10. Puthan Neduvakkatt Chenthamaraksha Menon

He is commonly known as PNC Menon who founded the Sobha Developers Limited, where he also serves as Chairman Emeritus. He holds the fifth position as the richest Indian who is a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council that has a total asset of $1.25 billion. His mindset is a natural heritage that he acquired from his father who was also a businessman. Despite that he lost his father at an early age, and dropped from his college course at Sree Kerala Varma College, he sustained himself by putting an interior decoration business. He is one of the trending topics in the business world now after he expressed his desire to donate to charity, half of his wealth, but it’s innate to him to be involved in philanthropic works, and he has been donating to different charity institutions for years.

Our parents encourage us to finish schooling so we could have a better life in the future. This has been the pattern of heritage being passed on from generation to generation. There is no doubt that studying would help everyone to fight illiteracy, and achieve the kind of life that everyone dreams. However, according to history, there are people who never finished any degree, and even skipped classes just because they have other things that they want to pursue in life. Who would have thought that these people would one day exceed not just comfortable life, but would even be part of the top 10 school dropout billionaires in the world? Get to know the path, struggles, and success that they trudged in order to reach the state of being known, popular, and enjoying the abundance of life.

Gunmen kill nine cops, destroy police stations
A fresh wave of violence hit the restive parts ofBorno and Yobe states yesterday, leaving in its wake nine policemen dead and many buildings destroyed.
In a daytime attack gunmen stormed a police station in Bama, killing four policemen, while in an earlier pre-dawn attack another set of gunmen hit Gashua in neighbouring Yobe, killing five policemen.
The attack in Gashua disrupted the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) exams ascandidates were to sit for the Practical Agricultural Science paper at 9am yesterday. A 21-hour curfew was later imposed on Gashua, such that residents could only come out from 1pm to 4pm daily.
Residents of Bama, 75 kilometers south of the Borno State capital Maiduguri, said security forces exchanged fire with the gunmen, triggering fires that destroyed many houses and shops.
There were fears also that many other people might have been killed in the Bama violence, just days after a similar incident in Baga reportedly left 200 people dead.
Daily Trust learnt that the attackers attempted to kill the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Bama but he was lucky to escape with bullet injuries.
Initial reports said the DPO was abducted by the gunmen, but the BBC Hausa radio spoke to a resident who said this was not true as he sawthe DPO after the violence.
“What happened was some gunmen came in the morning and attacked Bama police station and killed four policemen…All the shops behindthe market were also set on fire,” a resident told the BBC.
Many people fled the Kasubula area in the townwhere the fighting happened.
Spokesman for the Borno State police command, DSP Gideon Jibrin, could not be reached by telephone yesterday.
In Gashua, Bade Local Government Area of Yobe State, five policemen and five suspected gunmen were killed while a police station was burnt when attackers struck in the early hours of yesterday.
Daily Trust learnt that the gunmen first attacked the divisional police headquarters, which they succeeded in destroying, and then targeted the prison, police area command and mobile police base from where they were repelled.
Spokesman for the Joint Task Force Lt. Eli Lazarus said the fleeing gunmen took away one police Hilux vehicle fitted with siren, as well as another vehicle, police uniforms and other items from the police stations.
A security source told our correspondent that villagers from an area about 21 kilometers from Gashua town had earlier on Wednesday afternoon reported to security operatives that they saw three Hilux vans with armed youths heading to Gashua.
Yobe State police commissioner Sanusi A. Rufa’i, who spoke at a news conference in Damaturu yesterday, confirmed the Gashua attacks and the killing of five policemen.
“Two policemen were killed at police area command, another two at Bade police divisional headquarters, while one mobile police was killed, two injured at the mobile base all in Gashua town. A church were the gunmen took cover was also burnt by the assailants,” he said.
He said the gunmen stormed the area in large numbers with the intent to destroy many security formations but were repealed by the combined efforts of the JTF and the police.
“But we have arrested one of the gunmen Murtala Yusuf an indigene of Gaidam Local Government,” he said.
Rufa’i said three vehicles were recovered from the assailants—a Toyota Corolla, a Peugeot 406 and an Isuzu pick up van, which were carjacked recently from bank staff.
“The armed men met them in their residential home and took them to the bank were they carted away with N9.3 million, 237 US dollars and the said vehicles,” he said.
Also recovered were five police uniforms belonging to the police officers killed in Bara, Tarmowa and Gaidam.
He said the police have taken measures over the way the gunmen disguise in police uniforms to launch “surprise attacks.”
JTF spokesman Lazarus said in a statement yesterday: “At about 12 midnight Thursday 25 April 2013, unknown gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram terrorists attacked JTF location in Gashua town, the police area command and Gashua divisional police station. Men of the JTFwere able to repel and contain the attack on itslocation. Reinforcement was however dispatched swiftly and was able to engage the terrorists.
“Two police officers were killed in the attack while five of the suspected terrorists lost their lives during the encounter. Some of the suspected terrorists escaped in two vehicles with injuries while others are believed to still be in the town.”
“Items recovered include one Toyota Corolla car, one Peugeot 406 saloon car, one Isuzu pickup van, one AK 47 rifle, one police anti-riot gun,one locally made pistol, one rocket propelled grenade (RPG) bomb, one generating set and large quantity of ammunition,” he added.
Lazarus said the public should be mindful of the fact that the insurgents were still around and may strike again.
“Let no one be in doubt however, that JTF would continue to respond appropriately to such attacks. The task force urges all law abiding citizens to remain calm as it is currently on top of the situation. A cordon and search operation is currently on going in Gashua town,” he said.
Later yesterday, a 4pm to 1pm curfew was declared in Gashua. The police commissioner, who announced the curfew, said the restriction was meant to tackle security situation in the area. A resident expressed concern with the curfew, saying by telephone: “Many people don’t have food in their stores. We go out everyday to do menial jobs before feeding our families. We are appealing to all authorities concerned to consider our conditions,” the resident said.

why should i go for your pencil artwork, when Loukman Ali achieved this with pecil

By: Emmanuel Zakka

The original function of clothes was to protect the body from changing climate and lustful desires. Soon, however, people made clothing and ornament the expression of pride and sex. Self-respect was turned into vanity. The desire for recognition led people to load themselves with showy apparel and costly ornaments. Thus, dress and ornaments soon became the index of spiritual decline and apostasy. To the extent that clothes, ornaments, cars, homes, professional goals, and wealth become the priorities (the idols) of our lives, to the same extent God is displaced from our lives and consciousness.

When the clothes you wear to church matter more to you than the time you get to Church, there is something basically wrong with you. It so much the practice that some persons don't go to church because they have not added some new clothes to the wardrobe. This is a fundamental reason why outward ornaments are a stumbling block to thespiritual life. Whatever fosters pride and self-glorificat ­ion rather than the worship of God is sinful.
Once upon a time, it was impossible to wear clothes that exposed one’s ‘privacy’ to the public and not be alone in the crowd.

Those good old days are gone! Now it is common sight to see women and men dressed in attires that do not inspire confidence whatsoever and those who wear them seem to have no qualm of conscience. At times it is difficult to distinguish between sane and mad people since both of them wear rags. In our day and age when sex sells above all else (a kind of an age of Sexual Revolution), the gospel of modesty is becoming increasingly a sensitive one. Since there is hardly any pew in our churches on which a nauseatingly- adorned lady or gentleman is not seated at every convocation of the saints, and since most men and women of God are more careful not to ‘offend’ their congregations for fear of losing them to less rigid church owners (and they are eagerly waiting) than they show real passion for the salvation of the souls of these congregations (no matter how they pretend otherwise), they hardly say anything against these people and so this practice, hitherto alien to the church, is being granted accommodation among believers.

That is why it is good to speak and lend my voice to the debate because so many people are wrong not because they want to be wrong but because they are sincerely wrong, asno one has ever told them in the light of the gospel, that dressing has a point where it begins to work against the believer instead of for the believer.

Check this quote against the backdrop of what is happening in our world today to see if it is not inch perfect. According to Bacchiochi, “Fashion began as our guilty parents were expelled from the Garden of Eden. Innocence was gone, the robe of light had faded, and Adam and Eve, shivering and cringing in the unclothedness of sin, sewed together fig leaves to cover themselves. Their temporary covering was soon replaced by skin garments provided by God Himself (Gen. 3:20). As people became increasingly corrupt, they tried to replace the beautiful simplicity of their innocence with inventions of fabrics, fashions, and ornaments of gold, jewels, and pearls. The more depraved people became, the more extravagant became their clothes and ornaments.”

When you hear such arguments as "Everyone iswearing it or doing it", "it is what is in vogue","you are not civilized", "this is the way to belong on Campus", "there is nothing wrong with what I am putting on since everyone seems to like it", etc., I say to myself: Morality is not made by numbers. It is not determined bydemocratic votes where the majority carries the vote. With morality, as with a lot of other issues concerning the behaviour of the Christian, the majority can be as wrong as the minority. When it comes to the verdict of what is right or wrong morally, the poor can be as influential as the rich, the stark illiterate as invaluable as the learned, the strongest as important as the weakest, the market woman as forceful as the theologian, the lay person as indispensable as the priest/pastor/ ­bishop. It justdoesn’t count what our strata are.

We can be ‘adults’ in the eyes of the world and yet be toddlers in matters of morality. The world doesn’t decide and should not be made to decide what is morally right or wrong because the world lacks the qualification to do so; the church – and the church impeccable because of Christ – remains, in my opinion, the most competent and sole legitimate authority to decide for the world what is morally right or wrong.

Mecca or Makkah is the birthplace of prophet Muhammad, In the center of the mosque in Mecca, is the cube-shaped building called a Kaaba (Ka'bah) is found. All Muslims face the direction of the Kaaba during ritual prayer (Salat).
The Kaaba is draped with a black cloth, which is covered with Koranic verses that are embroidered in gold and silver thread. During performing the Hajj ceremony a Muslim walks seven times around the Kaaba and then he or she kisses and touch the Black Stone.
