Preparing for Delhi Trip

This evening I will be leaving for New Delhi to attend some official work. It will be my second trip to Delhi this year. This time I'm planning to stay back for Sunday Worship at Mizo Fellowship Service, Free Church, Green Park. The last time I attended the Service was on July 28, 2002. More than four years had passed since then. In my last trip, I didn't had time to visit JNU so this time I'm also planning to visit the Campus and if possible some friends who are still studying there. I'll be coming back to Mumbai on Sunday evening.

On Sunday, after the Church service, we went to David's place. We were Zautea Saiawi and his wife Babie, Kawlnii, Upa C.Samuela, David Sinate and his wife Sarah, their 3 kids -Joshua, Samuel & Daniel-, Puii and Ruth (not in the picture) and me. Zautea mentioned that the next day i.e. September 25 was David's birthday. Hearing that, we planned to have a birthday-eve celebration. Zautea bought a cake and Pi Sarah (David's wife) prepared dinner for all of us. After cake cutting and photo sessions, Pu Samuela (extreme left) prayed for David. We had a nice time there.

Melody came over..

My childhood next -door neighbour. Its more than 10 year since I last saw her. And things had changed a lot. Though I was pretty busy in the offiice and had to stay back late, I'm glad we could find time to talk about our childhood days. She's presently working with one Christian NGO. She came over to my house on Sept 21st. She now on her way to the Netherland to pursue her studies.
