It is only a tiny rosebud,A flower of God's design,
But I cannot unfold the petals With these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers Is not known to such as I,
The flower God opens so sweetly, In my hands would fade and die.

I cannot unfold a rosebud,  This flower of God's design,
Then how can I have wisdom To unfold this life of mine?

So I'll trust Him for His leading Each moment of every day
And I'll look to Him for His guidance Each step of the pilgrim way.

For the pathway that lies before me My heavenly Father knows
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments Just as He unfolds the rose.

A Redeemed Hamlet …. And, We Are Again On Its Floor Steps

I am sorry for not being able to connect with our village and its seemingly present situation! It is unfortunate that i come to know of it through our friends' mails, though somehow i come into contact with our people and those from our neighbourhood.

'A friend in need is a friend indeed.' As such our people may need our help the most at such times. However, whatever we can collect and give, that won't be of much value at such times. So, i too would like to subscribe the position of Fr. Lucian. Whatever we could collect, that could be utilized for some better causes as it is the government which has to care of such emegencies.

Hope, that you all know that Fr. Russel Ignatius was transferred from our village and Fr. Gerard D has taken charge as our new Parish Priest. While welcoming the new Parish Priest with all enthusiasm and much hope, let us not forget to thank Fr. Russel for his service to our village for the past few years and wish him well in his future ministry wherever he is. The new Parish Priest is from Adimalathurai and presently he is coming from the Parish of Kochuthura near Puthiyathura.

Let us work together with this new Priest for the welfare and development of our village and the preservation of our culture, heritage and history.

I am trying to enlist some of our friends here to contribute to the website and otherwise.

I am very glad and elated to share the happy news recently published
in prestigious "Science" magazine.

The Great research finding is says the most ancient human civilization
2500 BC at Indus Valley used the Script closely resembles the
Dravidian language TAMIL.

So we are all proud to born and live with TAMIL language.

I would like to emphasis the two following paragraphs from the Article:

"Moreover, this conditional entropy appears to be most similar to
Sumerian (a logo-syllabic script roughly contemporaneous with the
Indus script) and Old Tamil (an alpha-syllabic script), and falls
between those for English words and English characters."

"The similarity in conditional entropy to Old Tamil, a Dravidian
language, is especially interesting in light of the fact that many of
the prominent decipherment efforts to date (9–11) have converged upon
a proto-Dravidian hypothesis for the Indus script."
