My Guardian Angel

I know you are in a better place now

I am happy that you won the war of pain and suffering

You are finally in safe, strong Hands

Safer than any of us could have kept you here. 


But I can't help but be selfish a bit

And wish that you were with me some time more.

That would be unfair to you though

As you had to bear decades of endless pain. 


You have left your indelible mark 

On the lives of many

We were blessed to feel that all the more

After you left us that day. 


But you influenced us, your family, the most

And now I feel like a fish out of water,

Knowing that something is missing inside

Something is pulling at my heart. 


I've never seen anyone die before

Not other than in movies-

And I never thought as I stayed there with you

That afternoon it'll happen in front of my eyes.  


But you went so peacefully, so gracefully

A blessed end to such an eventful life-

A life that loved, cared and shared

A life that served and enjoyed every moment. 


Tears will keep coming

Even though we try not to

The agony is still raw inside

Having lost the very chain that bound us. 


Now that you've gone above I know

We can't hide anything from you anymore

Because you got the gallery seat

Along with your precious Saviour. 


Just keep looking over us, Mom

30 days went by in the blink of an eye,

Soon 30 months will pass

Yet your comforting voice will still linger. 


Hover above and guard us all,

Put in a good word to the Maker for us as

We still need your blessings and love

And your everlasting care. 



Miss you, Mom...will always do...

Till we meet again...


With love, 

Remya

O TSA, the Beautiful...

The Schram Academy has become one with my very breath and being for the past 3 years. Ever since I joined in June 2021, I have been in awe of the school. More than a school, it is a haven to mould and mentor future global citizens with confidence and pride. Every year has been equal to a textbook each for me- about administration, team work, teaching strategies, and what not.  TSA gave me this huge opportunity in the midst of the uncertain times during May 2021- with the pandemic still raging out there. I had sent out emails to around 20 schools in a 10 kilometer radius from our parsonage in the Bethel Mar Thoma Church campus, where we got transferred to that month. One and only one school responded to my application and I attended two interviews online here before getting this job. While joining itself I told very clearly that I would most probably be in Chennai for three years only- now those three years passed by in a jiffy- and it is time for me to leave this school that has become

The Bethel on Earth

"How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven."  Genesis 28:17 In the Bible, Jacob built an altar in honour of the Almighty and it was called Bethel- a 'house of God'. Bethel Mar Thoma Church, Padi is one such house of God in Chennai in which believers gather, and incense, praise and prayers rise. It is a House of God in which all the members enjoy such a warm fellowship that gives us that Early Church vibes as we read in the Scriptures. It is a House of God that knows how to give and share the love of their Saviour.  The three of us were still in a trance as we landed in Chennai- on 30th April, 2021- particularly me, not willing to accept the way we came all of a sudden to a new place- and especially dejected after getting transferred once again during the pandemic. But I know now that through this transfer, God wanted us to understand His goodness and mercy once again- and be a living witness to how His plans are be

A NEW STAR IN THE NIGHTSKY

Death for a Christian is to fall asleep in the arms of Jesus and waking up and finding out that you're home.                                                                                                                                      -Alistair Begg It is not easy. Death. Waking up to the news of the passing away of a loved one. Especially when its the 4th death in a row within the span of 10 months. When someone is sick and we know they are suffering, it is easier to process the reality- but not when its a sudden demise like an accident or simply not waking up from your sleep- or how about you just leave home one fine morning to go to church or work and never come back. And to know the death from the other side of the world- again, totally devastating.  Linu Mathew Koshy- our dear Linu achachan. An epitome of a scholar and the most giving person I know of his age group. There are evangelists and priests who have come to me knowing that we are cousins. He was always such a s
