A serious thought


Last month the state of Haryana saw more than 15 rape cases and the Government says that rapes in Haryana are consensual a statement given by Haryana Pardesh Congress committee (HPCC) member Dharamvir Goyat. 


Earlier, opposition leader chief Om Parkash Chautala is sincerely seeking to lower a women's marriageable age to prevent rape cases. He wants to introduce "Child Marriage". What a solution to prevent rape.... 


Suggestion to lower the marriageable age of boys and girls to bring down incidents of rape points to the utter failure of our society to protect a girl child. Instead of strengthening her protection, our leaders want to confine the girl child indoors. They say child marriages should be legalised to ‘rescue’ girls from such crimes. Is there any evidence to show that married women are not sexually assaulted or that married men do not commit the heinous crime? Why are solutions to crimes against women in the form of restrictions like ‘don’t go to school, don’t go to work,’ etc? Instead, why not teach our sons to respect girls?

Child marriage is a crime against society, especially girls.  These reckless statements given by our leaders only show the pathetic situation in which the nation is. Our politicians are not only corrupt but also irresponsible.   


Where is the nation heading??? God have mercy...... 



"Rape is a reproach on Haryana"....

FB – A new nation


I asked a friend, Hey buddy where r u? and he replied, Iám on FB man. I’ll catch you there.  You are in a lost world if your not hooked up with fb.  Some people say that they spend more time in fb than elsewhere. They don’t find you cool if you aren’t a fb man. 
Social networking has brought in a whole new change in this society. It gives a wide range of exposure all under one roof.  

To be continued soon.......

Driving – A nightmare in Chennai

It took one and a half hours to cross one kilometer at around 7 in the evening on old Washermenpet road. Such is the nightmare caused by these broken roads and the construction of the metro rail for the people. The men on their bi-cycles could not move either. I switched off my engine and so did I see many doing the same. I was lucky to take my friends that day as we had some long interesting conservation. But when I looked around, I found many interesting people. A lonely man inside his luxury Skoda car was struggling to keep awake as he was in total frustration. Then I saw a family of 4 on a motorbike struggling to give place for each other but finally as usual the mother’s love was triumph full. That was a beautiful screen to watch as I saw love and contentment overtake comfort and struggle.
Then, after a while of talking with my friends I again looked through my car window and I started to observe the people on a bus. People were cramped into that bus and I found many not even finding a place to hold anywhere. For a moment I thanked my Lord for giving me this privilege of sitting in an air-conditioned car. The people sitting were not comfortable at all. Humidity and the smoke coming out from the vehicles was chocking them as many had their face covered with a cloth. Many had their earplugs connected to their handsets enjoying their favorite tunes. Some, after a good look I realized that they were busy talking with someone.
With all these things happening around me I was able to forget my frustration and slowly the traffic moved on. But sadly it was just for a few meters before it came to a standstill and I had to start over from where I left my observations.
Roads in Chennai are virtually becoming hell for drivers as most of the roads are blocked and made into one ways. To top this all, the roads are hardly seen with the way filled with only loose stones and mud. The metro rail construction has swallowed more than half the roads in most of the places. Usually our roads would be just 70 to 80 feet wide. Now with the intrusion of the metro rail construction these roads have shrunk to about 40 to 50 feet in width and with a two way traffic lane. With the increasing population and the rapid increase of vehicles (Both four and two vehicles) in spite of the hike in fuel prices, these roads have become unpleasant for driving. It would take another five years to breathe freely on these Chennai roads.

Thirumbi Naan Paarkayil – A spirit filled musical treat

This song is sung by Brother Samuel Jabro and Sister Hema John, a prominent, spirit filled singner among the Christian population of South India. Bro Sam as he is fondly known among his friends is a dedicated Christian and a fervent prayer warrior. He is a talented musician who carries the gospel around the world with his musical talents. The song’s lyrics were penned down by his wife Sister Anusha Jabro who witnessed the darkest side of this world by undergoing the toughest situations and is a living testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ. The outcome of this beautiful consequential song is the path through which she went in life.

This song starts off by counting the richest mercies of God remembering God’s hand during our toughest situations in life. “Nadandhu vandha paadhaiyai, Thirumbi naan paarkaiyil, Iraiva neer andru illayael Naan indru illai”. The translation goes like this “As I look back on my life, Lord I realize, had you not been there then, I will not be here today.

Yes, If we stop a moment, give a break from our busy schedule and look back at our past, we will realize how wonderful and graceful our Lord was upon us. He would have protected us from the clutches of death a million times in the past years. Every breath we take and every step we take is because His love has no bounds. It is because we are the apple of His eye. He has selected us and not we. It is because He as graven us on the palm of His hands. He died that we may live and it is because He still lives and has his angels watch over us.

Life is because He was there for us on that day holding our hand firm as we treated on the rocky places not knowing our ground not even knowing to toddle properly with our weak legs. This is why He says that “My grace is sufficient for you”. Yes, His grace alone is enough for us to live in this world.

The song then goes on like this…..

Nadu kadalil naan kadhari azhudhavaelaiyil,
En Kural Kaettu ennai vandhu meeteerae,
Uyir pogum ena naan kalangiya vaelaiyil,
Um siragaalae moodinirae,

Which mean ‘When I cried out to you in the middle of the ocean, Lord you heard my voice and rescued me. When I shivered and feared for my life. Lord you covered me with your wings and protected me.

Our Lord is our pleasant help in times of trouble. The Psalmist says “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help”. The Bible is full of promises which will never fail. We stand on the unfailing promises of Jesus. Our ground is a solid rock and with Christ in our vessel we can anytime smile at the storm. He is always willing to lift us up from the clay and rescue us in times of trouble.

The last verse concludes bring in hope for the hopeless,

Edhir kaalam ennavendru theriyaadha vaelaiyil,
Pudhu paadhai neerae kaatinirae,
Kadhavugal ellaam moodiya vaelaiyil,
Suvaraiyae udaiththu vazhi amaitheerae,

The English translation for this verse is “When I did not know what the future held for me, Lord, you showed a new path to tread. When all the doors of opportunity shut on my face, Lord, you broke the wall and made a new way”.

The only hope for the Israelites was Mosses, the prophet of that age sent by God to lead them from captivity. But we, the spiritual Israelites, the bride of Christ are more blessed as we have our savior himself as our only hope in these last days. So, lets us cling on to him and walk according to His word and prepare ourselves for that glorious coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The theme of this song is love. When we look back at our past, we can see nothing but love alone. Tears roll down my cheeks as I look back at my life and then I can say just one word “LOVE”. Love is God, for God is love. What an awesome God I have. I can write a thousand pages and still say that I am at the beginning. So great this love is which is limitless.

This is a beautiful song which will turn the hearts of a million across this world towards the original and everlasting love of our maker and creator the Lord Jesus Christ....
