Will Santa still come?

Tearful adieu to the departed innocent souls in the school shooting massacre in CT and prayers, asking strength for their parents and families to endure this pain. RIP little ones! (Sandy Hook massacre)

This is not the first incident. There have been many such in many other countries, of varied nature, varied magnitude and with varied motives in recent years. Do we still believe that something more heinous and horrendous will happen on 21.12.12 to bring this world crashing down on us for apocalypse?
Will Santa still come down to his little ones? What will happen to the innocent minds of all those little ones who are a witness of this demon-like act? I am sure each one of them must be having a dozen questions for their mommies and daddies. Where are heading to?

This incident has thrown a challenge into our faces - can we retain the belief of Christmas and goodness in this world? Let's try and make our small worlds peaceful to live in!!

Kshema's 7 Quick Takes Friday (Volume 05/2015)

And then Lord said, "Let there be week days"! --- 1 --- Manic Monday Hello Monday! Starting day of the week is usually the one filled with frenzy. You are the day when the "To Do" list that's written in the first morning hours is long; and the Inbox gets flooded too. Chase and get chased; and it runs into the other days of the week when the chase weakens by Wednesday and tries to pause by Friday, only to start afresh the next Monday. Home takes backseat. --- 2 --- Turn Up Tuesday Hey there Tuesday! Work craziness continues with growing number of rush hours, calls, clicking and clacking of keyboard and mouse, multiple windows of word processors, spreadsheets, and browsers strewn open across multiple systems. Programmers feverishly scripting away their ideas to meet the expectations of their principals amidst balancing the poking requests of a network of users.... silently cursing themselves and their days for they cannot satisfy all. The...

What went wrong?

It has been a few months that I bought this book - Essentialism by Greg McKeown . I found the book very realistic and baring the naked truth of my life in my face. But could not get even half way through it... as usual, got distracted with the non-essentials in my, after all, plain Jane life. I hate to say this but my life is mundanely simple. There are no excitements, no yahoo moments, not much of travel, no great social connect either. But I do have a bunch of good friends. Interestingly, I have picked up good friends in all walks of my life. I am neither a chatty kind nor a monk. And, am happy for the fact that my friends do not hate me. I do not offer opinions and advises, unless specifically asked for. Nor do I criticize anybody 'coz I do not know what the other person is/was caught up in. In a nutshell, I do not waste my energy on this stuff. And, I am meticulous in whatever work I am given to do. These are a few things that I am proud of. Well, coming back to the book in re...

Kshema's 7 Quick Takes Friday (Volume 10)

--- 1 --- Here I am this is me There's no where else on Earth I'd rather be Here I am it's just me and you And tonight we make our dreams come true It's a new world it's a new start It's alive with the beating of young hearts It's a new day it 's a new plan I've been waiting for you Here I am [Courtesy: Brian Adams] Yes, yes.... new academic session begins and every student whether new or returning will sing these words to his course of studies. The campus is already bright with freshman and the gleaming sophomores, juniors and seniors. The transformation in their feelings and attitudes as the freshman gradually climbs the ladder to a sophomore and so on, is interesting to observe. The freshman batch is mostly enthused and a bit more self disciplined in their dressing and demeanor. As they enter the next two levels, there is an air of reluctance. While in the graduating year there appears a mutual feeling of attachment...
