Women Of Honor :: We 'Guys' rocked it...

It all began when I received this sms on 7th Nov 2008 from Ajay Cardozo the worship leader from New Life Fellowship Bandra Church, inviting me to be a backup for their bassist who had fallen sick. I was more than excited to be a part of something Big... for the "Women Of Honor" Conference which was held on 13th Nov 2008. Though this conference was held by over 1400 women I didn't get to see a single person's face as this spotlight constantly hit my eyes temporarily blinding me... But it was truly a great time with the folks...

PS. It was really really really uncomfortable playing in the suit...

The Guy Who Checked Out Rob...

Yesterday was a crazy day... we had gone to stitch a tuxedo for my cuz Rob. So we are here at a place in Bandra with another friend Carmeline who believes she knows Bandra 'in and out' but didn't know which platform leads where...

We looked thru certain materials after browsing thru a magazine. I was indeed surprised that we could zero onto the fabric in just 20mins. I thought having a woman with us would mean we would be lallygagging around the shop for at least an hour and a half... but now I believe if it was just the guys we would have done it in quicker... say 10 minutes?

So this guy calls in his tailor by the name 'Master' who comes to measure Rob. I haven't heard a name Master in a long time only but in Chinese Martial Arts Movies... so I was little dissapointed to see our 'Master'. He was a short guy.. say 5'5 tall with a paunch that reminded me of our adorable Panda (read Kunfu Panda). But then who am I to judge... If the Panda can be the master so can be our 'Master'.

Our 'Master' took out his measuring tape and began to measure him (obviously duh.. what else can u do with the measuring tape other than use it to measure) and began to dictate the measures to the owner of the store who was taking it down on a peice of paper. It was all normal until 'Master' measured his chest... and it was 40 inches. The owner on listening to that was just floored... he said he could'nt believe that Rob had that huge chest... he didn't stop there... he went to admire Rob with how great is that... and how he never had an opportunity to stitich a tux for chest that wide before. It got worse when he realized that Rob's waist was just 34 Inches. And he began admiring more... he went on saying... "WOW... 6 Inches difference between the Chest and the waist... never seen that before..." Poor Rob was getting really uncomfortable... but I am really glad the guy wasnt gay... or Ann wouldnt have left him alive...

It was one hillarious moment we don't wanna forget and one moment Rob never want to experience again... Anyway since you guys have read so much about Rob here... I thought I should put his picture so you guys know what we are talking about...

Ladies and Gentlemen (I meant only the 'gentle' men) Please welcome my cuz... ROB....

P.S. The guy also said... Rob has got a good 'FIGURE'

Forgive & Forget

The Holy Bible, the book I read teaches us to forgive and forget. Something many of us fail to grasp or understand. But then if you look closely its the most complete thing. I have heard many people say, "I will forgive you, but will never forget what you did to me." I really doubt if they have really forgiven the person in the first place... ;)

Forgiveness isn't complete unless it is forgotten...

I have had this special gift where I would forget everything that I been thru or wouldn't remember anyone that has hurt me after I have listened to some soothing music or had a nice nap. And I thought this was a curse over me cos people would just simply walk over me and take me for granted. I really wished I would never forget anything ever and I would begin to hate the people who hurt me.

until I had this little conversation with my friend Ann last night...

As I confided in Ann and told her what I have been thru, I realized how what I had was a gift. But perhaps, I was waiting for a reward for staying calm and bearing it all... not realizing maybe the gift I have is indeed a reward in it... Ann told me how there are some people or things in her life she has found it difficult to forget or forgive and how it has dragged on to ages. But I am really a happy man today as I understand what I possess. I really wanna take this opportunity to thank God for what he has created in me and hope that he would make me use this gift to bless and give hope to someone in need... :)
