You are always there in my mind But I don't know if it's love anymore

Fear of slipping away

If I seek God but doubt, I can be sure that I will receive nothing. To fear that I may fall is to doubt the power of God. I have this fear that if I go to Delhi , I may be pulled away from my faith. I’ve seen and heard many friends fall away. They were strong in the Lord and they were not pretending. I was surprised by the news of their fall and it made me uncertain of my own state. I am not strong enough as they were, so if I move out of this comfortable cocoon, I’ve a greater chance of slipping away. I was going for a morning walk in Bishnupur and I had a small Bible in my hand. I turned to the first chapter of James and read, “Consider it pure joy, whenever you face trials of many kinds…testing of your faith produces perseverance… so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God…but when he asks, he must believe and not doubt…that man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord…Blessed is the man who perseveres

Gone and forgotten

Of all the days we've lived  We remember only a few  What happened to the others? Where have they gone?

Spelling mistakes, cliches, terror english, etc

This is not a collection of naughty pictures/posters. But as you can see, spelling mistakes can be quite serious :-) E.g. the angel's herald can beat the Christmas spirit out of any mortal ! But see, even the US people make mistake and English is not our mother tongue :-) We have people saying 'childrens', 'womens', etc. so even in our speech, we misspell. Frankly I was for a long time, confused between 'its' and 'it's'; is it 'priviledge' or 'privilege' because it is 'knowledge' and not 'knowlege'? I was unsure of the spelling of 'which' after having used it for several years. On a different thing........ We seem to have a niche for cliches, but I wonder if that is passe :-) 'On this auspicious occasion... at the very outset' goes the Naga politician. Also if the people from NorthEast India are not careful, we can land up in a

Crazy Idea

Letter to the editor, Morung Express, on Trauma Center at Pfutsero It appeared in your paper today that a trauma center has been inaugurated at Pfutsero. It’s a matter of pride for the people of Pfutsero, being one of the only two places in Nagaland, to have such a center. But I want to put up my reasons for reservation to celebrate though I am from Pfutsero. Sir, AIIMS, the premiere institute of the country had a trauma center just last year after waiting for 22 years. So I wonder if we are in the position to have one and doubt if we understand what a trauma center is. At Pfutsero, we have a Community Health Center (CHC) which is no better than a Primary Health Center. A CHC is supposed to have specialists in surgery, medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics with X-ray and laboratory facilities. We are way, way behind to achieving that. And even if we have half the required standard, the CHC should be fairly OK in handling trauma considering present situation. How man
