At the feet of Jesus

Dr Angel Cham Philip

Let us not have the heart of Martha,

Who welcomed Jesus home ,

Wanting to treat Him well,

She hustled and bustled without rest;

Distracted, busy and bitter at heart ,

She chose many a thing,

Yet not the part that mattered.


Let us have the heart of Mary,

Who saw Jesus was home,

At the feet of Jesus she sat,

Treasuring His words in her heart;

She chose the only good part,

The one thing that mattered

which shall not be taken from her.


Let us not have a troubled heart,

Weighed down by chores and woes,

Forget not that Jesus is home,

Learn to rest at His feet; 

Listen and treasure His word,

Choose Him, the only good portion

which shall not be taken away.

And now day by day she is becoming darker. You doctors kept her under such strong lights for jaundice, but you never told us that our baby wil...

LANGUAGE – FOR LOVE OR HATRED?

Image
The original intention of language has always been communication and self-expression. Language has evolved considerably throughout history, from sign languages in the ancient ages to the colloquial lingos uttered by the Generation Z. Pondering upon the diversity of languages across the globe is both humbling and exhilarating. It is diversity that makes life on earth both fascinating and riveting. India has always stood tall for unity in diversity. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, and Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh, there is no dearth for diversity in culture, complexion, food and language. India ranks fourth in the list of countries with maximum number of indigenous languages, with a whopping number of 453! I have always been proud of this inclusivity and unity in India. And this pride has wilted today, after hearing about the recent events in my alma mater, Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute (BMCRI), Bangalore. For those who are unaware, ...
