Doing Our Bit The Little Way

Image
We were approaching the end of the financial year, and our Accounts Team was discussing the changes we need to bring about in the new financial year.  I had a little idea that I had long since been mulling over. It had nothing to do with accounts or accounting SOPs whatsoever, but it certainly had something to do with an issue which has long since been very close to my heart - environment. In my own little ways, I try to cut down on my carbon footprints as much as possible, without disrupting the normal routines of a normal life. For example, at work and pretty much everywhere, I try to cut down on the consumption of paper. I print a document only when strictly necessary, avoid taking printed receipts and statements at ATMs, etc.  In fact, if I could have my way, I would totally do away with all kinds of printed  paper work. But since documentation is an integral part of any organizational workflow, that’s not an entirely plausible option. But, now that we...

Pearls Of Wisdom By Atticus Finch

Image
If there’s one book that I would recommend anyone, anytime, it is  To Kill A Mocking Bird  by Harper Lee. This is no  Dan Brown  where you can’t wait to get to the end, or  Harry Potter  where you are transported to a whole new world of spells and spellbinding magic. This book is just an ordinary collection of everyday things that gradually transpires into something truly extraordinary.  Set in the late 1930s, the story revolves around a man called Atticus Finch and his two children, and is neatly woven around the country life of the fictitious Maycomb County in Alabama, US. The narrative, described by Atticus' daughter aged six, invites us to take a fresh look at the world and visualize it from a child's perspective. It also evokes a certain sense of nostalgia as one could easily reminiscence their childhood. 

The Empty Tomb

A young maid in the wee hours of the morning, Approached a tomb with much grief and bemoaning. She went to visit the Lord she so loved to the core, But Mary Magdalene found not what she came looking for. She ran to Peter and John, full of fears unknown, “They have taken the Lord”, she began to groan. Off went the disciples and saw the empty tomb, Linen on the ground and head-cover rolled in gloom. Mary wept and wept, and then she glanced, Upon two angelic figures in white she chanced. Thence saw a man standing, mistook him for the gardener, Spoke the feisty woman with all strength she could garner - “If you have taken him away, tell me where it is; I will go and remove him” her heart beating amiss. “Mary!” exclaimed the Lord, and upon her it dawned, This is her beloved Rabboni of whom she is so fond. #Easter blessings to all. By the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and His beloved Mother in Heaven. You might also like :    The ...
