BEWARE, YOU CYBER ADDICT!

Nowadays most of the teens are affected by IAD (Internet Addiction Disorder). Internet addiction affects the brain the same way alchohol, cocaine and cannabis do. 

*Scans found abnormal white matter structure in the orbito frontal regions of the brain, which is also found in people exposed to alchohol, cocaine and cannabis.
*Scientists said disruption in myelin, the fatty sheath that coats nerve fibres, could be the cause of the damage.
*Internet addiction is also linked to reduction in the number of dopamine transporters, which is again seen in the brains of other addicts. The reduction of dopamine will cause diseases like Parkinson disease.

ARE YOU A CYBER ADDICT?

If you are a cyber addict you should take necessary measures to recover from it. Better you consult a psychiatrist. 

WHAT WE SHOULD DO?

*Control the use of internet. Reduce the time that you use internet daily.
*Start a new hobby such as collection of pictures,news or philately etc.
*Try to make good friends in the real world  NOT in the cyber world.

A Return to the Art of Letter Writing

A Return to the Art of Letter Writing It was 9.30 in the morning and I was nearing the front gate of St. Berchmans College.

I checked the receiver’s address below the stamp imprinted with Smt. Indira Gandhi’s smiling face. It was my first letter. Till then, I had only written letters in my answer sheets of language papers. And this was the first time I ever wrote a letter in real life. The letter was addressed to my friend who was undergoing priestly formation in Indore. As seminarians, they had restriction in using mobile phones. So, I decided to express my feelings through this piece of paper. I put the letter in the letter box in front of the office room. When I entered my classroom, my friend Ajin asked me what I was doing at the letter box. I told him that I was posting a letter to one of my

WE WILL SUCCEED IN ONE DAY Success is always waiting for us. We should only be ready to receive it. In my life I have many wonderful experiences and also sad experiences. Life is like a mix of both success and failure. Both are necessary. But we should be desperate when we fail. We should recover with more energy. We can give our life in the hands of two people. 1. Mr. Success 2. Mr. Failure We will have many problems in our life. But we should never allow the problem to succeed.

What a Friend we Have in Jesus

What a Friend we Have in Jesus       Most of us often blame God and stops praying if things do not happen as we wish. But have you ever felt that God is not far away from you and He has prepared something better in our life? “We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28) If you can praise the good Lord in the midst of your difficulties, it is the true love. Let me share with you an anecdote about finding the will of God in our difficulties. Last year, I was attending Salesian vocation camp for 2 weeks in Don Bosco Mannuthy, Thrissur. The camp mainly dealt with a variety of subjects like Vocation, Salesian Congregation and lives of Don Bosco and Dominic Savio. Also there were music classes led by the brothers. One evening we were summoned to the chapel and Bro. Jude began to teach us an English hymn which was recited during Holy Communion. Bro. Jose, who was an expert in piano was playing the mu
