Seeking Honesty within Dishonesty Bangalore: If we start probing seriously, every thing will look dishonest. So let us forget a few things such as what is the salary of corporators elected in BBMP election and their genuine role during their tenure. Things start going wrong, the moment Adam ate the forbidden fruit so now there is no questioning the act of sin. The bottom line in this discussion is one crore, to say roughly, in any ward. So that the widely spoken transaction of a cool Rs. 450 – 500 crore during the forthcoming BBMP elections in Bangalore will tally. There is treachery and non commitment from authorities closer to party candidates. For example, the associations functioning in different

wards have worked haphazardly – swindling some of the money they agreed to distribute to the poor. Many have not helped the candidates with dedication. The truth is there is no real trust among people within groups or parties, because everyone is concerned about the money that is being circulated around. This is one example where we can clearly see what reaches the poor or downtrodden from the source through various mediators in the middle. Though the money is ill gotten, during elections, some people in the slums get an opportunity to get a few Rs. 500 notes. Many poor people in the slums complain that the money is not properly distributed because the party people and other organizations mediating swallow the money. Call: 9663313410 9449033410

Good Friday Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, commemorates the Passion and Death of Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross. It falls on April 2, this year. No Mass is celebrated on Good Friday; instead, the Church celebrates a special liturgy in which the account of the Passion according to the Gospel of John is read, a series of intercessory prayers (prayers for special intentions) are offered, and the faithful venerate the Cross by coming forward and kissing it. The liturgy concludes with the distribution of Holy Communion. Since there was no Mass, Hosts that were reserved from the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday are distributed instead. Good Friday is a day of strict fasting and abstinence. Catholics who are over the age of 18 and under the age of 60 are required to fast, which means that they can eat only one complete meal and two smaller ones during the day, with no food in between. Catholics who are over the age of 14 are required to refrain from eating any meat, or any food made with meat, on Good Friday.
