All about Santa Claus
Father ChristmasThe figure of Father Christmas (Santa Claus) is based on the patron saint of children, Saint Nicholas (270-310AD), who became one of the youngest bishops ever at age 17. At age 30 he became the Bishop of Myra, a port town on the Mediterranean Sea, that is part of modern-day Turkey. He hailed from a rich home and became well known fo... more...

Goodbye sweet....
Dear Nanamma*,You should have waited. I was planning to bring you 70% chocolate, which would have melted in your mouth. Heaven may have very many things, but do they have 70% chocolate which taste like sin? I doubt it.Instead, you just decided that its time for you to go, and off you went. You didn"t keep your word - you did not wait around to pet ...  more...

Asleep on the Road
Ironically this post is under the 'Life' category...this is anything but life.I normally say my prayers early morning in transit to work. On my way, last morning, I saw a man, lying dead on the dusty median. He was stiff, still, as only a dead person can be. He had been beaten to death, sometime between the day before and last morning. My heart utt...  more...

Why God allows pain
 This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen... A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barb...  more...

Why miracles are possible
Are miracles possible in an age of science? A host of bestselling atheist books, all sneer at the notion of miracles. One Dawkins “something”, for instance, wrote that miracles are "flatly contradictory not just to the facts of science but also to the spirit of science." Reasonable people in his view "have to renounce miracles." Some people are so ...  more...

Jab We Met
Jab We Met Never in my entire life had I felt such a strong urge to get away by myself somewhere, anywhere, far from the daily grind. I realized that I badly needed a break if I were to be able to function normally without the bitterness and the grouses. Something else that had been brewing up for a while, suddenly failed to materialize, and I felt...  more...

Cordon-Bleu
I realized suddenly how inept I was in the cookery department. My mom opened my eyes to this fact when she finally rebelled after tasting insipid dal chawal for a week. She relented after I promised her that I would try and master the culinary skills. Eureka! I cried the very next morning when I scanned the TV programmes and came across a cookery s...  more...
