One More Year in Life

Celebrating Birthdays with family makes you feel better no matter how much clashes you have with your parents. It's even more better when you sit back in your own room in the midnight twelve remembering all the precious moments you had in the previous years and waiting for the phone calls from your friends or that one special person whom we always feel must be the first to wish. 

I never had any plans to get back home for my birthday. I felt like cutting a cake after a really long time. Every time when my friends plan something for the day, I make it a flop show cos I don't like celebrations as there are a million others who are suffering. But this time, I badly wanted to cut a cake, to have a surprise kind of things. Whom to ask other than my friends?? I asked them if they will throw up one. And whatever secretly they talk, I will ask, Surprise??? :P :P No, We don't have money to do and don't expect is the answer I received from Fragz and Aki. 

 The clock ticked 11.52 in the night, the girls called except the lazy bum Deby and yeah the formal wishes went on for an hour and few other calls. It was 6 in the morning, these girls came home with a wonderful cake mentioning "happy birthday flirty". The first word from mouth, " What Surprise ??, Better come later, I'm sleepy :) :)" As I opened their gift, I knew it's a photo frame and I actually was scolding them inside, "Mokke ppl, Bringing photo frame" But then the photo frame holds the most beautiful precious picture for lifetime! We five girls together :)  

It's exactly one month after my second niece was born who is staying in aunt's place 175 Kms away. On the way to meet both of them, I cut an other cake in my mother's school where her friends and school children arranged for me. I felt so happy :) Next in aunt's house, They had a very big white forest cake to cut :) I felt even more happy to share that birthday happiness with the whole lot of family. My first niece and I did cut the cake, And the second one was sleeping! But still I gave pose with her with cake :) Wonderful nieces I have. Cute kutties!

The Birthday was awesome. Thank you so much for those who wished me and I forgive all those who didn't check the right end of Facebook for Birthday updates:)

Thanks a tonne Akilah, Geetha, Fragy, Deby, Steffi, Godwin, Fiona, Finola, Granny, Mom & Dad, Anitha Akka & Dhina Anna for the love, for the gifts, for the surprises! 

I could see a lot of transformation in me compared to last year Birthday!

 And Lord Almighty thank you for adding one more year in my life; Guide me in the right path! 







This is Geethz work--->>

Year Ending Post

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.

My special thanks to my parents for bringing me up; What I am today is because of you both.

And yea, about my friends. Akilah, Geetha, Fragy, Deby Loving you much more than words. Big hug. As I'm typing this tears are rolling down my cheek. Love you girls; Had loads of fun and equal amount of cries. Girls I wish our bond continues forever and we remain the same set of friends , grown even more in love! Loads of love to you four! 
Lord thank you so much for bringing to the end of this year with abundant blessings.
I guess I thanked everyone.

I wish this new year brings our family a lot of happiness; If you face difficulties be still and know that God is in control. May this new year brings us hope, joy and blessings!
Happy New Year.

Loads of Love

Madurai Ramnad Diocese Bishop's Election

         A lot of things played in my mind. A lot really. Feeling of fear and Excitement is the major of all. It seemed that most of the dedicated people stood in prayers, children in their own language of prayer, youth in the mood of celebration, older people dint know what they were talking as their tongues were twisted in anger, fear and depression of the previous years rule; Women as always had a huge number of people around to chat , chat and chat about the candidates. Mobile phones kept singing to it's tune. The increased rate of heart beat awakened me from sleep. I tapped myself a little and rubbed my eyes, sitting up on my bed and strecthing with a huge yawn. I saw my mobile that was beside me on the bed and it was 3 in the morning. I was confused if all the things played in my mind will end up well or not. Then, I decided to have a word of prayer, of course for God's control and His abundant grace for the election which is happening in the morning.
 
The long awaited sixth Bishop's election was held on 20th of December in CSI Jacon, Madurai. In the presence of The moderator of the Church of south India, the chairperson of the election committee Dr.Charles and 14 scrutiny members conducted the election where 13 candidates of Madurai Ramnad diocese contested. The number of votes regsitered was 338. 

The election underwent five rounds in which the first round dint meet any absolute majority as per the constitution. Followed by that, with the same number of votes registered , Rev.Baninga Washburn won and he was being declared as the first selected candidate for the further selection by the Synod committe. It seemed picture perfect. It happened in the way it was supposed to happen. It's the historical event in the diocese where a Dalit was elected in the first round itself. Happy faces everywhere; Happiness surrounded the ground. Smile pasted on a lot of people's faces head over toe. People were wailing at the top of their voices. Everyone was extremely delighted , coupled with a sense of satisfaction you could feel after completing a Big Deed. Big day it was, surely.
 
Knowing that the election is not valid if atleast two contestants dint win for selection, The crowd assembled again and seriously confused in electing the next contestant. Somehow people elected Rev.Joseph in the third round, the next candidate for further selection.
 
The fourth and fifth round election dint compromise any of the constituition rules and no one was elected and there ended the sixth Bishop's election with the declaration of Rev.Baninga being the first selected candidate and followed by Rev.Joseph.
 
SO, Now the synod committe has to decide on the selection and people keep praying for God's Grace and favour in the eyes of people who decides further!
 
And yea, you can post your opninons here as comment!

M.A communication

The department which I'm not aware of. I neither knew hero's or heroine's , neither songs nor films, neither director nor editor, neither script writing nor screen writing. I'm not a type of girl who reads newspapers daily nor magazines or journals. I'm not updated on current happenings. Except for the Chief minister's name I swear I don't know even one of them! I hardly recognize Amitha bachan and Sharukh khan! I always have a problem in identifying  actress Roja and Devaiyaani. My eyes don't have a problem but I'm poor in this field " Media Studies - Communication". The only thing I do related to this department is I write. chumma random thoughts when I feel like writing. I'm not a good writer though! I also have passion towards editing & designing; It's just a passion towards it and am not an expert, but JUST A BEGINNER!!!
 
This post was there in my draft more than months, and now as I flipped through all my draft posts I found this one! I don't know why I dint finish it but am sure there is no such big reasons behind! Now to start off again I am thinking of something to add colors to the post. I have drafted this when I stepped into the department and trying to continue it today, completing one semester! Yes, I successfully completed one Semester learning something!
 
The first Viva Voce, The first designing of logos of my own dream company, the first designing of newspaper, my articles being published in the newspaper for the first, Everything happened for the first time!!! 

 These are the logos and business cards I thought for my dream companies. V5 trendz is a garment, Raising Kids is a play school, Open window is an orphanage for girl child!
 
I'm away from my parents, my beautiful bed room, my niece and my bike for the first time. But yes, I'm loving it as I'm not being instructed by someone to do things! It's the time for me to implement my own ideas, to learn to live independently and more importantly to understand where I stand and who I am! I think this MCC campus and the people I meet are teaching a lot of new new things everyday and I'm growing in thoughts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Little Meaning In Life

Life is often spent doing mundane activities that have little eternal purpose! But here is a man who had quit his job, shifted his place 500kms away, has figured out for what he has been called and showing light to many people's life by his work.
 
It's not so easy to cook everyday that too three times a day for OTHERS!  Guess what? Mr.Edwin Solomon Raj and his wife Mrs.Rosy Edwin has taken up that challenge of cooking nutritious food three times a day for the elderly people who has subscribed with them for food. Those elderly people are the ones being left out by their family and left uncared! They cannot even prepare even a single day's lunch because of their weekness physically and yes a few are financially well off. So this man has chosen those kind of elderly left out people and providing them the proper nutritious food in the right time every day. A lot of older people are being blessed this way cos of him.

He is carrying out this service in Sivakasi; A place in Tamilnadu near 2 hours travel from madurai!
 
He also runs an orphanage for boys and he is also sponsoring few girl children for studies! Here is the link of his service ----->>>http://rehobothtrust.co.in . Please take a look of it!
 
You can call him - 09442324424 ;
 
Mr.Edwin Solomon Raj , THE BIBLE says...if you devote your life to the purposes He has for you, the fruits of your labour will be manifested in due time and yes you have devoted and you are a blessing to many!
 
Best wishes and prayers

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!


Total number Votes = 343
Venue - Jeyaraj College of nursing
Time - 10 A.M

 * diocese - diocese is the district under the supervision of a bishop. It is divided into parishes
The word diocese is from the Greek term Î´Î¹Î¿Î¯ÎºÎ·ÏƒÎ¹Ï‚, meaning "administration"

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!

Day 1- Opening Day


The previous day I transferred all the actions of the songs to my mobs.Practiced the songs and reached the place early at 8. And people you won’t believe the teachers were on time for the devotion which was just wonderful. The devotion was about the elder son in the prodigal son’s story. The presbyter in charge started the assembly with the prayer. It was good with 76 children. I was much worried about the theme introduction. Then I had an idea to show them some of my niece’s garments and introduced the theme” garment of praise”. Classes went on well; teachers were so creative in making the charts and decorating the place. Good day.

For Remembrance And Reflection


May be the upcoming posts in my blog will be pretty boring for few readers as I’m going to post about each day in VBS. But I can’t help because, If I don’t blog here, I will totally forget what happened!!! My diary will get misplaced and papers will be torn and the devices like my mobs or lap will be exchanged or repaired but definitely not this world of internet. Seems like this internet is the place of ever after!!!
And it will be very interesting for me to see what I have written at times and to reflect on the decisions I have made after years through all my posts!!!So am gonna write some posts for my remembrance and your reflection on it!!!

Planning meet



Getting into the groove of things at a new center with new theme is always the toughest part. Strange faces all around and yearned to see just a single familiar one. I hope all the directors would have gone through the same woes during the planning meet. But luckily I had a familiar one who was a part of my college prayer cell, Miss Cinthya jeyapaul. I had a glow in my face seeing her. All others are elder and elder to me. And I am very sure the minute they saw me, they would have lost the respect they wanted to give to a director as I look very slimy and much younger to them. The secretary started it with a prayer, song and followed by my introduction. 

To get introduced with them I had a game to play. For each person, the right side of them is their advocate and left is their client. So a person will be advocate for their right and client to their left. And when I’m asking the client’s name, the person’s advocate has to answer!! Whatever the questions are. After questioning them I still dint memorize their names so played another game. First person should tell their name and second one by telling both the names followed by other persons. I somehow managed to spell all the names correctly. After this I proceeded with the vision and mission of JC VBS. 

Then I had another game to play. Asked them to make a rocket with the paper I gave and they aimed/ targeted to the centre of the chart which I fixed some 50m ahead of them. Few aimed and many dint. What I tried to tell them is, Even VBS also has some aim / target!!!! It is to introduce Christ and guide the children in a right way. Then I proceeded with the importance of Christian education, qualifications of a good teacher, time table, lesson preparations and special days. Planned to finish it off within an hour. But it crossed more than 1.5 hours!!! A combination super activity from the teacher’s side and inclusive measures of director can make the VBS, a real breeze!!!! That’s the conclusion of the day :)

I am In Charge Of



They had a great confusion in placing me for VBS this year. Started with divine patience, Thirupalai church and ended up with
Ratchanyapuram C.S.I Church. This year also again I’m single J I had a little fear but then to just check out how the church is and people are, I went to the church on Sunday. Spent some time with the pastor, superintendent and Rathnamani thaatha!!! Last year it was Rajappa thaatha and this year its him!!! Both of them took care of me well as their granddaughter. Long live thaathaas!!!

VBS director’s Workshop



Last year I had a problem in asking my mom to allow me for the workshop and this time its with the management I’m working with. At first when I got the letter about the workshop, I never wanted to attend as this year junior church of my diocese is taking full charge of VBS with songs, actions, skits and few more composed by themselves. VBS is a very big project and we really need guts, brains, lakhs, support from many people to work out this project, a success. So in that way, I really wondered and wanted to appreciate the crew of JC for stepping into this milestone. But I always feel dissatisfied when a new one emerges demolishing the traditional ones. And this time the prey is VBS Bangalore. Okay I agree that they never planned properly last year for games and memory verse methods. But this year we should have given a last chance for them. Ok leave it. It’s not that am discouraging JC VBS, but I’m bored of their ideas, songs, tunes, politics a little. 

It was Wednesday when I was telling all these things to my mother. And the very next day, it happened to meet the JC director and Mr.Edwinanna who asked me when I’m leaving to the workshop. I neither said yes nor no. After the discussion with him, I gave a second thought and left to Kodai with a book in my hand and a million thoughts in mind. Reached the place safely. The only thing I hate about the holiday home is the “network”. Ahhhh It will be disgusting!!!!. Songs in the session was very lengthy, actions not catchy, skit was normal, lyrics of few songs were good, and the memory verse,sabhaaa!!!!!!!!! I just don’t know who selected all the verses!!!!!  Each day’s verse is such a lengthy one and they never had good methods to teach also. Planning was not good in my perspective . they should have asked few other people's ideas .But anyways Good try.

 The worst part of it is I handled the cam ;-)But anyways it was a nice stay. I have posted the feelings I had there in my previous posts. Check out!
