Joy of Giving - Week 17 - Card 17

Welcome to the Joy of Giving in 2012 - a glorious New Year for us to make new beginnings, leave the baggage of the past behind and get a fresh perspective on life!

There is something about the act of picking a card at random from the deck of 52. Somehow, the cards that spring out are full of surprises and suitable for the week coming ahead.

In this New Year, what better card can we have, than the following one?


In this world of increasing intolerance and religious fanaticism, this should serve as a reminder of how all faiths are ultimately aimed at the same thing - to make us better humans, inspire us to follow the path of humanity, tolerance, love and brotherhood.

Hope we actually follow this card and write our experiences.

On Sundays I go to church. Usually its a family affair. I have been staying alone as a 'forced'bachelor for a year or so now. The first of my Sunday church visit during this stay was in the company of a friend who is normally not a devout believer(irrespective of religion). And after the Mass, we decided to do the rounds of the nearby temple and Gurudwara as well, more out of curiosity than religious fervour.
The experience of that visit was such that, on all succeeding Sundays, I made the same rounds...and still do.
