One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labour ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died, leaving us with a tiny, premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive, as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator). We also had no special feeding facilities.   One s... more...

Our blessings
A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other option but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on o... more...

The Redeemer
In the Holy Bible, under Psalms Chapter 91:7 says, “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee”. I would like to quote my experience for this Verse.  All of you are aware of the bomb blast in Mumbai, which had happened in the last year on 11th July 2006.  For the past 5 years, I was workin... more...

Refiner
In the Holy Bible,  under Malachi Chapter 3:3 says "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of  silver".This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study... more...

The Beach
Last month we went to a Beach at Alibagh in Mumbai.  The speciality of this beach is, a fort is built in the middle of the beach.  At 10 a.m., we reached the beach and our kids started playing in the sea water.  The sea is not too deep and the waves are not rough.  We can even go to the middle of the beach and play in the water.  Suddenly, we could... more...

Fasting Prayer
I have experienced so many times in my life that Prayer along with fasting is powerful.  In 1987, my mother was bedridden and Doctor told to inform our relatives that she will not survive. Whosoever wants to see her, can see her before she passes away.  I had just joined duty after my college studies and my brother was studying in School.  My siste... more...

The kite
Once there was a kite that loved to fly high. Nothing made it happier than to be caught in a stiff breeze that would send it soaring upward, far above the grassy meadows  below. It loved the feel of the wind and the far away view. But gradually the kite became dissatisfied. Wouldn't it be  wonderful if it could fly even higher than its string  allo... more...

The Necklace
The cheerful little girl with bouncy black curls was almost seven. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them, a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box. "Oh mummy please, Mummy. Can I have them? Please, Mummy, please?" Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box and then looked back into the pleading ey... more...

Can we define music? Most of us may agree that it is bourn by a time series, jointly or independently, of amplitude, frequency and complexity, three fundamental well-known parameters used in physics.

Male or Female?
You might not have known this,  but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female.  Here are some examples:  FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
