Corruption in India (by Jyoti Thottam)
What would Gandhi do? Hazare channels the Mahatma As I listened to the crowds gathered in New Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan these past weeks in support of an anticorruption crusader named Anna Hazare, echoes of Cairo’s Tahrir Square were everywhere. Like the Egyptians who took to the streets of their capital, the Indians who got together in […]
Pastors: handing over to others…
If indeed it be necessary, O Lord, to bury the workman that my work may be finished by other hands, help me never to think of myself as indispensable. May I be content to die with my work undone, knowing that my task is to work at the fulfilment of your purposes, not to work […]
Christ and the poor

REPLACEMENT WINDOWS :-)
Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive, double-pane, energy-efficient kind. Today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them.

The Universe is Expanding!!!
AS ALDOUS Huxley said about science, ”the more we know, the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness”. Indeed, while what’s written in the stars is, more often than not, the stuff of mystery to the layperson, this should never deter the march of science – a march that extends to […]

Humo[u]r
