'First ever blessing!'

Dear Camy and Dany,

Congratulations! 

You are blessed 

to become parents now! 

This is the first ever 

blessing in the Bible: 

“Be fruitful and multiply…” 

In His great providence, 

God has given men and women 

a share in his creative power! 

And now you two are made 

instruments in this divine activity. 

On this great day 

let me quote for you 

a great verse from 

Kannadasan’s ‘Yesu Kaaviyam’: 

“Aandoru pillai aayiram peralaam; 

Yesuvai pola innoru pillai 

Isanai kette ini pera vendum.” 

Yes, let the child conceived 

be the one God willed 

for you and the world! 

May God give you both 

necessary grace to give birth 

to a child like Jesus 

who ‘increased in wisdom 

and in stature, and 

in favour with God and man.’ 

May you be praised 

like the mother/father of Jesus: 

‘Blessed is the womb that bore you…’ 

Be mindful of your great call 

to become parents and live accordingly 

to welcome God’s most precious gift 

to you and to the world.

Hereafter let your thoughts 

and even feelings be 

as pure as possible. 

Let no negative thoughts 

even cross your mind. 

Be positive and happy 

so that the child may take 

the world little more closer 

to a better future.

Read good books, 

listen good music 

and see good films 

and pictures as well 

as eat good food, 

sleep well and 

certainly have enough 

exercises, preferably work at home.

We are all praying for you both 

and the sweet child to visit us all 

in due time. 

May God bless you both 

and child conceived. 

Expectantly,

maaman.

A dream come true like...

People seemingly thought that i was an advocate! At last in the 'Sunday Shalom' of 19.02.2012, Mr. Jerald Miranda compiling his interview with me on Justice Sunday, introduced me as advocate fr. pancretius, parish priest, assumption church, thycaud! 

And that seemed to be a wish which got realized yesterday when along with some 243 of LL. B graduates i enrolled myself as an advocate in the Kerala State Bar Council at the Kerala High Court auditorium at about 12.15 p.m. The Enrollment ceremony was presided by the Bar Council President and Mr. K. M. Joseph, Justice at the Kerala High Court was the chief guest who presented us with the Enrollment Certificate. And officially i became an advocate, though the enrollment number will only be send to us after a day or two by post. 

Today went to Advocate Celine Wilfred's office as junior along with my friend Mr. Mohan Kumar. She is one of the senior most advocates of Trivandrum Bar Council and was the Government Pleader for almost 15 years, even in the Left Government. She is one of the leading criminal lawyers here. She asked us to go on Wednesday, 12th September to sign and submit 'Vakkalat.' That indeed was a good news for both of us.

However, we wanted to enter some court today itself and went to the Chief District and Sessions Court, but the court seemed to have been wound up. Hence went to the I Addl. District and Sessions Court presided by Ms. K. P. Indira. It was at about 12.45 p.m. 

I must strive my best to get justice done to the otherwise unprivileged and under privileged ones, as justice seemed to be God's concern always and everywhere. No one should be denied of justice, especially the poor and the exploited. May i get enough strength to help and guide people to avail justice in time for 'justice denied is justice delayed.' May each and everyone who enrolled today and all the advocates all over, be an effective instrument in the hands of goddess of justice to bring about justice and thereby peace and prosperity. 

Besides this we have also registered for LL. M at the MG university as distant education students. 

Religion...

'Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.' [anonymous - quoted by Badri Raina in 'Analyse this - 'Piety and religiosity are not guarantee against wrongdoing' in the OP-ED page of the Hindu, Thursday, September 6, 2012]

Religions have much to safeguard for themselves than the claims they put forward for their so-called followers. No religion was found by the so-called founders, but by their unworthy followers who wanted to exploit the good will and charism of the propounder of the new 'way.' They first try to confine god to their whims and fancies in the very name of god himself. Gods are almost prisoners of religions and that is being justified by the so-called scriptures which even that gods won't dare to change or challenge for that matter.

Gods should be more than the air, rain and shine which is so universal. But the pity is that they are taken hold of by a sect, small or bigger and in their names wars are fought and people are killed and property destroyed. How come gods have name and form for that matter! Why at all gods should incarnate? If at all they incarnated they lived lives which no religion upholds.

Religions have caused enough damage to the history and heritage of mankind. It is a power tool invented so ingeniusly. It seems to be an opium without which the poor can't manage, in spite of its burdening trend and tendencies.
