Is this death?

Image
What is death?  Who is death? Does he has a personality?  Who is he?  Why does he makes us sad or cry? In fact why do we even fear it?  The story of this young man said it all. John was a gregarious type of guy, a tall , handsome looking young man about 5ft tall. He lives in a neighbourhood  near the city drive post office where he was loved by almost all. Every Saturday in the morning old Mrs Johnson  always hears the soft , gentle voice of a man  in joggers  and a sweaty T-shirt , trotting energetically pass her house as she waters her Roses . "Good morning , Mrs Johnson , i love your Roses!". With her old  wrinkled dimple smile, Mrs Johnson always replied "Thank you! Dear". That was John. He works as a clerk in his place of work at BB-enterprise in town, And he is fond of cracking jokes with his colleagues during break hours. Even though he dislikes reading fairy tales from his childhood, he never forgets to read one of the...

The thinking faculty

Image
The thinking faculty is amazing, Its wonderful and magnificent. I imagined it as a multipurpose Virtual machine  of creativity , which means every person i see is like a company having this powerful machine that produces amazing things. This person who is now a company , has a brand name for the items  produced by this virtual machine(thinking faculty) ,  generated arbitrarily by the behaviour based on character of the person ,  who leaves his trade mark on the items produced,  generated by his attitude. But it seems like most people under estimate the potency of this faculty even though we make use of it everyday. This calls for something new or an upgrade which means We have to take a little step further, to go beyond the little things we do with this powerful machine which means we need to give in more data, information, knowledge etc.  to this machine in order to make best use of it. Because thats the raw materials this faculty needs and when its ...

The Christmas harmattan

Image
Waking up early in the morning today reminds me of a remarkable story. Today the harmattan weather was a bit tense with dust , accompanied by a no where to hide cold. Even though one was covered with a blanket, this cold makes one feel as if the blanket was perforated. So i remember it was christmas. Long ago a child was born in a cold stable and he was placed in nothing but a manger. He is the prince of peace, an epitome of humbleness and a light to our dark hearts. This cold reminds me of the condition he was born in just to save you and me and today we celebrate his birth . MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The Baby boy in a manger

Image
A boy was born in a stable , placed in a manger in the little town of bethlehem. His birth was unique non like any other. But what is so special about this birth? You can't believe it, its the birth of the  heir of the  kingdom of God. A king in the making, an exalted prince!. But why would he come into this world in a conventional way? The only answer is love and humbleness. He took it upon himself to come into this world in a mortal form to help our helpless soul for the sake of his unconditional love for us! . We celebrate his birth, that is christmas!!
