Shirt Rekindling Memory

Wearing a long-sleeved shirt at our office, UPSC, today (17th November 2014) which was bought way back in 2001 while i worked at a small private school (H.E.S.) as a part of staff's uniform still fits me perfectly. This automatically draws lots of thoughts in me. It reminds me of how time flies.

The Shirt stills fitting me perfectly takes me to think as to whether i have grown physically since then. But how can i measure the mental side of growth which i might have achieved? What would be the parameters to scale my maturity? I hope I know...

It's always the nobility, kindness, patience, perseverance, forgiveness and all that wishes one had for the good of others is a positive sign of growth. I though i acquire a bit more of those of late, though much more lies for improvement.

Then, i was a single. But now I am blessed with a loving wife and two lovely angels. My grandpa seems to be happy with us. Thank God!

Reviewing Standpoints

Since last night, after having thought provoking discussions and unending debates with my brothers, I am reviewing certain standpoints I took on matters concerning our brothers and sisters out there in those faraway lands. When I look back on the tiny steps and alms (whatever small it may be) dispensed in sympathising to lessen the dire situation they faced, I never have regretted. Yet, the history that the Israelites gone through could also be played among our people. And a change in strategy might be a better option as of now. Thoughts could be more concrete as days passes by. Help me Lord, give me the discernment on how I will tread on...
