Actions speak louder than words

Many a time, I have heard expressions like "That 4040 event is for balokole (born again Christians) I can't go." Or been asked " How come there was alcohol at your event? I thought you are saved." The responses …

Farewell Selector-Angel

Dear Julie, everything has been a blur for the past few days. One minute Patra called me to ask for your cousin's number to inform him you'd been in an accident and next thing I hear, is that you didn't make it. How? I can't imagine the pain and shock of your friends who saw …

Letter to my little one

Dear baby, I don't know if I'll ever stop calling you that. I know you just moved past toddler stage but it will be a long time before I get over all the transitions. On this day, 4 years ago, I had you.I want you to know, and always remember that it was one of …

Every teardrop is a waterfall

Behind the Scenes; The power of friendship

I took a nap on Wednesday afternoon and kept the phone in silent mode as I usually do. When I woke up, I found about 8 missed calls, 3 text messages and endless whatsapp interactions.Logged onto facebook and even more buzz in the inbox. I thought nothing of it (It is when you are away …

Crossroads

You know how even atheists shall cry out to the Lord when faced with the possibility of death or any other such terrifying moment? Well, sometimes Christians are no different. We wake up every day going on about our business,taking a taxi,driving to work, making calls, reply any mention of us on the social media; …
