Brewed Season of Oceans Apart

I am really pleased when I am around you.

I adore you as a person of simplicity.

I am fascinated by your touches and kisses.

I enjoy every moment being with you.

I am grateful for knowing you.

I want you to feel the same too.

Warm feelings come to me whenever,

your air surrounds me with your bodily scent.

I feel joy when I am in your arms and warmth.

I intend to be with you for a long time.

You have shown me love none other has,

especially when I was about to give up forever.

My purpose is to complement and complete,

each other and look far ahead with a goal.

But now it all seems seven feet apart,

not knowing what lies ahead beyond our fate.

My life has been a trajectories of 

continuous roller-coaster episodes.

I am drawing nearer to the depths of the tunnel,

hoping for some light at the end of it.

There is still hope for miracles to happen,

accompanied by Allah's wishes and blessings.

Only You

You are mine and only,
My human diary and RAM, 
and my other half.
You mean the world to me.
And, when I say that 
I Love You, I am saying

"Thank You" for being
who you are for being 
part of my life, and 
touching my Heart.

If There Are No Heroes To Save You, Then You Be The HERO!

What to do in a relationship when the person you love is also the person you fear? It is important to see the relationship especially if it is an abusive one. Abusive relationships re not healthy relationships. They are dangerous. The common term is "toxic". 

Abuse is all about power and control. The person doing the abuse (abuser/0 exert their power by doing what they want. The more they learn they can get away with it, the more they do it. It is the same with physical abuse. Alcohol is not a reason for people to beat or harm their loved ones. It is an excuse so that they do not have to be held accountable for their behavior. Controllers, abusers, bullies and manipulative people do not question themselves. They do not ask themselves if the problem is them. They always say the problem is someone else. There will be sunny days but not always, it will start getting lesser and lesser. In the essence, one will lose their self in the process. It's better to be safe than sorry. 

Just because you leave your loved one, it doesn't mean you don't love them anymore. You can still love them from a far rather than be together and endure the pain. Times have changed, where women have a choice now to not remain in an abusive relationship, be it from a sibling, spouse, family or friends.

I'm KP saying, "Keep Firm and Throw Out The Abusers"! 

You Left With No Goodbyes

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, 

love leaves a memory no one can steal. 

We talk about them, not because we're stuck 

or because we haven't moved on, 

but we talk about them because we are theirs, 

and they are ours, and no passage of time will ever change that.

For me the loss of my mother was the defining moment in my life. 

It's very hard not to have a mother. She was a mother, a friend and a companion. 

She was always there when I needed her the most.

Today, marks exactly 2 solid years since you passed on, 

it's still fresh in my memory how traumatized I was holding you 

in my arms when you collapsed all of a sudden in the grounds of the hospital 

leaving me speechless and watching you blow your last breath right in front of my very eyes. 

Leaving me lost and devastated. It was an unforgettable flashback that still lingers on until today. 

Life has been an emotional struggle without your presence. It's been hard!

Amma, could you come back and stay awhile, 

I want to hear your voice and see you smile. 

I want to hold you tight and never let go. 

And, tell you how much I love you so and miss you.

Rest in peace Queen of my heart and Blessed Happy 2nd Memorial. 22/10/2017.

Listen To Your Heart ~ It Never Fails You

Behavior is a mirror in which every one displays his own image,
We judge others by their behavior,
We judge ourselves by our intentions,
We choose what attitudes we have right now,
And it’s a continuing choice,

Believe passionately in what you do,
and never knowingly compromise your standards and values,
And whatever you do, do it heartily,
Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway,
Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude,
Professionalism has nothing to do with getting paid for your services,
But it's important to always keep professional and surround yourself with good people.

Godosphere For Miracle

Poor Leadership Leads to High Staff Turnover

“Employees don’t simply leave because of the organization, but they leave because of their bosses!”

Coming from a knowledgeable HR background of 12 years, it is disheartening to note that most HR Departments favor the employers more rather than the employees. High turnover shows that something is wrong with the personnel policies of an organization or their negative perceptions.

When too many employees leave within a short period of time, then it’s time to re-look at the leader!

Instead, many a times, it’s the employee that gets the final blow and not the employer. He or she either resigns due to the immense pressure or gets ceased by the organization. 

In the case, where a conflict of interest arises and leads to termination or dismissal of service; the boss has already come to a conclusion to rid the employee, he will then go all out to ensure that the employee leaves the organization the soonest possible and will resort to avenues that will encompass towards it. Ever heard of the saying, “birds of a feather flock together”; well, all because the employee was not a ‘YES’ man and happened to be the odd-one-out! 

And, it never rests there! Why I’m saying this is because I was a once a “victim of constructive dismissal”. I was terribly victimized but I never gave up. With the guidance and support from my dad who was from a legal background. He certainly was an encouraging source of motivating factor. He taught me to be bold and always fight for my rights when it was necessary and most importantly in an amicable manner. 

And that’s exactly what I did, and not forgetting, with the knowledge from my lecturer at university, Dr. George Koshy that stirred the interest and thirst within myself. I managed to build up courage and confidence to file a labor lawsuit against my employers. I finally won the case and was compensated. Hence, that prompted me further to take up a study in the field of Human Resources to have an in-depth knowledge and understanding, as well as to be able to provide valuable advice to victimized employees. 

Remember, never be afraid to voice out your concerns and always be sure to ask the necessary relevant questions during an interview; after all, that is what an interview is all about so that you do not feel cheated at the end of the day while you’re in service; and come to realize that things weren’t the same as what was negotiated during the interview. Be cautious as there will always be a hidden clause in the contract of service that you probably would have not gave much focus on! Take a cue!!!!

Love Envisage

A true relationship,
never hides secrets,
from a person who
can read from your eyes,
because the one who
reads your eyes is always
expert in reading your heart.

Attraction is the temporary love.
But love is the permanent attraction.
Just a game of words.
But makes a lot of difference in life.

How I wish I could turn back time,
to the days when everything was fine.
When our thoughts were raw and fresh,
and life played a different role in mind.

Even if you cannot shape your life
as you want it, at least try this
as much as you can, do not debase it
in excessive contact with the world
in the excessive movements and talk.

As I sit alone in my room tonight.
It sure is a change from past.
Changes have come and loneliness fades.
When I learn to accept the choices we made.
They would teach you something new everyday.
And help you find success in everyway.

When You Can't Feel God's Presence

In life, we face many things as each day passes by. Struggles, battles, victories, successes, guilt, frustrations, joy and many more, hence, we only need to be thankful to God that all of these surpasses our conditions at times without even us knowing it; for a fact that God had intervened and taken care of our trials and tribulations. 

Sometimes, have you ever wondered what does God’s presence feel like? Well, it has always been a wonder on my mind. Some of you may have felt it a couple of times without knowing the sweet presence of God and some may have not felt it but knew God’s presence was revealed through certain actions and situations. But all you can know is everything happens for a reason.

For example, losing your job, meeting a new friend, falling ill are never mistakes that takes place in one’s life instances but it is a command from God to channel our direction better! Have you ever detected God’s presence so prominent when you’re in His house? Well, I certainly do, I always feel a sense of joy, peace and tranquility especially when I attend the 7:00 am mass at my parish on Sundays. The presence of God can be so inviting that you could just feel God’s coming. 

Also, from my personal experience, I have realized that to feel the presence of God and be able to invite God’s coming into our life is very simple. All you need to do is put in practice some of the simple ways in which I have been practicing all my life. Firstly, you need to come clean with Him by confessing all of your sins and asking for God’s mercy upon us. Next, put into the habit of reading scriptures aloud; picking your favorite scripture for the day and meditating upon it. Someone who loves singing and humming tunes as well as being able to play a musical instrument just like me, can sing Him a Love Song right from the depth of your heart to delight the Lord. Also, saying His name several times in a day is a powerful prayer point that can be nourishing to your soul because God almighty is powerful. Besides, what I normally do when I’m all by myself is I take a walk, with a deep breath and choose to say a breath prayer like, “Jesus, I need you” or “The Lord is my shepherd” or “I love you, Jesus”, which are some of my favorites, and it helps rebuild my strength in faith and push forth my courage to move on.

So, whatever you may be going through or experiencing at this very point of time in life, just take a second or two to know that God is with you and in you. Even if you may not feel His presence deeply and strongly, He is watching over you all the time and just as the saying goes, “doubt your doubts, and believe your beliefs”, just keep trusting in the Lord, worshiping, praising and increasing your faith because someday He will splash out surprises that you could never had imagined in your lifetime! Amen ....

Coming Together as a BEC

"BEC's are giving me permission to say 'hello' to people. It helped me realize that the church is about reaching out to people. It has given me a freedom to approach others and get to know them which is something Catholics do not do very easily. It has made me more confident to say 'hello' and as you hear more people's stories and find out more about them, you can ask about how things are going in their lives."

Coming together as a BEC is very important especially to enrich a common commitment to outreach missionary works and services. Being part of a BEC is essential not only to build community at a more basic level but also to further foster collaboration amongst members towards a great communal dimension in the Catholic faith as one family. BECs are centres for complete Christian formation. The monthly BEC Reflection Paper encourages life issues to be brought forth and discussed in the light of the Gospel. Belonging to a community calls us to share and place our talents at the service of others as how Jesus formed a community that would be a sign of his love for the universe. Whatever differences should be kept aside; instead we should unite to come together and be a living sign of God's presence in today's world. And this virtue can only be practised in our BECs promoting towards a NEW WAY of Belonging to God and a NEW WAY of Being Church.
