Greedy..Stupid... me?? What is wrong with me ??

Why do I want to get a job in Bangalore? Why do I want this year (acc) year to finish off fast ? Why do I keep thinking of wht I will be next year ? Why do I keep planning I year in advance ?Why do I want to move out of home ? Why do I hate going out with my parents? Why do I hate being ´alone´ ? Why do I crave food ?Why do I want to leave my parents ..the very people who gave birth to me..made me wht I am..the people who love me??Am I like the little birdie who just flies away from its nest!! The last I saw the mirror I was still human...Oh good Lord wht is the matter with me!!!!!

Is it cause I want to get all those goodies I ´want´? Is it cause I want freedom? Is this wht everybody goes through at some point? Do I think so? my Dad dint move out till he got married.. and my mom never moved out cause we live at her ancestral property...Is it cause I´m 23 and never been in a relationship?

Is this some new thing that the guys in my generation experience? Or am I plain greedy? Oh dear Bloggers!!!! you are my only hope....Please tell me I´m ok..Please tell me you still love me!!!

This is just a test post...just trying to figure out how my blog will look like if I update from Linux...the browser is mozilla, and the OS is Mandrake 9.1...
the pics on the IM are me and my friend Johnsy...

Apples!!!!!

Boys are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The girls don't want to reach for the good ones because they're afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground, that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think that there is something wrong with them, when in reality, they are amazing. That is why we just have to be a little patient and the right girl, the one who takes a chance to find the good, right apple, will come someday...!!

Send this to all the boys who you know is at the top of the tree.So Guys if u are alone...this means that u r on top....so be confident and wait for your time. CheerzZ!

 

This came as an IM long back..I think it was either Nidhy or Riza who sent this to me..two great girls I met in college..and Riza is getting married in months..I had this saved on my desktop, saw it today though..I might as well share it with my dear blogger and xanga apples...lol..I guess it applies for rib apples too..lol

 

 

so there's an apple...I found so many pics of apples on da net..but this one seemed cool to my eyes..cause mabbe the apples I've ever seen and had looked like fast food..lol..they came in crates from North India(Kashmir or Himachal Pradesh) or from Europe..I live in tropical climate.so there it is..

 

I did pretty much nothing today....went to the swimming pool and it was closed for the day...so all of us came back and I've been waiting this friend of mine Aju..he was supposed to show up by now....

 

 

back to books again

I've got an exam tomorrow.The exam that got postponed Human Resource Management.I pray I'm able to do well

Yesterday evening had been to church church.They have constitued a website committee and I am one of the memebers....lol. So God is having plans for me at church I believe , or mabbe not . I am yeilding to Him .Let Him lead me.

Here's Psalm 23 .. That's my fav pslam....If I ever were King David's contemporary, I'd have been his fan..lol


David slays Goliath
Posted by Picasa

that would have been how David threw Goliath down with the sling ( he mite have used his right hand )

Psalm 23

1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

I've got to be with my HR books tomorrow, that postponed exam is day after tomorrow. Hope I do well . Keep me in prayer

A blessing!!!

Internship Blues.......

My first day at internship wasnt very pleasant, but by God's grace I was a lot better at the end of the day. The good thing was even though circumstances were against me, He was with me, I dint loose my cool even once and everyone I met were good to me by God's grace.

I had 2 offers for internship and it so happened that all two wouldnt give me the required information.In addition to working for them, I am supposed to generate a report about the organisation by the end of the month, and all three wouldnt disclose their financial statements

I found this out around 12:00 noon from both the firms. The HR executive at the first company was a young pretty lady probably in her late 20's she me all other information other than Financial statements.

So I went to this other firm and the Vice-President HR too was kind he too obliged to help me and promised me even the audited financial statements.I was quite happy and called up my guide at college.To my surprise he wasnt happy, he said the second firm has just 100 coders working with then and its not a large company.

So finally by 3:00 pm I got permission at the State Bank of Travancore , the largest nationalised bank in my State.I badly wanted to work this month with a software firm as that was my area of interest.I firmly believe that God has better plans for me.Mabbe HE wanted me to get acquaited with some financial institution too after all I'm doin an MBA.

After which I came home and we practised for sunday's worship service at youth fellowship at my home.and now here I am tired and exhaused but thankful to God.I called my Dad almost 12 times today.He was very supportive everytime I had trouble today.I thank God for the wonderful gift my Dad is to me.

I actully started reading that book thinking it would help me at my intership,but now I find it intersting and I guess I'd take a paper on Software project management in the last semester.

I just want to share this verse with you:

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end" Ecclesiastics 3:11

Thanks to all my xanga buddies for keeping me in prayer and for your wishes they mean a lot to me.Thank you Lord for making me tough and tired but not disheartened. Praise you Lord for the good internship you've given me.Jesus you are awesome.

A lazy day..but tough one's approaching

Today was pretty much a free day..did very little work till now...I got my exam schedule for that postponed exam and its on August 12th.I got a call from the faculty co-ordinator for out internship, and I'm supposed to start tomorrow. I called the HR manager of the company and I shud be there tomorrow by 10.00 am  . I just hope things are not too difficult for  me there.
I just thought I'd read the book of  Jonah today and finish it today.I should be starting it by 2.00....so off I go for lunch; then shud apply for the RBI Officers test and then I would be here at home reading Jonah.
A friend of my read this quote in his devotional book and sent it to me
"Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle. But you shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God. Not in doing what you like but in liking what you do is the secret of happiness."
--James M. Barrie
ah..would put down wht I find beautiful in Jonah at nite..

---------------10:37 pm

The amazing thing you find from the book is simple 'If God gives you directions and you dont follow, HE gives you free transportation to the place HE wants you to go.It would'nt be pleasant when God does that but HE will make you fullfill his will'

Looking at my life I find' I havent quite been obedient to God. Hope HE isnt harsh on me..I guess this holiday I got to read the book of Jonah was just to help me rewrite the wrongs in my life.Mabbe He's giving me another chace,hope I dont miss it.Praying for all my xanga buddies and others around..God be with you all,keep me in prayer too

My Grandma's note

Praise God..my exams were fine today.I've got one more exam this semester and its over.The next and last paper is 'Human Resource Management' the university is yet to give us the dates.so got a couple of days to relax I guess...

I was arranaging my cupboard and found this note from my grandma.She wrote me this for my 23rd birthday.so here it goes...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

My dear Renji mon,

          Wish you a very very happy and blessed birthday.May our Lord shower all His abundant blessings upon you,throughout this year and the years to come.Keep your eyes on the Lord. He never takes His eyes off you.When we keep our eyes on Christ, obstacles become opportunities.To know ,to love and to live for God is the desire of a renewed sanctified soul.Pray well. He stands best who kneels most.Prayer is a child's helpless cry to the father's attentive ear. All who are born of God should develop a likeness to their father. Live like a flower by spreading fragrance.

          May our loving and living Lord bless you physically & spiritually. Praying for you fervently.

Yours affectionately,

Amma
