on being 60 plus...

It's been quite a while awhile that I did not write in my blog, as I have been paying some attention to my Facebook. However there are certain things that one wants to write that is of limited publicity …..

Its really about my health once again -

Of late I have been experiencing s/s of most probably is oeste-oarthritis. my knee joints are becoming stiff and of course my right shoulder joint has been painful and of restricted movement since several months. My all rounder surgeon colleague asked me to do wall climbing test with my fingers and of course I could still do that without much difficulty. As the shoulder joint was giving a cracking sound when I rotate - I tried to do lots of exercise with the joint with perhaps the result that the ligaments there got stretched and hence become more troublesome when I want to use it - hence holding my self up or taking a grip with my right hand on the right hand in a moving bus or metro becomes more difficult - it may give way /not hold me up if a real test come such as a jolt or a bump!

Recently as I wrote I injured my left knee joint - I suspect the soft tissues around my left knee got overs retched as I did a knee bending exercise - sit up or with my feet planted on a railing. I had the feeling as it got a little dislocated  but I could still walk. next morning I found out my left leg would not take any weight - my body weight is no joke - in a short frame of just 5'3" I weight around 85 kg. So I had to be supported by my better half - who herself had two episodes of back pain - slip disk in the past. I am taking medicine - Acetaminophen +Tramadol combination and it helped and also used Moov Spray. This helped a lot.

What made worse the pain was that I have is a combination of left knee and right should so that - on rising from the bed or floor its so difficult to do as my right hand won't be able to provide the support needed

However believe it or not on that fateful morning as I look to God in payer - the first words that formed in my mind were - being grateful for a long long spell of good health and well being for all the time of my regular service ….. till I reach 60+ ……. Today having reached the year of retirement I continue on a contractual engagement …..  God has been good

Day after I have a meeting at Chennai which I am planning not to miss - I should be able to do . Then next week a weeklong travel to Manipur doing a variety of things……. life will go on

my fav paite song


KA MANG LEH TANPA 

Hon gumpa koi lai ah na om 
Chi in ka hon zong zong hi,
Kei din thil thupi N’on bawlsak a, 

Ka Tangtawn Van pahna ding.

Aw Hon tanpa thupi pen,
Aw Hon Gumpa lamdang pen, 

Kei din sing hamsia tung ah na
hong thuak, Ka Mang leh Tanpa Na hi.

Aw N’on itna thuk leh zat dan
Kua man mu pha ngei lou uh; 
Thangvan misiangthou khempeuh ten zong, 
A thuk dan mu ban lou uh. 

Aw na hong kum suk lai bang in, 
Tu in ka hon mu thei lou;
Hizong na hon itna sim thu siah,
Ka lai lung sung ah thaam den


Aw ka laukha khau bang chiah in 
Nang hon Gum Toupa kiang ah;
A khut taklam ah vat u in la,
Na tangtawn van khopu ah

preparing my year planner for 2014

Cornelius, Peter and Me

Cornelius Captain of an Italian Regiment
He and his family - devout and God fearing
Giving generously to those in need
And praying to God regularly

He had a vision and distinctly saw an angel of God
Who called out his name 'Cornelius'
And told him his prayers and gifts came up before God as memorial offering
And instructed him to take further forwards steps in his relationship with God

Peter a fisherman turned disciple and later a leader
Up on the rooftop of a tanner's house, he prayed with an empty stomach and fell into a trance,
He was given a symbolic message to take steps beyond what he was comfortable to do
And he obeyed and proved that God shows no partiality and is no respecters of persons

Me, God's child, will I have prayer as a regular important item in my year planner for 2014?
Can my year plan include striving towards becoming a devout God fearing family?
What regular acts of mine might go up before God as my 'memorial offerings'?
Will I be obedient to the divine plan should that mean to step outside my own comfort zone?
