Professor Ganesh Madan said..
Two people in our department openly and frankly to students expressing their deepest regrets to the present situation of the Electronics Students : Prof.Ganesh Madan and Prof.Kannan. They are extremely talented and MIT must make the most use of them.Sadly, the opposite thing happens! I will share Prof.Kannan's innovative talks to motivate us later in this blog.

Black-out and its impact on my life!
Reader Attention: Don’t mistake me for a grisly character of misanthropist with an aura of cynicism – I may sound so easily, with the following simple & humble () reasonings.
During power cuts, we are mostly detached from the advancements of human technology , which has made our survival dependent on some energy resource. When a black-out occurs,we are carried away to a dark age , void of light and unwanted noise(caused by machines and 24*7 TV running in our house) – forget emergency lights for my Blog’s sake :) .
We are forced as well as given an opportunity to sit back and enjoy the nature and praise the Intelligent Creator(Jesus Christ, in my case) behind it. Since the power-cuts are scheduled for a day, we not only prepare our daily chores in advance, but also our mind mentally even in the case of whiling away our time.Physically speaking, we sweat a lot and that helps to maintain the proportion of toxic substances in our body. I think we now have enough reasons to say a “Big thanks” to our EB department who have STARTED WORKING with a great vision to make us strong both physically(use our eyes during the darkness) as well as mentally.
Looking at the dark side, the power-cuts are really a pain in the ass for small industries and students. Alas , to the poor planning and blaming of one authority over another.
I spend time reading books(non-academics, of course!) and staring at stars lying flat on our house terrace.I have not done it in years although I would die to do them! ‘EB’ has finally re-kindled the child in me.Wow ! what a feeling it is to take some time in my busy work schedule(includes watching movies, chit-chatting, sleeping ; courtesy:youth, college student) to sit(lie) down and stare at everything, other than computer screens, table cluttered with gadgets and what not!
Other things which I do includes playing FIFA in my new HP laptop gifted by Jesus through my Chithhapa -- giving freely , some drops of my blood to every little mosquito(only fellows with happy faces during the black-outs) buzzing around me .(Karuna parambarai!!).
I look forward gladly for a future, where I can sit idly without any disturbances and temptations to distract my mind and thoughts,still drafting my success story in some corner of the Earth devoid of current and light. Will it happen or is it another page in my book of fantasy? I have more to talk about living and fantasy(my idea of living as projected by my imagination).I will put them later when I fall in proper resonance with my mind again.

God's infinite love and righteousness
Infinite love of Jesus – Secrets of Bible I :
Sermon by Pastor Regis and its short compilation(August 15th):
I have never ever seen a love as pure and unfathomable as Jesus Christ’s!!
I have attended many sermons and prayers and I never knew why Jesus died on the cross? The day he(Pastor) revealed the truth, I felt how horrible and pathetic it is, to sin against the Holy One of Israel! Pastor Regis said that he asked the question to himself and prayed with tears at the feet of Jesus and he got the answer finally.
Here goes the TRUTH :
The first creation of God(Adam and eve) sinned against him by eating from the ‘Tree of fruit and knowledge’ in
What is that serpent? Where did it come from ?
Well it’s a Biblical secret available only for people in union with God. However Ezekiel chapter 28 speaks of the prophecy against King Tyre(?). Notice carefully and you can see the words ‘Eden’, ‘Angel’ and so on. Read it for yourself.
Now Adam and Eve have sinned and it’s time to come under God’s curse. God had previously said that they will die for sure if they eat from the “Tree of fruit and knowledge”. Did they die as soon as they ate them?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before explaining this , let me put forward an analogy for a better understanding:
A day will come when all the old people will have to pass away. Their bodies will lay speechless and motionless! It’s a kind of permanent separation and we don’t expect them to speak again. This is a permanent separation and we call it ‘Death’ in other words.
What if a relative of ours leave to foreign for his career/education?
It’s a kind of temporary separation and it is not called as death.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now coming back, God said that Adam and Eve will die if they eat from the “Tree of fruit and knowledge”. They were finally cast away from
The obvious answer is ‘Permanent seperation’ and we have equated it to death already and thus God’s word is fulfilled. Did God stop with this ? NO.
Genesis 3:24
I have put up verses from a Tamil Bible for better comprehension and wordings.
‘Jeeva virutcham’ is Forbidden tree, ‘F‘Pattayam’ is a sword , ‘sudarolli pattayam’ is burning sword, ‘kerubeankal’ is Angels.
So whoever dies will go into a bottomless pit and never ever enter into
Read Mat 26:31
Did you notice something odd here? It is said that Maipanai vettuvaen? Was Jesus cut or crucified? He was crucified on the cross for all our sins and bought Salvation for all of us!! Why is it ‘vettuvaen’ ?Read Zec 13:7
This was written in the Old testament times and you can see the TRUTH for yourself.Jesus was the Lamb of God(Maipan) who was struck by the burning sword at the Eden to make way for all of us(for all our sins).He bought us salvation this way for : Sins which we have done, we do and which we will do in the future.I cannot describe in words how righteous and loving our Sovereign Lord is! His infinite selfless love !
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
Meditate on these verses for a while to understand God’s love.The God who made the Burning sword himself, righteously sent his only Son to suffer and die for us on it.
Pastor Regis meeting and introduction
Praise be to Lord. Whatever happens , happens according to his will.While I was having fun in my hometown(Tuticorin), I had this opportunity to listen to Pastor Regis counseling and prayer. He was a man of authority ! He was humble and had many gifts of the Holy Spirit : driving out evil spirits, preaching the word of God and so on. I asked him certain Biblical questions which I considered trivial . After briefly narrating about his early days and how God found him stories, he started to ask certain basic questions. He understood that we needed guidance. He appreciated me for my desire to know about God and explained the significance of knowing(or craving to know) the Holy Bible and God’s word.
What is the need to read Bible first?
This is a very important question to be answered!
We need to understand who God is and how glorified he is?
Read Isaiah 1:2-3
2 The Lord said, “ Earth and sky, listen to what I am saying! The Children I brought up have rebelled against me. 3 Cattle know who owns them, and donkeys know where their masters feed them. But that is more than my people Israel know. They don’t understand at all.”
Read John 17:3
And eternal life means knowing you, the only true God and knowing Jesus Christ whom you sent.
Read Hosea 6:6
“I want your constant love, not your animal sacrifices. I would rather have my people know me than burning offerings to me.”
says the Sovereign Lord.
Read II Peter 3:18
“But continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.To him be the glory, now and forever ! Amen.”
I wish I learn a lot through him and other spiritual members of my family.

Assessment vaaram(week)
I opened my book which I borrowed from Spectrum Book bank yesterday(It's a xerox). My mind is cluttered and not in a state to accept information flow.Thank God, I have my exam only at 11'0 clock tomorrow morning.I may wake up early and try to squeeze in some information for the sake of filling the paper.The reason for writing this blog is to get rid of this guilt feeling of being very care free. Besides I am also not able to concentrate on anything else.This happens occasionally and I get into this blues as often as we have full moons(nice analogy hehe!). It takes some time to recoil and return to normal state.. but till then I will not know what I will be doing (Right now, I am blogging).
