Calligraphy Trials
Tried Calligraphy 2 years back. I guess I will need more motivation to move forward. When I started this, was when the Kerala floods happened.

Happy birthday Kathryn Kuhlman
Kathryn Kuhlman
I have no words to describe this great woman of God. You just have to listen her once and you will be amazed. There is nobody like her on this Earth till now. She died in 1976. She was called the Miracle Lady and used to pour out herself at every service. Kathryn Johanna Kuhlman was born on May 9, 1907, in Concordia, Missouri. Her parents were German and she was one of four children. Kuhlman was converted, when she was 14, at an evangelistic meeting held in a small Methodist church. When she was 16 she graduated from high school, which only went to tenth grade in their town.
Few Quotes of hers:
"God is not looking for gold vessels or silver vessels. He is looking for willing vessels"
"Wherever you find real love, you will also find humility. Remember something: humility is not a weak and timid quality. Too often we feel that humility is a sign of weakness. This is not so. It is the sign of strength and security."
"Living with faith and courage is
something that life requires of
each of us.
Never, absolutely
never, give up! Never give in no
matter what!
Fight it through!
And I promise you something with
all of my heart-God will help you."
"The greatest human attainment in all the world is for a life to be so surrendered to Him that the name of God Almighty will be glorified through that life."
"I surrendered unto Him all there was of me; everything! Then for the first time I realized what it meant to have real power."
"I didn't have any looks, I didn't have any talent, and it was easy for me to say to the Lord, "I don't have anything." If you only knew where I came from ... this leetle-bitty town with no more than twelve hundred people in it. So ... anything I am today, He is the one who has done it."
"Any truth, no matter how valid, if emphasized to the exclusion of other truths of equal importance, is practical error."
"God does not patch up the old life,
or make certain repairs on the old life;
He gives a new life, through the new birth."
"I made a consecration of my life that I had never made before, when I saw that it was possible for me to so yield my life, my body, as a living sacrifice – a sacrifice so consecrated to Him that the name of God Almighty may be glorified through the life of a sinner saved by the grace of God. "
"Remember something, God never permitted a difficulty to come into our life without also giving us the ability to handle it. God has provided us with every faculty. He has given us the power that we need for living victoriously. It is a fact that everyone of us down deep has what it takes to successfully meet whatever life brings."

A small clip from her Autobiography when she went to visit her dad who died in a crash (whom she was very close with):
Sangla Valley Snapshots 2017
I was blessed and fortunate to visit Sangla Valley in the year 2017. Beautiful landscapes with Mountains, Valleys, Rivers and Stream. The Flora and Fauna of this place are unique. Sangla is a town in the Baspa Valley, also referred to as the Sangla valley, in the Kinnaur District of Himachal Pradesh, India, close to the Tibetan border. 3 places where we stayed are Reckong Peo, Rakcham and Chitkul. The walk to Roghi village is also a wonderful trekking experience. On my bucket list to visit this place once more.
Evolved Generation
Gone are the days when children used to enjoy the pleasure of reading books and writing letters. I remember when I was small I used to love writing letters and giving birthday cards to my friends. Those were the simple joys in life. The other way round too, I would love to receive letters and cards. Going to the Library and choosing a book was a thrilling experience. Even now passing by my School Library gets me excited.
Then came the concept of Ecards and Egreetings, you could choose one online card and add some personalized message and click the send button. Now it's just another message on Whatsapp with an Emoji of a cake or something else. Yes..... the Emojjis have landed. They have captured our emotions, so much, so that sometimes we are forced to use it even if we don't want to.😕
Soon Technology advanced, Social networking began.
Writing letters started fading...Why?? Coz we are no longer apart in connecting with our friends and family. The world has become smaller, we are in touch with them daily thanks to Whatsapp and FB and what not!!. There is nothing to look forward to, like waiting for the next letter or card, or receiving a telephone call from far away.
So what keeps the New Gen busy..............Their Phones of course
Making NEw videos, exploring New Apps, chatting with 'donno who is on the other end' , forwarding messages, listening to music, social networking, TIk TOking (where people ape others...kind of like a challenge)....and so on. Whatever they do has to be displayed to the World. Instagramming is in, calling up a friend is out. For some it might be a source of income for others it is just a way baosting or teasing. But what we get out of showcasing doesn't last long, unless there are ulterior motives. Its human nature to watch someone else's status and feel how awesome they are, but that is not the reality or possibly not the exact intention of the one who displays it.
Attention span of the New Gen has reduced, and its difficult for them to take their eyes off their phones, as they are already addicted. Going out to observe nature, or people is boring. Doing Art on paper is boring.Their lives are so busy that, they have no time or interest to read Biographies or Autobiographies, as they feel they are already creating success out of their own lives, or trying to prove that they are.What ever said, there is also a good side of this too, which I will definitely share soon,but right now I feel good, as it is off my chest.😂
Also, the above is my view on being born in a different generation, while trying to imbibe whatever is remaining, on my teenage daughters.

King of Kings
Isaiah 6 New International Version (NIV)
Isaiah’s Commission
6 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”
the whole earth is full of his glory.”
4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
9 He said, “Go and tell this people:
“‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding;
be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’
10 Make the heart of this people calloused;
make their ears dull
and close their eyes.[a]
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”
be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’
10 Make the heart of this people calloused;
make their ears dull
and close their eyes.[a]
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”
11 Then I said, “For how long, Lord?”
And he answered:
“Until the cities lie ruined
and without inhabitant,
until the houses are left deserted
and the fields ruined and ravaged,
12 until the Lord has sent everyone far away
and the land is utterly forsaken.
13 And though a tenth remains in the land,
it will again be laid waste.
But as the terebinth and oak
leave stumps when they are cut down,
so the holy seed will be the stump in the land.”

Revelation 4:8-11 New International Version (NIV)
8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”
