From a Buddhist Monastery.

Who's a "Happy Soul"?

(a) A Happy Soul stops trying to change others but instead, focuses on changing self.
(b) A Happy Soul is one who accepts people for who they are.
(c) A Happy Soul is one who understands that everyone is right on one's own perspective.
(d) A Happy Soul is one who learns to "let go''.
(e) A Happy Soul is one who is able to drop expectations from every relationship and gives for the
      sake of giving.
(f)  A Happy Soul is one who understands that whatever we do, we do it for own peace.
(g) A Happy Soul is one who stops proving to the world, how intelligent one is.
(h) A Happy Soul is one who does not seek approval from others.
(j)  A Happy Soul is one who is at peace with oneself.
(k) A Happy Soul is one who is able to differentiate between "need" and "want" and is able to let go
      of one's wants.
(l)  A Happy Soul is one who stops attaching "happiness" to material things.

Here's wishing you work towards a Happy Soul........

News views.

Sister Kalappura, a Catholic nun - who had lent her support to the recent agitation staged by five nuns in Kochi demanding the arrest of Franco Mulackal on rape charges - has been asked not to discharge her church duties at St Mary's Church parish at Karakkamala, under the Mananthavady diocese in Wayanad.

Syrian Orthodox patriarchate  has warned Priest Yuhanon Ramban of disciplinary action for speaking in support of the nuns' protest.

Why is the church bent on protecting Franco Mulackal? A high priest is not unnecessarily pointed fingers at and especially by a defenceless nun, who would be fully aware of the serious consequences from the system. There has to be validity in the charges and the proof is that he's finally under police scrutiny for his lapses, notwithstanding the sweeping powers that he held and the tremendous clout that he'd in the corridors of power.

He deserves the penalty for his shenanigans!


Tailpiece.

Madhavan, the watchman of the apartments where my sister stays in Palakkad, is seriously ill. The doctor treating on him has given up, it seems. Sad.
