We, here at the St Mary's Syrian Orthodox Church  were blessed abundantly by the good lord to have the presence of his Grace Metropolitan Pulikkottil Dr Geevarghese Mar Yulios amidst us for the Youth meeting on 12/08/2012.

Later this was identified as the migration of the blessed Virgin and it came to be called the feast of Sunoyo (Migration) of the Mother of God. This fast starts from the first day of August and ends with the Sunoyo feast on the fifteenth day. This is the time fo...

This is how my current lampshade looks like, not so clean of course, it has stain of white paint on it and is much more worn out. So I did some surfing to find out if I could myself change the shade cloth.  And bang! I can... So this weekend mission is to try out changing the lamp shade covering. All I would need is a nice piece of vintage cloth. Good pair of scissors to cut paper and fabric Spray adhesive, craft glue, or fabric glue And I am planning use a nice lace that I have in stock, for the edges! Now how do I wait till weekend...? Update: The weekend was really hectic, didn't find time to completely finish my mission Lampshade, however I did initiate the process: Old cloth removes, structure cleaned, measurement drawn on paper & paper cutting done...now what remains is, find a perfect cloth for the shade (i know the most important part!)

" When Someone treats you like an option, help them narrow their choices by removing yourself from the equation ." We (that includes me too!) must always remember that, anyone who ask us help to perform a certain task that is routinely done by them; then that request of help is not because they are lazy or cannot handle the task. However its simply because they want to ease their burden & stress. In such a scenario, especially ones loved by them shouldn't make it a point to make them feel that by easying their burden we are doing a favor on them.
