Chocolate day 2013
The Luscious Chocolate Treat
No wonder why women get so excited when it comes to Valentine week. 9th February is viewed as theChocolate Day.
The tantalising fantasy chocolate fills the market with its sweet
smell. It is cruel to keep your girl away from the deep brown treats.
The day gives you another opportunity to stay close to your partner. And
after the Propose Day, chocolate seems to be the appropriate gift to
please each other.
Dark Chocolate, Gourmet Chocolate, Bars, your lady knows it all! What is
special about the chocolates you see every day at the grocery store?
Nothing. Devote your time and take a little hardship to find the real
deal, the exotic flavour and for that matter an online search can help
you. Your deary would really appreciate your efforts.
Watching “Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory” with a bowl of
chocolate chip cookies is a bad idea! There is no intention to fatten
her up. Choose the right chocolate. If she is a little health conscious,
dark chocolates would be a nice deal.
Surprise her with a tour of a chocolate factory! It would be an ecstatic
experience she would love to remember. If there are no factories
nearby, do not feel disheartened. Try preparing a chocolate cake or gift
her coolest gadget of the time, the chocolate fountain! If she has a
sweet tooth for cocoa product, she would crave for it opening up her
present.
What is good about a chocolate spa is that it brings calmness to the
body and it charges up your beloved’s libidos as she gets the idea of
it. She is for a treat and you are now the most romantic man she has
ever met! The day cannot get more exciting.
A beautiful message with a box of shaped chocolates is like cherry on
the cake. Complimenting and appreciating her affection with a gift would
make her entire day and would fortify the bond between the couple. If
things went perfectly, you will end up the day on a fruitful note.
So guys give deliciois chocolates to your partners, and make them happy,

Sunday Blessings - Moonlight
After service everyone was served hot, sweet milky chai (tea) with sweet biscuits and samosas ( fried snack). We stayed on meeting people, having fellowship. Even Sheeba joined in playing the children. Returned home just before 3 PM. God is good.
The moon like a flower
In heaven 's high bower,
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night.

Republic Day
In Chapter 25 of his book "Why are we backward?" Dr Vishal Mangalwadi observes that on this day India did what God commanded Moses to do in the Old Testament...govern the country according to the law and not according to man.
Happy Republic Day
I watched the grand Republic Day Parade telecast live from New Delhi. It is a colourful and impressive display of our nation 's military strength, progress and development in various fields , art and culture encompassing different religious and ethnic streams.
Tomorrow is the second holy bathing day at the Hindu festival of the Mahakumbh on the banks of River Ganga. Thousands of pilgrims are pouring into our city to camp on the river banks to take a sin purging dip in the river at the auspicious time. People believe their sins will be washed away by Mother Ganga and they will attain salvation , moksha or nirvana through this holy act.
Thousands of security and infra structure etc. workers have come here from all over our state and neighbouring states to smoothly run the activities in the pilgrim city on the river banks.
Some Christian people working in the railways and police department visit our church for worship and Bible study.They are here only for a month or two and will return to their hometowns once their duty in Sangam city is over.
Today I met Police Sub Inspector Santosh who has been coming to our church for fellowship in his off duty hours. I was so thrilled to hear his testimony and what God is doing in his hometown.
He told us that his father was the village Pandit , or man of learning and people used to come to him to study the Hindu Scriptures. One day Santosh took a pastor to meet him. When the pastor explained the way of salvation , the elderly man was taken by surprise. No one had told him things found in the Bible. A seed of faith was sown in his heart which later took root leading him to the Way, the Truth and the Life.

For those who could not raise a Taj Mahal for their beloved
Albert Godwin, 1896
Taj Mahal
A poem by Sahir Ludhianavi ( esteemed Indian poet and lyricist)
The Taj, mayhap, to you may seem, a mark of love supreme
You may hold this beauteous vale in great esteem;
Yet, my love, meet me hence at some other place!
How odd for the poor folk to frequent royal resorts;
‘Tis strange that the amorous souls should tread the regal paths
Trodden once by mighty kings and their proud consorts.
Behind the facade of love my dear, you had better seen,
The marks of imperial might that herein lie screen
You who take delight in tombs of kings deceased,
Should have seen the hutments dark where you and I did wean.
Countless men in this world must have loved and gone,
Who would say their loves weren’t truthful or strong?
But in the name of their loves, no memorial is raised
For they too, like you and me, belonged to the common throng.
These structures and sepulchres, these ramparts and forts,
These relics of the mighty dead are, in fact, no more
Than the cancerous tumours on the face of earth,
Fattened on our ancestor’s very blood and bones.
They too must have loved, my love, whose hands had made,
This marble monument, nicely chiselled and shaped
But their dear ones lived and died, unhonoured, unknown,
None burnt even a taper on their lowly graves.
This bank of Jamuna, this edifice, these groves and lawns,
These carved walls and doors, arches and alcoves,
An emperor on the strength of wealth, Has played with us a cruel joke.
Meet me hence, my love, at some other place.

Spiritual Bath - Allahabad Kumbh Mela
India's Hindu Kumbh Mela festival begins in Allahabad
India's Kumbh Mela festival begins
Several million people have been bathing at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers at Allahabad in India, on the opening day of the Kumbh Mela festival.
At least 10 million pilgrims are set to do so by the end of the day.
The event, every 12 years, is billed as the biggest gathering on Earth. More than 100 million people are expected to attend the 55-day festival.
Hindus believe a festival dip will cleanse sins and help bring salvation.
In 2001, more than 40 million people gathered on the main bathing day of the festival, breaking a record for the biggest human gathering.
Sprint to waters
The festival formally started at dawn on Monday. All roads leading to the Kumbh Mela grounds are packed with hundreds of thousands of pilgrims.
Continue reading the main story 
Kumbh Mela in numbers
- Visitors: 80-100 million
- Number of days: 55
- Area: 20 sq km (4,932 acres)
- Drinking water: 80 million litres
- Toilets: 35,000
- Doctors: 243
- Police: 30,000
There was a chill in the air as holy men sprinted into the waters in Allahabad, but the day dawned warmer than in recent weeks when a cold snap hit northern India.
Police estimated that by early afternoon about four million people had bathed.
For many at the festival, one of the most memorable spectacles of the day was when the Naga sadhus, or ascetics, sprinted into the river reciting religious chants, many clad only in marigold garlands.
The naked ash-smeared men arrived in a colourful procession and waded into the chilly waters of Sangam - the point at which the rivers converge.
The Kumbh Mela has its origins in Hindu mythology - many believe that when gods and demons fought over a pitcher of nectar, a few drops fell in the cities of Allahabad, Nasik, Ujjain and Haridwar - the four places where the Kumbh festival has been held for centuries.
Teams are managing crowds on the river bank - as soon as pilgrims finishing bathing, they are encouraged to move away and make space for other bathers.
"I have washed off my sins," Mandita Panna, a resident of Nepal and an early bather, said.
Allahabad has been preparing for the festival for months and a vast tented city has grown up around the river.
Fourteen temporary hospitals have been set up with 243 doctors deployed round-the-clock, and more than 40,000 toilets have been built for the pilgrims.
Police checkpoints have been set up on all roads leading to Allahabad and about 30,000 policemen and security officials have been deployed to provide security during the festival.
The main attraction at the festival is the sadhus, the Hindu holy men Tens of thousands of men, women and children have set up camp on the white sands of the river front.
On Sunday night, smoke could be seen rising from hundreds of small fires which people had built to cook dinner or keep warm.
One of the main attractions at the festival is the sadhus - Hindu holy men - who have been leading processions accompanied by elephants, camels, horses, chariots and music bands in recent days.
Health concerns
The festival has prompted health concerns, however, with campaigners warning that the river waters are heavily polluted.
Most pilgrims drink a few drops of the Ganges water and many fill bottles to take home with them.
Authorities say they have taken steps to address the concerns.
Last week, companies along the banks of the Ganges and Yamuna were warned against discharging any pollutants into the waters.
Hindus believe a festival dip will cleanse sins and help bring salvation Reservoirs upstream have been ordered to discharge fresh water into the rivers ahead of the six big bathing days, and the festival authorities have declared the Kumbh Mela area a plastic-free zone.
The Kumbh Mela, which is costing the authorities 11.5bn rupees ($210m; £130m) to organise, is expected to generate business worth at least 120bn rupees, according to a report by India's Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Assocham).
The report says that the festival is also expected to draw over a million foreign tourists.

Three for $1
A grocer put up a sign that read: "Eggplants, 25¢ ea. Three for $1."
All day long, customers came in exclaiming: "Don't be ridiculous! I should get four for a dollar!"
Meekly the grocer capitulated and packaged four eggplants. The tailor next door had been watching these antics and finally asked the grocer, "Aren't you going to fix the mistake on your sign?"
"What mistake?" the grocer asked. "Before I put up that sign, no one ever bought more than one eggplant." (Cybersalt Digest)
