Spiritual need touches every class in India, whether traditional village
farmers who have practiced the ways of their fathers for hundreds of

and most influencial unreached people groups in the country," according
to Dr. T. Valson Abraham (President of India Gospel Outreach).
Mark Zuckerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook. “Facebook has two
‘newsfeeds,’ a personal one unique to your Facebook home page, and a

software that could ‘learn’ your personal preferences and customize

Each year begins with numerous New Year decisions or resolutions. But, they do not lost even for weeks. So, I thought of having “New Intentions” that is applicable for day-to-day life.

As there are twelve months in a year, I have listed 12 intentions that could be picked up and focused during each month.

As an Indian I am proud to know that Slumdog Millionaire has brought laurels to the country. Danny Boyle the director with Loveleen Tandon has produced a master piece. A.R. Rahman deserves full praise and commendation for his world class contribution. The script writer Simon Beaufoy has woven the story in a very attractive style that the audience are not bored but taken along the narration. The film has brought the stark realities of India before the global audience. The elite of the country has spoken against the movie as it brings the other side of India, which is not IT superpower urban India but real India.
