Thou hast made me known to friends whom I knew not.

Thou hast made me known to friends whom I knew not.
Thou hast given me seats in homes not my own.
Thou hast brought the distant near and made a brother of the stranger. (Rabindranath Tagore)
Often I ponder over these words of Tagore. How true they are in my life! Almost 11 years ago I left my home, my country. My study and mission took me to different countries. I met different people. They welcomed me in their homes and accepted me as one of them. I often wonder why people love me. Take the examples of Mrs Particia. I have met her just a few months ago. She is ever ready to welcome me into her home. She cooks my favorite dishes. She calls me often and enquires about my health and study.

I have reached 50!


Yes, finally exams are over. Last one month everything became topsy-turvy. It will not be exaggeration if I say I literally confined myself in my room. The only place I visited during these days was my university for the exams. The exams pressure was so heavy that I had to leave aside little activities, which I usually enjoy doing. These included my evening walk, little exercise, playing TT, watching film, chatting with my friends, email, face-book and blog. Thanks God, exams are over! Now I can get back to normal life.
