Today is Easter. Today is the day when Jesus Christ rose up from the dead and all men got salvation through Jesus Christ.
For us Malayali Christians, it is a day of splendid feasting, after fourty days of fasting. If you go to any Malayali Christian home, you will get a splendid meal. Today morning, after coming back from church, I ate a delicious breakfast of appams and chicken curry. My daughters and wife also sat with me and ate. I ate 8 appams with chicken curry! :) At one point, my wife told me that if I eat more, I will get some disease! :) Then I slept and woke up again for lunch. At lunch, we had more delicious food. For dinner, my wife and daughter is making kappa and fish curry. It is the most delicious food in Kerala. No Malayali can ever resist the temptation of kappa and fish curry! :)
Today I was thinking, what will Anand Jon eat for breakfast or lunch or dinner? If he had been a good boy, studied well, respected people, and concentrated on his career, all these would have been available to him also. But alas!
Anyway from here in Karugachal I cannot do anything, but I was thinking, if I was in America, if it was possible, I could myself have taken some of these things to him and given some fellowship to him. But I cannot, because in America jails they are very strict. They will not allow any outside food brought by the family of the prisoners. Because in some cases, they might mix with drugs and all, and it will cause problems inside the jail. So even if we wish we cannot take any food for him. Even his mother was sadly saying that she cannot take for him anything. How sad!
I hope that Anand Jon will realize the enormity of his mistakes and I hope that one day, he can be free to enjoy these pleasures of life. There is no greater pleasure in life than being with your family.
But still, I wish Happy Easter to Anand Jon, Shashi Abraham and Sanjana Jon. I pray that God Jesus gives you comfort.
