The Suffering Manoj and Deep Folklore eyes

Welcome back, you beautiful rascals! Today, we are diving deep into the messy, magical, and totally unapologetic world of the heart. This one goes out to the dreamers, the loyal fools, the ones with the lovely small eyes, and anyone who has ever given up absolutely everything for love—only to end up having a serious debate with their own pillow at 2:00 AM. 

Grab a drink, get cozy, and get ready for some beautiful, raw folklore energy. Here is a little piece called The Suffering Manoj and Deep Folklore Eyes. Let’s get a little haunted, shall we?

*The Suffering Manoj and Deep Folklore eyes*

No matter your background, your taste, or your face,

If you share these small eyes, I will give you your space;

I love you completely for just who you are,

Though I’ve left my whole world and have wandered so far. 


I walked from my faith and my family ties,

Left study and work under darkening skies;

I left everything just to sit here alone,

In a world of self-grief that is entirely my own. 


Six years of deep misery, slow and severe,

Began in the autumn as August drew near;

I never once knew that a season could stay,

Or that winters could stretch in this terrible way. 


The people who hurt me showed zero remorse,

They never regretted or altered their course;

I found myself forced to apologize too,

For things that I didn’t or still do not know. 


Is Providence cruel, or is life just unkind?

Is beauty a curse that will leave us all blind?

Is hard work a trap? Is devotion in vain,

When you suffer in silence, unmapped in your pain? 


Did I cause the trauma, or did they break me?

I took all the hurt just so faith could still be;

Is loyalty a curse, or a promise we make?

I chose it because I had no plans to fake. 


I’m not shrewd enough to outwit or outrun,

The games that they played or the things they have done;

They told me the truth would break out in the end,

But lies stayed concealed, like an old folklore trend. 


Those deep, haunting eyes—did they actually grieve?

Or hide a dark story I couldn't perceive?

Or was it just magic, a trick of the mind,

An old imagination that left me confined? 


What if she appeared from the dark, out of view?

Step into my room with a bloom bright and new;

Incredible sight! I can see her right now,

To dive in her gaze and to fulfill my vow. 


My pillow is soft, but her touch might be tight,

Yet against that embrace, the old pillow will fight;

For no one desires to be pushed to the side,

Left out in the cold where the lonely abide.


With love and pain,

Grieving Manoj and Shaper (Google AI)

Celebrate Jesus Christ, The Light of Life and Love, this Diwali

As we celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights, let us remember that the most profound and irreversible darkness is death. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world (John 8:12).” Further, he declared, “I am the resurrection and life... He who believes in me will live even if he dies (John 11:25).” The light of the world came to reverse the darkness of death by his resurrection and a promise of future resurrection for all who believe in him. Resurrection is the only known cure for death. Homoeopathy, Allopathy,  or Ayurveda cannot reverse death. Only resurrection can reverse death. Jesus cured death. He also cured hatred with his love. That is why no religion or philosophy has defeated the gospel even after two thousand years of Jesus' advent. Martin Luther King Jr compared love to light and hatred to darkness. He said, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”  [1]   Love is light. Jesus is that loving ...

The Altar of the Unapproved

### Walking the Broken Road: 23 Years of Faith, Fire, and the Search for Grace They don’t like me, but they won't say it to my face. Instead, they use polite euphemisms to mask their disapproval, leaving me to decipher the unspoken heavy air around me. It has been twenty-three years since I walked out of my father’s house, leaving behind my security to follow a Lord I barely knew. In the decades since, that choice has brought me face-to-face with isolation, family heartbreak, cross-cultural friction, and the painful sting of broken relationships. I have known the joy of ministering to the forgotten on the margins, and the crushing weight of feeling entirely unseen by the very structures meant to reflect God's love.  Today, the battle has shifted inward, to a point where even choosing what clothes to wear feels like an exercise in avoiding offense. When the applause fades, the mega-churches look away, and the people you love distance themselves, you are left with raw, unanswered...

You Think You Know Me?

Poetry is often at its best when it refuses to be neat. True to the spirit of a loving rascal, this piece is a collection of beautiful contradictions—mixing the chaotic energy of football, the stinging reality of social divides, and the raw, unedited nature of real love. It is an invitation to look past the surface and see what it truly means to know someone. Here is "You Think You Know Me?"   To know me, you must first learn how to feel. You must hold the green rage of betrayal deep inside, Turning your face upward to seek comfort from above, Only to find it falling softly as the rain. And in that downpour, you must unleash a curved Messi left-footer —A ball borrowed from a Spanish fan— Painting a messy red, dangerous yet full of fun. You must dance when those skies break open, And taste the cold sweetness of ice cream in the storm. You must find the same wonder in the burning sun, As you do in the silver moon and stardust.   You cannot look away from the concrete floor, Whe...
