Man-In Relations and Marriage
I want to share some of few thoughts of mine in accordance with the Bible and encourage you all. The present scenario of relation between man and woman is very different then what was back then when God made the two, couples take their relations very lightly. Divorce has become a common practice and it is thought to be a way out of the grip of the wrong person but only to land up with another wrong person. Break ups and getting remarried has become a way of life in the western countries and even in our places. People do not take the relation very seriously as they are suppose to take.
Bible says that when we are married we are one body the couples become one body inseparable united forever. No force nor any cause is able to break the bond between them. Our body is the temple of the Holy Ghost and it is not to be experimented with many others hunting for the right person. Our body is meant for only one connection because our body is sacred; we defile ourselves if we then don’t keep this vital wealth of our life.
This is a message to all men and guys that you take your relation very seriously and never indulge in any of this addiction. Love one and love in such a way that the whole world will know that you were really in love. Don’t flirt around and waste your body ‘the gift of God’. Bible suggests that man is to love their wife as Christ loved the church or as he loves himself. No one hates self, everybody loves oneself and cares for one’s own body so are we to love our wife. The bond of husband and wife is not tied up in the exchange of the rings and the vows you make in the church it is made in the your deepest of your heart and your soul. When we are bonded we become one soul, we are no more two that is what the Bible says. No matter whatever the difference you may have with your partner this bond that you have made in your heart should surpasses it all.
There is nothing like bad marriage or the Mr. Right, all that is there is a true heart ready to be submissive and forgiving. If you have this truth embedded in your heart you have a good relation and successful marriage. If any of you reading this feels that your marriage is with the wrong person or your relation is not right (if you have already crossed the limits of marriage) I suggest you that you better start refreshing yourself with the love of God in your relationship for God can make all things well even if it seems to be wrong. Only he has the right to turn it right. Bible does not encourage divorce and remarriages as much as you being humble and letting God make a way for you in the same relation. Marriage becomes sacred and important if you consider your partner as sacred and value her as much as you consider yourself the same.
I suggest all married man and all guys those who are in serious relation to treat your girl like a princess because every girl deserves that treatment; no matter how harsh and heartless she has been to you. You always give your best even if the boomerangs are just the opposite for in the end you’ll not be guilty or be regretful for loving her half and not giving her the full.
Let me give you a small example in this with this story: A boy had a good collection of beautiful marbles and a girl had lots of toys. One day the boy asked the girl for all the toys in exchange of all his marbles. The girl agreed and gave all her toys to the boy and the boy also gave all his marbles except one big and beautiful one which he hid from her. That night the girl slept sound with the marbles in hand but the boy on the other hand could not sleep because he thought the whole night what if the girl had kept the best toy behind with her?..
The moral of the above story is that in relation if you don’t give your full and best then you’ll always remain guilty the both ways.
So always give all your best no matter what it costs you for you love her. Make sure that you have time for her, make sure you now all her likes and dislikes and once a while surprise her with your love. Try to understand her and don’t just understand her and keep it with yourself try to express it to her in words or action this does really matter. Always take the advices they give because girls never give advices out of the things they have heard unlike man, but they give out of their personal experiences, so take heed.
If you are a believer I suggest you always have a routine family prayer morning and evening before you go to bed. Make this a family habit even if only both of you are there. Try and fast for your wife once a week for her health, wisdom, job, ministry, etc. You don’t have to tell her that you are doing this for her because this is a connection you have with your partner through the God above and you surely will have your relation grow. This is no big deal for out of love there is nothing we cannot do for your dearest.
When you have time take her out for a walk and talk to her about the past the day you first fell in love with her, always try to express how much she mean to you. This should not be a practice or some memorized lines, this should be directly from your heart no matter how blunt you may be in expressing but do always express your feelings for her. Have time for your kids, participate in the house chores she is into, never think she is lower to you and you are the boss. Always treat her equally and love her ever more each day.
Never remember her mistakes and hunt her back and start a fight. True love never keeps records of the wrong, that is what we find in the Bible. Forgive and forget the past for we all are human and to err is human. Wait for one another for the meals this helps love grow, never think that to make the tea, cook the meals, sweep the house, wash the clothes……. are her duties and not yours, in fact I believe it is equally your duty too because you are one with her. Try making tea for her sometimes no matter how bad you are in making it, wash for her the dishes after the meals, and many more things you can do for her and for your relations, I suggest always look for opportunities to help her and make her smile. For I believe to make her smile is why you fell in love with her and married her. These are some of the fundamentals of a successful marriage and being a good husband. But still all these are the fruit of making Christ the head of the family; this is what a real Christian marriage is all about. If you are the head of the family then these fruits won’t be seen in your family thus a chaos and unhappy family. Make God the head of the family and you’ll have a blessed family.

Lesson Learned....from little girls.
I stood there watching them for a while from a distance as they got more lost in their joyful play. These little girls were least bothered about the pounding rain that was falling all over the road and the ground beside them, they were busy paying with this rubber band game under this big cypress wings, though there were few drops of rains coming amidst the leaves and hitting them but they had not time to care nor notice all those. All that concerned them was that their school bags and the books inside them were dry and safe and no matter how heavy the rain and how long their game must go on…
I thought to myself that there is something to be learned from these little girls because they just didn’t pass my mind without leaving some scratches of question in it.
In life we are to be like these little girls paying their game under that big cypress. Yes, as we march along the journey of life we’ll have rains of trials, failures, turmoil, crisis, depressions, despairs and so on but instead of being sorry to ourselves or even complaining we are to go in shelter if the most high the Almighty God and unload our loads of burdens and rejoice and be free like those little girls. We should trust in the shelter we are taking and be doubtless that our problems are well handled and we are really set fee of all those burdens. Even as we go under this wings of our mighty cypress we’ll still sometimes have few drops of doubts, impatience and anxiety fall upon us but then we are to be least bothered about that as these little girls did and still keep playing.
After few moments of observation and lesson learned I moved on my way to church from and as their joyous laughter got faint and faded I realized how these little girls really knew how to trust the mighty they were taking shelter at for as they played under this tree they knew one thing for sure that even though it was raining hard at that time but surely the rain would stop falling after sometime….they just need to wait patiently. Yes, my dear readers let us also learn to trust the God Almighty in the trials of our lives and rejoice in His mighty wings for the rains of problems are falling but surely it shall stop sometime latter as we remain patiently un wet under his mighty wings.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN?
Hanna and her sister use to look after the house as their mother use to go for her work and return home late evening. Their house was heaven for them even after their livelihood was hand to mouth. They were the most cheerful little girls in the whole of the village; nobody ever knew the secret of these two little girls happiness, surprisingly not even their own mother.
But today at this hour of the time Hanna was crying to herself in her bed all alone. There was no as such a problem in the house that she was to be depressed about, the family income and livelihood was running very smooth in this early spring days of the year. As she was crying in her room her mother who happens to pass by her room for her day’s work hears her daughter’s low din of sobbing and wonders what is wrong with her little cheerful girl. She thinks of knocking the door and ask her what was troubling her, but before she even makes the decision of doing the act something holds her attention in the small rusty tin can beside her which was Hanna’s dustbin. She sees several sheets of paper of variant colors but amidst all of it her attention goes to a sheet of white paper with something written on it with a blunt pencil nip. She picks it up and unfolds the paper and reads the words written by Hanna in her own sweet hand writing “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MYSELF, HANNA”. She quickly realizes that today 18nd of June was her daughter’s birthday and no one in the family had remembered to wish her.
So now this was the time for her to act something very fast, so she quickly hustles to the Mayors house where she use to work and asks the Mayor for a few pieces of red and white roses. She quickly brings it home while her daughter is still in the room still weeping to her emotions. She takes out some of her old blue hair ribbons of her youth days from the drawer and ties a cute knot to the bouquet making a beautiful blue butterfly out of it. She then writes a Birthday note in a piece of paper as anonymous and places the flower and the note in front of the door of her birthday girl, she then knocks the door and hides herself behind the corner of the house’s store room, from where she could easily see her daughter.
After the knocks Hanna appears to answer the door with all the tears wiped up so as to pretend that nothing has happed. But as she sees the banquet and the note she becomes so over whelmed that she almost jumps with joy but only to find out that the sender was anonymous. She runs outside to see anyone waiting or may be someone just feeling away, but she sees none.
This is how Hanna’s 8th birthday was wished…...and as year sweeps by she never knows who the anonymous sender was. Her mother comforted her saying that may be there was some secret lover she had that she was unaware of and her sister Jane comes up with another theory that may be the ghost of her dad came and kept it there….despites all the assumptions it still remains a mystery for Hanna.
Many years later when Hanna’s mom becomes old and she remains mostly in the bed due to her age a day finally comes when Jane is found crying in her room the same way Hanna was many years ago. Hanna explains this situation about her sister Jane to her mother with profound regret and anxiety. Hanna’s mother asks her to quickly go to the Mayor’s place and ask for some red and white roses, Hanna instantly flees and comes back with the bouquet and then her mother asks her to get the blue ribbon lying in the drawer of her room almost untouched for years. She then knits the same old beautiful blue butterfly out of it and ties to the bouquet and in a piece of paper she write the same old birthday note…….and she asks her to hide in the same corner she once hid after the knocks…….. Tears slides down Hanna’s innocent nervous cheeks as she discovers who her anonymous birthday wisher was, the best birthday she ever had in her life…..she remains silent motionless as she looks into the faint loving eyes of her mother,………which still smiles back with that everlasting, unfailing love unconditional love.
Dear readers this is not just a story, my writing in stories is to bring out some facts and values of life which we knowingly or unknowingly have forgotten. We all have become so busy and sophisticated in our lives that we have hardly paused to find out who has really loved us true and helped to make your life worth living. May be even just for a second of your life that person has made you smile, I say to you all dear readers that today you take this time to go back to that moment of time, realize what it meant to have that person’s company in your life, how your life was a blessing with that person’s words, support, care, etc…..and thank that person, because he or she is worth it! That person may be your mother who has loved you and without you ever knowing sacrificed many things for you, may be your father who has loved you very much deep within though he is never able to express, your friends who has always stayed by your side or may be just even a maid of the house and most importantly our God who has blessed you with this life, they can be anyone but remember they are worth to be thanked and their presence in life worth to be acknowledged.
My intention in making up this story is not to be a great writer but preserve what we are all known as, yes my dear readers this is one thing in us that makes us human, THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN do not lose that value! Even if just one reader takes this advice seriously and brings into practice then I say to myself that my work is rewarded.
Your comments and suggestions are always appreciated.

In Memory of My Beloved Aunt.
Some of the most unforgettable days of our lives are the days when you really get to realize how much somebody mean to you only to know that they are not there for you anymore. This day is the day in your life you’ll never forget. We only truly value things and people when they are no more around because then we realize the vacuum that is left behind by that person are so unfillable. Things just don’t fit in then, it is then like the zig saw puzzle piece that you have lost forever, your life always remains incomplete no matter what ever you try to fill in that gap for there is only one such piece of puzzle in this entire world and you have just lost that one forever. And we are ready to do anything to bring that piece back if there was any such chance, even a chance of 10 to the power billions of a fraction you would still risk to take the chance to bring that person back.
One such moment was today in my life 29th May I lost too someone who was dearest to me though I never got the chance to articulate all the love I ever had for her. I had piled up words for her and made promises to myself within this innocent heart to always take care of things that I was entrusted though not officially. Today was the day I lost one of my beloved aunt and rather a mother……I cannot forget that day, it still clouds my heart when I remember of the atmosphere of the house in that small village in Kalimpong.
That was the day I made a promised not to let go things just for the mistakes me make, for mistakes can be corrected and habits adapted, but people lost cannot be brought back. On that day I truly understood what life is and how it hurts when we are left lonely. What hurts more is not the pain of the departure of that person but the pain of realization that they are gone forever never to be seen again…
As I sat in an old chair of that cold night in May 29 in that grief stricken house I started to miss the times I use to talk with her in the phone though not too often, even if it was just a, "hello and how are you?". I just cannot imagine how her families would ever have felt, the cries and the pain still echoes in my ears and it still gives me that pinch of unbearable pain. I remember the talking I did to my uncle days after the funeral outside the church and even now I can still remember the pain that was in his voice never to be healed again. For who can replace her in his life?..........……the vacuum is created forever!!!
Only Jesus can fill that vacuum, for only He has experienced what that worst of we have ever experienced. He knows what it means to be betrayed for few silver coins after all the love He gave, He knows how it feels to be denied three times the same night after loving the same guy for years, He knows what it means to be lonely, heart broken and forsaken, for that is how He exactly went to the cross of Calvary for us,for our sins for the love He had for us..........
Life surely is like a wild flower as Bible says; we bloom for a while and just fade away. I do have whys? of life to God about her death as I sit here today writing in memory of her but I can never question Him because I must remember that I am also only one of those wild flowers waiting for my turn to wither, He is the giver and taker we have no right to question Him, instead just thank Him that I have lived to see another day.
(In memory of my beloved aunt who probably is reading these lines for whom I could not do anything despite all the promises I made....)

TRUE TESTIMONY.........read it and be blessed too.
It had been nearly weeks that I have been in my room all alone just speaking to myself and doing nothing like a lost pyramid in the vast desert of silent sand. For the past few days I have been going through deep abyss of some personal depressions. This blog of mine was created mostly for the God’s work hence the name “promises4today” but it has nearly been a week that it was not getting loaded in my notebook. I tried all my computer skills possible to get it working but to no avail; I even consulted some experts online but still no answer to the question.
But the amazing thing was that it was working fine in other machines, so we finally concluded that may be my internet service provider has blocked my domain in my service. So now if that was it what else could I do? I had no other options then to just wait till the time for the recharge for the voucher of the connection so at that time I can talk to agents there.
Today I was in the most deepest part of my personal depression,…for hours in my room all alone I was talking to God worshiping him with my guitar and praying and crying, pouring my pains, frustrations, gilts, repenting and humbling in front of Him and asking for a new hope in life. As I was praying I was crying uncontrollably and after long hours I was completely exhausted because I had not had a single grain of food the whole day even though I was not on fast. The spirit of the Lord came on me, I was feeling lighter a bit then, and certain happiness was ignited in me, I prayed and thanked God for this new state of ecstasy and I caught hold of my Bible, kneeled down and prayed with utmost sincerity, “Jesus speak to me through this Bible, communicate with me through it, give me revelations,........I thank you on behalf of all the generations that went by and that is yet to come for leaving this Bible for us, The Spiritual food, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
This was the simple pray I prayed and I flipped the pages and suddenly I was directed to the book of Job chapter 42 verse 10-12. There God speaks to Job of He being pleased with Job and He restoring back all Job ever had in the multiplications. God spoke to me through these verses in many ways. I had never ever in my Bible study time had landed in the books of Job as much as I had in Psalms and other New Testaments books. The scriptures gave me hope that I was seeking for, by now I was praising God and giving Him thanks for speaking to me. I was so happy that I really wanted to share this testimony to any one possible, then suddenly I remember my blog, I thought I wish the blog was working in my notebook so that I could published it and people would be blessed too. Now the Spirit came and told me to do something you all won’t believe, It told me to pray! I quickly picked up my portable modem and put it between the pages of my Bible (I don’t know why I did that but The Spirit told me to do so) and I prayed loudly asking God to make the thing work with the blog so that I can share His glory with you all. As I prayed my faith got even stronger and by the time I said amen I was sure enough that my prayer was already answered. I quickly connected the modem and loaded my blog the first, and sure enough it got loaded. Yes dear readers it worked, miracle happened, my prayer was answered, He is indeed living. I was jumping with joy and gave thanks to the lord with songs as I caught hold of my guitar and played some praises. What was not working till an hour ago and weeks was now working fine with power of the Jesus. Nothing is impossible in Jesus.
This is a small testimony I wanted to share, in fact there are many and I’ll be sharing with you all one after another as the days to come. I just want to say that, yes Jesus is living and He alone is a prayer answering God. Trust in Him and you’ll surely not be disappointed…..He loves you all as much as He does to me and every Christians. He will answer your prayers too, all you need is that you surrender your lives to him and believe in Him.
God bless you all.

Battle Cry
Mini Battle Cry, Saturday 22nd May 2010, Venu: Union Church, Darjeeling, Soul Winners Ministries.
This was my first time in Battle Cry fellowship though it is organized by the Soul Winner Ministries every month (better known as Mini Battle Cry). I was never able to attend because the timing clashes with my other fellowship which is done in Bhanu Grahm under Campus Crusade for Christ. But this time I any how managed to attend sacrificing my regular fellowship for a change.
This fellowship “Battle Cry” was started mainly focusing on the youths of the present generation who are lost in this lust full world. In this fellowship the youths of all the denominations and faiths are welcomed and they are led into praise and worship, words of God and finally with the follow ups to grow in the Lord. They are taught about the wonderful plans and promises that Christ has for their lives, this fellowship has been helping many young’s life turn into blessings and living testimonies.
Today’s message was about being “True to Heart” and doing what God wants us to do with utmost sincerity. Keeping Darjeeling’s critical situation in focus speaker deacon. Mr. Ajay from Full Gospel Church encouraged all present there that we should start now a prayer movement amongst ourselves. Meeting in a particular place every day throughout the year and praising God and interceding for Darjeeling and the extension of the Kingdom of God. This was a challenging message for all of us because here we are not talking about just the harvesting but the labor involved in planting the seeds and the sacrifices….
Keeping in mind that this year 2010 as the year of Restoration all the Christian congregations and movements are praying and chain fasting in different places in making the world a better place to live.
I would like to request on behave of Soul winner ministries and all the fellow believers that you too participate and seriously partner with us in this common goal of ours.
May God bless you and use you all for the best.
Announcements:
"The Mega Battle Cry Conference" will be held in Gym Khana on 1st, 2nd and 3rd of September, Speaker: Ps. Richard Maybery.

Darjeeling QUEEN of HILLS or KING of KILLS?
22nd May 2010, Darjeeling morns another day in the memory of late Mr. Madan Tamang!!!
A big question for today: “Is Darjeeling a QUEEN OF HILLS or a KING OF KILLS?”
After the assassination of ALGLF President Mr. Madan Tamang yesterday in the broad day light it has stirred a air of new revolution in our fight for a different state, “GORKHALAND”. It has now stained our history forever.
Does the incident that took place yesterday prove that we the Gorkhas are brave? Or does it proves we are still cowards and uncivilized? Has Gorkhas lost their minds?.....where is the glory we Gorkhas boast about?.......is Khukari our only identity and solution????...............
What is that Darjeeling really in need of??? What should be done to make Darjeeling a better place to inhibit???.........what and where are we going wrong???
Please freely leave all your views and suggestion below in the comment box and voice yourself and participate in making awareness among we the Gorkhas.

Worst has Struct Darjeeling
Darjeeling is now in chaos......the mob has already gone mad shops and shcools are closed. Armed police are every where. Early morning the police had to even fire to mobilize the angry mob and people are injured and are admitted to the hospitals.
The All India Gorkha League has alleged that it is the works of their rival party Gorkha Janmukti Morcha. However Gorkha Janmukti Morcha has denied the charge. We don't know what waits ahead but surely things are going to be pretty dirty here.
Please remember Darjeeling in your prayers.
Your your Best Wishes, suggestions and your comforts for your fellow Gorkhas is most appreciated if you can put in down in the comment box below.

This Is A Birthday Note For A Brother. 21st May 2010
It's about someone who never gets to hear, nearly enough, what a wonderful guy he is. He's a person who has been thanked by my heart for a hundred things, but hardly ever... by my words. And he is an amazing guy who has always been appreciated so enormously, but for reasons that have only been known to me!
So, Brother, I thought it might be time to do something about that...
I am sorry that I don't tell you more often how much you mean -- and how much you have always meant -- to me.
We have a closeness that doesn't need to be measured in miles. Ours is the warm and sharing kind that has always been measured in memories made, reassurance given, and the nicest kind of smiles anyone could ask for. You are a big part of my life, and you always will be.
And I don't know what I did to deserve such a great brother, but whatever it was... I hope you know that I treasure you so much, and I'm eternally grateful that we are "family.
WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER, MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH FRESH BLESSINGS IN THE COMING YEARS TOO.
With love Ccir.(and family)
(If you all the readers also want to wish Amir Gurung(my own brother)a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" irrespective of your acquittance and relation with him you can leave your wishes and love in the comment box below and extend your blessings for him)

Money Ain't Everything
One can never find anything done without having one’s wallet speak. Bible truly says the money is root of all evil. The present world has become so corrupt all for the crave of money. People have forgotten the morale of life all for the hunt of living a sophisticated life with money enough. Money is now your life, without it you don’t have identity. A mother forgets her child, a husband kills his wife, a child murders his parents, strangers kidnaps children, girls markets their body, etc all for money.
But what I want to write here is that money ain’t everything! Money can buy luxury but not comfort, money can buy victories but not peace, money can buy medicine but not health, money can buy friends but not family, money can buy education but not wisdom, money can buy sympathy but not love, money can buy religion but not salvation….. There are many things that money cannot buy.
Don’t weary yourself trying to get rich. Why waste your time? For riches can disappear as though they had wings of a bird. Proverbs: 23: 4-5
Let money be a factor of life but not the life itself. Even I cannot deny that money is something I do need too. But let it not be for which you forget everything, it is something that is man made so it can never be more than man itself, right? What I mean to say here is that we have somehow so lost in the cloud of capitalism that we no more have any humanity left in us. We have drifted to the orbit of barbarism and animalism.
Remember: “peace makes money and money makes war”
So let’s make sure we don’t let money change us. We gotta remain the same germs and pearls that money cannot buy or change for we are one of kind in this world.

Breaking News In The Hills
Gorkha Janmukti Morcha, the present leading party of the hills has strictly declared two days of complete strike (today 15th and 16th of May 2010) in the hills (Darjeeling, Kurseong, Kalimpong...). The party’s leader Mr. Bimal Gurung has declared that all schools and tea states and government offices to be closed completely. However the tea states workers whose livelihood depends on their daily wages are protesting against the bandh. And the party has also declared ten days of bandh from June 12th onwards to draw the attention of the government.
The reason for the strike is said to make the government pay heed to the demands of the people of hills for a different state by the name “Gorkha Land”. However the government has so far turned deaf ears to the voices of the hills. In the recently held bureaucratic-level meeting on 11th May the Centre and the state refused to discuss the matter of giving the Gorkhas a different state. So in response to that the part is herby holding two days complete strike in the hills.
However it seems that the GJM has lost some of its trusts from the people of the hills because some parties are arising against them especially in stopping the bandh. Because it seems that bandh has already caused a drastic fall in the business growth of the people of the hills as many of the tourist have already cancelled their tour plans. Hopefully we are expecting no violence as there is every chance that the situation can change because of all the oppositions.
We wait to see what comes out of this in anticipation and prayer……..

Grief a private business
.jpg)
We all laugh together but cry alone. You may have people who understand you but you’ll never have people who can feel what you feel. No one can really get in to your shoes and feel what you are exactly feeling that moment of time even as they mourn with you. This is a simple fact that Bible talks about in Proverbs: 14:10 “Each heart knows its own bitterness and no one else can fully share its joy”. Your loved ones can comfort you with soothing words but they can never heal you. There is only one person who can really feel what you are feeling and can take part in what you are through and that is God. But since he is not physical to our eyes we fail to lean on His existence. But God knows human heart the best, He knows that we can never be satisfied with his existence and that is the sole reason He made Eve for Adam. He loves us a lot and he cares to provide us a support we can lean when we are here in this earth. But He wants you to remember that it is He who provided that support at the same time. If you forget that and start your own world then He’ll take that gift away from you.
I know my part of the pain I am through and you’ll never be able to feel what I’ve felt nor will I be able to feel yours part of the pain or the joy. That is something we can never change. But there is something we can always do and that is to show that we really care for each other’s situation. We can show our concerns by standing with that grief stricken person especially when he or she needs the most. That is how we show how much we care for the suffering that person is going through. Stand with that person even if you are not much of help to that person, even if you can do nothing to improve his or her situation. For at that time your company matters more that your words. In Bible we have a person called Job when he is grief stricken he still had three friends around him to give him company even though they were not much a help for Job and his problems. Remember action speaks more than words. Don’t quit and run away from that person or remain silent that will worsen the grief of that person.
Stand with that person even if the whole world walks away and show that you do really care…

You Are The BEST!
Nothing is accidental with God so are you not. God has blessed you with many blessings just try to count your blessings and give thanks for what you have and not what you don’t have because that is how life is to be lived. See to yourself seriously and find out how you are blessed, eg: Acknowledge that you have eyes to see some people are blind from birth aren’t you blessed from them?, you have hands to write, legs to walk and in many ways your blessed. Focus your thoughts to such things and always be thankful and never be dissatisfied with life. Don’t be sad because what you want is not there but be happy because what you need is always there for you. Remember that human needs have no limitations.
Think of one quality of your life that you are best at and remind to yourself that you one out of the millions, you are the master piece that God is proud of. Have you ever said, “Thank you God", for your wonderful family, for your best moments of your life, for your good friend’s companies, for your education, for the safty you have had so far in your life’s journey,……..These is something we people always miss because we are so busy enjoying life. Give a thought dear readers and curse me if I am wrong but if you think that my words near to truth even for a faction, then say thank you God with a honest heart.
So let today be the day you praise God for all that He has given you so far and make a difference for yourself in the eye of the God. And remember you are the best……yes your hair I love it, your eyes, your smiles, your way of listening to my words, your concern for others, your readiness to help people……yes dear friend you are still THE BEST.

Under the Campus Crusade for Christ we have students’ fellowship for all the students of every denominations and faiths to grow in together in the love of Christ. All the students from every college within the given region gather every Saturday for the fellowship. We the Darjeeling Team have our fellowship every Saturday at 1:00 pm at Bhanu Graham, Singamari, Darjeeling.
As refreshment for the students especially for the graduating students we the Campus Student Connection (CSC) go for the retreat cum farewell program each year. This activity is marked as moment to appreciate the passing out students for their involvement in the movement of the Campus Crusade for Christ within their stay of three years in the college.
So this year 2010 for the students of Kalimpong and Darjeeling we had a combined RETREAT cum FAREWELL program at Trevani (confluence of river Rangeet and river Teesta) a picnic spot near Teesta, 6th May. There were around 8 students in total who where graduating this year from their respective colleges. They were appreciated with a memento and certificates at the end of the retreat. Campus crusade staff Mr. Tashi Wangdi Bhutia (Team leader), Mr. Sagar Ghishing and Mrs. Purnima Ghishing accompanied with many other Alumnies were the key person involved in the program. We had self cooked lunch and games played amongst ourselves making the day even more alive.
These graduating students leave their colleges in pursuit of their goals but they do not leave the movement because they then become the member of LIFE NET. Life Net is another connection of all the alumni of the Students Connections. This means that no matter where these students go for their further studies or even in any field of their carrier they will still be connected to the movement through all the ways possible and contrib uting for the movement.
As always this year’s retreat cum farewell program was also very blessed and memorable with the grace of God.

Like all writers; photos is a Greek word which means light….blah blah… I’ll not give the definition of photography. All I want to write is about the relation I have with photography. It would still not justify my passion for photography if I pen it down, “as a perched land thirsts for water so do I long for the photography”. I have no idea from where but photography is all in my blood. I cannot really express how much I love photography, it has been my passion from very young age but I never gave it boost. There was no one who would encourage me with what I am really gifted at. Even my mom or any of my family members hardly know how much passionate I am in photography. All they know is that I am artistic and creative. Well I cannot blame them for not knowing about my passion, because I never got the chance to show them what I can do with cameras and light. We did have two old model reels cameras at home but I was not much permitted to show case my talent with all the expensive rolls.
So in a way my passion was all subdued within myself until during my college days in Darjeeling I got my hands on digital cameras. I started clicking and as all artists would do I also dipped the brush of my life in the paint of my soul and started painting my long dormant dreams. I have reached this far in my photography all because one of my friends. Among all there is one who really encouraged me to keep the clicks going. She was the first one who really gave wings to my photography, she even suggested me to peruse a carrier in photography. Well I just want to thank God for sending her to me with all those encouraging words and support. I want o thank her too through this blog for helping reignite my skills. Had it not been her I would not have clicked so far.
Later all my friends also came to know about me and my clicks and they truly appreciated me and helped me in this passion of mine. The fire of photography still burns within we and it shall never be extinguished. Well the sad part of the story is that I still don’t have a camera of my own. I know its kind a funny and ironic part of the story, ‘A photographer without a camera’? But that is the fact, so far I have borrowed others camera and clicked. Of course I do wish if I have a camera of my own some SLR Cannon D90 or Nikon etc, but for now there is no other option then to say, ‘it’s ok Ccir’ and just pray…
For now you enjoy some of my clicks and please do leave a comment to let me know about your opinions. (PLASE MIND THAT ALL THE SNAPS WERE CLICKED WITH 5 MEGA PIXCEL CAMERA AND THE INSTANT SNAP FRAME ARE EDITED LATER TO STOP PALGRASIM)

Trash Or Treasure?
We human beings have a peculiar habit installed in us which always says that what we assume and think right is right for sure. If we think that certain thing in life is useless and worthless then we seal it with conformation that is useless and never even look back at it. We have our own estimates and standards to consider certain thing as good and bad, we call some part of our life as blessing and some as curse. Sometime we really wish that we could turn the hands of time and move life the other way round, but guess what the result will be? It will still be the same, regret at some point of time and conclude that the former solution was better. Bible says that each day we have in our life is the day God has made and we are to rejoice in it (Psalm 118:24) so if each day is made by God then He definitely has a purpose for it, either you spend the day morning or rejoicing it still is the day that Lord has made.
Many a times we have things around which we don’t recognize it as blessing. In fact we shun it away because we are so confident that it is not at all a blessing. We think that if things don’t happen the way we think it should then we deem it as problem, curse and so on. But I say that if things are not happening your way, then rejoices because it is surely happening the God’s way. And that is more of a blessing then it would have been happening your way. Remember that “SOME PROBLEMS ARE BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE”. Often we look the outer presentation of the situation and fooled with our own attitude of intelligence we make false prediction of the blessing of the God. It may be a treasure not the Trash just give a second thought otherwise you may be too late when someone other recognizes and takes it away.
Often we have rejected Ministers thinking them as Monsters, Blessings as Curse and Treasure as Trash but now I want you all to realize that we are completely going wrong in doing that.
One great excuse we all make is by saying “let God have His way”, or let Him do I’ll sit and wait. That is not the way life works, it is said God helps those who helps themselves, and in Bible it is said slumbers are cursed. “Let God have His way” should be the theme of life not way of life. Ask God, what next you got to do not do what you want to do and assume that it’s the will of God. Show your eagerness about the things you want to do and anticipate God’s aid.

Monsoon In Darjeeling
Today 29th on April is the third time there has been heavy down pour. Monsoon has started here in Darjeeling. Well right now as I am updating this blog I can hear loud thunder and lightning. Some of the school students are also returning from school because the classes have been suspended. Monsoon in Darjeeling is not as much fun as in other parts of the world because if it rains for more than a month then we have landslides and soil erosions. You can see my second post in this blog to see the consequences of the rain in Darjeeling. Since it is a very hilly place we rather not entertain downpour as much as others would do. But for few days we do enjoy the rain and then despise. Enjoy it because we get plenty of water to wash and use…..haha……
Getting wet in the rain and coming home doused in the early rain has a different taste in life.I do miss my school days when we use to get wet on purpose so that the school dresses are not dry by next day so that we can stay home on this lame excuses. Naughty right? Well that’s something I love about monsoon
Well right now I am happy to be in Darjeeling and enjoy the rain….

Sorry and Life's Best
Sorry is a very easy word to say but a very hard word to except. The word sorry doesn’t lighten the pain of the heart. Sorry doesn’t really fill in the gap that the time has made nor does it erases it. Sorry is said so that you can restart and make a new better beginning. But remember that we have just one life and we just make one use of it, be it good or bad. There is no rehearsal in life every act is the final, so we have to give our every best when we do it. We make no mistakes about life that can be lived to be perfected later on. Things can be recreated and building reconstructed but in life there is no rewind button all we have is play. Life is like a burning candle once we lit we got to burn till the very end of the wick. We cannot recollect the evaporated wax or the burnt wick to restart it again from the beginning. Our past is the memories that is imprinted in us which can never be erased we carry it till the grave. Be it about love, life or of any fancy stories we can never format your personal hard discs.
Dear readers I am writing all these just to make you aware that life is not some experiment you do in some lab. Make the best use of all the first time experience you get to have and make it best so you don’t have to live to have a second try. You can take time but do all that you want to do once and for all giving your best. If you do so, even if you don’t get the second chance to experience the same you’ll have enough memories to cherish about your first that you no more a looser but a victor. Many things will come in life that seems to satisfy you but still not satisfy you the way you first had, and that is because there is only once first time in life. Nothing can compensate it. I had my life’s many first times in many things and with the collective study from many dignified people I hereby came to the conclusion that we try to forget our past to make our future ever more worse.
We all live for once and the special moments we experience are also for once, they never come again in our lives. We may try all our best to recreate the moment but it’ll never be the same. We may have thousand religions but only one true God and we may live to see thousand sun rises but there is only one Sunshine in your life that touches you and brightens the deepest corner of your heart. Nothing can ever replace it.
May be nobody understands you but your life’s that sunshine will surely do.
Live to make every first of your life the last and the best.

IN REMEMBRANCE OF BABY
It all begins at our small rented room in Darjeeling where my sister used to stay alone. One fine winter day she finds that a dog of the neighborhood has given birth to few cute puppies. Since the days were cold and being a pet lover she made a warm shelter for them. Among all the puppies her attention went to one of the white puppy with few small patches of black. She called it ‘baby’ and tried to fondle it. The male puppy responded to my sister’s voice with a lovely blink of its tender eyelids and that is how he was christened “baby”. That very moment she decided to make him her pet because in her solitary living the dog would be a good company.
Baby and my sister’s love for each other grew increasingly more with time. My sister would love him a lot and take him where ever she went, even to markets in her hand bag with baby’s head overlooking the view of the world around him. In fact baby was a lucky dog to have got such love and care. In such a young time he had travelled almost most of the places I had ever travelled in that age. He used to be wherever my sister went Dharan (Nepal), Garibas, Kalimpong, Siliguri and so on.
Once my sister went to LTI (Leadership Training Institute) for one week and left baby with me. He was just 4 weeks old then but I loved him too, in fact all my paying guest family did. He had made room in everybody’s heart. He was very jolly and loved to play all the time. My sister used to bath him almost every time and even perfumed him. He used to sleep by the side of your bed with us.
But alas! Very recently when he had lived with us for about one year or so he left us all. He was sick with food poisoning (probably for nobody knew of his sudden sickness) and nobody could do anything because at that time he was in a remote village where medication was very impossible and it was already too late when things where arranged for his treatment. Tears rolled down the eyes of our whole family and almost all the people who knew him as he lay dead on the kitchen floor with faint smile still in his same tender eyes. He was more than the part of our family.
It has already been about three months of its departure but still we feel the pain of its loss, his jolly barks still echoes in our ears. We’ll for ever miss him……..
This surely is a strange world, even a dog can make a room in your heart and leave an everlasting imprint of memories that time cannot erase…….
