It's Christmas!

Seems like it's been ages since I wrote something here. Hmm
Ok, if you can consider something lifeless as a person, then this Christmas I have a new member in my family.
Guess who?
My first car!
Now that I'm actually gonna get married, a car would definitely help.
I was dead right scared to touch even the wheels. But thanks to God and my friends and family I have been garnering courage (not just for driving) over the past years.
Ronitta is in love with me and I feel great thinking about it.
At this point in my life, I lack nothing... except a job. I hope it would be sorted out soon.

Strangers in love

So it's been quite some time since I posted something. It's reason is quiet obvious. I felt lonely, wasted and rejected. And mind you it wasn't the first time me sulking over unrequited love.
Susan taught me few things for being a better person and I respect her for that. Maybe she was meant to only be a good friend.
Days passed into months and I am still here. Life is exciting when you don't know what's for tomorrow.
But something did happen in the mean time. Thanks to my sister, I now have a girl who loves me back. Ronitta.
It seems I was being groomed and prepared for her. Our marriage is fixed and soon we will be one in heart.
I'm still jobless though. But not worried too much because I have a good father above.
She is a nurse but currently not employed.
Till a few months back, Ronitta was a perfect stranger but today she is mine... bound to be my wife. Thank you Lord.

The Window Seat

Spell bound was I by the beauty around
Fleeting by my window as streaks of green
The trees, the grass and the leaves
It is to the Creator I say thanks
And then I see creation at its best
Her eyes sparkling with the life of youth
To me time suddenly decides to slow
Or is it I who wants to see her for a bit longer
My heart races yearning her gaze to meet mine
But then she decides to alight
And I see her no more

Phone

Got my new phone and im hearing my old phone saying not to let it go. Many times I have felt to throw the old one to the wall. But I didn't. It taught me to have patience and to trust it. And so I did. Now after almost two years, its being replaced with a better one. That's technology. Either keep in pace or moan and whine with the older gadgets in your hands. But it no way I was compelled. The new shiny piece of technology with me is Asus Zenfone 2.

It's strange that an inanimate object such as a phone can teach you something in your life.

MASCOM (Manorama School of Communication)

It's been 10 months here and boy I must agree this is unlike any other institution for learning journalism. I had actually wished to join here a year before, but I couldn't. Call it fate or a prayer answered, here am I about to graduate from MASCOM a year later.
This is not advert, but I strongly believe this place is awesome. You literally live here. The fact that you ought to publish your own "stories" every week is exciting and thrilling. Agreed, you may not find much in this sleepy town of Kottayam, but then you are taught to develop a new perspective of things around you.
Before joining I had this doubt if I journalism was my thing. I'm kinda shy and slow to speak. But now after 10 months in here, I don't regret a bit.
To survive in here, you need patience, an open heart to get criticism thrown onto your face and a you must be willing to co-operate with your fellow mate. I feel the last one will take you far more than the rest. Help those around you and be humble.
For non-natives Kerala could be a bit difficult and not knowing Malayalam would seem hard. But, you will get used to it.
So I need a pat on my shoulders for making this far. Thank you MASCOM and my colleagues for helping me to become better than what I was yesterday.

Eyes never lie

Isn't the eyes the most beautiful creation? Apart from seeing, there is a nobler cause for its existence...to cry.

Nothing can substitute for it. Without it, we might just blow up. Maybe it's like our safety valve...venting out the steam.

And I thank my creator for giving me those two shiny sparkling things :)

Ok! This is weird!

As I sat idly staring blankly at my computer screen, pondering what to do. I had this pencil sketch of Jesus holding a child pinned up next to the screen. And there, out of the blue, a cute little dragonfly appears and settles on Jesus
By the time I realized to take a pic, the cute little thing flew away. But here it is, the sketch :)

But I still don't understand the link between a dragonfly and God. Or is it me just making up a link so as to believe? I am  a man of little faith.
