Pastor Earl Stubbs and Mrs. Stubbs!!

Guys...u must be expecting me to write about my feelings after coming back home...but there was sumthng I wanted to write b4 I do this....as soon as I landed in India I heard this tragic news and this space in my blog is my small tribute to a gr8 man of God....I still remeber my engg days wen I kinda messed things wid ppl in my church....I evn stopped attending the church...I dint want 2 go back....and My dad then took me and sruju to AGS- Assemblies of God....and it was the first time I saw this man....Pastor Stubbs.... I was excited to see an American Pastor.....Everything was so nice in AGS tht I fell in love wid the church.....I kept going back evn after I made up with things in my church...... And of course it was Pastor Stubbs' vision ....the founder and pastor of the church which made the church so special.....I marvelled at he way he preeched....I luved his jokes.....he always walked on the overflow areas smiling and shaking hands wid people....I wondered bcos it was so unlike wat Pastors do....No one ever taught like him....It was like listening to an organised lecture....and it was so easy to take down notes...... and he was so particularly particualr about his faith....I still remember his sermon on faith...He said - Bibile says If you hav a faith the size of mustard seed, you can ask 4 anything and it will happen....and then he went on to explain the characteristics of a mustard seed....how round it is and how complete our faith should be...!!Just not the church but the whole city suffers a great loss with his demise....I marvel at this wonderful man of God who came to a alien city , made it his home, learnt the completely different culture and did so much to spread the word of God in this place....They dedicated a song to him on the sunday service and I so much agree with it...Thank you Pastor and I am so glad tht u came....!! I will never question God's will bcos we can't do it....but I jus hope tht the good work tht Pastor has started will continue and expand....And May God bless his soul...!!

Getting back home...!!

Since I started this, I have been thinking of writing.....I just did not know what to write....reason - not many musings in chandu's mind now-a-days....have been preparing for my India trip.....so there is nothing going on in my mind except India....I am completely and totally excited....its obvious that I'll never forget my life back in Hyderabad....but its also true that I will always want to go back to the place....the place where my roots are.......I sometimes wonder what made me take this decision of coming away from home.......I left everything ( and by everything I mean literally everything) back there to pursue something which really hasn't given me much happiness....but I guess that is life...you learn from your experiences and mistakes....Anyway this post was supposed to be about India especially Hyderabad. I have been waiting to go back...and the time has come now.....I Love my place.....I miss everything there....the busy roads, the crowd on the streets, the shops and malls, charminar :) , the busy buses and the bus rides, my fights with all the autowalas, the panipuri, paradise ka biryani,......above all I miss my friends, my cousins and my family. I am getting back to all of them....It must be like getting back life.....It must be like living again....!!!hmm...that was a bit too emotional....Anyway....I guess I'll be able to write only after going back.....Catch you all then....

Luv,
Chandu...!!
