“Murder at high noon” screamed the Mirror this week as it announced the death of the Additional Collector of Nasik district, Yashwant Sonawane. As I sat in the comfort of my cubicle, surrounded by the beauty of manmade architecture, the dream world of a growing India burned around me. Will India ever get there? Will corruption ever leave us? Will the system ever change? Will honesty ever be respected? Will love ever rule over selfish desire? As these thoughts bogged me down, a sudden realization gripped me, living the life of a Christian means to be a rebel! Everything that Christ taught was against the system, against the principles of the world. Christ is a rebel! So this makes every follower of Christ a rebel! We have come to live in a world, where everything from educational degrees to sex is available for a price. We have come to live in a world where selfish gain is counted before the betterment of the nation. We have come to live in a world where saving trees is more im...

If you are finding it hard to understand the reason for this blog, then probably you are new to my world. A world filled with these wonderful people, with wonderful Christian names, but their lives are anything but Christian. A world where Christianity is screamed out from microphones, than from lives. A world that does not know where it is headed. 33% of the people on planet earth claim to be Christians. If all these people were actually Christ’s followers then we would not need songs like ‘Heal the world’. The so called ‘Leader of the nations’, America, which once praised ‘God’ in everything, from their national anthem to their currency, has not only unanimously decided to take ‘Christ’ out of ‘Christmas’, but also it has lost sight of the ‘God’ it use to believe in and worship. If you think that there is nothing much we can do about America. Then let’s come back to the Indian Christian. Try reading the news paper for a week and make a note of the articles were Christian name...

As I sat and read the paper, this is what I thought, “If there is a God what is He doing? What’s with the sickness, the floods, the wars, the pain, the stress, the poverty, the hunger? If there is a God, and if He cares like the spiritualists tell me, He should sure be sleeping. Else he won’t let us get so…STUCK!!” Just look at our generation self-obsessed, greedy, pleasure-seeking, thoughtless, mercy less and emotion less. Probably you my friends who are reading this would disagree, but lay back and think, we do what we do, we do it for ourselves. We study for our future, we work for our salary, we live for our glory, and we die for our glory. “Why God? If you are there, Why have you let us get here, why have you let us become like this? Why have I become the seeker of “I-Pods, I-Pads, I-Life and I-Glory? Why God!!!” I rambled on in my thoughts, I looked at my life, I looked the lives of my friends searching a sign of God, I looked at outside the window, looked at people in the...
