In my pain I will yet praise the Lord!!!!

Yes HE did it and well ahead in time......with my marriage nearing in a week,I was left without my passport till today morning.I was left with a sense of hoplessness and some very anxious moments....but I knew not the UK Border agency,nor my employers can turn the situation around....but only my GOD Jesus would turn it around....with very little bit of faith and a crying confession prayer it all started and HE did listen to me..
JESUS Says : For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. ( Jeremiah 29:11 )

For all of you who are in such hopless,uncertain situations please run to HIM,only HE can bring you out of it.The unexpected heavy snow in London had halted heathrow airport and am supposed to travel on Friday,with no signs of Snow fall stopping and news of more and more flights getting cancelled....I have pinned my hopes on Jesus...HE will take me home and I will praise HIS name....though Satan plants seeds of doubts on my mind,the fear or missing my wedding....GOD will make a way where there seems to be now way



Thanks GOD.....I will sing I will praise
Even in my darkest hour
Through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing I will praise
Lift my hands to honor You
Because Your Word is true
I will sing

What Faith can do ???

Just passing through one of the most stressful stretch of days in my life.A feeling of hoplessness,uncertainity and fear has creeped in,the situation and the events happening around me are not encouraging either....faith is at all time low....finding it hard to find the strength to rise....the verse 'He who trusts in Lord will prosper' Proverbs 28:25 keeps me going.I really hope I will be able to blog soon how GOD rescued me out of this situation.

This lovely song is all I keep on playing for the moment.



What Faith Can Do Lyrics

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you're stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

Overcome the odds
You don't have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
That's what faith can do!
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise


I will have the strength to rise!!!!!

Travel Logs

After a lot of lazy postponement I decided to blog my travels,not because I felt the need to upload the pics but to kill my boredom.The recent pox I had kept me indoors for almost 15 days and TV,internet,books couldn't stop the boredom.

I found this quote very interesting and it did coincide and surprisingly fit with my blisters thanks to the pox

"Boredom is like a pitiless zooming in on the epidermis of time. Every instant is dilated and magnified like the pores of the face."

Ok let me not bore you...here it goes its a collection of fotos which starts from my visit to Saudi Arabia,Dubai,London and Ireland.

Burj Al Arab

Burj Al Arab is the world's second tallest hotel.The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island on the Jumeira Beach.It was built to resemble the sail of a dhow, a type of Arabian vessel. Two "wings" spread in a V to form a vast "mast", while the space between them is enclosed in a massive atrium.Tiger woods famouly played golf on helipad of burj al arab



Burj Khalifa

Burj Khalifa also known as Burj Dubai prior to its inauguration, is a skyscraper in Dubai and the tallest man-made structure ever built in the world.I took this photo one year priot to its inaguration or to precise when it was called Burj Dubai.One has to feel sorry for the thousands of Asian labourers who shed their blood and sweat to build this.They were underpaid and at times never paid.According to a BBC investigation and a Human Rights Watch report, the workers were housed in abysmal conditions, their pay was often withheld, their passports were confiscated by their employers, and they were working in hazardous conditions that resulted in an apparently high number of deaths and injuries on site.

Atlantis, The Palm

Atlantis, the Palm is a resort at Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.The resort consists of two towers linked by a bridge.The seven stars resort also includes a water Aquaventure theme park,Dolphin Bay and the highlight being a 1 million lite aquarium housing a female whaleshark.

Guess who's back.....Shady's back with "Recovery".

Eminem aka Slim Shady is back with a bang with his new album "Recovery"...the best song out of the album is "Not Afraid" where he starts of apologizing to his fans for his previous album which was a disappointment considering his standards..Eminem admits he's been in a slump: "I just wanna thank everybody for bein' so patient, bearin' with me over these last couple of years while I figure this shit out."

This is the sound of the man getting off the pills, trying to handle his personal demons, attempting to recapture his lost glory. For a fan, it's heartening to hear him drawing attention to his past failures and attempting to correct his failures



Lyrics


I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road

(Intro)

Yeah, It's been a ride...
I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one
Now some of you might still be in that place
If you're trying to get out, just follow me
I'll get you there

(Verse 1)

You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em
But you won't take this thing out these words before I say 'em
Cause ain't no way I'm let you stop me from causing mayhem
When I say 'em or do something I do it, I don't give a damn
What you think, I'm doing this for me, so fuck the world
Feed it beans, it's gassed up, if a thing's stopping me
I'mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony
No if ands or buts don't try to ask him why or how can he
From Infinite down to the last Relapse album he's still shit and
Whether he's on salary, paid hourly
Until he bows out or he shit's his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
He's married to the game, like a fuck you for christmas
His gift is a curse, forget the earth he's got the urge
To pull his dick from the dirt and fuck the universe

Rock Ballads

One of the reasons I love and listen rock music is the guitar. Guitar is one of the greatest instruments ever made.It's not just an instrument...it's got a amazing amazing soul which connects to you.....

The world of music is entirely different these days its a all computerized techno music,rap,hip hop with no soul...its jus the beats.Each 80' rock ballad had a amazing story behind it.Beatles were the true founders of rock ballads they made the way for the amazing period of 70's to late 80's for other great bands to create their own magical ballads.Even the heaviest metal bands like Metallica,Judas Priest,Ozzy have their own ballads.

Recently i added few songs to my list of favorite songs here it goes.

Judas Priest - Before The Dawn



The Who - Behind Blue Eyes



Thin Lizzy-Whiskey in the jar



Few modern Power Love Ballads

HIM- Killing Loneliness




Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars



Tokio Hotel Monsoon

Why did Jesus say, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

It was Good Friday morning and I woke up @ 10 in the morning,its been a years since I attended a Good Friday service @ church.But I can still remember my numerous Good Friday services I attended in my early days, the long sessions,pastors & priests preaching on The Last Supper,the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, the arrest of Jesus after his betrayal by Judas, the examination and condemnation of Jesus by the Jews,the trial before Pilate during which Jesus is sentenced to be whipped and crucified, the crucifixion of Jesus.

No Good Friday service goes without mention of the "Last Seven words of Jesus"

1) Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing (Luke 23:34)
2) I tell you this; today you shall be with me in Paradise (Luke 23:43) - Jesus said this to one of the criminals crucified with him
3) Mother, there is your son. Son, there is your mother (John 19:26)
4) My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? (Mark 15:34)
5) I thirst (John 19:28)
6) It is finished (John 19:30)
7) Father, into your hands I commit my spirit (Luke 23:46)



Though I have listened,pondered and read about these seven last words...never in my life did I question about any of those words....being a strong believer of Christ and His words..I just believe wot the Bible says....

Today after reading the last seven words accidentally in the BBC Good Friday special..I begin to think and research on the fourth word Jesus said "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? (Mark 15:34)".Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? ....

This one word is a pivot point for any atheist,non-christian to question Jesus and God as contradictory....most atheist claim and question the whole situation as it seems like Jesus has depended wholly on God to save him and is really being let down.Many athiest believe Jesus fell for the temptation of the devil...and questioned GOD of his plans to sacrifice him for the sins of mankind.

There are lot of conventional interpretation to Jesus words but there is only one truth and answer to all this....I started researching the scriptures and various interpretations of people on this word...

The Psalm Angle:

He was fulfilling a prophecy in Psalm 22

Psalm 22
Why Have You Forsaken Me?

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
2 my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.

Ps 22:15-19

Like water my life drains away; all my bones grow soft.
My heart has become like wax, it melts away within me.
As dry as a potsherd is my throat; my tongue sticks to my palate; you lay me in the dust of death.
Many dogs surround me; a pack of evildoers closes in on me.
So wasted are my hands and feet that I can count all my bones.
They stare at me and gloat; they divide my garments among them; for my clothing they cast lots.

This is also the prophesy foretold hundreds of years before Jesus was crucified on the cross.This prophesied Jesus being crucified and even explained what the Roman Sanitarians did with the garments.



Psalm 22 was written about 600 years before Christ was born. At that time, crucifixion had not yet been invented. Actually, the Phoenicians developed it and Rome borrowed the agonizing means of execution from them. So, when Rome ruled over Israel, it became the Roman means of capital punishment imposed upon the Jews whose biblical means of execution was stoning. Nevertheless, Jesus is pointing to the scriptures to substantiate His messianic mission.

The Burden of sin

This was the most comprehensive answer to the question....

There is no doubt that God approved Jesus work. It is certain that He was innocent. He had done nothing to forfeit the favor of God. As His own Son - holy, harmless, undefiled, and obedient - God still loved Him. In none of these senses could God have forsaken Him

Isaiah Isaiah 53:4-5 says
He bore our griefs and carried our sorrows; that he was wounded for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities; that the chastisement of our peace was laid upon him; that by his stripes we are healed”

He was made a sin-offering, and He died in our place, on our account, that He might bring us near to God. It was this, doubtless, which caused His intense sufferings. It was the manifestation of God’s hatred of sin, in some way which He has not explained, that Jesus experienced in that terrible hour. It was suffering endured by Him that was due to us, and suffering by which, and by which alone, we can be saved from eternal death.



In those awful moments, Jesus was expressing His feelings of abandonment as God placed the sins of the world on Him – and because of that had to “turn away” from Jesus. As Jesus was feeling that weight of sin, He was experiencing separation from God for the only time in all of eternity.God the Father, who had been comforting and supporting Jesus through the trials of Gethsemane and Herod's and Pilate's court and the crucifixion, withdrew His spirit and support, so the atonement would be completely, totally that of Jesus Christ.

Jesus suffered the lost of his fathers power and our sins was the cause of it ! Jesus shows his love for the father by being obedient and die for our sins becoming that eternal sacrifice,and the father show his love by sending his son! and the son by giving us his spirit!and what did you and me do ????

Jesus became sin for us, so He felt the loneliness and abandonment that sin always produces, except that in His case, it was not His sin – it was ours.

Two of the fastest cars ever made!!!!

Thanks to Dave TV and ITV for their non stop episodes of Top Gear, I have fallen in love for my new found passion "Cars".Top gear is an amazing motoring show, with their cool presenters Jeremy Clarkson for his cool sense of humour,James May the "Captain Slow" for his funny laid back comments, James Hammond the "Hamster" and the anonymous "The Stig"

I jus love the show for the way they present it the detailed car reviews,the races,the funny and enduring challenges and the final one "Star in a reasonably priced car".The presenters travel to the most exotic and remote places of the earth to test the cars in enduring conditions

Top Gear @ North Pole



Now the topic of the fastest cars in the planet, the SSC Ultimate Aero and Buggatti Veron.These cars clock more than 400 kmph,thats freakin fast and I just cant fathom the thought of driving one of these cars.The fastest I have driven is 120 Kmph on a Maruti Esteem on the Chennai-Pondy highway.Four times faster than that...tht shud be a ultimate adrenal rush.

SSC Ultimate Aero

The SSC Ultimate Aero is amid-engine supercar by Shelby SuperCars.It is the fastest production car in the world, with a recorded speed of 256 mph (411.99 km/h) which was verified by Guiness Book of records to beat the previous record set by Buggatti Veyron.

Specifications
weight 1,293 kilograms
$650,000
0–96 km/h in 2.46
Top speed:256 mph (411.99 km/h)









Bugatti Veyron
The Bugatti Veyron EB is developed by the German car-manufacturer Volkswagen.The top speed was verified by James May on Top Gear.Two hundred and twenty Veyrons are known to have been built and delivered since production began in 2005 .For me Bugatti looks are royal and outscores SSC Aero in style.

Specifications

0-100km in 2.5 sec
Top speed 408.5 km/h (253.8 mph)
Price $1,700,000

Mossad @ its best in Dubai

Yet another clinical hit from Mossad, this time a fugitive who has been eluding them for years.Mahmoud al-Mabhouh a top Hamas military operation leader who lead the capture and execution of 2 Israeli soldiers back in 1989, from that day his fate was sealed and his life was at the mercy of Mossad Israel's and worlds most feared spy agency.

Mahmoud had already escaped two assasination attempts, the second one he was poisoned which left him unconscious for 30 hrs but not the third time mossad was more clinical this time.

Mahmoud was tracked, followed by 11 assasins carrying fake fradulent passports of from various European countries.Mahmoud was in Dubai for arms purchase for Hamas from Iran Revolutionary Guards.The assasins were very methodical they used encrypted communication devices to communicate among themselves, they entered his room 23o in Al Bustan Rotana hotel.

They reprogrammed the electronic lock to Mahmoud's room and waited for him to arrive. They killed him and left the country before the authorities could locate them.So far the Dubai police doesnt have a clue on the mode of his murder or reason for his death.They believe he was shocked,poisoned or suffocated to death.

As I write Dubai police have identified 15 more people as suspects to this operation and there is no evidence to point fingers at Mossad so far.As usual mossad government neither accepted or denied their involvement to Mahmouds death.The whole world has gone crazy about their action and calls for Mossads chief and Netanyuhu's arrest are increasing......has people gone crazy ...Mossad should be appreciated for wiping out another dangerous terrorist....if at all RAW could have its operatives trained through Mossad there wont be any Lakhvis,Dawoods and Hafiz Sayeed's roaming around freely.....

As Danny Yatom former head of Mossad said

"I think that no terrorist can enjoy any immunity and they should know that the free world will chase them if they continue to execute terror attacks"

Fear will continue to ring the ears of terrorists as long as Mossad is there.

The Diary of a young girl-Anne Frank

This was one book I was itching to read for a while...every time the name holocaust comes up Anne Frank and Schindler are the common characters that comes into the mind.I ordered the book over amazon, thanks to their quick delivery I got the book on the second day of placing the order...

I didn't start reading the book till I started my journey to Mumbai from London and yeah it helped me kill the long waiting time in both Heathrow and Mumbai airports....



The book starts with Anne's school days in Amsterdam, where she introduces us to her family and her friends.Ann got the diary for her thirteenth birthday and Kitty was the name of the diary.Kitty was her best friend throughout her rest of the journey until she was killed.Oh yeah the important thing Anne is a Jewish girl who had to go into hiding with her family so they are not killed by the Nazis.All of a sudden she had to move from her happy school life to hiding in a house which she called "Annexe".Anne's family and another fmly totalling to 8 individuals had to share this place to risk capture by the Nazi's

Anne pens down in her diary of her day to day life in Annexe her views on the world, her relationship with her mother and other inmates of Annexe.Any reader will feel and suffer with Anne in her moments of heart-thumping terror when noises are heard downstairs, her moments of frustration at the constant murmuring over food, and her moments of hope for the future where she sees a free world.Anne writes about how they survived, terrified they would be discovered, frustrated and fearful at their life in hiding.

Out of the eight in hiding in The Annex only her father survived the concentration camps, all the others died in captivity.Anne's dream was to become a published author, a feat she has now achieved.A must read for all and I cant wait to visit the Annexe where Anne lived during here hiding....GOD willing I can make a visit to Amsterdam

Impossible is Nothing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Admirably my favorite players of today , KAKA and Lionel Messi.Not only the most popular and talented players of today, what made me admire them most is their character, perseverance and commitment.

The two battled successfully career threatening injuries to become FIFA World Player of the Year.

KAKA at the age of 18 and at the peak of his Sao paulo stint had career-threatening injury, when the young Kaka slipped at a swimming pool fracturing his back. Not only did doctors believe he would never again play soccer, but they feared the worse, as the injury could easily lead to a paralysis.

Kaka managed to miraculously recover and even came back on the pitch the next season! Since then, grateful to God that He saved his life, Kaka donates one tenth of his yearly salary to the Brazilian Church. But the miracle didn't stop here. Just one year after recovering from his injuries Kaka drew the eyes of Brazil's national team staff. Making his debut for Brazil, Kaka was ready for a European career.

He won the FIFA World Cup with Brazil and he went on to join AC Milan and take them to Champions League glory and earned the FIFA player of the year award.

He tortured Liverpool in Athens. With heart on sleeve and slogan on chest, Kaká’s postmatch celebration in Athens on Wednesday night thrust his faith into the spotlight. “I belong to Jesus,” the statement said.


This is what KAKA has to say about his recovery from his career threatening injury
The doctors said that I was lucky to be able to walk normally,” he said. “They were talking about luck and my family was talking about God. We knew that it was His hand that had saved me.”


Lionel Messi started kicking the ball at an early age and when he was just 5 years old.Messi was already showing promise and he was considered a huge future talent, but unfortunately he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency that could be treated, but its cost would be around $700 per month and the Messi family simply did not have that kind of money..



Barcelona, who was already scouting him, learned of his problem and decided to help out and put the life of Leonel Messi back on its rightful track. Messi soon signed with Barcelona's youth team and moved to Spain for his treatment.Recovering from his growth deficiency problem, the Argentinean started playing regularly for Barcelona .


Despite his small frame,he was impressive and scored heavily, he went on become the youngest player to play for Barcelona.is most memorable match and the one that truly made him the big star that he is today was the El Clasico(Real madrid) .Lionel Messi goal will live long in the memory of the Barca fans as everyone talked for weeks about the 19 year old kid that brought Real Madrid to its knees.



He went on to take Barcelona to Champions League glory and in final bringing Man U to their knees and eventually win the FIFA player of the year.
