Mr MC is a relative of mine thru my marriage.  He has been kind and affectionate to me from the beginning.  He has helped during critical times like my daughter's higher education and also at the time of my daughter's marriage.  I am very much indebted to him for all his kindness and support.  He is a retired Head Master.  May God bless him and his family!

innocent person.  His children, Ammu and Aravind, are very much

My Photo Album-177: My brother-in-law, Sukumar

This is my wife's second younger brother, Sukumar. Right from the beginning, life has been very unkind to him and he has met with a lot of sufferings and tragedies, with courage and confidence.  I feel very sad for him and his children

All his family members used to be very affectionate to me.  Then, one member, the sheet-anchor of the family, passed away.  Both his children were very attached to me.  But now they have grown and probably have many other interests and have no time for this, to borrow one of their favourite phrases,  "MOKKAI MAMA".  

May God bless them all and may they find peace, prosperity and happiness!

A Thought for Today-602: W. C. Doane

Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself - W. C. Doane, American Bishop

He is an embodiment of patience.  I find many sterling qualities of my mother-in-law in him.  By patient struggle and hardwork, he has come up in life.  As I do not want to embarrass him, I shall not elaborate anymore. May God bless him!
