Time to write

During the last month, I attended a couple of church sessions and was really amazed with the following
1. use of technology to deliver sermons

Use of technology to spread religious thoughts is kind of controversial ....however I think its one of the key things that any progressive religion should adhere to in order to get the message across to the tech savvy generation X. Today people in general are more aware of technology than they were even 5 years back and so the use of sophisticated presentation software, big screens, full wall blowup of pslams, displaying actual lyrics of the gospels on the screen during chorus music help the pastor address the diverse crowd much more eloquently and effectively. The audience is no longer distracted with a mundane speech, they do not feel guilty of not being able to spot the right page for a gospel in the Bible (you can read it on the projection on the wall !!).
Organized religion is here to stay.

Couldn't help but copy this piece of information from my friend Kali in India...anybody who follows cricket will hopefully know what this is all about!

Porque?

Why? Why do we fall in love? Why do we fall in love very well knowing that it is a bottomless pit of suffering? Why do we trust when we know that they don't? Why do we take trouble for other person when we know that the other person might not do so when required? Why do we feel lonely w/o the other person when we know they are running "errands"? Why love cannot be a little more patient, comforting and selfless? Why do we have expectations? Why? Porque?
