Picnic to Mawling Bnga...

Neither Sun nor rain can stop us...
neither Thunder nor Lightening can scare us...
neither Hot nor cold can block us...
Neither Wind nor Breeze can slow our speed...
for; We are on a move to Bawling Bnga and Marcedez is our PICNIC Gaadi (Bus).

Sky is the Limit for our Joy...
Yes it is our pleasure beyond measure to set out for course picnic. We are thirteen in number and our bus has thirty seats; two seats per head. One seat was old the other is torn however both were dark...(perhaps not washed since it was bought). All the same nothing could measure our joy of being together and journeying together.
The journey was like the spider making it's web not knowing when to complete the task; we enjoyed the journey despite the narrow road.

Singing and dancing, shouting and screaming, laughing and looking and at times sleeping. Yes a couples of us were the center of the show acting, enacting and imitation our professors and cracking jokes about their manarisms while teaching and then how some of us walk, play and laugh. These moments were wonderful where everyone laughed and laughed until our ribs pained.
Three Hungry People....
We had an halt at one of our friends house; they were so delighted to have us that at 10:00 am they served us a sumptuous meal. With heavy stomachs we began our journey with loads of laughter...poor thing bus was old like the aged donkey carrying call stuff of it's owner. A couple of us were as if they were continuing morning meditation even in the bus...(Thank God we do not know what is in their mind)
@ Br Richard's House... 
Finally we reached the destination point where we were like the children embraced by the mother's large arms; For mother nature was so motherly and tenderly that we felt like listening to those lovely lullabies of our childhood. Our inner child was one's again active as we were at the lap of our mother nature....Surrounded by lovely lakes, mountains and those pine trees like heavenly angels radiating God's magnificent love...There were water streams everywhere and a large water fall that sang welcome songs unending...


We shared our lunch that one's again reminded us of God's love and goodness. Praise God at all times...for you are the master of creation, the flora and the fauna.
Mawling Bna is a place (picnic spot) 80 km away from Shillong; four hours drive.


This is our Marcedez Benz Bus...Speed 25 km per H.....

A Poor Teacher....

Image
We all know a famous saying "A good teacher teaches. A better teacher exhorts and the best teacher inspires." Fortunate if you have such teachers who walk into your student life. For sure they teach, encourage and inspire you to become better and the best. Unfortunate if you have poor and pathetic teachers who neither teach nor prepare for the class. Such teachers do come into our student life who paradoxically inspire by their despair. Strange but true. But to reach to this aptitude one requires an open mind and heart to accept the things that they cannot change but change one self instead. However, what I want to say is that today during two hours of class we experienced such poor and pathetic performance of a professor who only talked and taught nothing. Plenty of words bla bla bla....I just had a look around the class that was packed with students but then, most of them were all like as if suffocated and some constipated and still worse few were indifferent catching th

WOMAN/SHAKTI/EMPOWERMENT...!

Right at the outset, I admit that I am not a staunch feminist, yet this presumption doesn’t stop me whispering the truth of my inner voice. As someone said “say the truth and run away”, I do not mean such assumption despite the fact that I, a male, writing on such a significant phenomenon woman .           One cannot but accept the significant role of a woman in building a family or a society. Hence, we must appreciate woman’s contribution in nation building. Neither the governments, nor the civil or church laws build families. Instead, it is a woman who builds the family. If so, why there are rapes, domestic violence, and female-foeticide, divorce and unjust wages? State or religion is no exception. Hence, we must question the system, because if the system is corrupt what can we hope for? Hindu, Islam, Judeo-christian systems and the Greek, Roman, Eastern civilizations were all part of this inequality without being judgemental. Let us now get into the heart of the matter.

MEANING AS CONSTITUTIVE OF COMMUNICATION AND COMMUNION: LONERGAN

Image
Today seeking meaning in life is a common phenomenon that we all come across. Now it is sought in things, gadgets, celebrities, movies, sports, drinks, music, business and what not. Thus we have reached a state where meaning is to be found very instantly and immediately. The picture aptly depicts the attitude of today’s new generation where meaning is to be found totally out side the self and end up terribly disappointed, discouraged and disgusted. Some prominent examples can be that of Michael Jackson, Whiney Houston, Marilyn Monroe and Tiger Woods etc. What was missing in their life? What could be the reason why they failed to strike the balance between life/career and meaning? In this multimedia era finding meaning is very crucial and challenging. In this context Victor Frankel is one person who inspires me with his life; in spite of struggles he lived his life with a purpose. In this regard there are so many others like, Hellen Keller, Mother Teresa, John Paul II, Steve Jobbs
