Posted: December 10, 2008 in An Idea can change your life, Conversations, Popular culture, random thoughts, samuel thambusamy, Thinking aloudWe live in a world of lies, spin and deceit. People say to you things that they don’t mean. They tell other people things about you that aren’t true. Everything is given a spin. Insignificant things are hyped and then presented as a grand spectacle. A word is no longer a word. A promise is [...]
Attacks against Christians: What is our reponse?
Posted: September 7, 2008 in random thoughts, Thinking aloudTags: attacks against the Church, Orissa, persecution
I am appalled at the rampant insensitivity in most Indian-Christian responses to the gross human rights violation in Orissa. In 1999, We didn’t know how to respond to the attacks against the Church in Gujarat. It’s been almost a decade now and We still haven’t learnt to respond to attacks against hapless tribal christians.

Every-body, Some-body, and No-body
Posted: September 18, 2007 in Following Jesus, random thoughts, Thinking aloud- by Samuel Thambusamy (Dis) engaging with body images How do we (dis) engage with ‘wishual’ body images that enter our lifespace? Explicit body images are all over the place – magazine covers, calendars, movie poster, music channels, music videos and media. Images assault our imagination and no wonder we are a sex soaked generation. [...]
The newspaper article ” modern life leading to depression’ (DC 15 Sept 2007) caught my attention. Every one wants to live ‘fully’ and ‘meaningfully’ and yet…urban life just falls apart. Computers and Internet (both emails and websites) have become our worst enemy. They assaults our personhood, assaults our imagination, affect our attitudes and worse, takes away [...]
It’s been a long time since I blogged in my own personal (blog) space. It not that I don’t have anything to write. In fact, there are exciting things happening. But I just logged on to write about a “best parent practice” that got me excited ever since I heard it. A friend of mine [...]
