June and Jesus

Men don’t like to ask for directions.  I do.  That’s not because I am not a man.  I love to ask for directions but mind you, only to human beings, not to Maps or Apps. One hot summer afternoon, I decided to test my quest – to go on an expedition drive without using the Google Map.…

(Red Stone Dangling Earring) Phew!  Finally I am out in broad day light. Where am I?  I almost resigned myself to thinking that I am not going to see the light of day.  It has been 5 years since I even felt red. Even if I were a black stone, I definitely would need a…

​ It was not Tom Cruise who attracted me to watch the whole movie but Cameron Diaz’s name in the movie – “June Havens”.   I have never seen a movie with my name in it!  It was an action-packed movie about June getting into an accidental exciting adventure with Tom who happens to be an…

It is a cold Tuesday morning before Thanksgiving. The lake effect and the historical snow thunderstorms in the Northeast of the United States are not helping break the superglue bond between me and my bed under my warm comforters this morning.

As kids we have only heard of stories of Kings and Queens, when we let our imaginations run wild with the sparkly diamonds and rubies on their crowns, the gold and the glitter on their long flowing gowns, their immaculate gloves and impeccable manners, the thousands of servants running hither thither to cater to their…

​Faith in God – you have it or you don’t!  If you don’t have faith – no worries.  But if you do have faith, you might have a problem. You may have to keep fighting the good fight, to keep the faith till the end.  Webster’s dictionary defines Faith as a firm belief in something…

I didn’t want to open the door to my first visitor’s calling bell. Many of you know I moved into a brand-new apartment recently. On the very first day a middle-aged guy screeching halted his jeep in front of my apartment hardly a few minutes after I moved in and started ringing the doorbell.  I…

Something weird happened today!   Very weird.  Today marks exactly one month since I moved into my new apartment.  I love every bit of it!  Everything is as I have imagined it be, especially the glorious sunlight filtering into every room, both at sunrise and sunset.  But there is one thing I would have liked to be different.  The silver tap in…
