Certa Virililiter


The Background
Certa Viriliter is our College motto "Fight Manfully"
From college days I had a liking for extra curricular activities and to engage in social activities.The certificates which I have received from the principal and others bear witness to that.
I feel that I have a bounden duty to serve HIS people at least in the latter part of my life though I ignored the CALL at my early life.
My policy is never regret but do what is best at the moment.
I have decided that this is my last appointment I will be serving.I have joined this Blue Chip Company run by Indian expatriates with a work force of 4000 employees working 24 hours with three shifts.Later I was promoted as a
Senior Accountant and rose up to Chief Accountant cum Senior Manager.Subsequently the government took over the Company and I intend retiring once obligatory matters are completed.

Evening of My Life



I was born poor.Yet mother guided me to follow studies to become a professional.I am grateful to her never forget to visit her every month and spend a day or two with my family .Though feeble but attend to her work.She is so happy to see my family.Her daily prayers in the morning noon and night never miss us.We are so blessed because of our Creator.
Life changes with passage of time.When you are young your desires are; earn and enjoy life to the brim.But as you grow old you begin to think; what have you done in return to the Bless and to your own fellow Christians? I still remember what I have learned in the catechism class;
"I am in your mids as one who serves"
So I am neither alone nor too late to begin my journey with your help and support.
