Dear .........
On one Tuesday,around 5:30 i was rushing to the group (Njaan groupil ennum oru latecomer aayirunnu... ) Step irangi dhaa varunnu Divya kozhikode,Oru 50 Paise white cover okke pidichu…”Da groupil aarumilla ”, “ njaanum arrengilum undo ennariyaan vannatha”…Aval vaachaalaayi… She gave her cover to me and told...” Ithu 3 choru pothiyaanu,njanum shantiyum sheenayum ippol oru neram food mathiyaakki” ,we are giving to those who needed…ee paripaadi thudangiyittu oru week aayi…” veendum vaachala aayi..Valla diet control oh matto aano..ennu njaan ..Ko ko ke ke ke ko ko ennoru chiriyum ( smile resembles to..)Subin ,time was up ..i was going back to hostel…shall u do 1 favor…ee pothi townil aarkkengilum kodukkamo…njaan vettilaayi…


After 6’0 clock I used to walk up to Cheriya palli…Usually, the thoughts flashing through my mind while walking up to there were…
1)EVM hostelinte valavu thiriyumbam valla bus idikkumo..
2)PMS workshop kaarkku ethra bus undu…1,2,3….( I am counting)
3)Classmates girls varunnu,njaan vadakkotu thala thirichu pidichu ( Inferiority complex)
4)Jawaher theateril puthiya padam irangiyo..
5) Shake shopil njaan kayarillel , shop pooti pokumo..( enthoru concern)
6)Bridgeil kayarumbol …paalam collapse aakumo…chuma nadukku ethumbol aarum kaanathe onnu aanju kulukki nokkarundaayirunnu. ..


Coverum pidichu njaan nadakkan thudangi….searching for the hunger ones..( story continues)

But on that day. My thought was focused on the people who were not taking food…first time in my life..I even don’t know what are the gestures of the hunger… Don’t know what is the holy wounds of these people….How to find out…real dilemma…

1) Near the police station I saw one man (cripple),walking as if drunkard I caught him and told..
Chetta bhakshanam kazhicho…illa ennoru dhayaneeya marupadiyum

Oru pothi kayiil vachu koduthu…

2) Infront of the dharmagiri there was one old woman sitting and always chelachondu nadakkum….

Ammoomakkum oru pothi koduthu…She smiled at me…

3) At the first step towards valiyapalli there were one family sitting…gave the food and went back to hostel…

Dear JY’s

Volley ball practice & match: Ithayirunnu a kaalangalil( 3rd n 4th Sem) undayirunna evening time pass…

Venue: Back of firestation (Vellam cheetan okke njangalkku cheriya practice okke Fire police thanirunnu…)

Time: 5:00-6:00p.m

JY choose me as a special Guest(pretheyka shenithavu) appearance in the core meetings…But the time was not matched with my volleyball matches…So I forced to set the priority..At last I decided to continue with Volley ball matches…njan ente decision vrithiaayi nadappakukayum cheythu..For the next two or three weeks I didn’t go to Core.. “Evane engane vital pattilla ennu thoniya” Chanchal,Renil, Anto Team Firestation athikramichu kayari vannu Enne oru dhivasam pokki..( naduvil Thokkum(1) mattum pidichu Chanchalji). .

Later I became regular in the core and went smoothly…During those days core suggested to start prayers in the hostels..Me, Jobin,pratish (from firehouse)were in the core and decided to start prayer in Firehouse..

Fire house was a well furnished House, I mean ‘nalla’ vrithyulla…

PrayerTime : 9:00 pm
Prayer room: Thomas( we call him Adu thoma) room: Very small;
Prayer Structure : Same as in the group
Extra Fittings:Prayer requests,Our shortcomings, Spiritual doubts;Personal life,My view about you…
Regular Faces: Jobin, Pratish, Thomas, Ajeesh, Roopak, Subin

On one prayer time, after singing some songs…I asked to close the eyes and be in silence…I sat very comfortly by sitting close to the wall…….and closed the eyes…time is running n running n…..

After 1 hour: I heard the call Eda Subine,Eda subine…( Not like Samuel in Old testament) . Njan 'SILENCE'il ninnum unarnnu…
“Entha silence mathiyakkiyo” ennu njan…”Alla nee onnum arinjille, njangalu thanne lead cheythu..Bibleum vayichu ,2 paatum paadi,personal sharingum kazhinju…Alla nee ithonnum arinjille…” ennu Jobin

Njangallu vicharichu nee valla 'Deep Meditation'ilum ayirikkum ennu..Atha ithuvare vilikkathirunathu …Ah Nee “Deep Sleepil” aayirunnu alle.. Ennu Thomas( Backgroundil bhayangara kootachiri)

Annathe Volleyball matchine pazhiparanju njaan oruvitham thadithappi…( Athinte Chammal moonu naalu “hostel prayeril” nizhalichirunnu! !)

For the next prayers they gave me some other place to sit…and avoid silent prayer( sleep) from our schedule…

But Now I know ,Our Night small prayer groups were the curdle of our Faith n Relation

Dress code: Jubba & black pants for male
Rose churidar for female
Music got some big applause from the audience...

Bible was read by Rachel ( 2005) from Luke ...

Mr.Tojo(2003) and Mr.George(2004) did some cute audiovisulas. ..
Theme: Tojo was leading George to the begining of the Life...and narrated the complete bible...2005 passouts did some good show on the stage (annu ee batch 1&2 aayirunnu...

Fr.Vadakkemuryum cheerakrishiyum

Who all cultivate more varieties of Cheera,I will give a prize money of Rs.500"

Extract from the speech by
Fr.Vadakkemury
Infarm director
Venue:Community hall, Mvtpzha
/ 02/2004

Dear Readers

Sr.Francia.. ...

Profile: Social Worker

Member of Dharmagiri sisters community,kothamang alam

Idukki(Hometown) ...

Those days,we, JY were came in touch with Sr.Francia(First we met Sister on a Program which JYMACE did for Vikas Inmates)...We exchanged our ideas with her on Outreaches.. .she gave some new dimensions on the matter....

I am trying to put one of my outreach experiance with her.....

Vikas is a charitable institution run by Dharmagiri Sisters....They supported the people to built their own community... .Near Muvattupuzha there was a small colony where people who earn for their living with their physique...very hard working people..We planned to rech out to them...

JY social Engineers gathered, and prepared one datasheet in which some querys related to their lifestyles,earnings ,expectations, needs,health status...so on...
Emi,Jimesh,Jobin, Tintu,sebin, subin,lea, Sr francia went to the colony, we splitted up in to groups and gathered information from the colony people...we saw the troubled lives very near to our eyes...they shared their needs,their stories ...some people don't have well of their own ...struggle to give enough education to their kids..aa chemmna mannu niranja roadilude nadannapol.. we realised how much more HE provided to us...Sebinte vaakukal idariyathum. .oro veedinte situations kandu Aarudeokke kannu niranjathum okke...kannu thurannu kanedathu thanne...

Sister's Observation:Women in the colony have nothing to contribute to their Family...Chumma "Sora" paranju irikkuvaanennu( Athaayethu kothiyum nunayum paranju jeevitham thallineekkunnu) ...Engnae ivare pani edippikkum?. ..

We planned for a seminar for woman empowerment and how they can fruitfully utilise their time...Tintu told Fr.vadakkemury is her realtive (Infarm Director) .. He can teach 'how to make Paper covers? Idea was widely accepted and the seminar was conducted on their community hall...Rev.father taught about Cover making, Effective cultivation. ..Smart utlilsation of land..and so on...Woman of the community was so much impressed by Father's good jokes and he gave some encouragements in cultivation. ...

"Who all cultivate more varieties of Cheera,I will give a prize money of Rs.500"...Around 30 woman attended the workshop...

Time was around 5pm, we packed up and have a light snacks sponserd by Puthumana

We went back to our hostels with joy in the Heart

They were very much excited and implemented the ideas...Then you know how much variety of 'Cheera' they cultivated ,around 16 varieties.( I heard only 2 varietes 1) aa majenthayum 2) Green cheerayum) .But still the prize money is pending...they are waiting for it...Check with Sr.Francia.. .

With Love
Subin
