Can man walk on water?

Many of us would have heard about Jesus Christ walking on water. There are accounts of it in three different gospels. Christians believe it to be one of the many miracles that Christ performed.

THE UNTOLD STORY OF 13TH BLOCK

Note- I’m not sure if it was 4th Block or 13th. I have always preferred to stay away from planchets and Ouija board sessions. I avoid the forum meetings when any related experiment or session is planned. It’s not that I do not believe in it. In fact I have seen quite a few examples that point towards success of the whole thing. But the main problem is that the results are not predictable and I do…

He loved the study. He claimed that he could spend a lifetime there. It was one place he cleaned himself, managed and even arranged. It had been the same since ages. The Mahogany was consistent through the room. A leather sofa set to the left with a small centre table that often had a book or two on it. The huge collection of books towards the front wall boasted of about a thousand different…

Note- I work with BYJU’S, love my work and hence would obviously be biased towards it. It has been more than a year for me in the education sector.
