“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”

A Weekly Update

Time to quickly jot down all that has happened in the week.


New qualities learnt:

1) Procrastination: I am getting very good at it. How? Simply by doing nothing.

Scores of thing to do and i am putting it off right till the last minute. High time i get started with them.

2) Being super chilled: I just don't worry these days, somehow worry seems so unwanted an activity in our lives. Bas aaj ka jashn banate raho :) Totally celebrating the present.


What kept me busy:

The MGOCSM zonal conference is in our church this time. So saturdays and sundays pass in a flurry of creative activities, which involve sitting with a bunch of friends and eating biscuits at 9 in the night and lamenting on the lack of funds to support the conference.

Various Options we have thought of to procure the funds :

1) Ask Father to announce in church the need for large hearted sponsors to fund the event.

2) Personally ask people who we think are large hearted for funds to sponsor the
event.

3) Convince the not so large hearted people that they are indeed very magnanimous and ask them for funds.

Everything about our conference is about large hearts, which is probably the reason why it is on the 14th of February - the most celebrated day of red hearts and little pointed arrows.

Say how many teenagers and above would forsake spending time with their girlfriends or boyfriends on this romantic day and actually come attend this conference with us in Church from morning till evening.


The theme for this conference is 'The Love Of God' which is no surprise because of the whole Valentine's day thing.

A spot of Reflection: Yet another Valentine's Day that will be spent without a romantic incursion. Wonder if i am being too idealistic.
