Mumbai Horror

Mumbai also known has the city that does not sleep. It’s one city that is filled with people from all over India and from different religions. Many flock here to make a living , to help them cope up with poverty which such a rich nation like India is not able to provide to them. Well I m just trying to find my words to pen down something which hopefully would inspire someone to do something about the Mumbai attacks. I don really know how successful I would be but here are my views. Has I watched the news channel, the only thing that I could see was hostages, commandos in action, explosions, gun shots, fire . Hell on earth.! I am a catholic and looking at such a thing going on just teared up my heart. I was shaken, it all looked like a action movie more then a reality.

True meaning of Christmas

Christmas is very close , it’s a time of great joy for all the Christians around the world cause it’s that time of the year, where God the father sent his only son to this earth.

Its a shame that instead of preparing our hearts and soul to receive baby Jesus, we waste it on entertaining the whims and fancies of our mortal body. My decision ...

Orissa Violence

Religious violence-Orissa,IndiaI wasn’t feeling all that great today morning, was down with a bad cold and fever however I happened to pick up the local newspaper and happened to glance through it. Hoping that I would come across something nice and worth reading. Would definitely make me feel better. Has I glanced through a couple of pages , I came across this short article which mentioned that the Goa Archbishop has condemned the riots between the Hindus and the Catholic in Orissa. Was totally out of touch of what really happened, well it really did not makes sense me knowing what really happened, from the looks of it, it wasn’t something good. Innocent people left dead has two religions clashed ! They say religion and politics are two topics that should never be discussed cause the sentiments of each person towards these two are unique. Fair enough ! I will not get into great details. After reading about these riots, I was left with just my question in my mind, Would it have been bet...
