The Knock

The Knock
                         -paul vattikuti
       Going through the ups and downs of the Life,I was very weary.I was all alone .No one loved me .I locked myself in a room.Tears rolled down my eyes as the flashback slided my sight.The people who left me alone along the path of my Life, leaving me helpless.
As I was weeping I heard a knock on my door. I gazed at the door pondering who must have visited.Remembering the emptiness in my life I ignored it and started crying.Suddenly I heard another knock.This was intriguing me.I rushed to the portal and unlocked the door.I found no one standing there.Depressed by it I sat on my couch. I again heard the knock .As I Got up from my couch ,I realized that yes it was someone knocking.But there was no one at the door.But the knock was inside my heart. The gentle voice whispering,"Let me in my child,you are not alone ,am with you,allow me to speak to you the time has come" .It is because I was attached to the pattern of this world that led my instinct to open the door (As the world opens the door on hearing the knock) But as the Bible says ,"Don't stick to the pattern of this world." Its time to hear the knock within your heart .Look there's someone standing at the threshold of your heart ,knocking.

The Melancholy in Her Smile

"The Joy which your arduous efforts yield, far outweighs the weight of the affliction you carried" "How well she knows me, ha ha," we both chuckled. It was yet another Friday night for me, suddenly I felt compelled to call my best friend ruth who was out of station for her studies. we have had a special bonding knowing each other all these years. we used to text each other every day and voice calling was sporadic. everything was unusual about that night. I had my exams the next day and I was busy searching her name on the contact list. "Hello" , I said to spark a conversation. she responded by saying "hi" in a hushed tone. seeking an answer to the unusuality I just encountered I asked her whether everything was alright or not. Assuringly she said yes.everything is fine. still unappeased I asked her about her health. She seemed to be whooping throughout the conversation. she kept on assuring me again and again. "hey wa...

Its all about happiness..

Its all about Happiness..                               paul vattikuti One day I asked some of my students the definition of happiness. One of them said that being happy means to express joy or emotions in a state of well being .The other said that it is a  state of well being characterised by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.One said it is felicity . I agreed to their answers but it did not satisfy .I do not accuse them ,for they spoke what they had been taught and what they had learn. Wanting to make them understand the meaning of happiness I called four students on the stage. I asked them to speak of the moment when they are very happy . One of the four said that ,"I am happy when everything sets according to the preplaned way" The second one said that,"I am very happy when I see my girlfriend"huh..He must be kidding. T...

A peek through the window

God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time. Ecclesiastes 3:11 It had been 2 years since Reena had met her mom.It was never easy for her to stay so distant from her. She had her college,part time job in the city. She used to travel once every year to meet her mom. But she missed the previous year as she had to prepare for her competitive exams. Life was a huge toil on her! Since her father's death ,her mother and she had been desolated by their relatives. But by the Grace of God they managed to survive in this self centered world. Reena was not satisfied with Life. She used to think that life should be all about happiness! She wished her dad could be alive . Our family must have lived to our fullest was her thinking. So she boarded the train in the evening. By the time she got herself comfortable it was night.She was sitting beside a window. She could see the ground green grass blending with the moons greyish shade.As the train moved ,so did the scenery outside...
