As this year draws to an end, I'm remembering of those good moments which left a smile and those depressions where I really had a feeling of "nothing more".
The blessed verse of the year was "Easuvin ratham jeyam". Wondered if I will be admitted in the hospital and my mom prays for my recovery. The verse seemed so. But luckily nothing happened and am healthy.
I have always imagined new year as a very special day with a lot of surprises as in suddenly getting a call from a friend who is far in miles, close to heart, whom I love much , comes to my place, gives me a big hug and wishes " happy new year" ; Dada I'm so much in love with you, thank you so much for the day; The year was awesome I tell you. You are that one good friend of mine!
I felt so much happy when my dearest bro Josh left to NZ for his higher studies which is his dream, dream and dream. The long long prayers were answered. The last time when I met you in the departmental store, I choked back my tears; Tears of out of love, feeling of missing, joy of sending him abroad. Just wanted to tell you, you are my dear bro and I love you. Me and Akilah miss you the most when we realize that no one else is there to listen us patiently. We are so happy for you and you are definitely missed here in India. Love you
I'm extremely delighted about my joining in Madras Christian College. I'm totally in love with the campus. Eventhough the department I selected is not my kind, I still love being in MCC and Martin hall. It brings so much pride in being a part of 175th year of College anniversary. Here, I must thank Guhan for his extra hand of help. Guhan you are so innocent. You clearly understood five of us, eventhough we dont update you on certain things. We feel so blessed to have you and everytime when I feel so much happiness inside the campus, I always remember you. I'm grateful to you too and I wish you grow higher and reach your goals. Thank you Rev.Jeyachandran uncle for your help of getting hostel for me in the campus. Thank you Benz sir for guiding me through.
The other awesome moment was when my dad became the secretary of the Diocese. It was the proud moment of my dad and mom where they felt happy and blessed. The next is , when Bani uncle entered the bishoperic panel for further selection; I felt so happy , that real sort of happiness.
It's like a dream come true event when I stepped into Synod office for my internship. Got to meet a lot of good people from whom I learnt a lot. Viji Achen, Thank you for admitting me into your department; You are one awesome leader with whom I loved to work with. and I have never hesitated to call you or talk to you; I neither had a feeling thar you are the boss as you are very polite, friendly; I'm totally in love with Susan aunt's handworks. Prayers and get well soon achen. Thank you once again for giving me a chance to be part of the synod communication family. It is really a family. Not to forget Solomon Anna; Anna you are an other brother of mine; Just wanted to tell you that I felt being in home when you, Joshua anna, Barathi anna, Gnanam anna and Jeba akka were around. I really loved the way you all took care of me. I'm so much thankful for each one of you in the department. It's indeed a great pleasure in working with you all. Joshua Anna I loved the way you carried yourself so spritually. You really set an example.
The second niece to my family is the other blessing reacved from heavens. Lord you stood there and heard our prayers and brought us Steffi and Finola back safe home. Thank you for you know the desires of our hearts. Thank you Lord for adding one more year in all of my family members and friends. We honour you.
Sunny, It was so good to see you in my town after so many years. I never thought a guy whom I met in a interview will become my extension of family . Friend, I meant. You are a pakka pastor's son; Special thanks to you for referring me for internship.
Bala anna, Just couldn't believe that you are nine years elder to me. You are so loving, wonderful care taker and an awesome human to roam around. Will definitely miss you when you fly to UAE. Already started to miss :( I wish you all success in life and get married soon.

Bujju, I love you; I jus't don't know what should I tell more. Love you loads. Hug you tight. Eventhough I know that you are not a child of my mom and not from my family.... to me..You are my brother and I love you.I take that pride in calling you my brother, my own brother, Runcie. I wish you become an awesome musician. Niroson Madhuranga, You are resembling my bro Runcie and thats why I always give a second look.
Fiona and Finola You both are the darlings of the family; I admire you both, I love you so much and I'm feeling so much blessed when you call me "athai". Grow up soon. You both are the first babies whom I love from the heart. You are a blessing to us.
Steffi, You are an super sister in law. Rather than naming you in law , I find it better to call you sister. Thank you for being there when needed; thank you for being a part of my family and bringing two kids; thank you for all the patient listening of all the stories, thank you for being a communicator to the family; Here is an other message to communicate " search a groom for me soon"!!! :) Love you .
Gidi..You may never know how much I missed you this year. In every moment of happiness , I rememberd you; In every moment of pain, I wished you are there to give hope. I missed when I drove alone in roads; I missed you more when life turned upside down. I cried when I realised you are far away. I cried when I was left alone in thoughts. I smiled when I went through all the chats we had. But I felt really happy when you married Christy akka and flew too Korea. No matter how far you are, you are the hero of my life and I always feel complete when I end up sharing with you. Gidi Anna..I wish you both come back here for my wedlock! Loads of love.
Thank you my own sisters, Niruba, Nimal and nithya for always being there as the elder sisters of mine. You are the best sisters to me ever. Nithya akka, The next bride in line. Wishing you best years of life ahead.
Thank you Daphne, Priya, Lakshmi, Nisha you have made me feel blessed. Eventhough we are different in age, I'm so happy to call you as my friends!
Allen Anna, United States of America is not so far I guess. Thank you for that long lasting call. Rememberd the childhood days. It was wonderful spending with you and Carol Akka. Merlin Akka, you are so humble, polite and all the dictionary words which will refer down to earth. You are just wonderful.
Thank you the whole set of M.A and whole set of Martin Hall and the choir of Heber for giving me good memories and for the days yet to come. Dienart, Santhosh, Sam Anna, Bala Anna, Edwin anna, Sugi uncle, Aynesh, Diana, Pavitra ( the high :)), Portia and Swathi thank you for being a part of my life. Stephen Anna and Vimal Anna a tonne of thanks for teaching me theology.
