Maybe, before you begun choosing, there are lot of options to pick and these choices seems too good. or maybe you have no option but for the limited choice that present itself to you, you quickly grab it, without thinking thoroughly. Later you realize that your hasty decision was not the best decision you made. The problem is many of us have got that beautiful picture and expectations in our mind and how that choice is suppose to bring joy and happiness to us. You have this beautiful dream about this choice, somehow, you know what you want but the options coming to your path are really not what you desire. If you'd notice am not being specific about these choices, I am just generalizing about choice here. But am getting somewhere and that place is in relationships. I've heard many women say "I...

Pope Francis was headed home Monday after enjoying a rapturous reception in Cuba and the United States for his message of reconciliation, humility and care for those in need. But he rejected the notion of being a “star”, telling reporters aboard the papal plane that his job was to be “the servant of the servants of God… It’s a bit different from a star!” Throughout the nine-day trip, huge crowds lined the streets everywhere the 78-year-old pontiff went in Cuba, Washington, New York and Philadelphia. Francis became the first pope to address the US Congress, calling on elected leaders to take responsibility for crafting a fairer economic system, confronting global warming, restricting the arms trade and abolishing the death penalty. In New York, he led a multi-faith prayer for world peace at Ground Zero, testament to the September 11, 2001, attacks killed nearly 3,000 people, a place that he said “speaks so powerfully of the mystery of evil.” In Philadelphia, the Vatican s...

T his is the season of weddings. The cards come thick and fast. It is not unusual to have three to five wedding invitations on a busy Saturday. After all, we live in a society where marriage is seen as a logical step to completion of self. Completion for a bachelor who has finished schooling, is about 30, and has secured some form of livelihood. Completion for a spinster who may, or may not have finished schooling, who may, or may not have secured some form of livelihood. LOVE The only qualification is that she is above 25. Completion for parents who have spent their prime years catering to the needs of their brood and feel their job is not done until the children ‘settle’ in their own homes. Completion for a society that is still caught up in the ‘live happily ever after’ world. Thus everybody feels that marriage completes them which is why the emotions vary at the conclusion of a wedding ceremony. In my time, I was a best man six times and a groomsman a couple of tim...
