve got a song for you Stored deep in me and you When I made you in my palms I loved to see your laughs You are my angel You are my sweetheart I would not let even the angels look at you You are my beautiful babe You are my love You are really what I want you to be Hey love, wake up beautiful Look out, look at the beautiful skies Feel the soft breeze on your feet That I'm blowing on to you About this song: Well this is a very sweet song to me. It tells of a father pampering his child. We often fail to see that we are better people, more beautiful and like the Psalmist said “fearfully and wonderfully” made. So ain't you really worth the life? Yes, this is a Dad daughter song. Its how God sang to me or you know how i felt his love. realize that you are one in 20 billion people since creation

My God, Father let me sing, You are all that i desire, In your arms i am secure, Let me bring you my praise. O' this love, That you choose to hear my voice, O' this love, That you choose me first in love, I am so secure in your arms of this -LOVE.

Time earned back

i had a good weekend, it was the best I've had since the cricket finals when i was with another friend of mine.This weekend was both retrospection, introspection and extrospection...a lot of inspection. i am here sitting at my computer again after vowing not to use my cell phone to go online again, yet online from a cell phone, thinking about the week. it was not as profitable as i wanted it to be. But in the end, i did learn a lot. it was good. You know like some times God can change an entire messy week holiday i spend goofing around, into a great one when he draws a line under the line like in a maths problem , you sum it up be zero and God adds another lets say "grace" marks and pushes you across the fence-- this is how i feel. i have passed a horrible test . I am now ready for more. I had spend some time with a wonderful family today and some guys and girls at a club. i felt my week had the real twist that i looked for till then happened there . Shame, i had bee...

my multi colored shoes

To understand this blog, you should read the last one. It speaks about multi colors. also note this post is about shoes and not colors. i really didnot want to buy this shoe when i saw it first on the aisle and i Life,  ts not from the 99% discount aisle.this is a pic of the shoe after i washed it and it looks kinda clean. They fyi are converse stained paint canvas for uni-sex.  so that means no silly questions! My friend asked me once if it were the shoes that got me all active and energised when ever i was down, while acting out sad subin looking down - sees his shoes - sad subin becomes happy subin. well , i cannot disagree to it totally especially after she told that, it sometimes refresh my mood. but the more simple truth is that i see that my life have had several downs and a balanced number of ups and in the downs i learned that there is some body who has stretched his arms to lift me. its like the Jaci Velasquez song " every time i fall ... " you gotta l...

If an order exsits

several sundays ago , at ashraya , the church i am a part of, i was incharge of serving coffee, I wanted to reorder the cups and ended up into such a design. what have i gained out of it ..... i learned to stack cups in an angle and get my self distracted during Pastor's message for some time till i realised that i must get back to the "thing" the Pastor was saying. i still don't remember the message. how ever today i was planing to bring talk about the way we are. We may not be the clean freak in the church or the community or at the office, but some times we tend to organise things into stacks and lists and bullet points and so on and so forth. things gets easier that way. i can always find my watch in the box labelled time or box labelled stuff on my table or box labelled odds or... i dont know, most probably under my pillow but some of you may know exactly where to find the post-it note that you left two nights ago. But the concern is not this, its that some...

Ice cold

 I took up ice skating for the fun of it, and yes it does help me reduce my weight. i still look much like a fat penguin and cannot skate much except push my self along., but that is not the point here. The point is that my leg splits into two halves when i try to skate.This hurts as i try to move left and right on the synthetic ice. The point is that every action that we do may have an reason though not the same as we had planned, but still have some purpose in God's hands. I wonder if heaven is ice cold? I loved the entire thing as i fell and fell again. I didnot hurt my self, but i was able to overcome some inhibitions that i had, like what if people see me and make fun of me. after all, i am not 10 years old, i am a big fat guy who falls to the ice over and over. I think this is where Child like faith comes in, i saw today a kid not more than 8 years old, may be 7ish, fall once and later skate better than me, and it was also his second time on the ice. Child like faith is that ...

Northward

 Finally, a week's leave from work. i have a lot to do and "the-hardly-anytime" complaint should be put to an end. i plan to reorganize my self and  my commitments. Man I've been looking for this since a long time. i may go to kerala soon, but i wanted to set some things right in chennai and i thought that this move is good. Thanks to my team manager who gave me the leave and time to go this. Dev, thanks if you are reading this. Besides i think "to ancient  of days " seems a pretty long lane for a small blog... no plans to change it as i need some consistency. Ive spend the first day in front of a computer most the time and happened to like Avril Lavigne's I'm with you song . Its a nice song expect that the person is ready to go out with the first person who shows kindness to her. i think this is also a good attitude, "respect those who care you" speaking about that i am planning to thank everyone in my life, including you, as you keep th...

Crushed Mint Leaves

I tried recently to make a drink sold in India by the KFC as "black mojito", and let me warn you, it has no rum, its just pepsi in virgin mojito. This experiment went rather a failure as i had no prior experience with mint leaves with the exception of finding them floating on biriyani. The thing i realized after i drank that was it not only tasted sour and had shredded leaves stuck on to my teeth that if i smiled i looked like a cow, i found out that i had upset my stomach s much that i could not eat the lunch after the "cooler". In the evening i was back at KFC and I watched the Chef de bar slowly crush the lemon rids and rings over ice, and slowly rub the mint leaves with the muddler to slowly bruise it and release those amazing oils. How strange and odd procedure, “bruise with care”.  Oxymoron: How can a bruise ever be a sign of care? Doesn't God see our future? Couldn't He have stopped me when I went that way? Why weren't angels there when I was ...

No chains

  ACTS 12 : 7 - 10 : Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists. 8 Then the angel said to him, "Put on your clothes and sandals." And Peter did so. "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me," the angel told him. 9 Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision. 10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him. So this blog is not about all broken chains... its about how God was too good to me and helped me through various situations.. one being Green Card or Entry... as for many of you you know what a green card is... an entry / reside...

Changes

This is not a new message or a new vibrant thing, this is just a modification and a summing up of how i edited by blog today. , i am pleased at the work and i think its cool, the next part is to introduce some of the aspects that i would be covering up in the next blogs and some things that i want to say. i really dont know who you are, or what made to think its worth reading this blog, or not and you are just about to click on the red " X " of this page or..... well if you are still here, let me introduce you to ashraya , the church i go to in chennai . At ashraya, i been having a great time and if i don't retrospect at the change it has made to me, i would be hiding a main factor of my life, so i decided to go ahead with some things that i like and some topics i wanted to talk about. besides that the other blog page i have, is to be merged with this and so this means you would have read some really old stuff too. ...till next time Su!
