Go where you are Valued

They said - Go where you are valued, so I ran back to God. Why did I run back to God and not towards God?  God knew me since I was in the womb of my mother. When I came into this world , I met different people since my birth.  My mother, father, brother, friends , relatives, classmates, colleagues, neighbors, spouse.  But, do all of them value me? No! I didn't come across even one person in my life who gave value to me.  When I felt that, I had to run back to God who knew me. The only one God who valued me.  I had to run back to Him.  Go where you are valued!

Count Your Blessings!


Count Your Blessings!
There is a song which goes like this – “Count your blessings, name them one by one; and it will surprise you what the Lord hath done!” Have we ever counted our blessings in our life? We do count our curses instead. We are here only to blame and count our “n” number of problems.

 Now, let’s start counting our blessings starting from the beginning of the day.
  1.    Have you woken up today by swiping the snooze or turning off the alarm in your mobile? If so, then it’s the first blessing that you have received for the day. Many haven’t!

2.       Did you get up from the bed all by yourself and walk? If so, it’s the second blessing that you have received for the day. Many didn’t!

3.       Did you drink water/milk/tea and had your breakfast? If so, it’s the third blessing that you have received for the day. Many haven’t.

4.       Did you read the newspaper/watch TV/check the latest updates in your mobile? If so, it’s the fourth blessing that you have received. Many didn’t.

5.       Have you started getting ready for office/school wearing nice clothes/uniform? If so, it’s the fifth blessing you have received for the day. Many haven’t.

6.       Have you started to work/study? Work from home or office/school? If so, it’s the sixth blessing you have received for the day. Many haven’t.

7.       Is there money/card in your wallet to buy groceries/vegetables? If so, it’s your seventh blessing for the day. Many don’t have.

8.       Were you able to speak to your friends/colleague? If so, it’s your eighth blessing for the day. Many haven’t.

9.       Had your lunch? If so, it’s your ninth blessing for the day. Many haven’t.

10.   Did you take some rest/go for a walk post lunch? If so, it’s your tenth blessing for the day. Many haven’t.

11.   Have you got back to work to finish your task for the day? If so, it’s your eleventh blessing for the day. Many haven’t.

12.   Had your evening tea and snack?  If so, it’s your twelfth blessing for the day. Many haven’t.

13.   Did you reach home safe/logged off from work? If so, it’s your thirteenth blessing for the day. Many haven’t.

14.   Do you have a family to greet you? If so, it’s your fourteenth blessing for the day. Many don’t.

15.   Are you living in a house? If so, it’s your fifteenth blessing for the day. Many don’t.

16.   Did you open the fridge to find sufficient vegetables/milk/meat/egg? If so, it’s your sixteenth blessing for the day. Many don’t.

17.   Had your dinner? If so, it’s your seventeenth blessing for the day. Many haven’t.

18.   Have a bed to sleep? If so, it’s your eighteenth blessing for the day. Many don’t.

Money Mania!

Moral Science was one of my favourite subjects during school days. What did we learn from the morals? Kindness, Love,Trust,Respect,Loyalty, Humanity,Discipline and other moral values. But, there is one thing which has overtaken al these values in today's world which is Money! Yes, in today's world if you have money then there is value else you are nothing.  And, thats why rich become richer and poor poorer. People are behind money and status making them money maniacs! Where are the moral values? Only if you have money you earn them now. What are we teaching this generation kids? Moral Science or Money Mania?  The law becomes blind just like the blindfolded lady justice when the person who has money commits crime and is freed,  Whereas the poor suffer even if they haven't committed any crime.  A man with money has value and a man without money doesn't receive any values. To all the money maniacs,  Last words of Alexander the Great. “ Bury my body, do not bui...

The Politician Theorem!

Hope all are aware of the Pythagorean Theorem which was the most important theorem in Geometry during school. In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem, also known as Pythagoras' theorem, is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides. This was the right angle theory which we have studied.  Now, let's look into the wrong angle theory, which is none other than the political theorem. In politics , the Politician theorem, also known as Political' theorem, is a fundamental relation in political parties among the three sides of a wrong angle. It states that the PM whose side is equal to the sum of the members of the party from the other two sides . Confused? So am I, the political theorem is so confusing since the theory itself is about the wrong angle. In this theorem, the wrong angle is the media and...

Ask Seek Knock

  Matthew 7:7  ► Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. What does this verse mean?  Whom to ask? If I have to ask God, I have too many to ask, is God listening?  Yes, During this Lent, I have got too many questions to ask God.  Why me? What's my purpose here on earth? Why am I living here? Why did you create me as human? Human beings are fools, No, Eve shouldn't have eaten that fruit which you had denied , maybe you knew the consequences very well and that's why you had denied.  But why did you create that fruit? If animals would have eaten that fruit it would have been better, the world would have remained the same how you had created, then this earth itself would have been heaven. Hope that fruit with knowledge should have been replaced with wisdom.  Let me ask a final question, I dont want to be a human with knowledge , who is arrogant and proud because of it, but instead grant me wisdom with...
