The Audience

The most memorable event was that of the togetherness of the IPSR'ians and their family who set out in search of a slice of chill weather in the midst of tiring schedules.

The Journey Begins

Two air cabs moved with the IPSR's family to explore the heights of relaxation and togetherness. The dinner at the divine abode was so satisfying. As the cabs began to touch higher altitudes everyone began to search for warmth in their woolen blankets. Mount Carmel Church resort at Munnar has proved to be an ideal host in hospitality.

WEEK IN BRIEF 22 - 27 November, 2010

Quote for the Week

"Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others." - Cicero

Gratefulness is important because it is a reflection of a person’s appreciation and positive reception. A grateful individual feels less deprived and has a greater sense of well-being. Learning to appreciate everything in one’s life requires a lot of practice, starting from the small, simple pleasures to daunting hardships; but once mastered it becomes a vital part of our everyday life. It is equally important to express gratitude towards other people. There’s nothing like showering a few words of praise that can light up a person’s day.

WEEK IN BRIEF 15 - 20 November, 2010

Quote for the Week

"A goal without a plan is just a wish." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

How many wishes have you made in your life? How many have come true? Wishes are akin to expectations - you wish for something and hope for the best. They are all about what you would like to have. On the other hand, goals are about what you must have; they are specific, result-oriented and mostly realistic. We often think of our target, and pave our way precisely just to reach that destination. Goals are about sweat and effort, with a dash of hope.
