A Better Resurrection

For my friend Tluangi-to remind you of the hope we have in Jesus-Always.Love you much.
A BETTER RESURRECTION
I have no wit, no words, no tears;
My heart within me like a stone
Is numb'd too much for hopes or fears;
Look right, look left, I dwell alone;
I lift mine eyes, but dimm'd with grief
No everlasting hills I see;
My life is in the falling leaf:
O Jesus, quicken me.
My life is like a faded leaf,
My harvest dwindled to a husk:
Truly my life is void and brief
And tedious in the barren dusk;
My life is like a frozen thing,
No bud nor greenness can I see:
Yet rise it shall--the sap of Spring;
O Jesus, rise in me.
My life is like a broken bowl,
A broken bowl that cannot hold
One drop of water for my soul
Or cordial in the searching cold;
Cast in the fire the perish'd thing;
Melt and remould it, till it be
A royal cup for Him, my King:
O Jesus, drink of me.

Love

'Love is patient,love is kind,it does not envy,does not boast.....'

What exactly is love anyway?why do people make such a big deal out of it?why are we so scared to say the L word but so happy to hear it?Is it something that you fall in and out of?Or is it supposed to last forever?What about the other types of love..i mean...like the love between friends,family?Why do we take that for granted and then concentrate so much on the one that we thought is Love? What's the difference anyway?

I don't get it.We focus so much on something that might not last anyway and we neglect the one that's real.We call our friends when we're in need but forget them when good times come.we think of our families only when we have no one else to turn to.We make efforts to make our romantic relationship's work but we don't take time to nurture the one that we already have.I've realised one thing,i'm single,confused about being ready to mingle,but I sure am ready to take that important step of being the one to call or write to my friends when I haven't heard from them for a while,instead of just waiting to hear from them first,to call my family every once in a while just to know how they're doing...and not to lose the relationships i've treasured that time and distance can so easily steal away from me.

I've learned to take the first step.

Answered prayers....

To say that God is faithful would be stating the fact,and it just cannot describe enough how faithful he is.The overwhelming work load and being understaffed was starting to get to me,but God gave us 1 new doctor and 3 nurses to help us out for a while,and i'm really glad.And the amazing thing was that they're all from my place,which was really nice.They stay in the house opposite mine,and it really takes care of the loneliness factor.And yea,i've started taking dancing lessons from anuja,who is a nurse here, and we had our first class yesterday.I was joined by manghaki and the two of us trying to emulate anuja was really something else.It was hysterical,we just couldn't stop laughing.tempted to post the video here,but i think i'll make a fool of myself some other time.:))

Picnic at Barni(Nepal)

Picnic's are supposed to be fun,right?Maybe not always,but this one was...though it was just a few of us,and not the whole hospital,as I thought earlier.Anyway,we set off at 8 am and bought samosas,puri etc for breakfast at Balrampur,and we had that on the way,finally reached barni at around 11.On reaching,we discovered that due to some communal riots few days back,all the shops were closed.still kept my hopes up cos i've prayed about this and i'm sure God won't disappoint.we decided to look around anyway and the streets were pretty empty but I was with my boss(heh!) and they knew some people cos they're regulars..so this guys took us inside and we managed to get some stuffs,though I didn't get the blanket,which was my main purpose in coming.we walked some more,saw a half-open shop and check it out.luckily,there was this guy who was willing to sell us some blankets..finally ended up getting all the things on my list and I really thank God for that.We all managed to get some stuffs and then headed back home,lunch was on the way back,lots of varieties,lip-smackingly good food(well,for me anyway:))...So,we got home with enough time to spare for a much needed sleep...zzzz.....

About the dinner

Yea...thought i'll comment about the dinner cos I left it there last time.It was fun!tam and I blundered our way through the cake recipe mix but found out later that it was pretty accurate..and then we set the oven,like 2 hrs before dinner time so that our cake turns out as a cake and not something else:).the oven looked ancient but it worked out just fine.The chicken took a while,we mix the cornflour and coated the chicken after steaming it,then deep fried it,KFC-style.Vij did all the hard work,no!wait a min,I did a good beating up of the cake recipes.. and i'm really proud of my arm...:))..and we made some soup too,which turned out really oily,and my friends couldn't touch it,but I had quite a helping of that!And finally...voila!we ended up with a nice,decent dinner folllowed by a dance in tami's room.Tam was teaching some dance steps to vij,and I was busy taking a video of them,though I joined in some.On the whole,it was a fun night...
Lord,thank you for friends and good times.......
