My Acoustic Life

`For years now, I have been trying to understand the acoustics of my life`



 "Come on lad ..how long would you stay curled in your blankets? How could you want to miss the new year's firework show"

 - Let me sleep Dad I don't want to go anywhere.

"its been almost a week that you haven't seen the daylight.At least start the new year with sparkling reflections"

 -Reflections are perhaps an illusion of the reality Dad.

"There are no illusions son", he said smiling

 - perhaps you are Dad! , you have been troubling me since one week.

Dad being dad persuaded me to climb the cliff.
and then when I reached there, the starlight greeted me.
we both lied down in the pasture as the clock ticked closer and closer to 12. I spoke my heart to him about how strongly I miss him. I told him about the depression which mom went through in his absence.
The finance started to shatter and the bank was on the verge of confiscating the house.I too have been in depression ever since and that's the reason why I don't want to step in the next year, at least not rejoicing in it!
Though he was gazing the sky, he heard every syllable coming from my mouth.Every utterance was evidently speaking of my pain. If it wasn't for GOD we wouldn't be here.He held my hand and said
"You see that star son? Ever wondered how far is it from us? "

 - Let me guess..light years? don't know! Do you have any estimation?

"Hehe, Ever wondered how the wise men found Jesus? They saw a star leading to the place where Jesus was. It is amazing how a little source of light which is so distant could provide directions rather than illuminating the path. This is called Hope. 
In our lives too, GOD sends these tiny sources of hope that are meant for providing us directions and not illuminating the path.We gotta trust him and walk. This year is a start for you. GOD may not have illuminated the whole year and that's certainly because he does not want you to know all the plans at once. As the star only Guides, this year is just a hope providing you with a direction to go in"

 (John 13:7 Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.")

That made me realise that his absence was also a plan that GOD has in my life. He wants me to trust him.
The clock ticked 12 and the fireworks stretched across the sky.
I kept the flowers on his grave and stood smiling there with dewy eyes as the sparkles reflected in them.
Certainly, Dad, there are No illusions!

some of us have stepped in 2018 with no proper plans and objective and definitely with no enthusiasm. This year is a new hope for us to head in and walk and trust GOD to illuminate the path as we walk with him. GOD bless you.

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...

"I Love You", what i mean when i say these words!

"Love is patient,love is kind.It does not envy ,it does not boast ,It is not proud.".  1 Corinthians 13:4 What is love? A boy loving a girl? I was eventually taught the same.And also I knew that Love are of two Types,"One sided" and "Two sided" But I regret those sayings.. Because ,"LOVE DOES NOT HAVE SIDES BUT IS COMPLETE AS HOLE.IT HAS NO BOUNDARIES NO LIMITS" so never say that his/her love was one sided.They have not loved by sides but limitless. Human love is not worth comparable to the Love of Our God Almighty. We humans don't have patience. We love someone and the person does not love us back, we back off by suicide, Crime,injustice.. But love is not about Expectations but about acceptation. BECAUSE GOD LOVED THIS WORLD SO MUCH THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON . SO WHAT BEFORE THAT? DID GOD NOT LOVE THE WORLD BEFORE SENDING CHRIST? HE DID . READ THE BIBLE AND YOU WILL FIND MANY PROPHECIES OF THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST . So the question arises...
