Happy mmmmm!

I tell my friend I am in my own world,deliriously happy.
The first thing he asks me is are you in love?
Strange!
I have been doing my own little things being sinfully selfish indulging myself in small things that give me immense happiness.
I bought myself some lamp-shades,one in particular was after my own heart.I was all over Birganj,Ranchi and DTO on the lookout and as it always happens I come across this small shop in the by-lanes of Kolkotta that says 'Lamp-shades' and sells only lamp-shades.It was there in all hues, colours and materials.Paper,silk and satin.
Amazing ,and I thought shops like that had stopped existing.
The other thing that has happened is I have re-discovered my love for music and writing.My home theatre system which was a gift from my cousin is being used to the maximum and I discovered this collection of MP3 which took me back to my growing up years..some favourites from dire-straits,cat stevens,Eric clapton,Smokie....remembered my older siblings playing them at home and us the impressionable youngsters soaking it into the sub-concious...I guess that is why I find myself smiling to myself even as I humm along .
I have also been spending more time with my guitar...dreaming of playing the way the guys do-this is a little far-fetched but it is a dream nevertheless.
Connected and caught up with some old friends..exchanging recipes ..latest being one on wine-making-my fridge is conked off so I guess I'll use it as a make-shift cellar.
You take grapes,crush it in a mixer-add sugar ,a spoon of wheat flake and another spoon of rice flake-keep it in an air-tight container for a week-stir it and seive it through a muslin cloth-and there bingo is your wine.Although I remember my mom making it a little differently.
I am off off to the AGM next week-its in Ramgarh,Jim Corbett Park.Need to get a 'save the tiger'tee for my little neice and my brother who is a total environmental freak.The other day my mom was after some insects with an insecticide spray and was lectured as to how the dead insects could be eaten by the birds and the birds die...mom being a die-hard fan has chucked everthing that could even remotely tilt the nature's balance.
The light's gone.
more next time..

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.
