Amen by Sister Jesme

Sister Jesme, ( name made from, “Jesus and Me” she says ).  Served as a nun in the CMC congregation for about 33 years. On August 31st, 2008, she decided to leave the congregation and life there. If you are saying “that’s crazy”, read this ; she has PhD in English Literature, and was principal for two colleges in Kerala, 3 years each.

Oh, I see a big WHY on your face now. The same “why” that  made me buy the book and finish reading it the next day (178 pages, it was not tough).

This book is not a complete autobiography, since it tells only her life inside the convent and why she left that place. And I felt that the book was written in “hurry” since the language was not “polished” enough for someone with great knowledge in English literature.

Hi Ubuntu, this is my first blog post with you. You look so cute !! (  but, I know I can not judge your personality from the way you look like, I need to know you  more, before I can decide if you qualify as my best friend. But let me tell you, first impression was very good. )

One of my friends, Binny V A helped me to get you installed on my laptop. You were  friendly and helpful from the first step the very last one.

I am not really new to Linux and open source, I know your brother Fedora for  3 years and we  are still good friends ( we meet every day at office ).

Yes, installation was easy, but I had to spend hours to correct the screen resolution issue. Finally, got it fixed, ( by 3 in the morning btw ) and now, you look really beautiful.

I hope you enjoy my blog and laptop !!

Yes, the incomplete me because, I don’t read enough books these days. “These days” can be defined as “last 3 years”.

When I was in college, I used to read 3 – 5 books a week plus lot of magazines from College library and our village library. I always had a book with me, even while having my food. Just like how you look for your favorite brands in a supermarket, I searched for books by my favorite authors and tried to finish them one by one, – one author at time !!

So what happened to my reading habit ? It was a gradual change. It all started when I got my first job. When  I started working, I did night shifts most of the time. I enjoyed night shifts, and my teammates enjoyed me doing night shifts !! So when you do night shift, you need to sleep during the day time right ? Well, I used to sleep the entire day !! and slowly, my reading habit died !!
