In Bondage!!

Yup....so true...life is flowing and we are flowing along.....Indeed in Bondage!! We crave for liberty, fight for it and finally at times feel we have achieved it, but there is always, something controlling us, an unknown force....why, where ....no one knows....

‘Most people would probably describe their lives as routine, or even mundane. Ask them what’s new or exciting and they’ll probably respond with, ‘same’ or ‘same old’. Every day our schedules are pretty much written in stone: From the time we get up until the time we finally put our heads back down on the pillow, routine is apparent in most of what we do.

Sure there are days that either surprise us positively or negatively (either when something unexpected and exciting happens or when something disastrous and disappointing occurs). But for the most part, life is ordinary and routine.

This was the learning from the only place visited so far, after landing Connecticut, which was this Church of Saint Patric on Sunday, 8th March 2009.




The mass was more or less similar, but there was discipline, and a charming order and queue row wise, when people moved to accept the holy bread in circular motion… could see bonded families, the breeze was cool.



On way saw Miss Porter's School in Farmington, where Jacqueline "Jackie" Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis wife of the 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy, and First Lady during his presidency from 1961 until his assassination in 1963 studied in 1944–1947. She is remembered for her style and elegance.




Schools, Churches and houses here cannot be easily distinguished. There are not many name boards. Also there are no boundries for anything…except at the rarest of the rare places. Houses are like the picture we learn to make house when in school with slooping roof, and chimney….So that there is heat in the room and during snow fall, it could easily slide down. Also most of them are movable, and they are made of woods….




Also the lesson for the day was: Attending something is different from fully participating. ……

Let us make a difference….
