Obama Promotes ReligiousTolerance In India Speech

President Barack Obama gently nudged India on Tuesday to fulfill itsconstitution’s pledge to uphold the “dignity of the individual,” drawing onhis own experience as a minority in the United States as he closed out

a three-day visit to New Delhi.

peaking to an audience of young people, Obama said that while he has hadextraordinary opportunities, “there were moments in my life where I’ve beentreated differently because of the color of my skin.” As he touted the importanceof religious tolerance, he noted the persistent false rumors that he is a Muslim,not a Christian.

“There have been times where my faith has at times been questioned by peoplewho don’t know me, or they’ve said that I adhere to a different religion, as if thatwere somehow a bad thing,” Obama said.

India is largely Hindu, with almost 80 percent following the faith. At over 12percent Muslims are India’s largest minority, with Sikhs, Christians and Bud-dhists making up the rest. While religious groups largely coexist peacefully, thecountry has seen several flare ups of violence, primarily between Hindus andMuslims, reported timesofindia.indiatimes.com.

The US has said some local laws and policies in India restrict religious freedom,with reports of discrimination and organized attacks against religious minori-ties. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was denied a visa to the US in 2005, threeyears after religious riots killed more than 1,000 Muslims in the Indian statewhere he was the top elected official. He has denied any wrongdoing and India’stop court has absolved him of any role, but India’s Muslims and Christians arewary of Modi’s right wing Bharatiya Janata Party.

Equality, across gender and religious lines, is enshrined in India’s constitution.But India continues to remain a deeply misogynistic society with a gender ratioskewed in favor of boys. Despite a law that bars sex selective abortions, thepractice continues, with girls often considered a burden.

by Antara Mukherjee

Over the last few months, shocking cases of communal violence have emerged within our

country. Incidents of forced religiousconversions and destruction of reli-gious architecture have now reachedthe capital city. Just last month, St.Sebastian’s church in Dilshad Gardenwas a victim of arson. Police suspectvandalism due to the traces of kero-sene that were found on the premises.This is one of the four churches thathave recently been vandalized in thecity. Neither the police nor the Christiancommunity is free of fear so as to beable to point fingers at the responsibleparties. This tactic of creating fear inthe hearts of the non-Hindu communi-ties is obviously in preparation for theDelhi assembly elections.

This state of affairs has created anatmosphere that is damaging the secu-lar social fabric we have tried to main-tain in our society for long. Religiousorthodox mobs are striking fear in theminds of those who are eligible to votebut may not do so anymore due to thepresent situation. Archbishop Anil Jo-seph Thomas Couto told The Hindu:

“We used to hear about such violencebeing perpetrated on the Christian com-munity outside Delhi, but now it hascome home — these attacks are hap-pening in the Capital. What frightens usis that the Prime Minister has main-tained silence on the issue and hasmade no public statement to reassurethe Christian population.”

He has rightly pointed out the fact thatour Prime Minister, who is known forhis flamboyant oratory skills, has nowsuddenly chosen to remain silent overthese activities. He has remained silentwhenever these incidents have croppedup, leaving his other ministers to repre-sent the Government’s cold but forc-

ibly polite sympathy towards the vic-tims.

What is even more outrageous is thatthis issue has been suppressed and isno longer an election issue. The domi-nant political parties are playing a dif-ferent kind of vote-bank politics withreligious identities; hence every dis-cordant note in the socio-political fab-ric is masked by an agenda of develop-ment without addressing the questionof “development, but for whom”? Eth-nic and religious minorities continue tobe targeted through terrible hatespeeches, false propagandas such as“love jihad” or “ghar wapsi”; also thespate of caste/religion based sexualviolence, fraudulent capitalistic “gurus”and a general hype of aggressive andintolerant religious majoritarianism.

With the following figures in mind, it isquite understandable why the state iscurrently being swayed in the desireddirection.

“Hinduism is the religion of 81.8% ofNew Delhi’s population. There are alsocommunities of Muslims (11.3%), Sikhs(5.4%), Jains (1.1%) and Christians(0.9%) in Delhi. Other religious groups(2.5%) include Parsis, Buddhists andJews” (Wikipedia)

Let’s go back to the time of the electoralcampaign of our Prime Minister. Hepromised economic development andfurther progress of resource manage-ment. What he didn’t talk about is So-cial Development and the fact that re-source includes people. He went onand on about the necessity of bringingin more money for the country, butdidn’t talk about encouraging peacebetween communities. His silence is aclear sign that his government did notinclude social development in itsagenda and was successfully able tobrush it under the carpet without rais-ing any suspicion. The current

government’s silence reeks of doubtsand suspicions regarding their blind-ness towards social development.

Forced conversions are now becom-ing frighteningly rampant, with thou-sands being given monetary compen-sations and others being threatened.The repeated attacks on the churchesare representative of an indifferent gov-ernment which makes no effort to ad-dress this dangerous trend.

These incidents are creating fear evenin the heart of the members of themajority religion. A friend of mine whois a practicing Hindu said, “I don’t feelcomfortable to be proud about being aHindu. Our hands are going to be tiedto religious violence even though theones doing it are far from being hindus.”It is quite interesting to think that thismight be a serious backlash to thevociferous claims of the advocates ofreligious majoritarianism. With the factthat those representing Hinduism areonly a handful of right wing parties, it isvery dangerous to think that the realityand the genuine message of this ageold religion will be lost. It is beingshaped and manipulated to soothe theneeds of a few and the rest of thefollowers have no say in how they arerepresented.

The Constitution holds up the people’sright to follow, profess and preach thereligion of their choice as long as itdoesn’t interfere with other religionsand their attitudes. But in the presenttimes, it is quite obvious that we as anation are slipping away from that styleof secularism. One can only hope thatthe upcoming Delhi government willuphold and protect the integrity of ev-ery religion that resides within our stateboundaries and encourage other stateinstitutions across the country to do thesame. The thought of what will happenif this hope flickers is very dangerous –politically, socially and even economi-cally.

Mr. Modi, Why The Deathly Silence On TheVandalism Of Churches In Delhi?

5 2 February 2015

People change, their careers,views, political positions, religious affiliations might change.

Kiran Bedi can also change. Her entryinto the ambit of Bharatiya Janata Partyhas created an uproar on social mediawith all her old tweets being shared,discussed and deleted. But we thoughtchange is not something that has to bedespised, but questioned; we thoughtit is more important that Ms. Bedi clari-fies a few of our queries about hercurrent political position. It is with thisintention that this Facebook page waslaunched yesterday.

Dear Ms. Kiran Bedi,

You have been a national icon ofwomen’s power as the first female IPSofficer of the country: As you havejoined the Bharatiya Janata Party now,you are giving legitimacy to the partyand its 7 months’ rule in the centre. We,some women of the country and of theconstituency, request you to answerthe following questions. This will onlytake 5 minutes of your time. If you aretoo busy to answer at length, a simpleyes or no would do!

1. The Hindutva leaders have madeunacceptable remarks on women’schoices, be that costumes, professionor love (women wearing jeans, womenhaving to give birth to four children tosave the Hindu religion or their war on

love through “love jihad”).They have also demon-strated that they have noqualms in using male vio-lence on women if it fitstheir logic. Many inci-dents of moral policingon women by Hindutvaparties and allies havebeen reported. This in-cludes physically assault-ing and molesting young girls by them.Do you approve of this sort of denial ofwomen’s freedom for personalchoices? If yes, what should we expectfrom the party that is in centre andcontesting for Delhi elections? If youdon’t, how do you intend to try andchange their positions on women?

2. As a police woman, you do know ofthe reports that 63 MPs of the BJP havea criminal record. A lot of these crimesare against women, including rape andassault. Do you justify having rapistsand molesters in responsible positionsin your party?

3. Ever since the Hindutvavadis havebeen in power, attacks on minoritiesare on the rise. For instance – theattacks on Churches and Christmascelebrations. As a person who knowsthe history of communal violence, youdo know that communal violence isfundamentally anti-women in that itleaves the choice of being assaulted

by men from other com-munities or of beingmade to live under thedirections of men fromtheir own communities.As a woman, would youdisown the communalistbigotry of thehindutvavadis or en-dorse it, now that youhave joined them?

4. Privatisation of railways and de-regularisation of medicines have a hugeimpact on our daily lives. Do you thinkthese steps were essential for makingIndia into what the party envisions?

5. Hindutvavadis have been coming upwith statements that make learning andteaching history, science and socialissues difficult. As an educated women,would you endorse this kind of politicalinterference in education?

We know you won’t run away fromthese questions as you have alwaysbeen applauded for your faith in socialjustice and commitment to the rights ofwomen. Since you have been an iconof female strength, many of us areconfused with your current politicaldecision. Once you answer these ques-tions, our doubts will be clarified aboutsupporting you.

Kindly respond.

God'sSpecial Children

A couple of days ago, Goa CMLaxmikant Parsekar caused eye-browsto be raised by stating that somepeople were born with disabilities dueto a 'mistake' and 'negligence' on thepart of God. He went on to say that Godhad given us body parts but had forgot-ten to give some children these partsdue to 'negligence', for which the chil-dren had to suffer for life. He added ,NGOs (like DRAG) that focus on spe-cial needs were 'rectifying the mistakecommitted by God' .The chief ministerwas speaking at the inauguration of afilm festival on special needs and dis-ability issues.DRAG strongly objectedto this statement and clarified that ifGod has created a person disabled, itis to show people the power of God.

These statements made by the CMbesides being absurd are also veryinsensitive.These differently-abled chil-dren are God's special children. Theyare endowed with other special tal-ents. Very often we see that such chil-dren are the focal point holding theentire family and even the extendedfamily firmly together in strong bondsof love. God shows his power throughsuch children .

Women also face the risk of harass-ment and sexual violence, a subjectthat finally became the subject ofpublic protests after a fatal gang rapeon a moving bus in the heart of NewDelhi. The protests prompted morestringent laws but critics say moreprogress is needed.

“Every woman should be able to goabout her day — to walk the street, orride the bus — and be safe and betreated with the respect and dignitythat she deserves,” Obama said toapplause.

Since taking office in May, Modi hasoften talked about women’s rights,urging Indians to treat sons anddaughters equally. He recentlylaunched an “educate the daughter,save the daughter,” program to stemsex selective abortions and encour-age parents to keep girls in schools.

New Delhi: Officials of the Indian bish-ops in a special consultation have askedIndian Prime Minister Narendara Modito urgently intervene and stop activitiesthat challenge nation's secular nature.

They urged Modi "to urgently interveneand take appropriate action to stopincidents that pose big threat to theunity of this secular nation," said apress release from Indian Catholic Bish-ops' Conference.

Odisha, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi havecaused great concern for the Christiancommunity," it said.

The recent controversies in the nameof religious reconversions portray anegative image about India. Commu-nal polarization and the bid to homog-enize India are posing threat to all mi-norities – women, dalits, and all linguis-tic, cultural and religious minorities, itsaid.

The reconversion programs of Hinduhardline organizations called GharWapsi programmes, the saffranisationof education and culture, and the de-mands for a Hindu Rashtra are chal-lenging to the secular ethos of ourbeloved country.

"The Christians of this country needassurance from the Government thatwe are protected and secure and safein our motherland. We express ourstrong concern on the aforementionedissues," said the press release signedby Conference's Deputy SecretaryGeneral Fr. Joseph Chinnayyan.

"Putting an end to such dangeroustendencies is inevitable for the growthand progress of our great nation," saidasserting Christian recommitment "forthe progress and development of ournation."

He is allegedly involved in some otherheinous crimes as well. So small won-der then that he and his ilk seek toidolize Godse. But God forbid that suchshould actually happen.

In this era of 3G, 4G and 5G, we arecalled to choose between the 2 Gs.Haanjee, the two Gs that I am referringto are Gandhi the victim, and Godsethe assassin.

What drove Godse to murder Gandhiji?Apparently the Hindu Mahasabha wasinfuriated because Gandhiji accededto the partition of the country, with aseparate homeland (Pakistan) for theMuslims. He had also insisted that thecompensatory contractual sum of Ru-pees Fifty Five Crores be handed overto Pakistan. At Independence, whenthe rest of the country was feasting (incelebration mood) Gandhiji was fast-ing in Bengal, to try and stop the geno-cide being perpetrated at Novkhali.The Hindu extreme right perceivedthese acts of Gandhiji as being partial

to the Muslims. They saw red, so theyshot him dead.

In all probability the terrorists who shotdead the Charlie Hebdo cartoonistswere also filled with righteous indigna-tion and misplaced ardour. The samegoes for the Pakistani Taliban thatslaughtered innocent children inPeshawar, and the Boko Haram whoare indiscriminately killing thousandsin Nigeria, and now Niger. When willthis self-righteous indignation end?

When we turn to the other G. Several ofus could have causes that we passion-ately espouse. We could also havemajor differences of opinion with the“other”. But that does not, in any way,justify killing the opposition. It is herethat the other G shows the way.

When the freedom struggle was at itszenith a group of zealots (a deliberatechoice of word) torched a police sta-tion in Chauri Chaura. Gandhiji imme-diately put the freedom struggle onhold. In like manner, during the Sec-ond World War (1939-45) Gandhiji ex-tracted a promise from the British thathe would support their war effort, pro-vided that after the war ended, Indiawould be granted freedom. The rest ishistory.

There are many such instances in the

Not Godse, For God’s Sake

BY CHHOTEBHAI

life of the Mahatma, when he subju-gated his own plans to that of the greatergood. That is the hallmark of great-ness. It is also the skill of a masternegotiator, and the magnanimity of aSpirit filled person. No one can everplease all, so there will always be dis-gruntled and disillusioned elements. Inno way does that justify taking the livesof the antagonists; or worse still, theinnocent lives of those not even re-motely involved in the conflict.

As we commemorate the 66th anniver-sary of Mahatma Gandhi’s martyrdomlet us make a choice between the 2 Gs.For God’s sake, let it not be for Godse!

Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on 30th January 1949 inBirla House, New Delhi. On

the eve of his assassination I am re-minded of his killer, Nathuram Godseof the Hindu Mahasabha. Godse isback in the news thanks to those seek-ing to idolize him, and even buildtemples in his honour.

His loquacious proponent is SakshiMaharaj, the saffron clad BJP MP frommy neighbouring district of Unnao. It isnot insignificant that the sadhu himselfis a prime accused in the murder of oneBrahm Dutt Dwivedi, an MLA from an-other adjoining district of Farrukhabad.

A Debating PointIn a mid-night coup of sorts, the

BJP announced that the newly inductedmember Ms Kiran Bedi will be the CMcandidate for the Delhi elections some-thing she insisted on before she agreedto join the party. The Troika of Modi,Shah and Jailtley took this all importantdecision keeping all the other stakeholders in the dark. Rajnath Singh maybe de facto No 2 in the cabinet butwhen it comes to crucial political deci-sions, its Jaitley.

The reports suggest that the BJPparty became jittery. The much toutedModi rally flopped. After tasting walk-over victories in many of the recentlyheld state elections, they thought Delhiwould be a cake-walk but seeing thereality on the ground, all the best brainsof the party worked overtime how tosave the Prime Minister from a possibleembarrassment should AAP score overthe BJP. That would be a disaster, thestrategists felt. Losing to a non-entitywould bring down the PM’s stock to anew low signaling an end of wave. LikeRahul Gandhi, Modi had to be savedfrom a possible humiliation.

Every body expected a directKejrival v/s Kiran Bedi contest in NewDelhi. She was willing to face him sheadmitted. It appears the party was notconvinced that she could win againstKejrival. That by itself is an admissionthat Kejrival is a formidable foe and thatis a bigger victory for him. The partyhad to shift Bedi to a much safer con-stituency where even an ordinary mem-ber would have won. But Bedi losing toKejrival would have been a catastrophicsituation for the party. Desperation wasevident from the tone and tenor of theirspokespersons. They were angry andlooked extremely nervous.

Kiran Bedi, appeared on CNNIBN and confidently declared thatshe is all for a face to face debatewith Kejrival on TV. She never spokeabout time constraint. AAP was quickto challenge her, making BJP ner-vous. Losing a debate would meanloss of face. Debate should be on thefloor of the house they said. Thesame party mocked Rahul Ganhi toface Narendra Modi on TV. They be-littled him for running away. Bedisaid she believes in ‘delivery’ butmadam, you must first ‘plan’ andthen ‘conceive’ [ideas and issues]

before the question of ‘delivery’ comesup. Disclosure by AAP [never mind ifit is late] about her ‘soft’ corner forBJP during the Anna movement willhurt her unless Anna debunks theAAP claim. He should, as his owncredibility as a strict apolitical cru-sader, is at stake. It could tarnish hisimage.

A Typical Case OfDouble Standards

Following the dastardly attack onthe establishment of Charlie Hebdo, crieslike “I am Charlie”, “Ish bin Charlie” and“Je suis Charlie” went viral. The worldwas shaken by the death of innocents inthe process. Of course, the reaction ofISIS has been too violent for words. It isunfortunate that, to register a protest forsomething which may have been offen-sive, radicals are prepared to kill eveninnocents and in the process, are willingto die for a cause, that’s if you like to callit that.

In complete solidarity with thepeople of France millions of people gath-ered a few days back to tell the ISIS thatthe world is not prepared to be coweddown. This, one of the biggest gather-ings in history, saw dozens of politicalleaders from across the world cometogether standing shoulder-to-shoulderwith the grieving people. That showsthat civility still exists in the world and notall is lost to the radicals, who despitebeing shunned by all religious heads.This solidarity gave a lot of hope to thecitizens of the world.

Among those present also was theIsraeli Prime Minister representing hiscountry. Ironically, one of the daily pub-lications in Israel, Ha Mevaser, which isconsidered as ultra orthodox broughtout a picture of the solidarity gathering inFrance by blocking the image of Ger-man Chancellor Angela Merkel. This wasa highly insensitive thing to do espe-cially when it related to showing worldsolidarity. If the paper had any reserva-tions in showing her image because ofpast history of animosity with the Ger-mans of Adold Hitler era, they couldhave avoided showing the picture alto-gether.

The President of France took thecentre stage in denouncing the attack

on freedom of speech and everybodyapplauded him. He was emphatic thatunder no circumstances freedom ofspeech will be allowed to be infringed.A very laudable stand in the face ofgrave tragedy! But surprisingly, whatactually followed is appalling. A coupleof days later, a well known French co-median Dieudonne was arrested bythe French police for the following com-ment on Face Book – “Tonight I amconcerned. I feel like Charlie Coulibaly– he killed 4”. He was booked for sup-porting terror. Surprisingly, no worldleader or activist took any umbrage.Does this comedian not have the free-dom of expression as well like the CharlieHebdo cartoonists? By arresting him,France has shown the world that it doesnot really respect that right. The policeaction may have been prompted by thefact that the entire French populationwould be ‘hurt’ by those comments ofthe comedian. But when it came to thehurt feelings of the Muslim communitybecause of cartoons, the governmentdid not see it that way.

The BJP government also con-demned the dastardly attack in Francewhich they saw as an attack on free-dom of speech and expression. Infact the whole country was disturbedwhich reminded us of the 27/11 trag-edy. Similarly, the country wasshaken up when little children weremassacred in Peshawar – Pakistan.A few weeks ago, there was intrusionby a boat which ultimately went up inflames when challenged. The BJPparty created hype over the incidentcalling it a Pak conspiracy and wantedeverybody to do likewise. The Gov-ernment was very cautious and didnot really name Pak. The CongressParty, in its wisdom, challenged theBJP to show some proof of Pak in-volvement. The BJP pounced uponthe Congress for being pro-Pak andanti-India. This is the same approachas the French towards a comedian.

The number of people without ajob in India is increasing on adaily basis. Economic slowdown

in the domestic arena coupled withslow growth in Europe has meant thatwell paying jobs are hard to come by.The unemployment rate in India roseto 4.9 percent in 2013-2014, up by 2basis points from the previous yearrecords.

However, the picture isn’t allthat gloomy either. Technological ad-vancements are taking place at a rapidlevel and sustainability is the core chal-lenge that major economies are deal-ing with. This will only mean that thekind of jobs available in the market willchange from time to time. Here aresome futuristic jobs that could rule theroost in the coming decades

Garbage designer: We’ve all heardof a fashion designer, but this is arelatively new field for sustainabilityenthusiasts. The amount of garbagethat is generated in India is huge. Thedays of segregating wet waste and drywaste will soon disappear. So whatdoes a garbage designer do? Well,their sole objective is to convert the by-

products of various manufacturing pro-cess into high quality usable materialsthat can be used for making somethingentirely different. Recently, Bill Gateswas part of a project that burns humanwaste and converts it into electricityand clean drinking water. This projecthas immense potential considering itscore function of converting waste intoproducts that are widely used through-out the world- water and electricity.

the population has no idea about ro-bots and their functioning system. Arobot therapist will help every family/company choose the right robot fortheir organization based on their needsand family profile.

Nostalgists: Nostalgists are interiordesigners, albeit their job involvesmuch more than just designing rooms.Their services could be used by thewealthy to recreate an environmentthat they feel most comfortable in. Forexample, if a 70-year-old retired coupledoesn’t wish to live in an old age home,they can hire a nostalgist to designtheir home in such a way that it re-sembles their favorite decade of living.This profile will also involve consider-able research in history along withrobust research into the future. It’s allabout recreating an environment thatresembles the customers favorite era.

Tele-surgeons: This is one careerthat has already gained some momen-tum. Demand for healthcare will nevercease to exist. However, in order toovercome the problem of geographi-cal boundaries, a tele-surgeon will beable to operate on a patient lying downin Mumbai, from a remote location inDenmark. The entire operation will beconducted by a robot that will be con-trolled by the surgeon from a far offlocation. Consider this to be the Skypein healthcare.

The 10 Richest Religions in the World

A lot of people believe in theexistence of a god that willhelp save a person’s soul.

Preserving the institution that canhelp you believe in God requires alot of money however. Here are the10 richest religions in the world.

10. The Church of Scientology: TheChurch of Scientology is devoted tothe promotion of the belief system ofScientology. L. Ron Hubbard estab-lished the religion in 1952, succeedingan earlier self-help system that he hadset up called Dianetics. The churchwas incorporated the following year inNew Jersey. It has gained celebrityadherents along the way, the most fa-mous of which is Tom Cruise. Thereligion is based on subscription, withmembers going up in rank as one paysa required fee. The highest rank isOperating Thetan VIII that costs around$256,000. The church once spent morethan $3 million to purchase some gold

bullion and more than $14.1 million fora cruise ship.

9. Freemasonry: While Freemasonryis not really a religion in the real senseof the word, its members are requiredto believe in a supreme being. A vastmajority of its members are rich andhigh net worth individuals. Some peoplebelieve that Freemasonry is actuallythe richest organization in the world. Itsmembers are said to be powerful andtheir symbol even appears on the dol-lar bill and the seal of the United States.Masonic lodges can be found all overthe world.

8. Protestantism: Protestantism is adivision of Christianity. It actually in-volves any denomination in the Chris-tian world that deny the authority of thepope in Rome. It affirms the principlesof the Reformation and believes in theprimacy of the Bible as the only sourceof truth. There are probably over 33,000Protestant denominations, but it all

started in 1517 when Martin Lutherreacted against the medieval doctrinesand practices being followed by theCatholic Church at the time. Researchin the United States shows that Protes-tants are in the middle in terms ofwealth accumulated by its believers.

7. Televangelism: Televangelism isnot exactly a religion but rather, it is anelement of Christianity where believersare addressed by a minister throughtelevision broadcasts. It also adheresto Christian principles, but it focuseson personal morality as viewed bypreachers. Televangelism relies mainlyon advertisements, donations andmerchandise; all these are done free oftax. Television evangelists are knownto live a luxurious life, building expen-sive homes and traveling by privatejets. Put together, it is estimated to bea $2.3 billion business.

Receiving a bouquet of flowers is won-derful. The colors give your home ahappier atmosphere, and the smellsbring about memories of spring andsummertime. Sadly, these bouquetsdon’t last long, and the wilted flowersbecome a sad sight and end up in thetrash within a couple of days. By follow-ing these simple tips, you’ll be able toprolong the life of your bouquet for upto 3 weeks.

1. Test the freshness of roses: Whenyou’re choosing a bouquet, look at thebottoms of the petals to see how manypetals were previously removed from it.A fresh rose will only have one or twopetals removed, and the more petalsare missing, the closer the rose is to itslife’s end.

2. Most flowers do not have a scent:Your nose is perfectly fine; most deco-rative flowers simply have no scent.Growers prefer to breed flowers that arebigger and more resilient, not neces-sarily the ones that smell nice.

3. Don’t keep your flowers on a win-dow sill: Yes, they do look great in thesunlight, but the same light also speedsup the wilting process and the flowerswill be gone in a day or two. Instead,keep the bouquet in a shady area.

4. Wash the vase after you use it:Don’t swap bouquets without washingthe vase properly. The bacteria andfungi from the previous bouquet willhasten the decaying process and yournew flowers will be dead in no time. Forthe best results, wash the vase withalcohol or bleach.

5. Fruits are your enemies: Keepingyour bouquet next to a fruit bowl maylook lovely, but it will also shorten thelifespan of your flowers. Fruits emit agas called Ethaline, which speeds updecay in plants.

6. Keep flowers away from air-condi-tioning: Flowers prefer a humid envi-ronment, and air-conditioning dries upthe air, shortening their lifespan.

7. Change the water: Still water is a

nursery for bacteria, fungi and algae –all of which can speed up the decayingprocess. By changing the water on adaily basis, you will prolong the lifespanof the bouquet.

8. Don’t use scissors: Instead of snip-ping stems with scissors, work with asharp knife without a serrated edge.Cut the stems diagonally and cut itagain every 3-4 days.

9. Remove the leaves: You can usescissors to snip any leaves that come incontact with the water in the vase. Leav-ing the leaves in the water creates aperfect habitat for bacteria and fungi.

10. Don’t play with the flowers’ shape:Avoid breaking, bending or damagingthe stems. The stems’ shape is vital forthe delivery of nutrients to the flowers. Ifyou have a damaged flower, you will dowell to remove it from the bouquet.

11. Don’t buy bouquets out on thestreet: These bouquets often sit in thesun for too long and are often not fresh.Go to your favorite florist and buy it fromthem to ensure your flowers are fresh.

12. No cold showers: You don’t likethem and neither do the flowers. Whenfirst putting the flowers in, or when youchange the water, make sure they’relukewarm.

13. The “magical formula”: Instead ofjust using tap water, make a mixture of4-parts water, 1-part Sprite (not diet)and add a couple of drops of bleach.Using distilled water is better than regu-

lar water.Wash the vase before useRemove the leaves that ttouch the

waterUse a non-serrated knife to cut the

stem diagonally every 3 daysAvoid bending or breaking the stemsChange the water dailyUse lukewarm waterDon’t leave the vase in direct sun-

light, near an A/c or a fruit bowl. Usethe magic formula: mix 4 parts ofwater with 1 part of sprite and add afew drops of bleach

London: The Anglican Church in En-gland on Monday consecrated its firstfemale bishop, the Reverend Libby Lane,at a historic ceremony in the Cathedralof York, in northern England.

Lane, who was appointed to thepost December 17, 2014, will becomethe eighth bishop of Stockport, a city innorthern England, in an event witnessedby a thousand guests.

On December 17, the AnglicanSynod appointed Libby Lane as its firstwoman bishop after having voted lastJuly in favour of the consecration ofwomen, a measure which was then ap-proved in November by the relevantlegislation in parliament.

Lane has been a priest since 1994.Besides England, there are 165

countries with the presence of the Angli-can Church, representing some 85 mil-lion faithful.

Some of these countries acceptwomen bishops, including Ireland, Aus-tralia, New Zealand, Canada and theUS, with a total of 29 women conse-crated.

Last Prophet 0f The Old Testament( On Sunday 12 January :Feast of TheBaptism of the Lord.)

John the Baptist was the precursor ofthe Messiah; last of the Old Testamentprophets. John had been sent by Godwith the exclusive mission to inspireand prepare the Israelites for the com-ing of the Messiah who would be greaterthan himself.

The prophecy of Zechariahsummed it up: “And you, child, will becalled the prophet of the Most High; foryou will go before the Lord to preparehis ways.” (Lk.1:76). It was John whodesignated Christ as “the Lamb of God”.The child John was the son ofZechariah, an old priest of the Templeat Jerusalem, and his wife, Elizabeth, akinswoman of Mary.

All the above facts are from theBible. The Holy Bible is of divine origin.It has documented the Word of God inthe words of man : it tells us of thecreation of the universe, ‘in the begin-ning….’, of the Messiah, ‘The Wordwas made flesh….’ And of all the proph-esies in the Old Testament, preparingthe Hebrew nation for the coming of theMessiah of the Jews.

The Bible informs us that Johnthe Baptist was born at Ain-Karim south-west of Jerusalem. As a hermit, he livedin the desert of Judea till the year A.D.27,when at the age of thirty he began topreach on the banks of the Jordan,calling men and women to penanceand baptism.

Theologians say the most de-scriptive account of John’s lineage andbirth is given in the Gospel Accordingto Luke. Subsequently, after furtherresearch and effort, I was confrontedwith something absolutely remarkable:a dramatic and colorful story of theman appointed by God to pave the wayfor His son Jesus Christ.

Next. During the reign of KingHerod of Judea, lived Zechariah, aTemple priest at Jerusalem and hiswife, Elizabeth, who came from thefamily of Aaron. They were both veryold and for many years had desired tohave a child. They lived a blameless lifein the beautiful hill country. Their prayers

to be parents were not an-swered. One day Zechariahwent to Jerusalem to per-form his priestly duties in theTemple. He had been se-lected that particular day bylot. ”To enter the sanctuaryof the Lord and offerincense.”(Lk.1:9). This was a religiouscustom of the Jews. The rest of thepeople remained outside the Temple.

While in the sanctum, an angel ofthe Lord, in white robes blazing withheavenly light, looked upon the terri-fied man and smiled, saying: “Do notbe afraid Zechariah for your prayer hasbeen heard. Your wife Elizabeth willbear you a son, and you will name himJohn. You will have joy and gladness,and many will rejoice at his birth, for hewill be great in the sight of the Lord….He will be filled with the Holy Spirit.”(Lk.1:13-15).

The messenger of God was theangel Gabriel. “I stand in the presenceof God, and I have been sent to speakto you and to bring you this goodnews.” (Lk.1:20). Because he did notbelieve the words of the angel,Zechariah was struck dumb.

Elizabeth carried the child in herwomb for nine months. As Foretold bythe Angel Gabriel, a boy child was bornto Elizabeth. On the eighth day after thebirth of the child, they were going toname the boy. Many neighbors andfriends suggested the child shouldhave the name of his father. “but hismother said, ‘No, he is to be calledJohn.’ (Lk.1:60). The gathering turnedto Zechariah and asked what hethought. Since he was mute, theprophet wrote on a stone tablet, “Johnis his name”. Having done this, and inthat very moment he got back hisspeech. He praised God in a canticle.Imagine his state of mental happiness,ecstacy and gratitude? He wept in joy.

Almighty God had given Israeland the world the last prophet of theOld Covenant, John the Baptist, as Hehad promised. John grew up in thewilderness, lived on honey and locusts,till he was strong in spirit.

John remained in the desert for

thirty years till he was readyfor his ministry. St. Paul inthe Acts of the Apostlesmade certain to mentionhow John had already pro-claimed a baptism of repen-tance to all the Israelites.You will find this account in

Acts.13:23.John began his movement of

baptism from the banks of the RiverJordan. “And as John was finishing hiswork, he said, ‘what do you supposethat I am ? I am not he. No, but one iscoming after me, I am not worthy tountie the thong of the sandals on hisfeet.’ (Acts.13:25).

Jesus was the one whose com-ing John had foretold. John was theenvoy of Jesus. Many of John’s follow-ers had identified John with the prophetElijah. The gospel of Luke says “Youwill go before the Lord to prepare hisways.” (Lk.1:76).

In the Book of Malachi 3:1 men-tion is made to a prophet who wouldprepare the way of the Lord. Most bib-lical scholars agree, that it was a refer-ence to John. “ Behold, I will send my

messenger, and he shall pre-pare the way before me; and the Lord,whom ye seek, shall suddenly come tohis temple, even the messenger of thecovenant, whom ye delight in : behold,he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.”(Malachi 3:1).

Jesus came from Galilee to bebaptized by John. At first John refusedto baptize Jesus. “I need to be baptizedby you”. Jesus persuaded John to bap-tize him. In many ways John was al-ways a man of strong will and charac-ter. He had a special sense of destiny,a dynamic temperament and a fearlesstalent to brave the odds. When theJews of Jerusalem sent Levites andpriests to question John, he spoke thetruth and gave his testimonyunwaveringly.

“I am not the Christ.” Then thepriests asked: ”Are you Elijah?” Hereplied, “I am not.” (Jn.1:19-21).

John the Baptist had a large fol-

Respect is not bought but earned.Just like this statement is truefor your work place, it also holds

true for your relationship. Respect is avery important component of a rela-tionship. You can probably stay to-gether without love, but if there is norespect for each other, then the rela-tionship is doomed. Men can earn theirrespect by doing a good job, takingcare of their girl, being chivalrous etc.But many a times women expect to berespected without doing anything toearn respect.

You cannot have a demandingappraoch in a relationship You mustknow what men love in women themost if you want to earn the respect thatis due to you. Here are some sugges-tions.

2. Remain Dignified: Men love womenwho know how to carry themselveswith dignity. If you are going to giggleat silly jokes and fall over him whiletalking, he will never take you seri-ously. You need to have a strong per-sonality and conduct yourself in a man-ner that will make him respect you. Thisdoes not mean that you stop laughingand talking altogether. You just have toknow when to talk and at what point tobless him with your laughter.

Set strong boundaries:In a relationship, you want to clearlyidentify for yourself how you want to betreated and define what behaviour isacceptable and what is unacceptableearly on. You don’t need to be ruthlesswith your values but the moment youlet your partner walk over or manipu-late you even once, is when you lose allrespect. Having your identity attracts aman more towards a woman.

3. Earn his mother's respect: All menlook up to their mothers as the perfectexample of womanhood. It does notmatter whether you like your boyfriend's

mother or not. But earning her respectis going play the most vital role in yourrelationship. When you meet yourboyfriend's mother, do not give away tomuch about yourself. Gauge her per-sonality first and then frame your re-sponse accordingly.

4. Never keep conditions: Men hateto be tied down. If you are going tokeep conditions for him from the be-ginning of your relationship, he willnever respect you. Try to be a littleselfless in your dealings with him. In-stead of forcing him to party with youevery weekend, cook once in a while.Stay home for a movie night and havefun.

5. Be his Life-Manager: Most men areclumsy by nature. They like to havesomeone to clean up their mess. Thatis why men love women who can handlethe tiny details of their life.

Be honest: Honesty is ALWAYS thebest policy in a relationship, regard-less of any supposed best interests foryour partner. If you’re always one-hun-dred percent honest, you can’t reallygo wrong and you should consequentlyalways be trusted.

As long as you are always honest,even with seemingly trivial things thenyou will always have your partner’srespect in this department.

You must be able to challengeyour husband's expectations from youand outshine them every time. Theseare some difficult but reliable ways toearn respect from your husband.

Earn Your Husband's Respect

Marriage is a commitmentfor life. It is a permanent,lifelong relationship.

Marriage is not just an institution,it is a sacrament, asacred union. Itwas after centuries of experiencesthat wise ones of the ancient timesformualated the rules of marriage.

The word for the married state inour ancient Sanskrit language isgrahasta ashrama. Marriage isconsidered as an ashrama — aplace of discipline: not a pleasure-hunting ground. Accordingly, inmarriage, two persons offer thewhole of their mind, body andfeelings to each other, they live foreach other.

These can be seen as the 'TenCommandments' for a successfulmarriage:

1. Avoid the next quarrel.2. Be a good listener.3. Appreciate your spouse.4. Keep your love free.5. Do not expect perfection of

each other.6. Be a good forgiver.7. Be patient, lovbing, under-

standing and kind.8. Develop a healthy sense of

humour9. In misunderstandings, don't

hinde your feelings.10. Make time daily to sit to-

gether to thank God for bless-ing both of you.

Happy Married Life
