Happy Easter!!


Today was the first time I was going for the Easter vigil mass. It was at 11:30 pm. We had to stand during the mass, but I dint think that was a bad idea...your last little sacrifice. Besides I had a comfortable spot where I could see the mass happening on tv.

So anyway I thought the mass was going pretty well. And the time came for the priests to bless the congregation with holy water. So as the priests came to the area where I was standing and blessed the people with holy water, I din't have even a drop of water fall on me! And I thought, 'that's it, it maybe because I din't actually feel sorry for my sins and din't do as many sacrifices, or pray as often, or never tried hard enough to be a good girl'.

And I started to panic thinking I wasn't worthy to receive the Risen Lord.
I felt so upset that the Lord ignored me ( well so I thought) and thought all was lost. You know how a little kid cries for his/her parents wen he/she is lost in a crowd? The desperate feelin he/she goes through of being lost and of not knowing what to do? Yes, tears were rolling down and I felt so sad and upset and while the intecessary prayers were goin on, I closed my eyes to pray and there it was!! THE CIRCLE of LIGHT!!

The circle of white light is the sign I have that tells me that God/Jesus is present there before me right then and there. Imagine the happiness that filled my heart!! My God, the risen Lord came running to console me and tell me "I'm with you and I will never forsake you!"

Yes truly, Jesus died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the third day, on Easter day.

May the peace and  blessings of the risen Lord be with you all!!!  Happy Easter!

The ugly duckling

I think I've always been fascinated by the ugly duckling story and somewhere deep down I was sure that people will see the swan in me some day....although I had, rather still have no clue hows its going to manifest itself. For the major part of my life it never bothered me that I was ugly. I was still better than most at a lot of things, academics, dramatics, art, singing and various other activities ( well clearly I always got the chance to showcase my efforts at all these and therefore I think I'm good at them :P ) and since I had so many talents why do I need to bother with beauty - it's only skin deep right? But I guess whatever said and done I'm still a woman and it is every woman's secret wish to be that beautiful swan someday that would find her prince charming and live a happily ever story (if ever there was one! ). Or have a guy that's absolutely adores you just 'cause you are beautiful and charming and blah blah! So when a friend of mine s...

Meeting with Mr. IIMA - part 4

" Dad's not worried, he's ok...", I said, "he was telling me you would ask a lot of questions and stuff.."   I was terribly restless by now. 'That's it I can't be bothered. I can't take it anymore!', I thought to myself....... "And he told me to discuss the future and what my plans are", I said.  Its amazing how you can just say things like that but I think that was limit of my patience. " So any more questions?", I asked him. "Questions?.."he laughed, "....this is not an interview". YES I KNOW!!! But I cant take it anymore and I'm dying to get out!!! "Okie so I've told you about my job, future, kids (imagine discussing that with a total stranger!!).....oh and cooking!!!", I said, ignoring the little voice inside me saying Sheens enough is enough, behave yourself.  "Ok if there's a table of food out here..", I said, gesturing to the table in front of us, "...I...

Meeting with Mr.IIMA - part 1

You know, I think pretty much everyone goes through this stage in their lives......the stage where you now have to think of marriage.....except in my case its being thought of for me by my folks as is custom, culture, or whatever you want to call it....I'm not against arranged marriages but I just don't think I'm ready for a marriage yet. Besides its going to happen when my time comes whether I'm ready for it or not.. so why hurry? I love my folks for making it a 'not so embarrassing' process for me.....and yet I do get annoyed when my mom says "Let's go through the matrimonial site and see if there are any nice guys!" The very post that follows is the after effect of such a discussion with my mom. Luckily for me, my parents havent pushed me to meet a lot of guys. And I've just met one guy so far till date (its been 8 months since we started looking), the one they were very keen for me to meet. Mr.IIMA (+ MTech + Btech) was a pretty decent ...
