Happy Birthday


And have all the blessings
Of the day, if you believe in it!
Mothers are indeed our
First and best blessing!
          One can’t rightly think of
          One’s birthday without
          Ever thinking of one’s mother!
You must also be
Having a mother
Whom you may not
Like to think of, or
Rather her thoughts
Prick you, may be…
          She can’t but
          Think of her children,
          Even when they don’t.
          That is a mother!
          A truth beyond grasp!
A mother won’t
Rather can’t curse
Her children even when
They hurt her beyond limit!
That again is a mother!
          Even when mothers forgive
          Every possible onslaught,
          Gods may not,
          Because mothers are
          Gods personified, if not beyond…
Procrastinate not to
Reconcile with her
Before ever losing
That chance to shed
Your tears on her bosom,
And be washed of
All possible stains and
Be worthy of her blessings!
To remain ever blessed!
Happy Birthday!

We miss you, Aiyya, a lot these days...


Generations apart!


After laying down the Ministry of Education...

It was on 24th May 2009, i was asked to serve the Ministry of Education of the Archdiocese of Trivandrum and R. C. Schools of the same diocese. After almost three year, laid down both the responsibilities as the authority was not responsibly responding to the needs of the Ministry in the diocese. They seem to expect one to beg for every need by not letting one to know what the allocation for that particular ministry is! Thus on 4th February 2012, laid down office.

Simultaneously requested in person for retirement and also gave the same in writing. But the bishop requested to carry on in active ministry. So, i asked him to relieve me from Thycaud parish. Again he asked me to continue till the transfers! As i insisted to leave Vellayambalam, he arranged residence for me at the Priests' Home, Kumarapuram. [to be continued...]
