Happy International Women’s Day- From Mothers, Wives & Daughters to Maids, Lovers & Queens- Women, we love them all! Tribute to Women!

From Mothers, Wives & Daughters to Maids, Lovers & Queens- Women, we love them all!

"So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said,

“This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”

Genesis 2: 21-23

Tribute to Women

Women, you are strong and you are smart. You are intelligent and you are beautiful. Though you openly shed tears, you have that special inner force which gives you that extra bit of psychological edge over we men. And you are well appreciated for everything you do. You take care of your children, your home and your husband. Not only are you smart in prioritizing and performing daily home duties, but you also efficiently manage organizations, hospitals and educational institutions. You are a source of inspiration for all. You are God’s blessing for each one of us in this world. Keep going Women!

The women we know in our lives are many....

As a Son we know our Mom.

As a Grandson we know our Grandma.

As a Brother we know our Sister.

As a Nephew we know our Aunt.

As a Boy friend we know our Girlfriend.

As an Uncle we know our Niece.

As a Husband we know our Wife.

As a Dad we know our Daughter.

As a Father in Law we know our Daughter in Law.

Praise God for Another New Year! Happy 2011 Everybody! Goodbye 2010 Welcome 2011!

Goodbye 2010 Welcome 2011!

Goodbye 2010 Welcome 2011! Well, one more year has gone by. We thank God for all His Love, Mercies and Blessings. A Victorious Life in Jesus' Name! It's been a blessing for us the last one year. A major blessing was the birth of our firstborn son Danny. A new life for us too. A new life with new responsibilities.

Mumbai Reunion :)

Last year I also travelled to Mumbai for my eldest brother's wedding with his sweetheart. My Mom, Elder Bro n his family were all present. So I had a chance to spend time with most of my family members and with my Cousins and Relatives from Mumbai. It was more like a Mumbai Reunion.

Pampered, he was, and to the maximum! Very Very Cold!

In November we visited our folks in Kerala and Bangalore. It was the first time Danny's Grandparents saw him. And how glad they were! Pampered, he was, and to the maximum! We returned to Ireland by December 2010 and we just missed the huge snow by a week! We may have missed the snow but we really don't miss the frost and cold. Very Very Cold! Will be glad to see the subshine later on this year.

All the Best

We pray that this new year too will be a blessed one not just for us but each n everyone of u. We pray in Jesus' name that God's love, protection and salvation comes to each and every homes in this world. Amen. God bless u all. Happy New Year... Happy 2011!.... :)

"May the Lord make you increase, both you and your children.
May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth."
Psalm 115:14,15

"But thank you Danny, I now have my full time job...!!!" Dad's Life in the Fast Lane!!!

Praise God!!!

3 weeks have passed since Daniel was born. As proud new parents we are excitedly behind every move and sound that the little one is making. And as a proud Dad I am constantly in the kitchen cooking food ensuring that my Wife gets her daily meals on time while she is resting with our Baby.

Deciding what to cook for breakfast, lunch and dinner is easy. Cooking it is'nt so easy. Atleast it was easier when I was a Bachelor as I just had to cook once a day and that too only if I was desperately hungry. Now, chopping, grinding and boiling is done almost 3 times a day. After cooking I have to wash the dishes. Then it's time to bathe little Danny, all the more important that I don't forget to switch on the water heater hours earlier.

Later I have to do the laundry- Parents clothes separate, Baby clothes separate in baby washing powder, dark clothes separate, white clothes separate and colour clothes separate. That's why laundry also takes days to complete. Once washed, they are out out in the sun to dry. By evening I take them all back inside.

In between all this I make sure that I clean up all the mess and tidy everything in the house. Not to forget vaccuming and running up and down the stairs each nappy change time in order to get a new nappy and throw away the dirty one. As I cook, raw materials get over. So it's time now to buy groceries. Timely service of providing health drinks or boiled cumin water for my wife to drink.

While my wife requires a break, I am the sole substitute for holding our baby, helping him burp which normally takes plenty of hours and also being the perfect clown so that his loud cries will stop- a role which I am proud to play. If I am destined, then I can get a chance to check my Emails, Orkut, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts. If I am privileged then I get extra few minutes to take photos, upload them, blog, browse, make phone calls, and sit down with my legs on the stool.

After a long day's hectic schedule, I try to get some sleep in the night. Why try?- Because our baby who was born in the afternoon loves to sleep all day and mostly cry in the night. So once again we take turns in holding our baby and I once more step into my Clown Shoes. Wow! No wonder I dream of sleep, sleep and more sleep during the entire day wondering if I can get a sound sleep atleast for one night.

But thank you Danny, I now have my full time job. I may be tired, but this is something I am proud of- my full time job....! Dad's Life in the Fast Lane!!!

Again this makes me think- how much our parents have sacrificed their time, energy and money in bringing us upto this level! I may still have my arguments with my Mom, but each time I think of this, it makes me even more proud of what our parents have done for us. Thank God for blessing us with family whom we still don't know how much precious they are worth in our lives!

"Praise God, It's a Baby Boy!!!"

"Praise God, It's a Baby Boy!!!"

"May the LORD make you increase, both you and your children." Psalm 115:14

Everything went well by God's grace! We welcomed Daniel into this world last month. It really is an experience which we are getting proud of. Some say it's the first time parent excitement. But whatever it is, we are loving this first time parent excitement! Since our family and relatives are back home, it is upto us to do all the house work and look after our Baby at the same time. It may be tiring but it is also fun and we are both learning new things each day. Holding a baby was'nt so easy for me the first time but I quickly got the hang of it. I thought I was on top over my wife in that case, but she showed she was boss when it came to nappy change. Oh man, really! I tried to do it myself but it was'nt so successful. So now I am an assistant for my Wife during nappy change. Bathing the baby is of course my area. She can't beat me in that field...haha....Anyway, it is a challenge now for both of us. We are praying that we become good parents. And it won't be long before our little Baby is all grown up. So we might as well enjoy our time in bringing him up. Thank God! :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!... When our family visited us...FAMILY TIME!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!... When our family visited us...FAMILY TIME!

Safe journey from Trivandrum to Abu Dhabi, Dublin by Etihad Airways

By God’s grace my mom n eldest brother reached Ireland safely and on time. They had a safe and comfortable journey in Etihad Airways, from Trivandrum to Abu Dhabi and from Abu Dhabi to Dublin. The last week of December was the start of severe snowfall and that was one concern we had regarding the journey, but everything was sound and calm. Well, it was great to have them over here. My second bro and family could’t make it because of leave restrictions. Our friends in Bray, GDM, drove us from the Airport to their house where we had relaxed and ate some good food which they prepared for us. And they then dropped us at Blessington where our car was parked so we could return back to Baltinglass.

New Year with Mom n Eldest Bro...

So we stepped into the New Year 2010. Praise God! We took snaps standing next to the Christmas Tree and for lunch we had Chicken Biriyani, the popular and special Indian Rice and Chicken dish prepared with spices. We could not go out much because of the heavy snowfall and frost. Also, it would get real dark and even colder by 5pm. I and my bro visited Carlow once and apart from that all we could do was just drive around the town. Yes, the timing was bad but atleast they were happy to be here as we could spend some time together and they also got an opportunity to see how beautiful Ireland looks like even though it was winter time. While my mom will be with us for 2 months, my bro only had a few days leave and is back in Dubai now. Don’t think his employer will give him leave for another 6 months now. Anyway, it was a nice time and we are looking forward to meet up with everyone together once again. A Happy New Year 2010!

English Composition 1. Health and Hygiene

English Composition 1. (written during school days...)


ddddddddddddddddddHealth and Hygiene


" Only in a healthy body, there exists a healthy mind!"

Not many people, today are aware of this saying. Today, the increasing number of industries, factories, automobiles, etc:- are causing pollution which are harmful to both, the evironment and human beings. Even, our own carelessness, leads us with serious complications.

Our house is the first place we can start living a hygiene life. Eating proper and healthy food also is necessary. The clothes we wear should be washed continuously after wearing. The utensils we use should be washed after every meal. Food should be thoroughly cooked before serving to eat. Fruits should be washed before eating it. Drinking water should always be boiled before drinking.

Even the place we live must be vaccumed and tidied every day. The polluted air and smoke coming from chimneys of factories and automobiles affect our lungs. This results in medication and another damage done to our body. Smoking is another main cause that affects human bodies. The smoke inhaled from cigarettes into the lungs damages it and causes lung cancer and other complications in the body. Proper diet and daily exercise is advised to all persons who want to live a healthy and hygiene life.

SECOND COMING OF JESUS & GLOBAL WARMING- The Future!!

This is an explanation on a topic which I wrote in one of my previous blogs. Here is the previous entry which is followed by its explanation:

SECOND COMING & GLOBAL WARMING!

Jesus is coming again to take with Him first, those who died believing in Him followed by the believers who are living at the time. The 2nd coming of Jesus Christ, the reign of Anti-Christ and the Beast will take place just as it was prophesised thousands of years ago and recorded in the Bible. Famines, earthquakes, broken relationships, hatred, filth, unrighteousness, wars, climatic changes, and so on are all happening just as prophesized. The world is running around and formulating new world rules and regulations on reducing Global Warming. Go on do what you have to do for God says in the Bible ‘....let the world do what it has to do but My Word will come to pass...I will destroy the world with fire from Heaven....Those who belong to Me I will save!’. The world now knows how hot the Earth is becoming and that too at a faster pace. You may be recycling, reducing your road and air travels, using eco friendly bulbs and machines. But no matter what you do the truth is the Earth is getting hotter and hotter as it is getting ready to be heated up and be destroyed by fire very soon, because God has spoken He will destroy it with fire from Heaven and that is exactly what is gonna happen!

Global Warming and Second Coming of Jesus

I earlier wrote a few lines on how global warming will continue even stronger no matter how hard we try to stop or reduce it because it is God's word that the world will be destroyed with fire and that is exactly what is going to happen. One of my friends read the blog and he was laughing at me. He jokingly said that I declared that Global Warming will destroy the earth when Jesus returns the 2nd time. I told him that's not what I said and he's got it all mixed up. I tried to explain but as always, once someone has had their chance to mock at the Word that is shared to them, or as soon as they finish speaking their views about a believer, they don't stop to listen to its clarification. They just finish their part and say that the conversation has ended and not to speak anymore about it. Even if you try to add one word about the whole topic, they immediately say they understood (for the sake of stopping the talk) and not to add any more and waste time. And you end up getting the look from them which says "I have said all that I want on your face but now I don't want to hear any reply from your mouth. Shut up!!" Sheesh man, how much more can you can ask when you allow someone to shoot all his arrows at you expecting that in the end you will get your chance to clarify or share something, but they just walk away without even bothering to give you your chance to speak at least as a matter of courtesy.

Sin is the reason!

Anyway, that's not the point here. The fact is that no matter how much you try you cannot end the Global Warming phenomenon! It's good to try and of course we have to do what we should but how much harder you try the quicker GW (Global Warming) is spreading itself around the world. The reason is simple: It's God's word that as per His plan, the earth will be destroyed with fire.

What God made was good, but His most favourite creation Human Beings- you and me, have fallen away from Him- through Sin! He sent His Son Jesus for our redemption from sin and giving us salvation, by His sacrificial blood, but yet man has not opened their hearts to seek the Lord. Jesus was crucified and buried. But He rose again on the 3rd day and has now got full authority over Heaven and Hell. He has put Satan under His feet where Satan lies defeated. Very soon Jesus will return in the clouds to take away His faithful church and the remaining will be left on earth where they will see the reign of the Anti Christ, then the false prophet along with the Beast. And that is when the world will realise that they had been deceived all that while by the Anti Christ. But by then it would be too late for them to turn away for those who say no and refuse to join hands with the Beast, they will be tortured and persecuted. Some will finally join with the Beast, but those who refuse the beast and endure for Christ at the last moment (after seeing and witnessing, they will then remember that all what is happening was what the so-called preachers of Jesus Christ had been preaching about...) despite the pain and sufferings; they will be slayed on earth. But they too will be saved on the day of judgement because they were slain for their faith in Christ.

Armageddon

Then after few years of the Anti Christ and Beast's rule on earth, which by now is completely being ruled by Satan and his army of deceived souls and fallen heavenly bodies, Jesus will come again the third time, but now He is coming with His beloved Church and a war will take place where the Glory of the Lord will be manifested and Satan and his army will be defeated on earth. It is during this war- Armageddon, that almost the entire Earth will be destroyed as a result of the devastating war. This war will witness most of the nations, who have always opposed Christ and His followers, use their most deadly weapons of destruction which is the nuclear weapons which they have been keeping aside for a long time now.

Victory belongs to the Lord!

When the victory of Jesus and His Church has been announced, there will be rejoicing in Heaven and then God will command His Word and fire will come down from Heaven and devour the entire world. After the destruction of this world, God will command again and a new world will come from Heaven, which is called 'The New Jerusalem' as prophesised in the Bible and God's people will live in harmony amidst the glory of God.

This is why, I say that Global Warming, though a result of man's own doings, is clearly now a part of God's plan which is why He let it happen and now it is happening at a faster pace- you know what that means don't you?... Yes, the Lord's second coming is not far away, it is just around the corner. Watch and be prepared. Global Warming will not burn up the Earth. It is only heating up the Earth so that it will burst into flames at one go, when fire from Heaven is lighted onto it.

Root Step 2- Meet and own up to your Employee Family:

This is part of a series of posts I wrote in October 2008 concerning the arrival of the Global Recession...


Root Step 2- Meet and own up to your Employee Family:

Okay now you are thinking fresh and you have decided to make some changes in your firm. But before you make the next step please don’t forget the next most important asset in your company. That’s right; I’m talking about your employees. If you think that this crisis period has affected you, then please remember that it has simultaneously affected the people who are working for you as well. Why? Because it’s these people you made your company and you are here in your position today partly because of them too. You owe them the time to make a choice. If in an emergency, then of course a day’s time is all they have but if you have time to strategise for your company, then you have to give them this time too so they can also strategise about their future.

The point I’m trying to say is this: As per your new strategy, it may be imperative to stop certain positions and so the staff must be aware of this well in advance and not at the last minute. If you tell them well in advance, they may be agitated, but because they now have a couple of month’s time at their disposal, they will definitely look for a better opportunity and move out smoothly. If that happens, they will sit in their new office with a better salary and actually be grateful that you had given them the time to move on. And that shows your loyalty towards your employee family which they will never forget.

Word of mouth goes out about your loyalty, people start wondering if such caring bosses still exist in today’s mean world, they start hunting you down, they become your customers, and once your shares start shooting up, you will find your former experienced staff coming back to work for you with more dedication and commitment. What happens if you use them till the last minute and then chuck them out with little or no time left? You not only lose out on all the above mentioned jewels, but you will tend to lose much more than you can imagine. Ponder on this when you have time.

And so, arrange a meeting with the staff and explain the current market scenario and the dangerous position of the company and let them know that as per the new strategies, some of them may be asked to leave but only within 6 or 12 months and not earlier. Make them feel that they are part of the company and will be requested to adjust with the times. But let the truth out to them before it’s too late for them.

Birthday Excitement for July 4th!

I wrote this post last year on Thursday, July 3 2008...

Birthday Excitement

Today is 3 July. Tomorrow I would be 28 years old. Of course it will only happen if I live to see it happen. So I consider it God’s grace that I am alive to step into my new year. I think, by the normal worldly standards, I am supposed to be excited and anxious about tomorrow. But am I really excited? What if I am not? And if so, then what is it that is keeping me away from this so-called excitement? - Birthday Excitement…

Recurring Activity

Maybe I have already been through this process all my life and I now consider it a too normal kind of activity. Yes it happens only once a year but the truth is that I am so used to it which is why I now keep thinking as to what exactly is it about my birthday that I should be excited about? Yes, I am happy that I’m alive to see it again (thank God!), the greetings and gifts I receive are very touching and there is a special joy I feel deep down inside of which I can sense every year. But I want to find out about that excitement which I am supposed to feel. Is this excitement only for the fact that it is my ‘Birthday’ or for the fact that there is some kind of purpose in my life the reason being that I am still alive for one more year?

Complex excitement

Complicated, isn’t it?....Well, this is just what I am trying to point out- at least for myself….how complicated is it going to be for me if I want to figure out the fact behind why does this Birthday Excitement exist? Am I so important that I am supposed to be excited only because its my birthday just like everyone else in this world or should I be excited for both-the fact that its my birthday and also because I now know that there is also a purpose behind my existence in this world which is more important than the ‘Birthday’ part?

Me, My Life and My Purpose in My Life!

Whatever, I now realize that I may be important to a certain level. I have purpose in my life. The truth that I believe now is that it is not me or my Birthday alone which is so important but even the purpose behind which my life revolves around me. So these three make a team- Me, My Life and My Purpose in My Life!

Though I understand myself and my life, I still may not have fully understood my Purpose in my life. Maybe I am to get a good education, find a good job, engage in some business, make some money, find a wife and settle down somewhere. Or perhaps I am to earn some money and share some of it with those who are not able to afford a one time meal, or build shelter for the homeless, or share new clothes with those who are naked, or love and respect every human being, care whole heartedly for my parents & family who had taken care of me till I was on my feet and now require my help in turn, or I should be a good & helpful neighbor to my grouchy but lost neighbor, or I can put the trash in the appropriate recycling bins and waste lesser water thereby being an example for others to stop contributing to Global Warming.

Everything?

Or maybe my purpose is to give importance to all of these rather than only giving importance to ‘My Birthday’. Hmmm……maybe I should ask my Creator as to why would I be given a chance to celebrate my birthday and what is that special joy I feel deep down inside of me on that auspicious day. Could it be that that special joy will come out of me once I start walking in my Purpose?...God?.....

I have decided not just to ask God and wait for an answer. But I will ask while simultaneously trying to walk in my Purpose for my life. Now I'm getting excited....This is going to be something different in my life....Birthday Excitement!!!

Cornerstone Church- Joshua Generation Ministries

The church I attend is pastored by Pastor Rajesh Mathew. Holy Spirit is the Senior Pastor.
It is situated at Cochin, Kerala, India. Br. Jose Anathanam of 'Covenant People Ministry' also shares the Word sometimes.

Here are few links from YouTube:















Jesus Who?

We believe that God loves everyone so much that He gave His only Son Jesus to die on the cross so that by His sacrificial blood we are saved and brought back righteous before God. He gave us Jesus to die on the cross so that if we believe in Jesus we shall not die but have everlasting life in union with Jesus Christ (John 3:16; Bible). Jesus died and rose again n the third day. He is alive now. He gave us Holy Spirit Who is the Helper and Comforter. God’s power is manifested in us by the power of Holy Spirit through Jesus. Jesus is the Truth, Way and Life. No one can come to our Heavenly Father except through Him. (John 14:6; Bible). When you believe in Jesus, confess your sins to God and ask forgiveness, you are cleansed and washed by the precious blood of Jesus which is why you are no longer in line for judgement.

SECOND COMING & GLOBAL WARMING!

Jesus is coming again to take with Him first, those who died believing in Him followed by the believers who are living at the time. The 2nd coming of Jesus Christ, The reign of Anti-Christ and the Beast will take place just as it was prophesized thousands of years ago and recorded in the Bible. Famines, earthquakes, broken relationships, hatred, filth, unrighteousness, wars, climatic changes, and so on are all happening just as prophesized. The world is running around and formulating new world rules and regulations on reducing Global Warming. Go on do what you have to do for God says ‘....let the world do what it has to do but My Word will come to pass...I will destroy the world with fire from Heaven....Those who belong to Me I will save!’. The world now knows how hot the Earth is becoming and that too at a faster pace. You may be recycling, reducing your road and air travels, using eco friendly bulbs and machines. But no matter what you do the truth is the Earth is getting hotter and hotter as it is getting ready to be heated up and be destroyed by fire very soon, because God has spoken He will destroy it with fire from Heaven and that is exactly what is gonna happen!

THIRD COMING & HOPE

Jesus will come again the third time as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. At the Battle of Armageddon, Satan and his allies will be defeated and thrown into the Lake of fire where they will be tormented with pain from all the snake and scorpion bites and with eternal fire. The hope is Jesus for after the destruction of Earth due to the sin of mankind, and the eternal damnation of the ungodly, the New Jerusalem or the New Earth will come down from Heaven and all who are in Jesus will live together in harmony and peace surrounded by the Glory of God!

Purpose

As believers, we are appointed, anointed and commissioned to walk in purity and in love and with courage to boldly proclaim about our Living Saviour Jesus because He wants to touch each and everyone in this world no matter who they are or what their situation is.

In my church we worship in spirit and truth just as Jesus taught.

"God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24; Bible)

Do you want to hear about the FOOD FEEDBACK?

Hi,

Thank you for the offer. As requested, here is my feedback:


1. French Fries: Well, the stuff was very dark brown in color (meaning it was fried more than normal). Also the oil from it was so fresh n full that had we drained it out, we would have so much oil with us that we could have started our own fast food joint. So I think it should be called Indian Fries and not French Fries and hence I really don’t think that our guests from the UK would have enjoyed it.

2. Potato Chips: There were two types of chips- one was normal and without masala while the other one had the ‘Chilly Factor’ (Masala flavor)! The common factor among both was not the ‘Crisp Factor’ but the ‘Chill factor’ (cold and soft)! Probably it was crispy after its preparation, but by the time it got here, climate must have taken over thus transforming them to wet and soggy chips. Anyway, though I feel that the normal type tasted better in my mouth, I still don’t feel that it would taste good in their mouths.

3. Garlic Bread: I have heard of the Gingerbread Man taking over the city in comics and cartoons, but today I realized that the Garlic bread Man is the number one competition to the Gingerbread Man, because he just took over my appetite in one bite! And I don’t think that our guests from UK prefer anyone taking over their appetite. So this is also a definite ‘NO’!

4. VEGETABLE SANDWICHES: Again two types of sandwiches existed here. The Normal and the Grilled. The normal one made me feel really normal, and I don’t wanna make my guests feel normal you know- not good hospitality! But at the end of the day, the grilled sandwich was a lifesaver! It tasted okay and had good amount of cheese as well.


SUGGESTIONS:


1. Burgers are a very good option.
2. Sausages to keep them going strong.
3. Olive pickle to tickle their taste buds.
4. And fresh fruit salad (fresh implying no brown color fruit pieces!)to keep a smile on their face!



Looking forward to more food testing in future!


Thanks and regards,
Sunny

4. Pretty Folder Organization:

“Keep your table clean! Tidy your drawer! Make up your bed! Place the dishes in the right place!!!”

Do these ring a bell? Yup mine do! I had always been yelled at for not doing them. Home is where you learn the first of everything. Its true. As you grow up, you slowly start doing these (I’m talking about obedient or less obedient and not disobedient people :) ) chores because you were programmed for this purpose since your childhood. But as you mature, you realise that it is not just a responsibility but also a necessity of your life to ensure that these chores are met. Well, this post is not about chores and activities but about the way we do them. I remember my earlier days where I used to do things just for the sake of it as I was forced to do them and not because I enjoyed doing it. And that really left the entire place messed up and even if anything was done I was not at all happy inside because I knew I did something I was not interested in at all. Maybe I was watching my Ninja Turtles cartoon on TV and I was suddenly asked to go to the shop or clean up my room. I mean who wants to do all that when you’re watching your fave progs on TV? Anyway, the point is that I finally learnt something- whatever I am supposed to do, whether successful or not, I might as well do it with my whole heart! It may or may not be complete but it will look neat and tidy and the results will show the amount of effort that has been put in. I reckon if you try more sincerely from that point on, you are definitely going to make a big difference. You can achieve beauty and results in what you do.

FOLDER FOLDING ME

The work I did in my previous company required me to keep many folders wherein the content was stored. However this task of creating new folders was not to my liking. And so my desktop and documents were full of content rather than ensuring that the folders were full of it. Yes, I may have done it that way as I needed them immediately during the course of my work instead of wasting time and opening the appropriate folders. Or so I thought. What happened was that I not only saved the low priority but also the very high priority docs onto my desktop. It risked both dangers of crashing as well as jobless networking spies who had the access to destroy or play with it. Towards my exit though, I realised there’s something in folder organisation. I think everyone gets the brightest of ideas or think in the most creative way only after the resignation letter is put. Suddenly I get some extra courage to speak up, isn’t it?

FOLD ER UP

Well, today in my Media company, I happily ensure that all content are kept in the right folders. Well, at least the high priority content. While working I save the content to my desktop as I have to send them urgently and I don’t want to waste time un necessarily. But I now make sure that I transfer the high value stuff to their actual places keeping only the apprentices on my desktop. I am happy to create and maintain folders as it keeps me organized and systematic. They look neat as well. Results with beauty! :) So I have adopted this process even in my outlook mail which houses thousands of mails from every department. At any point of time I get to quickly pull out a particular mail sent by the HR or CEO on a said date, rather than hurriedly going through the entire list of mails ultimately panicking, wasting time and not finding the mail at all. I got this result because I have created folders based on various hierarchies and type of tasks. I learnt this from maintaining the usual folders in 'My Documents'. Isn’t this something unique? At work I am now organised administratively because I have organised set of folders containing the relevant contents. Now why wouldn’t this process be applicable in my house? I can tidy my room and drawers in the same manner. My files can be appropriately taken care of with all the certificates and documents and receipts I have received all these years. My personal letters and greeting cards I received before the Internet era is also compacted. I may listen to numerous CDs everyday but on weekends I can take the pain to organise them once again. This is looking neat now :). In office, my computer neatly folders the music I play while working, the photos I collect and all other drafts. What trouble would I be going through in order to keep myself organized? Just a few seconds to keep clicking on the mouse? This is neat and pretty organisation. Creativity at my fingertips!!! :)

2. The Letter World in Word:

Are you fond of writing? Do you prefer traditional writing to typing? Are you one of those who just loves to use the pen to scribble so that in the end you still end up getting that special feeling that ‘you just used the little strength in your small fingers to hold a pen and wrote something on a paper’? (Hmmm.....even as I’m writing now, I wonder how many are not privileged to feel this little joy of scribbling....thank you Lord....and help them as well...).

OPPORTUNITY YELLS

Well, writing on slates, four line note books and finally in blank College note books are always fun and keeps your handwriting level to at least a minimum satisfactory level. But what happens when you get a chance to exploit your writing skills on your computer? Not only do you get options to choose the font size, colour, and styles which exist in the whole world, but you also get to enjoy a whole range of other options as well. You can write the entire letter without any major modifications in the beginning and then after you finish you can make use of the spell checker and automatically get your errors rectified. You can auto align the entire letter into paragraphs and add headers also. Different text colours and highlighters can also be used for any important sentence. Images can also be added your typed letter. This is best used for preparing resumes so that you can paste your passport size photograph. Links to websites can also be included so that the site can quickly be opened by just clicking on the particular link. In addition to all this you can also erase any text you require at any time which is very nice as you could not do all this while you were in your examination halls during those days when you used papers to write and ended up making the white paper look like it came out of the sewers with all those cut marks, corrections and un readable handwriting. Ugh!

WORD CHECK

But yes, this does come with few sacrifices as well- you don’t get to experience that little joy of writing which I mentioned above and you also have to pay a higher electricity bill as you would be spending more time in front of the computer in order to draft your perfect letter. Moreover please do take care to carefully read through your draft- the letter you just typed, many times before you print it out. Otherwise you may spot some errors and thus reprint which results in wastage of paper and further contribution to destruction of natural resources- cutting down of trees to print your paper!. And please spend less time in front your system as wasted time causes wastage of energy as well. So, effectively using this application definitely helps me create a perfect and neat letter which I have never even dreamt of. Creativity at my fingertips :)

1. Joy in Paint:

Do you love to draw?

Or do you don’t get anymore time to draw and paint your favourite cartoon characters and other sketches?

I just love to draw. I draw what I love to draw. My memories of myself sitting crouched in front of white sheets with crayons and colour pencils in my hands, always appears fresh before me. Back in school, my friends would always comment- Sumod just loves to draw! Anyway, ever since I got employed, I really haven’t been getting enough time to do what I wanted to, or in “Corporate” terms: I have not been managing my time effectively!” So here comes a great opportunity for me to once again indulge in one of my all-time favourite activity-Drawing!

And it all happens in that ‘Paint’ application where I can draw what I want and even use all the colours I have at my disposal. Wow, I’m smiling now :) . This is really great stuff. I’m back to where I started. I’m happy :) Painting is a joy! This use of computer drawing application has really kick-started something new in my life. Though I now have to use the mouse instead of my good ol’ pencil, I can now quickly add, erase and insert a lot of fun things in my Paint sheet. Now I know how to add texts, circles, and images to make my drawing look more beautiful and fun. Creativity is now at my fingertips :)
