A Day at College (Remembering old memories)

Wake up
Look at your watch
Mull whether you should have a shower
Skip breakfast
Have some coffee instead
Try really waking up (After the coffee)
Steal some hot water for bathing
Get ready
Searching for my friend who gives me a lift in his break less cycle
Meet my friend who has a mouth full of bread as we leave the hostel
Get to college just on time early (Feel very proud about it)
Then realize I have forgot my notebook classroom
Rush back to hostel
Then, Run to the classroom
Reach 10 mins late
Sit down on the penultimate bench (Hoping you won't get called to answer anything in class)
Feel very tired after all the running
Sleep for the first half hour
Wake up because someone is standing near you
Realize that the staff is telling you that tomorrow is the last date for submission
You wonder which assignment the teacher is talking about
You confirm you doubts with the one sitting next you who confirms it with the next one
Realize that you have SO much to do
Feel battered and depressed (But you motivate yourself saying “ I can DO IT!")
Find out who else haven't started and fix a time to work together.
Lunch time - Go back to hostel
Plan a short nap
But it becomes a long one
Run back to college
Since its already late, change your mind and run to the canteen and eat a chicken roll
While eating, ponder and fret about the submission and decide to stay up all night doing it
Go for the next class
Sleep through it
Don't learn anything new
Go to the Library to collect some books for the assignment
Feel dejected cause most of the books are gone (Others have already finished and the books are with them)
Walk out feeling very worried
See your friends standing outside
Meet and greet
Talk for more than an hour
They ask you to join them for some shopping
You think about it for a second and then join them
You come back from the shopping late a
The fear of doing your assignment gets the upper hand
But after roaming for some time you feel so tired
You go have a shower
Now you are sleepy
Decide to get some sleep and wake up early and do the assignment
Can't sleep because you're stressing
Get onto google to find information
End up reading and replying to mails
It's already dawn!
Start writing essay
Do a good job (At least you think you have)
Search for staplers from room to room
Submit assignment
Feel relived
Go to class
Sleep
Wake up by the news of another assignment!!

Love Test!!

Image
Yesterday I heard Mr.Clement Vedhanayagam speak. He is such an awesome speaker. I am using his sermon as a base for today’s post. Since its valentine’s day you could also test your love.   God loves us completely and passionately because he is Love. Love is not just a part of his feeling. He is Love. We can see that as we see Jesus hung on the cross as he took our place. This was demonstrating the fullness of God’s Love. So we know God loves us. But today we are going to check if we love God. We might have said that we love you Lord. Three simple checks will reveal your love for God 1.      Do you hate evil? Psalms 97: 10 says, let those who love the LORD hate evil. If you say I love the Lord, then check do you really hate evil. You may say, I don’t do evil. But you may cherish evil in your heart. If you really loved the Lord, there will arise anger and hatred toward what is evil. 2.    Do you obey his commandments? John 14:21 says Whoever has ...

Let Your Tears Fall

Image
My father died in a bike accident some years back. During the funeral there were so many people, friends, relatives’ and neighbors. Many were trying to comfort me. They said a lot of things which I don’t remember now. But I remember one person, one of my friend, not because what he said, but because what he did. He wept. He wept with me. He never said a word, but he was by my side weeping. And somehow his tears comforted me. His tears showed me how much he loved me. Even today when I think of his tears, I am comforted. Tears somehow have this unique ability to show how much we love a person. In John chapter 11, we see a beautiful incident. (Please do read the chapter) Lazarus is sick. Jesus delays. Sisters Panic. Lazarus dies. Jesus arrives. Mary weeps at Jesus feet. And you know what I love this verse. JESUS WEPT. He didn’t hide his tears. He didn’t hold back his tears so that he would appear strong. No He Wept. What a God we Have. As we weep at his feet, He is moved, he is troubled...

Story - Empty Chair

Image
This is a story that i heard in youtube told by Brennan Manning , the author of the famous book Ragamuffin Gospel. The minister in the Story was he himself. A man's daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with her father. When the minister arrived, he found the man lying in bed with his head propped up on two pillows. An empty chair sat beside his bed. The minister assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit. "I guess you were expecting me, he said. 'No, who are you?" said the father. The minister told him his name and then remarked, "I saw the empty chair and I figured you knew I was going to show up," "Oh yeah, the chair," said the bedridden man. "Would you mind closing the door?" Puzzled, the minister shut the door. "I have never told anyone this, not even my daughter," said the man. "But all of my life I have never known how to pray. At church I used to hear the pastor talk about ...
