Evolution of my writing Skills!!!

2007-10-26T11:01:00.000-07:00

I did not study in any city schools and all the schools i go(schools with 2000+ students), the medium of communication would be only tamil though they were english medium schools, My only english sources were some anglo classmates, 80% parents(DAD) and very very few teachers (2-3) that too only my mom's friends. In the school which i studied when i started writing these, my classmates were mostly from slums. so if u think i did a lousy job when i was 8 yrs old.... i dont care :-) The following stuff that you see will be hilarious... But you can notice that i was getting better!!.
My Family went from one place to another shifting houses coz of various reasons and coz of that i didn't make much friends... I started writing when i was in Maraimalai nagar where our 2 storied house was surrounded by slums and it was vacation time and it was pouring out heavily outside... and since i didn't have friends, i had no reason to go out (so i had no choice, i had to do something). I remember sitting in my room upstairs facing the window watching outside when i started writing. (especially the rain poem)

A Monkey on a tree Story I

One day in a house, There were (was) mango tree, banana tree, orange tree and gova near that(those) green green mountains.

In the mountain there are monkeys, snakes and elephant.

The other animals stay in the mountain, the monkey is the only animal who come from the mountain.

The mother could not find any fruits in the garden so the mother searched for the fruits early in the morning. (MEANING: a mother used to pick fruits early in the morning coz she wont find any to pick during the day)

One day they forgot to find the fruits because their child is going out early in the morning. When the child comes(came) back home, the power has gone(power cut), The child felt as sleep (felt sleepy). He was very hungry. he called the mother and told that he was hungry. "I am going to sleep after dinner(is ready) wake me".
The mother went to the kitchen and kept the cooker in the stove and the mother lighted the stove five times, then the mother knew (came to know) that there is (was) no gas. She went to the garden and saw weather there is any fruits. The mother saw in the gova tree, a basket full of mangoes, bananas, oranges and gova(baskets apparently from the kitchen were up the tree). the mother took the torch to take the basket, the basket was too high. The mother thought (wondered) how can the basket of fruits can go up. The mother lighted the torch, she saw two eyes were shining. The power came. the mother lighted (switched on) the outside light, she saw a monkey. She called her children and all of them laughed. The mother told the children what had happened. all of them slept and the monkey stole the fruits.

Who are you gonna be???

2007-10-07T12:16:00.000-07:00

Genesis 2:5-7 .... for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

Noah's people hadn't seen rain!!!

"Water from the Sky??? Oh boy, i believe ya...
hey why not wine or sand??? ha ha ha!!!"

And they all perished and we have so many proofs of it today....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today...

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

"Ha ha ha... I wish that happened!!! Angel in clouds blowin Pappra-pa-pa-pa-pa-paaa"

Well, We haven't seen an archangel before.... so,

Who are you gonna be??? One of Noah's pre-flood people??? Isn't one proof enough???

Lets be prepared!!!

Evolution or Creation???

2007-10-03T13:57:00.001-07:00

If you Believe Evolution to be true, then answer these!!!

Who Am i ? (What am i worth ?)
Where did i come from ?
Why am i here living ?
Where will i go when i die ?

If evolution is true!!!
Who am i & what am i worth?
- you are worth nothing, you are just a protoplasam that got washed upon the beach!!!

Where Did i come from???
- From Big bang.... A cosmic burp billions of years ago

Why am i here???
- No purpose!!! Live as you like... no rules...

Where will i go when i die ?
- To the mud and rocks and get recycled!!!

Who Am i ? (What am i worth ?)
- You are god's Creation, you are worth his son!!

Where did i come from ?
- from God's hand and his breath...

Why am i here living ?
- To fulfill his plan and purpose, live according to his word (Rules!!!)

Where will i go when i die ?
- Where he said u would go!!!

If you dont like the idea of wanting to know who god is, and what he wants from us, and do what he says.... then surely you must love the Evolution theory which is stupid and not from God!!!

Well How do i sing and speak a bit???

2007-10-03T13:24:00.000-07:00

Well, I started off like this!!!
Singing the song Bimbo by Jim Reeves

This is a speech, i guess its on the topic "My Mother"!!!

I'll soon find out what i was singing and let you know!!!

Well this looks a bit embarrassing now but back then the convent school sisters like me a lot and i'm placed center stage often!!!
This is a speech done on a random basis and i did the opening and closing part of it...

Now, i dont have much of pictures taken of me when i sing or speak, and i'm more often behind the camera than in front of it...

so these are the two pictures i managed to pull out as a record of my recent "singing" Thanks to the ZOE band...(see also SCM)

Thanks to Victory Christian youth Felloship...

Student Christian Movement (SFS)

2007-10-03T11:58:00.000-07:00

A Musical Band of Four!!!
(Drums not seen)

Mam Conducted Bible Quiz...

Heard a Wonderful message!!!

And we also had a Choreography by our class girls and few games... and ultimately this is how it looked... With very less practice... Our best what we could do for the Lord!!!

Well it sounded a bit better than this video!!!

Carry your Cross!!!

2007-10-03T10:51:00.001-07:00

Whatever your cross,

whatever your pain,

there will always be sunshine,

after the rain ....

Perhaps you may stumble,

perhaps even fall,

But God's always ready,

To answer your call ...

He knows every heartache,

sees every tear,

A word from His lips,

can calm every fear ...

Your sorrows may linger,

throughout the night,

But suddenly vanish,

in dawn's early light ...

The Savior is waiting,

somewhere above,

To give you His grace,

and send you His love ..

Whatever your cross,

whatever your pain,

"God always sends rainbows ....

after the rain ... "

A Friend Flying Towards Future....

2007-10-01T21:35:00.000-07:00

Well, BCA MCC did have students from Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai, Kenya etc so flying isin't a big deal for our friends, but Lovely Feranda is the first one who got through some serious exams in flight training and got a seat in an flying accadamy in Texas... The first one to go abroad by sheer hardwork... and she gives god all the glory!!! and i really like that....

She Accompanied her friends(us) in the car and this is her picture outside the Airport

This is the best example to prove how lousy Chennai International Airport is.... Fine Rs. 00??? and no one has checked it out yet???

The Authorities asked her to reduce the number of baggages and she really had a tensed time(but smiling though). She Almost took everything as hand baggage from that extra bag, wore the shall, jerkin, took books and sweets in her hand(She took too much in her hand that she dumped a lot behind) and there she is with all the locks messed up... She had real fun!!!

And these are some of her best pals waiting at the viewer's point to see her take off!!!

Hey Where is Air France... has it gone yet????

My friends teased her that they were going to celebrate the freedom from her, but you should have seen their looks after she was gone... Everyone missed her...

Evolution Of my Drawing Skills....

2007-10-01T09:42:00.000-07:00

Well I started off Much worse when i was 10years Old and hope i got little better and i quit at the age of 10... Here's how it looked...
Then...

Then...

And Finally, thanks to the art sir in ART Club, I finally Ended up With These...

And Something I really Like....

I think, this is the best of me in Paper though i never tried after that, nor did i have any patience to sit again... But I later shifted this talent to Computer Designing.... Which Started As a school Web Designing, and later my first own creation of a logo from scratch for a Yahoo Group which my friend Philip Kingsley Manages... "The One Family In Christ"
After which i really liked the idea of designing on Computer.... So i learnt the manipulation of pictures which helped me create all the invitations for our inter Collegiate "Quest IT"

The following ended up as the invitation poster to 25 colleges...
And also Became the Backdrop for the Stage...
The following invite, i started designing with prayer and by the grace of god i took only 45 min to design and my personal best creation and i admired it for 3 hours...

In this process, i also learnt a bit to do some basic text animation which came in handy in presentation, Flash Invitation, Flash Computer Inauguration in my college and also displaying agenda and songs in church... Glory to god!!!

So, from my little sketches god has brought me till here!!! Good for an armature isn't it???

My first post.... My Best friends.... The MARK

2007-09-28T11:50:00.002-07:00

Well, My first post of my life.... so I dedicate it to My Best Friends Ever.... (Well i got other friends later, but these are intimate ones).
From the left - Me, Rajan Jacob, Philip Kingsley. and we decided to call our group as the MARK group (MAnish Rajan Kinsley)

As far as MARK Group is concerned, we dont know when, where and how we met (the exact insance). But we share the similar interests and stick togather...

An interesting Fact is that, three of our families are from Protestant Christian Background who have moved little out to non denominational churches (More like AG, Pentecost etc) and All three in the Picture have the fervent desire to serve god in our fields and be a testimony...

We guys share very similar interests in technology, gadgets, science, Bible, Songs and so on.......

Well All three of us are bit caught up in our own worlds now doing our career but it never feels that we are far apart....

I'm really Proud to Have Them as Friends!!!!
