Weightloss countdown

by in christianity, Uncategorized and tagged , , , , , , , , , , | 13 Comments

Hi there dear sweet munchkins, darlings how are you all sweet hearts. Well I the Indian aunty have been doing a little bit of shopping and bought my family a fondue set. So when my sweet 16 birthday approaches  we can have fondue, well not exactly sweet16, but I decided though I am approaching middle age I am still a young girl inside , No I am not going to tell you my exact age yes I have decided to play the guessing game of my age.

Actually I am not depressed of my ageing process a lot like child birth there is always joy at the end and the countdown for my weightloss begins well again this time seriously, there is an Indian sweet called ladu and it is round and it needs an acquired taste but one should try it. Once someone asked me how do you do ? and my brother shouted like a “Ladu” two paise two. I was quite angry with my brother but we all somehow saw the humour of the situation.

I no longer want to be like a ladu so I joined weight watchers a slimming website very popular in the UK and currently 154 pounds my goal is to be around 130ish pounds so darlings the countdown begins. I have read inspirational stories about how people who have lost weight and hope to be size10 by my birthday.

There was once an Indian guy who went for an interview in  a call centre so the manager asked him to make a sentence using the colours green, pink and yellow so the Indian guy thought for a long time and said “the phone went “green green”, ‘I pink  it up and said yellow “

So hope you all make some happy memories with near and dear ones life is too short to be unhappy and grumpy. So have the sunshine smile or sing in the rain if it is raining. Choose life, love life and love those around you, don’t bite the hand that feeds.

Lots of love and hugs

From fondue aunty

dearest darlings, sweetypies, munchkins my cho cho chweet darlings how have you been ? Well I have been doing well and supporting my husband in his  teaching in our church. When we said our marriage vows it is for better for worse for richer or poorer, in sickness and I  health till death do us part.

We are of different cultures and colours but one thing remains we said our vows in church in front of God and family and friends and  we both took our vows seriously. We have had our ups and downs but our marriage has been like the Ocean sometimes there are heavy winds and storms but the ocean remains steadfast so is our marriage while God is our light house bringing light to our storms and winds.

We both have a steady hand guiding us and that hand is our Almighty God. Today as I sat at the bible study that my husband takes at our church I thought what more can I do that will make me a better wife to my husband and I clearly felt “ Support Him” He has been with me about seven years while he was working in IT as a computer Engineer while we were dating now he is serving God and is studying to be a pastor.

My dad is an Anglican Minister and I admired his preaching and teaching and here am I so many years later admiring my husband’s teaching and supporting him. When I was younger God gave me a verse which said “ me and my house will serve the Lord “ Now that verse is being fulfilled.

Dear friends what God promises he provides and guides. You may be dreaming of a life partner hold on to God and he will provide. You may be asking God to open doors in business or in ministry, dear friends if God has promised you this he will open that door it took 6 years for my husband to go into ministry but at the right time God opened the door.

Wait on God, read the word and just speak to God and watch God fulfil that plan for your life. As for me I am overflowing with gratitude and thankfulness to God for giving me the joy and privilege in hearing my husband conduct that Bible study and all I want to be is a supportive wife sans nagging and a wonderful mother to my gorgeous two year old daughter if I can accomplish this I would have fulfilled my role on earth as a wife and mother at this time for my family.

Today all I can say is I am grateful and content with my role on this earth

The History Of Anicent India

by in christianity, Uncategorized and tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , | 15 Comments

Hi there dear cho cho chweet darlings, how are you  dear honey buns ? Well I the Indian aunty have been reading about my language Tamil. The Indus valley civilization which is also called the Harappan civilazation and which is Mohanjodaro now  in Pakistan. Is an ancient civilization these people were most probably Dravidians the original inhabitants of India. Such as the red Indians of America and the aborigines  of Australia.

The Indus valley people can be dated to 2000 BC. These people loved art and architecture and dance as we can see the figurine of the dancing girl made of metal. The homes in this civilization had drainage and sewage systems and they built highly sophisticated housing for such an early time of history. They also had a great bath which can noted as the modern day spa.

I believe this civilization is as remarkable as the Egyptian civilization. These ancient people also did agriculture. Somehow all they left for us to remember them by was their remarkable housing.

What happened to these remarkable sophisticated people they suddenly vanished from the Indus valley if you are an sci fi fan you can say alien ship took them away. Or there must have been a tidal wave or volcano that killed these people or most probably what most historians believe these people were driven to southern India by the Aryans most probably Tamil Nadu where they settled down. The  Aryans then were the first  set of people who came to India and they brought with them the rig veda  the original script  which is the basis of Hinduism.

But what baffle’s me  is what happened to these people of the Indus valley I believe they intermarried with the Aryans and that is why the Brahmins most of them are very light skinned and highly intelligent a product of inter- breeding and some of them even have green eyes a product of Arayan ancestry

Then came the other cultures to India the Middle Eastern, the Syrians to Kerala, and ofcourse the British all these cultures make beautiful cosmopolitan India. Someone said if you see the colours of the people in India it is like looking at the rainbow from the beautiful dusky complexioned to the gorgeous milky complexioned with green eyes we are all Indian.

So my dear cho cho cweet honey buns that is the end of my history lesson for today.So Nandre or thank you for checking out my blog

Good bye from the Indian history teacher aunty

Money, Karma and Women

by in christianity, Uncategorized and tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , | 3 Comments

My dearest sweet munchkins how are you? How are you darlings ? Well today I am going to write to the women with some girlie banter I do not want any of you get offended with my girlie banter but here it goes ………

One day a pastor went to shop for a bra for his wife so he went into this Christian bra store and the lady said sir “ we have a catholic bra that holds the masses, the brethren bra that uplifts the fallen and above all we have the Pentecostal bra that makes mountains out of molehills “ So the pastor said give me the Pentecostal bra for my wife and went away smiling………

Dear friends, sometimes  life is like a bra  you can stretch your personality ,savings, friendships, your spouse to the limit but at the end it bounces back to its originality and to your real self.

Lets talk about money for a change we save, we earn, we spend, we learn. Money can be stretched to the limit but it always bounces back till we get our next pay check. Money should be respected and people with money are respected it is not the most important thing in the world but lets face the facts it is very important.

I do not like talking about money and did not know its importance but I learnt from my family that we should give into our church and God’s ministers. By giving we are being blessed. When we give money call it blessing, karma or fate the blessings come back at us.

I remember when I was working in Microsoft in India I gave into my church, an orphanage and to God’s minter and the next months I got better salary because I believe I pleased God by giving.

I do not think you have to give all your money away but keep one tenth of your money for God. It can also go into a worthy cause like an orphanage or needy relative. God will bless you for that. Learn to give and learn to receive.

I had a problem of learning to receive money as I thought there were more needy people than me but I am still learning to receive things except flowers and  dark chocolates which I love but there are people who must learn to be gracious enough in learning to receive and learning to give they both go hand in hand.

If you feel you can not give money give your time just learn to love people some people have gone through hard times and it makes their heart hard but one day tell God why you are angry  forgive that person and ask Jesus to fill your heart with love for other people and he will fill your heart with love.

By giving a hug to the elderly, or cooking something for a friend or sending money for a worthy project will do wonders for your finance and life and what goes around comes around give out love and what ever you feel you can do or give and watch God bless you.

So from the Christian finance inspector

Words, Relationships and Tango

by in christianity, Uncategorized and tagged , , , , , , , , , , , | 2 Comments

Hi there dearest darlings, how have you been? Let me start with a story “ Once there was a man who wanted to buy a horse  let us call this man “A “so he went to all the places they were selling horses but he could not find a horse. Till he met this brethren man who was selling his horse, so before he let “A” try his horse he said this is a Christian horse brother “A” if you say “Praise the Lord the horse will gallop, if you say Hallelujah the horse will run very fast and when you say Amen the horse will stop” So A was very excited and he said to the horse Praise the Lord , “A” was very excited and shouted Hallelujah the horse started galloping very fast till “A” saw the horse was going towards the edge of a cliff. “A” got scared and shouted stop, stop , but the horse went on galloping till “A” shouted in fright GOD save me “AMEN” the horse heard the AMEN and stopped at the very edge of the cliff in his relief  “A” shouted Praise The Lord and…..went over the cliff :(.

Praise the Lord it is not a true story but what I would like to say to all my readers gourd your mouths even when you are upset. Take a deep breath count to 10 and let out the steam. By then the pressure cooker of the anger will be a bit more mellow. I had this problem of telling my whole life history to people who I just met sometimes that was a good thing if done with people from church or people who care about you but at other times it can be used against you.

So discretion should be part of your lifestyle. Women have more intuition than men but men are more practical. So men it is wise to listen to your wives for advice and women do not nag your men but in clear ways explain to them why you think they should do as you say.

The relationship with your words between you and your spouse is like the dance of tango at times it is emotional and beautiful at other times you feel like chewing the steam of the rose between your teeth at other times it is a beautiful symphony. Darlings that is relationship and words in this relationship is vital.

There were once three janitors working in a building one janitor kept saying one day I will own this company and did not do his job as he kept talking, another janitor said I hate my job I should be some where else and kept telling everyone how much he hated his job and wanted to quit but one janitor did not say a word and just did a good job soon the one who kept saying he will own the company was fired as he was all talk and no work the other janitor quit his job and was unemployed but the quiet one who did his work well, well he became the manager of the company.

Dear ones let us talk less ,listen more and accomplish more for our own lives, our spouse, our children and above all else our Lord God.

So from Tango to roses

Be Whoem You Were Born To Be

Hi there friends, Did you know everyone has talents some obvious and some not so obvious some need to be nurtured and developed and some just are there but everyone has something  which makes them distinct from the rest of the world.

No one else in this world has the same DNA as another individual. Even twins have different DNA.

You are unique, you a special, you are beautiful, you are well you are you. No one else is you. You may say I am not rich as my other family members, I am not as pretty as my friends but let me tell you God chose you to be in  this world, in this exciting year of 2012 . You may be a teenager or a pensioner but live life to your best potential now. Never say never or better late than never.

I love the movie Patch Adams. Patch had a dream and a vision to build the best children’s hospital in the world where children can just be children and have fun even when they were not well these children were not treated different from the other children they  had fun in hospital thanks to Patch Adams love for excessive enthusiasm for the sick children.

When Joni Ereckson Tada lost the use of her limbs she was angry with God but then now through her speaking and drawing with her paint brush in her mouth she is an inspiration to thousands of people. When we look at the Para Olympics  these people with out the healthy bodies yet they make history in this world with what they have how much so should we be thankful for what we have and who we are. We grumble over a few pounds of weight gain how much more thankful should you and I be with what we have.

Get inspiration from people who are taking part in para Olympics who are taking a stand in this world. We can not all be history makers but we can make a difference in peoples lives by  praying for  the sick, taking a homeless man for a meal, helping a blind person cross the road, helping out in some way or other.

We are living selfish lives , my home, my husband or wife and children Lord bless us four and no more. No that is not the way to pray or join the Bless Me club admission free expectation is much more.

Shame on us for being selfish we have to rise up and help out in this world if you can not go  where help is needed pray for those people , help in the church and community and be a blessing in society.

Time to leave comfort zone and go the valley of the earth where we are needed and where Jesus spent his 33 years with people all sorts of people but Christ touched their lives how much more so should we touch other people’s lives so that they change for the better

From Mountain Top To The Valley

Grace

by in christianity, Uncategorized and tagged , , , , , , , , , | 1 Comment

My dearest sweet sweet hearts, my munchkins, darlings, how have you all been ? Did you know the Wright brothers invented the aeroplane and now travelling is so much easier and faster due that awesome invention.

Someone once said the world is like a ping pong ball. It is all connected by airwaves, satellites, radars, and telephone waves. So is an individual’s life it is all connected by family, society, peers peers, land, culture and countries.

When I see myself in this vast contour of land in a country I am an little individual  among a mass of individuals. I strive to be honest to my beliefs, my God and my family. Obey the laws of my country, my society and my family.

But is abiding by the laws the only thing that makes us good. Who is good ? Jesus was good. Mother Theresa was good but there is a little evil in every one. You may say No way I am good but look within yourself  are you really truly good.

There is a story in the Bible where a woman caught in adultery was brought to Jesus for judgement and the Lord said whoever has never sinned can throw the stone at her because  in those days the people punished the “women” caught in adultery by stoning them and there was no one who was left standing before our God for they were all convicted of their sin and Jesus forgave that Lady and said “ go and sin no more”

Forgiveness is strength and grace if we do not forgive others how will our Lord forgive us our sins. Learn to forgive and let go so that we can be graceful, loving individuals in our society, community and country.

My grandmother’s name is Grace and she is a wonderful strong individual. I remember one time my brother was asked to say  grace at a family meal and he shouted “Grace” amen. The meaning of God’s grace is His forgiveness instead of judgement for our sins. The abiding of law is good in the bible but that is not what makes us good it is our communion and fellowship with our God that brings us from glory to glory from grace to grace.

Man fell at the very beginning of time and man has that fallen nature in Him but God  Christ died for this fallen man and  now man can by faith through Christ approach our God in peace without rituals, penance or sacrifices of animals.

It is the grace of God you that you and I can live as children of God .

So I believe as Jesus said “ give to Ceaser what belongs to Him and give to God what belongs to Him so we have to abide by the country’s laws but at the same time if we slip and fall into sin remember God has this big gold shower of grace to wash us clean.

So from forgiveness to grace , from glory to glory the Indian aunty

Metamorphoses

by in christianity, Uncategorized and tagged , , , , , , , | 1 Comment

Hi there dearest sweet munchkins, how are you my sweet, sweet friends hope you are doing well ? Life is like a game of cards you can gamble with life and come out with Aces but whatever card you choose to play remember there are others playing the game as well.

 

How do we strategize our next move if you are playing poker, solatire, or just fun games as snap remember it is You who govern your destiny. God has a plan but you have the choice so choose your card well.

 

Your destiny lies in your hands sometimes society tries to govern us and keep us defeated but the Phoenix rose from the fiery ashes people thought they had destroyed the bird but that was when it rose in all it’s glory.

 

The butterfly was a worm which slept in a cocoon for a long time but one day metamorphous took place and out emerged this beautiful creature. My dear ones you may have fallen, or working too hard on your job or are just looking for your job or are just waiting for that promotion remember your time to shine will arise.

 

God has a plan do not fight Him. He is unbeatable do not run from Him as you may end up in the waters but let Him guide you and you will be more prosperous, happier and more contented it does not mean sell all you have and go to Timbuktu  as a missionary no listen to your heart , your intuition and God will open that door for you and me.

 

The days of slogging on the mission field is not as necessary as it used to be we now have media and technology, cell phones and Google the whole world is connected by television and iPhones’ and BlackBerrys.

 

What we need is to tell the next generation of our God and instill in them values of our Faith in God. Dear ones do not just live in the present think about the future for our children and may be arise to a better, brighter and more lovelier tomorrow.

 

From the Indian Aunty  saying” There is Hope for a Better Tomorrow”

 

Impossible Dream

Dearest sweet munchkins , hi how are you all today ? Well darlings this week has been a revelation for me. Yes darlings the light has dawned, the sun has risen on my confused mind, the fuse of the light bulb in my mind has started working and yes I know as I know, as I know, as I know as that the world is connected by media and words and technology  that one thing going around the world is the gospel and Jesus is Lord.

I have suffered from depression for some time.I am small in stature 5 feet 3 inches, am Indian, a wife and a mother we do not have much materially but I am contented though there  are  a few things I would really love for my family, I may get these things in this life or I may not but seeing my daughter’s face every morning makes life worthwhile.

I do not wish this depression on anyone as at times it has been too hard to bear but God has been with me and helped me choose Life over death. So let us live life to the fullest Darwin wrote about survival of the fittest but I believe to be fit you have to be mentally strong so I would say not the physically fit but the mentally fit have a better advantage of this world.

So let us have a strong forehead and soft heart to live in this world.

Lots of love n prayers the Indian Aunty  

Sunrise to Sunset

Hi there dear sweet pies, munchkins, moi chere’s, my so so sweet cutepies how are you all today? Today I the Indian aunty came back from the holidays’ happier and refreshed by the cool sea breeze and crisp mountain air. I saw a beautiful sunrise yesterday and just spoke to the Almighty watching that beautiful glowing ball going up to the sky. If he the creator could create such a magnitude of beauty such as the that revolves around the earth with the earth spinning like a top both going around but not colliding how much more he will care for you and me. This Almighty God who created the sparrows and says not one will fall on to the earth without His knowing who much so you and me. He knows the number of hairs on my head how much so he cares for you and me. Dear friends how did we evolve  was it some cosmic big bang it was God who created us He made it all perfect but man fell and perfection was put behind immm yes we are all imperfect. If we look at models they look perfect and I too am striving for perfection physically but man no one is perfect. There is a time that our Lord Jesus said no one is perfect expect God Almighty. Perfection can strived for but not attained we are going from glory to glory we will be perfect in God’s kingdom where we will be glorified. What I am trying to say is  by reading the word of God praying and just living a simple life we are going from one stage to another the more we read  the word and pray but we will be perfect only when God Almighty takes us to our heaven People ask me what is this heavenly home I say wait and see this imperfect but wonderfully amalgamated, cosmopolitised, computerized, innovative world will one day see this world God is creating for us. It maybe in this lifetime or the next but as you the skies change color of orange, pink, and yellow  as the sun sets remember He is coming to bring this New World of peace in mind, heart, politically, religiously, and   socially the word for peace in Indian is Shanti so let the Shanti of God rule and govern us today Lots of love , joy and peace Indian aunty
