We are introduced to Precis writing which must always be shorter than the original. It should express only the main theme that too as briefly as possible.and Declension which indicates number, grammatical case, and gender in a sentence. etc.

Maths

Mrs D P David teaches maths for us. Actually during my elementary school in Rangoon, I do not like maths at all. We have a poor classmate who do not have maths text book. I give him my maths text book and my note book together and the next morning he returns the book with the answer written in my notebook. One day our teacher sees this and gives me a spanking. After that I study hard and I do well in the subject. Click here for the whole story.

My Conversion Story Spiritual Journey of Borna Das from Kolkata (CMC Vellore graduate) My Family Background My family is a very strong Hindu family.

I finished many scriptures even when I was just in high school. And as I kept reading, I always used to ask questions. But as in Hinduism, like many other religions, women are supposed to be inferior to men and they are not supposed to ask many questions. Whenever I asked questions, I got a reply saying " why can't you just believe/ you don't have faith/ you are not supposed to ask many questions ". My Search for God So that was my childhood.

Winston Jacob, better known as Winston Churchill, is my ardent fan, and he meekly subjects himself to my not too sharp scissors. Someone starts singing Click Here for the song. and others join in, On Sabbath days, after breakfast, we have time to get ready for church. At 9 am we go to the Auditorium and sit in our assigned places and the person in charge takes our attendance. For my group it is Pramode Shivajirao Gaikwad. He sits next to me. I like the song service. There seems to be a perfect blend of harmony as the ladies sing the soprano and alto while the men sing the bass and tenor. Here are some of the sermons I remember and the speakers. Pr G J Christo
