Nun so blessed
| Tomorrow would
be a great day for the Church in India, and for the
Muttathupadam family of Kerala. A daughter of the family,
Alphonsa, will become the first Indian saint of the Catholic
Church. On the eve of canonisation, her nephew Kurian
C. Muttathupadam recalls the remarkable life of his aunt,
who died 62 years ago |
| Being
the first Indian woman to be accorded the title and
status of a saint by the Catholic Church, it is a matter
of privilege and pride not only for the Muttathupadam
family but also for the whole ecclesiastical community of
our country. My aunt now belongs to a larger family and is
going to be projected by the Church as the model and
example of the heroic practice of Christian virtues of
faith, hope and charity. |

to seek her help in obtaining favours from God

‘I wanted to
be a filmmaker’
Imran Khan, the
new icon of GenX, is back with his second film Kidnap in
which he plays the bad guy. Sreya Basu
catches up with the new Khan on the block
You are ‘the
angry bad young man’ in Kidnap?
I am not going to
say ‘I am so lucky to have such diverse roles’ sort of
thing. Bollywood is maturing`85now we have refreshing storyline
as well as experiment-loving producers who are ready to risk new
subjects with newcomers.
