**THE FRUITES**
POEM

ARIANNA ROSE PHILIP

DELICIOUS FRUITES

SITTING IN THE BOWL
ALL DIFFERENT KINDS
STRAWBERRIES, BLUEBERRIES
EVEN PEACHES LOOK SO DELICIOUS

ALL RIPE
I TAKE ONE BY ONE

AND NOW THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF THEM
BUT A BOWL !!

(Arianna Rose Philip, the youngest brilliant poet

in New World exudes a striking, natural ambience in

her latest poem, The Fruites.

It is interesting to note that Arianna chose logical themes of

nature and everyday encounters of life. This is superb because we can connect with them perfectly.

Arianna could be envisioned to be a great poetess in her own time; she is truly a promising poet, one to reach heights in the field of literature. Outstanding young poetess! Arianna, we love your poems!)

Cynthia Abegail Bernardo

I liked the innocence and simplicity of the contents of young Ariann's poem Fruities and other poems which you had forwarded. It seems the frame of her mind is brimming with ideas on subjects which she observes around her. It is also evident that she minutely observe things. A bowel full of fruits and an empty bowel without them ! A common thing of everyday life has been depicted meaningfully and beautifully, I send my best wishes and congratulations to Arianna.

One Night..........by Imran Khan

I lie on the ground,and stare into space,
the stars start to move,into the shape of your face.
I see you there now,looking down at me,
with that cute little smile,that I like to see.

You say "close your eyes","tell me what you see",
I see only two people,just you and me.
We're walking the shoreline,with our feet getting wet,
the horizon turns pink,as the sun starts to set.

We make love through the night,on that white sandy shore,
then I hold you while thinking,I could want nothing more.
Oh I wish I could be,in that one special place,
as I lie on the ground,and I stare into space...Copyright reserved by Imran Khan

ST THERESE OF LISIEUX ---THE LITTLE FLOWER BY CYNTHIA ABEGAIL

noreply@blogger.com (CynthiaAbegail) — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:00:00 +0000

ST THERESE, THE LITTLE FLOWER

Who would imagine that a simple maiden in Lisieux, France would be one of the greatest saints that was canonised in the Christian tradition? As such, one of the nuns even commented, "What will come out good out of Therese?"

God works in mysterious ways. Most of the saints do not have doctorate or master degrees but they do become saints, worthy and pleasing in the sight of God! For the criteria set on becoming a saint is judged not by the earthly wisdom that they have demonstrated here on earth but by the life that they have lived! Did they live the gospel of Christ in their life? Didthey have a loving and compassionate heart, did they have a great lovefor the Almighty God? Did they bear suffering joyously? Did they
submit to the will of God unconditionally?

St Therese cops it all! She had been attributed through her powerful intercession countless miracles, combined most of the other saints! Truly amazing.

St Therese in her early days was also intelligent, could have her moods, could have any person's tantrums. She is a normal teenager, alive andpensive at times. But she became a saint not because her qualities are likethat of ivory but only because she was sincere and she accepted her limitations.
This is the reason why she pondered on the 'the little way' to reach God. Then, she was given the greatest honor a saint could ever get.
She became a Doctor of the Church! Now, let us get this straight. Anyonecould become a saint if God calls. Pray, and it will be given unto you. St Therese, an admirable saint who intercedes for those who invoke her aid by God's grace!
"St Therese, please send us flowers from your heavenly garden!" Feast of St Therese: 1 October

( The following story forwarded by our distinguished writer Molly Varghese Pazhanchira is very unique. It is one of the best stories I have come across. This will move everyone's heart....no doubt. Please read on....) George Kurian /New World
My mom only had one eye. I hated her.... She was such an embarrassment. .She cooked for students & teachers to support the family.There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came toSay hello to me.I was so embarrassed.How could she do this to me?I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.The next day at school one of my classmates said, 'EEEE, your mom onlyHas one eye!'I wanted to bury myself.I also wanted my mom to just disappear..I confronted her that day and said, ' If you're only gonna make me aLaughing stock, why don't you just die?'My mom did not respond....I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, becauseI was full of anger.I was oblivious to her feelings.I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her.So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.Then, I got married.I bought a house of my own.I had kids of my own.I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts, Then one day, myMother came to visit me.She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet herGrandchildren.When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled atHer for coming over uninvited.I screamed at her, 'How dare you come to my house and scare myChildren!'GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!'
And to this, my mother quietly answered, 'Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address,'And she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house.So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip.After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.
My neighbors said that she died.I did not shed a single tear.They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.'My dearest son,I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to your house andScared your children.I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion.But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you.I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you wereGrowing up.You see........when you were very little, you got into an accident, andLost your eye.As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with one eye.So I gave you mine.I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.With all my love to you,Your mother. Always tell someone that you love them because you never know what day will be their last, or your own.
Always seek to resolve your problems or disagreements with loved onesbecause if either of you should pass on before, the one who is left alive will have the rest of their life to ponder those unresolved feelings but will never find closure. And closure usually bringsPeace... .

There is No Other(Very beautiful and meaningful poem. Cynthia shows us to love our God Almighty. He loves us and guides us and every step He is with us. Indeed a great poem)New World

Love Him with all your heart and soul,
The Omniscient who loves our goal
He created Wisdom that pervades,
There is no Other, my accolades!

Where He is present is Holy Ground,
He dwells within us with faith beyond
A mustard seed grows a giant tree,
There is no Other, beyond the mulberry.

Hearts of stone become hearts of flesh,
Untiring Jeremiah proclaimed without rest
Grace filled with love abounds domain,
There is no Other, above mist and rain!

My soul searches in the balmy night,
My mind searches in the sunny breeze,
My heart searches in spring so bright
There is no Other, I say without cease!

Thanks when morning has broken,
Thanks when sunrise awakens
Thanks when the fields turn green,
There is no Other, only HIM!

Today's chuckle!

Subject: A man + casket

A man who makes caskets was on his way to deliver one of the coffins when his car broke down.
Trying not to be late, he put the coffin on his head and began heading to his destination.
Some policemen saw him and wanted to make some money off him (bribe), so they challenged him:
"Hey!!! What are you carrying and where are you going?!"
The man said, "I do not like where I was buried, so I am relocating".
...the Policemen ran for dear life !!!

SHORT STORY#ANNIE LOST IT# CYNTHIA BERNARDO

noreply@blogger.com (CynthiaAbegail) — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:00:00 +0000

ANNIE LOST IT

Annie is a gentle, gracious lady who lived across Jones St.
She is about middle-aged, full of life and lives a comfortable
life. What can I say? She is blessed with a warm, positive
demeanor and I thought that her world seems to be sun-
filled. Although I know that that is nowhere near from
the truth, when I am with her--- the valleys seems green
and verdant and the flowers are always in bloom.

I have come and go that street and I meet her about once
a week on the road. There's nothing "rush" for her. She's just
cool no matter what happens. Then one day I met Julie,
her sister. I said, "What's up?" Julie replied, Annie is now
confirmed with Alzheimer's disease!" My heart just melted
for her because I am already fond of her and her sweet
disposition. I asked Julie, "How did it happen, I meet her all the
time and she seems alright." Julie replied, "We already saw
some signs five months ago. But now, she really lost her
memory and she can't recognise anybody."

I walked away after giving Julie some consolation. With a heavy
heart, I visited her the following day in the nursing home. When
I arrived in the hospital, tears rolled from my eyes. My friend
looked like a five year old toddler. She still have that sincere
smile but her eyes are blank. I remembered my friend, Josh
who had Alzheimer's, too. He used to wander in the city and
thanks to the Lord, that he is always brought home by friends.
Sadly, he passed away after a one and a half year.

Annie does not like to eat, but she drinks once and a while.
Now I realise, it may not be longer that she may live. After
about eight months, she passed away. Annie lost it---her
memory and now I know that it's a crucial disease. Thanks
to Alzheimer's and Dementia group in our community who
helps people with early signs of this devastating disease.

Annie, my beloved friend! She lost her memory but not
everything. She lives in the memories of her relatives and
friends. What more, she is a child of God---a servant of the
Lord for twenty years. May eternal light shine upon her...
Morale: We never know what's in store for us. Some things
happen unexpectedly. Abide in the Lord always!

CORRECT ME LORD: REFLECTION BY PRAYER AID

noreply@blogger.com (CynthiaAbegail) — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:04:00 +0000

Correct me, Lord, but only with justice, not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing. Jer 10:24

Just like suffering is part of human life, failure is also part of life. No matter how hard we try, no matter much we prepare, there will be times when we fail to act ‘correctly’ Our failure will also include failure to love, failure to forgive those who have hurt us, failure to let go of long standing wounds. Today, we are inviting Jesus to ‘correct’ our failure to forgive and set us free from it, lest it puts distance between Him and us.

(Thanks to Jane Pimenta for stressing on the vulnerability of man. For no one can boast, all fail. On the other hand, we can always ask from God the grace to correct our failure for renewal of our relationship with Him. Excellent). New World

THE BOSS: Forwarded by Elsie Baby

noreply@blogger.com (georgekurian) — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:00:00 +0000

THE BOSS

*What an example!!! *
There were about 70 scientists working on a very hectic project. All of them were really frustrated due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting the job. One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - Sir, I have promised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going on in our township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm.
His boss replied "OK, You're permitted to leave the office early today" The Scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt he was close to completion. The time was 8.30 PM. suddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children. He looked for his boss, he was not there. Having told him in the morning itself, he closed everything and left for home.
Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children. He reached home. Children were not there. His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines.
The situation was explosive; any talk would boomerang on him. His wife asked him "Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry.
The man replied "If you would like to have coffee, I too will have but what about Children??" Wife replied "You don't know? Your manager came here at 5.15 PM and has taken the children to the exhibition " What had really happened was ... The boss who granted him permission was observing him working seriously at 5.00 PM. He thought to himself, this person will not leave the work, but if he has promised his children they should enjoy the visit to exhibition.
So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition. The boss does not have to do it every time. But once it is done, loyalty is established.
That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was tremendous.
By the way, can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was..?
He was none other than Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Ex-President of India.

HEALTH# FUTURE OF GENOMICS

noreply@blogger.com (georgekurian) — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:00:00 +0000

(The following is a very important information about genome sequencing and the future of genomics. It appeared in the MSN news and thanks to the Msn.news- Quoted from new technologies changing the world.Newworld)

Next-generation genomics

Learning how to map the human genome was just the start. By now, scientists have figured out how to sequence genes so quickly and cheaply that genetic mapping will soon be part of routine health care -- and with big benefits.
"Within five to 10 years, cancer will be a completely manageable disease," predicts Junhyong Kim, a co-director of the Penn Genome Frontiers Institute at the University of Pennsylvania.
One of the problems in treating cancer is that tumors evolve to resist chemotherapy. By mapping a tumor's genes, doctors will be able to quickly figure out the best new line of attack.
Soon, inexpensive gene sequencing will bring desktop sequencing by doctors as a part of any checkup. Researchers are also figuring out how to write synthetic DNA to insert into cells to cure diseases. This kind of genetic engineering will also be used to help create new drugs.
Needless to say, given the outrage over genetically modified farm crops, playing with human genes is going to be controversial. Will parents use genetic mapping to figure out what a child will look like as part of a decision on whether to terminate a pregnancy? What about privacy issues stemming from the storage of personal genetic information on computers? Will all this open the door for new forms of bioterrorism, using genetically modified germs?
So which companies are pioneering this area? Genomic Health (GHDX) offers genetic tests that help determine who will benefit from which kinds of chemotherapy so doctors can target treatments to those who will benefit and spare the rest. Myriad Genetics (MYGN) and Qiagen (QGEN) also profit from genomic diagnostic tests, says Benowitz.

( We are proudly presenting another lovely literary piece from our esteemed writer Cynthia Abegail Bernardo)New World
Fondness of Affection
Why did you come into my life?
Captivated by your charm...
Is this real or just another dream
Bewildering moments so endearing!

It is beyond my understanding,
The heart is fickle at moments
What I feel is the joy at a time
Adrift with fog of uncertainty

Life is a mystery beyond compare,
Things happen at unguarded moments
I like to forget but it did not happen
Quite a feeling that still remain!

Pondering the time by the sky,
At the seashore behind the rye
Everywhere I see your eyes,
Is this real or just a dream

I thought it is just around fleeting,
Like a mist that truly disappears
But now it may be for real,
Enamored and captivated by will!

I HAVE SEEN THE LORD: REFLECTIONS FORWARDED BY MARIA CASSIA

noreply@blogger.com (CynthiaAbegail) — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:00:00 +0000

I have seen the Lord, says Mary of Magdala on the day
of the resurrection. She has the honor of seeing our
beloved Jesus ahead of the disciples. She was the one
who called him "Rabbuni" which means Master.

What is in Mary of Magdala that she stands out? First,
she was a sinner! God seeks the lost, and heaven rejoice
if one sinner is regained at any time. How about the
righteous? Did God forgot about them? Not at all.
In fact, the Story of the Prodigal Son attest to this
truth. The father in the story told the older, bitter son:
"All I have is yours, but we must rejoice for your brother
is lost but has been found."

God loves the good and the sinners as well. The only thing is:
we must always run to our Heavenly Father and seek his
forgiveness. The ocean of mercy of our God is unfathomable
and beyond understanding. We are encouraged to come back
to the Lord. Run tears of penitence and with contrite heart,
try to say, "Father, I have sinned and offended Thee. Please
forgive me from all my sins and with Thy grace, please help
me not to sin again." Thus, we regain bonding with our Lord.

CATCH YOU LATER POEM BY MARY VARGHESE

CATCH YOU LATER

BY MARY VARGHESE

Catch you later…….
A phrase so commonly, so randomly,
So carelessly used by us…humankind.
Can we really catch later?
Moments….tender and delicate
Moments….poignant and beautiful…..
Can we catch later………………….
The shy blush of the blooming flower
In the embrace of the caressing gentle breeze.
Can we catch later…………………
The gleeful abandon of the twittering butterfly
Who is here today and gone tomorrow.
Can we catch later………………………
The twinkling in the eye of the lover meeting
His beloved’s in the orange magical dusk.
Lost in busyness, in the daily grind
Can we but stop, just for a moment
To savor, to relish, to delight in
Small, insignificant moments of real significance??
Can we be captivated by the moment of beauty
The moment so fleeting….turning eternal
Into an everlasting one, inerasable from our being
Surprising and uplifting our spirits!!!!!
Can we just pause awhile…………………..
Linger enough to capture and be captured
By the most delicate, highest and holiest moments
Moments of beauty and magic spread out
By the Maker of beauty…JUST FOR US!!!
