The luggage.

I don't look at my room too hard on working days.I pick up things I need and I just leave the room.I know exactly where I keep them so I never have to search for them besides mom is not around here to clean after me,yes it still happens.
Every now and then I take one long look at my room and I know I have to clear things out.In a consumer culture like the UK every week comes with it's waste.
I go through my dressing table,clean my combs,segregate my finished and finishing products,old toothbrushes which have seen better days-room fresheners which have evaporated,paper labels of new stuffs I have picked up,My toiletries also go through a strict vetting process.
I go through my clothes ,segregate the ones I don't wear,from the ones I need every now and then.I go through my store cupboard and throw away labels and carriers of things that are about finishing.
I clean my study table of last weeks junk I have knowingly or unknowingly picked up which could be receipts,papers,coins,pens of all shapes and sizes.
I go through my tuck corner and chuck the dried flowers,fruit containers,sometimes,peels away as well.
Every now and then ,I hesistate.that is when I tuck it away in one corner incase I need it later.
Then I have the suitcase I brought in with me when I came over which is being filled up with small gifts,it also goes through a very strict screening.
I have my expensive guitar,basic lap-top and a basic kindle.
All said and done,I am happy with the progress I have made so far.My baggage home should be lighter than the one I carried here.
Not to forget,I still carry my broken samsung galaxy phone.I did try to change the cover but the shop assistant very politely informed me that the model I held was not sold in Britain anymore!
The last time I came to Britain I had a nokia 1100,a tough phone which used to break into six different parts whenever it used to drop from my hand-it served it's purpose though.Me and my telephones!

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.
