'For in him we live and move and have our being.'(Acts17:28)

So much has happened in the past one month.I was home for a fortnight.Had the oppurtunity to host Pradeep,Arpita and their lovely brood for the holidays.Went up to the mountains,had altitude sickness.Roamed the ins and outs of the Mangan houses with my cousin and my brother.Travelled to Sila and watched the India -west Indies match in a hotel room.
Boarded the midnight train to Jabalpur.Hit the hospital,de-luggaged and headed back to Jabalpur to pick up Marleis from the airport.Amazing to note just how many tourists from Netherlands were travelling to Jabalpur.Marleis hosted me and a friend during the ICMDA conference in 2014.We had been planning this trip forever.We stocked up on fresh fruits,juices,baked items and headed for the marble city or Behairaghat as it is popularly known.We enjoyed the boating but more so the running poetic commentary by the boatman and his companion.The marble rock in places were quite breath-taking.The next destination was dhua-dhar which in itself was beautiful but we had to cut short our visit because Marleis's height and her colour was attracting unwanted attraction.Walking up the hill to where our car was parked at 39 degree was a surreal experience.I developed a tan of sorts.Drive back to the hospital was relaxing.
Next two days just flitted by in getting back to work,tying the loose ends of the various upgradation work done during my absence.
Now we have a centralised O2 and suction,ABG machine,Multiparae monitor with ETCO2,Defibrillator,Infusion pumps.C2 hamilton ventilator is on it's way and the radiant warmers should be with us anytime.We are installing CCTVs.in strategic places.Last year ,ths time we were struggling to build the basic ACU structure.We are grateful to God for all the grace.
We are also developing the vocational training centre.Nine sewing machines have been assembled together.We have resource people who are also adept in embroidary.We hope to start engaging with the ladies around soon.
I handed Marleis over to Bertha for the Bhopal side of the trip one early morning in Jabalpur.Prateik had invited me for breakfast but I had to come back for work so excused myself..The weather is not getting any cooler.This morning was the World health day and so to commemerate it we ran a marathon with a world health day banner at six in the morning.We also bid our gooddbyes to Rao and family.We have the UESI youth camp starting tomorrow for the next two days.
Life goes on in a pace of its own ,we are grateful to our Lord Jesus Christ for every blessing for 'For in him we live and move and have our being.'(Acts17:28)

Feet in the water.

  Fifteen days of earned leave after working for two years,I was praying in a house group prayer and worship and pleading with the Lord to show me something ,when it was not forthcoming I surrendered to the Lord and prayed let your will be done and then I saw the Lord walking up a winding road and deep in my spirit I knew He was calling me to follow Him .I did not know where to but I thanked the Lord and said yes. I have been living more in the unseen world than the seen world. Suddenly out of the blue I received a message from Dr Arpit asking me to replace them in Madhipura  for a  fortnight. I needed to go because things were getting a little intense and I needed sometime to step back and mull some things over. I had no idea why the Lord was taking me back to the old world of EHA , mission hospitals and friends from the yore. Travelling to Madhipura , I  continnued to ask the Lord, 'Why this road? I had no idea why I was going  where I was going.I am glad I came because I could r

night-hunting.

 Monda suggested  we go  hunting. Dressed up to beat the rains and the unpredictable weather we ventured out at night with the two Dawas. Annie had baked a cake for Rumpanol.It started  pouring in spurts but nothing could beat the enthusiasm.The junior Dawa was to drive us to a place around fifteen kilometres up the north Sikkim highway.We would come across three rivulets of sort where we could possibly find the edible frog.The senior Dawa was already at the spot making a pathway in the jungle for us to proceed. We reached the spot at around eight at night.in the pitch dark one could hear the sound of frogs of all variety and we started seeing quite a few but none of edible variety.We shuffled around in the rain with an umbrella,raincoat and torches like Nancy drew exploring the grasses and having eye contacts with stunned frogs which seemed to have lost the ability to run .The two boys did a Tarzen and was lost in the jungle with a sling bag ,a torch sans any cover from the rain.While

Thank you.

 After almost five months of struggling with the nitty gritties the dialysis unit opened last week. We were able to dialyse our set of first three patients over the last few days. So much of effort,dissapointments ,struggles,joys and most importantly prayers have gone into the venture.Many who will never see the fruit of their prayers have invested their prayers into it. The day it started with many apprehension I was praying at the early morning hour and put my head on the pillow to rest and then just as I was about to sleep I saw a vision of Jesus on His knees interceding.That is how much my Lord cares for us and this morning while listening to Alistair I realised that He deals with us like a father does a five year old .That is how He sees us. Lord Jesus ,you are the crown on my head and the only thing I can take pride in.
