Contributions to our life beyond professional work accomplishments

-
2019 2nd half just began. Just reviewed my 1st half contributions to our life beyond professional work accomplishments:

(1) Coaching Younger Gen:

(1.1) My 7th grade Maths tuition student scored 2 grades higher in her 2nd term

(1.2) My 12th grade Physics tuition student scored 94/100 in her final exam

(1.3) My 9th grade tuition student who wasn't going to school & willing to write exams, went finally & I received appreciation from her school teacher


(2) Reducing Global Warming:

I participated in an essay writing competition during school & won 2nd prize. But my real participation began 2.5 yrs back:

(2.1) Not using fan

(2.2) Not using AC

(2.3) Not using lights in daytime. I move my self to the spot there is day light.

(2.4) Using staircases across floors

(2.5) Walking to any work within 2 kms

(2.6) Using mass transportation (bus/train/share cab) as feasible

Really struggled in initial weeks. Then, soul adjusted.

Also, initial months I'd often hear: "How can you sit like this without fan?" & folks switched it on trying to be helpful as soon as they enter my room. Now, they have also given up on me & stopped switching-on fans or lights for me! 😊

Now, I am looking forward to hear your contributions to our life beyond professional work accomplishments; kindly share.

Let all appreciations, praises, & glories be dedicated & offered to God.

    Today's news: "Mumbai and Kolkata may get submerged sooner than earlier estimated. Citing a Climate Central study, New York Times says much of India’s financial capital may be wiped out by 2050, with the city’s “historic downtown core particularly vulnerable”. Similarly, most of Kolkata could lie in the coastal flood risk zone by mid-century. By then, some 36 million Indians would be living on land below the high-tide line. Earlier, an IPCC report suggested that four Indian cities – Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Surat – could sink by 2100 if the current rate of carbon emissions goes unchecked."

Bible demeans women. Really?

-
Image
The charge that the Bible demeans women is a prominent and potent critique in contemporary discourse, powerfully articulated by leading secular thinkers. Figures like Dr. Richard Dawkins, in his book The God Delusion, point directly to Old Testament laws treating women as property and New Testament commands for their submission as clear evidence of the text's misogyny. Similarly, the late Dr. Christopher Hitchens frequently referred such passages to support his claim that religion is fundamentally "contemptuous of women," while neuroscientist Dr. Sam Harris argues that relying on these ancient texts for moral guidance is dangerous, with the subordinate status of women serving as a prime example of how religious dogma can perpetuate social harm and inequality.  Together, their critiques frame the Bible not merely as a historical document with outdated views, but as a source of ongoing moral and social problems, focusing the debate squarely on the content and impact of its ...

Accountability to One Another in Christ

-

  Few years back, my understanding of accountability and judgement got mixed up. If you had asked me a question related to what I did & why I did, I'd immediately think that you were judging me. And, I'd feel vulnerable in responding openly and transparently to your question. I'll often want to know why you want to know & how you are going to use the information.  But the grace of God overflowed for me. Holy Spirit showed me how these worldly principles had been set in my heart causing my passive aggressive behaviors.  Passive aggressive behaviors are the subtle and shrewd things I did or said to smartly avoid answering difficult questions.   Then, I dug into bible to learn the principles of Christ related to accountability in a church community.   Accountability is the fact of being responsible for what I do and able to give a satisfactory reason for it, or the degree to which this happens. Several bible verses speak to the concept of accounta...

How to cope with impending expiry date?

-

Following is a conversation thread among a group of friends.  V: bros how are you all coping with the nearing expiry date. R: nearing ‘expiry date’? I’m looking for organ donors V: Ha ha. R: V, on a serious note, the % of days that I wake up and feel old is slowly increasing - constant aches and pains don’t help either. R: And I keep thinking I should make a will one of these days before it’s too late. V: Yes man and the news of apparently health folks dying of cardiac arrest in their 40s is not helping either.  Looking for some tips to cope S: yes after u go. what if you are in hospital and funds are needed and you are not awake? M: Cope with such news or cope with heart attacks? 😬 V: Open with the impending end… looks like none of you are effected or have come to terms J: Does it really matter, V? The way I figure, may be 3 or 4 people would think of me for any period longer than a day or so after we kick the bucket, and after that, except for the inconvenience caused becau...
