'D' Thomas

Me and Thomas were sitting with another colleague documenting the project work done in the last 6 months.

A lot of data was shifted, formatted, cut-and-pasted and checked and cross-checked for accuracy.

Thomas was checking the data closely.

The colleague turned and told me:

"Thomas Sir is not having full confidence in me in managing the data. He is always having doubts!"

I replied

"Right. No wonder there is a term in English Doubting Thomas!"

Thomas laughed. Then he asked a question:

"Do you know the origin of that term?"

I said no.

It seems St. Thomas did not believe that Jesus resurrected the third day.

He wanted to physically feel his wounds, then only he was ready to believe....

Interesting....

Postscript

I am seeing the political heat in TV about the scam.

Somebody says "...but the Ceaser's wife should be above suspicion!"

If my Sankara English Teacher Geethalayam Geethakrishnan was with me, perhaps I could have asked him the origin of the term...
