WIPED OUT DREAMS!

GUEST POST
A poem by Serene Sarah Zachariah (my sister)



WIPED OUT DREAMS


I lay back down and close my eyes
It has been seven years I realise
The days have passed
The dreams have crashed
I look back again, not in despair
I turn back again, for just a glare
It was a day,my wedding day
Just as I had dreamed, the day would be
Laughter and joy filled the air
Preparations continued with no time to spare.
I looked at the sky with hopes of tomorrow
It smiled back at me without any sorrow
The morning light had filled my room
My heart was glad without any gloom
I looked at my face
And i had began to praise
For the day had come
My wedding day,the most awaited one
I stood there in pure white
And my parents looked at me with pride
Their daughter, oh so dear
Will leave them, in time oh so near
The moment was nearing
There was no point in fearing
Then a sudden phone call
Changed the mood the church hall
In an accident, groom had died
Shattered and heartbroken ,there I cried
I was hoping to go back in time
But the clock had already struck nine
It was evening and I open my eyes
My life has changed, I realise
Old dreams have been washed off
And new ones have taken a loft
Life goes on and there is no stop
More doors will be open
For there is a God, there is much more to happen .

His Final Message to the World: Don’t Give Up on Your Dream”

My father’s brother — our dearest Lalu Uncle — went to be with the Lord in October 2025. He had travelled to Delhi to deliver this TEDx talk, but sadly, he never got the chance. He passed away before he could step onto that stage. If he had delivered this speech, it would have been one of the most inspiring and viral talks of all time. Take just 2 minutes to read through his incredible testimony — a journey of failure, faith, resilience, and destiny. The last speech Abraham Zachariah prepared – to deliver at TEDx I didn’t go to school. I was sent to school. Hence, for 10th standard, marks were very low and I could get admission only for Commerce group, as no one wanted (is 55 years ago) in my home state Kerala. My mother was very upset as my cousins and friends got into Science groups and she pushed me into Commerce Group. I was used to tell everyone that “Useless fellow, useless fellow, useless fellow are in Commerce Group and all the useless ones are in commerce group.” She was...

“When Love Becomes a Language”

 It has been 9 years since I married Rohit and became a part of this beautiful family, and in that time I came to know Amma as an all-rounder.  I remember once asking Appa about the collection of awards in the showcase, and he told me that most of them belonged to Amma. From writing to creative thinking, to receiving “Best Employee” awards at Cochin Refinery.. ( thats wher she worked) —she was always at the top in everything she did. I even came across her handwritten recipe book, filled with recipes for many dishes including doughnuts which was uncommon back then. Every page was written with neat handwriting and exact measurements. Rohit often told me how Saturdays at home were almost like a feast when Amma would prepare a variety of new dishes for the family. Food was her love language and she found joy in serving the family.  Amma had a way of finding cute coincidences. Amma told me soemthig she had figured out. she told that all the daughter in laws of the house....

Follow your Passion, It will lead you to Success!

  Name: Bittu Jacob Owner of Baked for you by Bittu   1. Why did you pursue baking as career?   During my school days I enjoyed baking with my ‘Amma’. After getting married I used to bake occasionally at home and when we had guests at home.   On my son’s 5 th   birthday, I decided to make a fire truck shaped fondant cake. It was my very first attempt baking a fondant cake from scratch. When my family saw the cake they were quite impressed. To be honest the cake tasted lovely but it was not like those very neat fondant cakes . My family encouraged me to level up my skill by attending cake décor classes.       So I attended a class and learned the basics of cake decoration. Even at that point of time I never thought of taking this up professionally. That same year (2016) in the month of December my Appa asked me to bake 10 cakes to gift his friends. I was nervous about this but my Appa had full confidence in me. He convinced...
