Binu Thomas :
STAYED MARRIED July 7,2011 -to- dooms day !!
I would like this to be written top my Tombstone. Someone s listening!
Anyways ignore the prelude. Now for the body of the post:
1 week before my wedding day ;On my premarrriage counselling session i was asked (read warned ) with the first question "
"Why do you want to get married".
My first answer was coz i want to...
COunsellor said Next
second answer i am not asked to stay unmarried
COunsellor said Next
Third answer came Coz as bible says :Its better to marry than to burn in passion"..
It is now the counsellor stopped asking the question again.
What would have been your answer before u got married?
What wud be ur answer if u were asked this question now?
As for me -one who is 66 days young:) in marriage- i would say "Wow!!!i dint know i had so much of love in me until i got married.
As someone said " I need more spritual energy to love my wife than to preach to the whole world".True this is for me...
Whats your story !! Do comment

DAY 18 - ASSEMBLY!!!
could not ask for a better start to the week.
I just had 3 lessons back to back for 3 different school.
Got to share the 1st one with you:
time-8:30
Place -Kenneth George School,Kempepura,Hebbal.
I reached the school and saw the morning assembly about to start.There was a group of 500 students all smartly cleanly dressed (ofcourse its because its monday :).Around 15 teachers standing face to face infront of their class line respectively.Extra ones standing at their back.And me (tall, dark and ??) guy standing at the back of all.an with all the attention from the small ones i was trying to be normal(tough haan...).And then There were a small group of IX and X std students who were ready to lead the group assembly in the following:
--a song--"the steafast love of the lOrd never ceases"..
--questions --who is the father of geometry :(
--announcements - by the principal.
---(did i mention the song "ggooooooooddddddmmmmornnnniiinnnng ssssssssiiiiiiiiirrrrrrr):)
--the pledge--India is my country
--the national anthem --Jana gana Mana..
--Then the breaking of assembly and waiting in queue for your turn to go to your class
you know it was fun fun fun unlimited.
In a flash i was taken back to my school days 12 years back when i last attended a school morning assembly.
I tell you again its fun with all the setting..
I did it all...this time i went to 5th std.(as a teacher of course)
Man for amoment imagine that there passes a law by the Indian govt.that all the factories ,govermenet and private companies are to follow this practice..
I can only imagine...
--a song--"the whole thing is that sabse bada rupaiya"..
--questions --who invented money :(
--announcements - by the CEO.
---(we sing the song too "ggooooooooddddddmmmmornnnniiinnnng ssssssssiiiiiiiiirrrrrrr):)
--the pledge--India is my country
--the national anthem --Jana gana Mana..
--Then the breaking of assembly and waiting in queue for going to your own cabins..
Sounds boring/ interesting
Let your imaginations fly..
but for now....
its the bell- tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan tan
( period is over):)

Day 17- UNO !!!
Ever noticed why and how many time most celebrities in a TV interview say these 2 words "YOU KNOW"......You know...you know...UNO..:(
You know i tried to use the same words intentionally in my talking to people but i was not comfortable because actually i found out the time i said "you know" was the time when actually "I dint know" what i was talking....man how is the listener supposed to know when i myself dont know what i am talking about..I mean you know and me know that there are smart people who will understand even what u dont speak but then, presuming that they know what even u dont know is ridiculous...you know..
Now u must be wandering what this "nut" guy is trying to say here on the blog today ,does he really know or not?? actually you got me there...i really dont know what point i want to drive here..but it happens i guess when you have lost in touch with ur fans/followers for a long time and trying to put up the habit of blogging again..for now i feel like a celebrity who does not know but expects his fans to know..:)u know

DAY 16 - PASSION !!
Seen this add from Nokia:
(dint get the first line)............,
Passion and Presentation dont go hand in hand...
Now getting everything and not giving up anything go hand in hand..
Presnting you the new NOKIA________
WOW!! Boy, do i love those lines? Oh Yes I do:)
My passion in life is teaching and preaching.I have found it out..
Over a period of years what gives me immense satisfaction and pleasure is when i am teaching into peoples life.Oh what a fulfillment i get when i do that.
And with this i also testify that line:
"Passion and Presentation dont go hand in hand..."
I dont remember the day when i could present the lesson the way i had prepared it.
Always our passion for a thing supercedes the way we express it.
To simpley say HEART OVERTAKES HEAD.
ANd a good way to find out what your passion is to see the things/areas where your Heart overtakes your head.That is what drives you,thats what pushes you,and that is your passion for life.And yes for starters i can tell you without Passion you are not living Life you are just bearing it...(see i got into teaching again...cant help,u see)..
on the last note :
Now getting everything and not giving up anything go hand in hand..
"forget it, things that you get without giving up anything does not hold a high price in your life, atleast for me it doesnt".....what say you??

DAY 15 -GROW UP !!
"Grow up"..
At different stages of life I heard this word , each one meant differently.
--WHen i was 8 yr old i remember as i was the elder one, i was asked evry time to GROW UP, i.e in compared to my younger brother.Which would emphatically mean dont be mischevious as your younger bro.You aree supposed to be elder,so behave decently.
--When i was in my teens say class 10, i was asked to GROW UP , this time meaning that i should stop playing cricket too much and concentrate on my studies.
-- then the GROW UP when i was in my engineering studies where my parents,relatives, friends all alike meant the same i.e get serious with your future,dont play like a child,BE A MAN, grow up.
Now all this thought dawned on me in a very unlikely place,The BARBER SHOP,as they say SALOON.This happened when the barber who was cutting my hair was a short guy .I dint notice it till i saw his hand moving very slowly. I asked "kya bhai ,form mein nahin ho"...he answered back "nahin! bhai aap bahut bade ho isliye mera haat nahin pahunch raha hai"
In english--WHat happened you seem out form ,for ur hands moving so slowly,
To which he replied--NO boss, you are too big for me, thats why my hands are not reaching your head.
NOw me again-- they were my childhood days when i used to go my barber and he would place a "Plank" on the chair for me to which i have to sit, coz i was too small for the chair.( i know you too sat on planks :)...And now after 27 years, this barber tells me pls lower down or sit a bit low coz the chair is too small for you...
WOW !!! i have grown up.Finally if not my parents but atleast the barber told this,though in diff. context i know, but I am happy to hear the words "YOU HAVE GROWN UP" :)...yaeee...yaeeee

Day 14 - WHAT THE CRY !!!
FIFA World cup is on, but to me its not living according to my expectation.Yesterday Brazil won at 01:30 hrs IST.Now thats too late i know, but my second fav nation to win world cup after Spain is Brazil,so... But all these matches are low scoring games and the teams who are lesser ranked are giving a fight to much ranked teams.....just makes me think how patriotism for a country can be so high on a sports field...
I saw this player form korea cry in front of the whole world while his national anthem was being played.I knew it would be on papers all around and it was.But this guy was the toughest player on field.He is known as "baby elephant" for his sheer power and force.But here he was overwhelmed by the occasion and could not hold himself from crying. What made this big bully cry..come on man u r a man u r supposed to be strong.-the world of men would say
That makes me conclude todays thought : REAL MEN CRY !!!
because i too cry and i have learnt from great men that they did shed tears over something that they were passionate for.i can expound this thought a lot more but for now let me just add PASSIONATE REAL MEN CRY :)

DAY 13 - CLOUDS !!
I dint blog yesterday.
And you wont believe how many people and friends alike were concerned and missing my post...........
Ans--> NONE....:(
But Sorry guys i cant disappoint you anymore i am back again with my blogging ways :)
"13" is not a unlucky for me.But the subject i chose CLOUDS is.
Thought dawned on me as i watched the continuous clutter of dark clouds that travelled over my head this sunday evening .I was taking a stroll in my roof when i saw this beautiful display of heavens playground.
Clouds moving from north to east with this steady blow of heavy wind..If you r in bangalore u wud know what weather i am talking about...As far as your eyes wud go u wud see clouds-big dark and heavy but being tossed from their place in matter of seconds and in minutes they are seen no more.And in all this there were short glimpses of the mighty sun in its background standing as if nothing mattered to him...The clouds were covering the sun for moments but then the sun never lost its patience it continued to be there.It didnt try to play hide and seek..As if the Sun is saying i have WIND on my side which wud take all you weak clouds to place where you would be seen more"
Reminds me of a SMS that i got days back...."Dont look and worry at the clouds that you see now but try to focus on the SUN that you see always"...to me that play in the heavens spoke to me a powerful truth that many books would have taken weeks to speak.
For now i got Clouds (read questions,doubts,uncertainities) over my life (head) but let me focus on the SUN (read Lord Jesus) who has got the wind (read POWER) on his side.And i will see the bright clear sky with the sun signing very soon.....Halleluiah!!
PS: Your comments on my CLOUDS are highly appreciated :)
