Madurai Ramnad Diocese -Election! Part II

It was a day that people had been waiting for since the election date has been announced. The previous day's election was a draw as the results dint compromise the constitution of the diocese! The majority must be 50% of the votes registered plus one. Though Rev.GK.Chellappa was leading with 171 votes out of nine candidates , he missed the chance by one vote. The other candidates were close to 150. So the election ended up with no selection of the officers and the schedule of the reelection was announced. The voters were damn tired and the people who waited for the results got pissed off and the people who took a day off from the office/school/colleges were worried as they have to give an other excuse for the next day's election! 

People gathered in group , started discussing about what can be done tomorrow, how to brain wash people, how to regroup the candidates, few started praying and few who were planning to take an off from voting the next day as it's a good day for weddings and they have got to attend one . The other few who were worried about the garlands and crackers bought for bursting after the results have to safe guard it now :) Am very sure, That whole night all the networks would have gained as the rates of phone calls increased to each voters giving them hope, trust, explanations and confidence. Meetings in different places with different perspective of ideas and stuff. 

Next morning ( 29th August ) Voters gathered for the prayer and benediction and the polling started around 9.30! The registered votes are around twenty less than the previous day. All the families in the Diocese were glued to the phones since morning! Rev.Muthaiya Devenesan leaded with 196 and he was in now! Other candidates votes dint compromise the constitution and again reelection was announced. And trust me, that was the toughest time to wait again get all the votes registered, again counting, same skipping of heart beats, excitement, pressure, doubts, fear! 

The polling started around one o clock and there was no news about counting! Time passed and it crossed 2.15 we got the slightest clue that Rev.GK.Chellappa and Rev.Dhaasaiyan are leading! Around 3, when a person from the floor rang up and said Rev.GK won with highest votes 212 , followed by Rev.Dhasaiyan with 190. I started screaming and few expressed their emotions with tears and my mom was one among it. She broke the fast with maaza :) :) I started clicking pics for memories and my brother in tears! :) The super good thing those three belong to the same panel !! :)

It was really a long battle and yes the journey taught us a lot, made everyone understand that God is in control. Followed by the results, the incoming office bearers took charge in the diocese office the same evening! 

Now the expectations of the people is really higher than the bar and And I wish the officers work for the betterment of the Diocese and take the Diocese one step ahead in all the aspects!

Congrats on your winning and MY BEST WISHES!!!!! 

Madurai Ramnad Diocese Election - Excitement

I come from a family where my parents have taught me a lot about *diocese* politics rather than life values. But knowing to tackle the politics have really molded me to get along with this journey called " LIFE". Today is a day of excitement as the Madurai Ramnad Diocese officers election has been commenced and the polling starts from 10 A.M. We are very curious to know who are the next incoming officers for the next three years! No matter what, the campaign, posters are all exciting things to do!  

I think it was from my grade 1 and my brother in grade 5, My house will be filled up with lot of presbyters and Diocese council members planning about the campaign, posters, budgets, talking about the negatives of the opponents, going through the list of D.C members a million times, yawning and then my mom brings tea and my bro and me giving them a performance with songs or stuff, late night talks which in turn Myself and my bro will bunk school , increased phone bill, refrigerator filled with eating stuff, unexpected guests, hunger strike, confusion in gathering people as there was only land lines, then....meetings meetings meetings!!! 

Trust me, even at the age of 5 or 6 I knew 75 % of the Diocese members; the only scream or sound or outcry or screech or whatever , everything will be " Diocese Diocese Diocese" And I was in it! 

Now after 15 years, we are back to the form! So far we helped few people to come up in the Diocese , few to realize whats happening, few to enjoy the freedom, few to grow spiritually, and the final few to stand for justice! And I think for that, my family is known and this time its my dad who is contesting with the panel ------>>>> Rev GK Chellappa , Rev. Dhaasaiyan,  Rev. Muthaya Devenesan !!!! 

So with so much of excitement , and with super good encouragement from the floor, Here we are waiting for the next incoming pillars of the Diocese!!!!!!! People watch out!!! And please pray for the same!

The Next Phase

 A lot of confusions, misunderstandings, few left, few supported, few yelled at my decision and there are the few who supported me to step into this world of Madras Christian College. I’m a random person by nature. I know I won’t make any decision properly. It always ends up in failures from people’s view  but to me I’m damn sure that every moment I spent making up that decision and undergoing that phase was just awesome and I enjoyed each minute of it. I never had plans to get into the education field again to do masters and that too in communication. Randomly with mom’s half hearted permission I applied for WCC and MCC. The payment date of fees crossed and I never paid it! Parents never turned up. As days went on with cries, pains, lot of unusual thoughts, worst nightmares, a feeling of lost, there stood a friend who showed light in the darkest path and made the necessary things to step into MCC! With no further delay he nodded yes and he was there in the college premises as my own brother to get admission for me! 


It’s not easy to get friends like I have got. Friends, who want to see me happy all the time, to whose decision I blindly trust, who don’t mind spending money, who is there when I’m lost, Who stands at the other end when I’m not finding the way, to whom I always have that belongingness, to whom I can lean on, whom I think my relations are, to whom I can talk all the non sense, to whom I can cry out of my heart, with whom I can show my mood swings, with whom I want to walk every mile, and With whom I want to fight!!! They are my Friends. And because of them I’m here in MCC!!! They trusted my decision and now I want to prove it right.

Finally I reached a point in my life where I have discovered the fact that” Friends are the real blessings God has showered upon me”!!! And yes, Akilah, Deby, Geetha, Fragy, Josh, Guhan…… You are all the precious and the greatest blessings I have received from heavens!!! Love you all!

The Rest of the 9 days

I'm really out of words as I remember only few things on what happened in the rest of the nine days!! I never found time to update the blog, the mistake is mine! It's gonna be three months after the completion of VBS! But I must definitely do this writing cos I wanna remember all those moments which made me feel how special I am. Everyday I had some things which made me happy, sad, confused, and many a lot of times I really felt blessed! Every night my mind popped up with some new ideas, some new games which I will try to present before them! Ten days I never Slept properly. And it was 6th day of VBS , and I was sharing about Daniel! I hardly remember what I spoke to them but the words which I spoke made an impact for a women who came to me crying and said" God really spoke to me through u and you will be blessed". I really didn't know how to react as she was in tears that When I was informed about VBS , and thinking about the things happened in my life " it was a complete mess"!!! Wondered if I can be a blessing to at least one!! and people u wont believe everyday god really used me and I will strongly witness that "God still has a purpose in my life and even for u!!!

When the testimony time came everyone praised Lord so so many things and many started crying. And when my chance came, I again explained the mess I underwent and God's control in it. Fancy dress competition went on really well and more than 45 children turned with the parents. That was the first time I tried conducting a competition and the Children enjoyed and exhibited their talents. My all time favourite of the VBS is baby Aaradhana. She is an awesome baby who dressed up like Samuel and said " karthaavey sollum adieyn ketkiren"!!! The place we went for love feast was serene and we had an awesome time playing games and practising for the final day program. The first ever time the I finished the program in one hour. 

when I holded the mike for thanks giving I choked my tears back and managed to extend my heartfelt thankies to the Almighty, Rathnamni thaatha, wonderful teachers, super good volunteers, and the dearest kids!!!! The teachers felt respectful on Teacher's day Celebration when they cut the cake and took out their greeting cards for them!!! And those cards were handmade out of my hands :P :P

Green day was celebrated by planting a plant by the seniors and the teachers and I'm sure the tree will be holding our names for generations and the other point is we are obeying God's word also as written in genesis chapter 3:17. global warming day was an other awesome event took place with a awareness of using of plastics and in degradable things which will harm our earth. Final day program was a super good shpw!

Lord thank you so much  for you are in control of my life and thank u for making a blessing to many in this world!
