There are days when you and me feel grateful from our very being for what we have. The past two days since the Friday and a few days before have been those for me.
It is not a measure of wealth, of security or any other physical attribute - it is a feeling of calmness. A silence, a point of equilibrium - where little ups and downs do not flicker the wick. A feeling as if you are full after a meal. A simple state of satiation - where the heart is overwhelmed with love. Simple and pure with no discrimination even to the level of being you or me or someone else. No physical or mental boundaries whatsoever.
I had to share this thought today before it escapes me...
I wish everyone the very same calmness in everything you do.
I'm touched for all that I receive and continue to do from you - grateful!

Today!
Aren't there some days where you feel that it is almost impossible that so much could have happened in 24 hours ???
Today was one of those days for me - so much packed into these 24 hours.
I've met so many people from such various walks of life - not at a party... but, at a prayer meeting, at lunch, at the dance studio, at work. People with such great ideas and such values!
WOW! I have travelled miles in terms of my attachments, my thoughts, my feelings and everything else in the recent past and today again was of a great significance in terms of discovering my little space.
That tiny little niche that belongs to me...and breathes me! It feels so close yet so elusive. As I search, I continue to float in my present state - a state of centered bliss - almost that of weightlessness.
I had to mark today in my own thoughts - hence this little note.
What will tomorrow hold for me and for you dear reader? I'm sure it will be something that will make us smile :-)
Have a wonderful day!

Earth Day Today!
Two posts in a day :-) well, today is Earth Day and I couldn't but help write - anything to save Mother Earth and this environment is a passion for me. So, here I'am !
A birthday party - a first birthday at that. The new parents are all excited and somehow want to leave no stone unturned on this big day in their baby's life! Very natural and understandable.
Lunch time and the tables are loaded with food! Delicacies one drools about on a hungry afternoon with an empty fridge :-)
Guests are invited to eat and the hosts obligingly stand at the beginning of the spread handing out plates. You guessed it - plates made of Styrofoam. The guests do their part and eat their fill, running around with their children - trying to feed them as the little ones turn their faces away...
The cake is cut, presents opened, and everyone goes home...all happy!
The garbage bin has a different story to tell...plates of food half eaten, plastic spoons, Styrofoam plates and cups, ziploc bags, plastic bags used to carry stuff to the party and everything else that was so unlovingly left back.
All gifted to the landfill !!! And since most of it is not bio de-gradeable, it stays there for a very very long time - maybe the grand kids of the child who just celebrated the birthday could visit the spot and see the plates and cups intact!
That's what we do. Every single day of our lives, we are spoiling it for our future generations by not recycling, not using bio de-gradeable stuff, by not watching the carbon footprint of the food we eat, the goods we use and every little thing...all that we take for granted!
Here is a video you HAVE to watch (a friend had shared it on my Facebook)- a short speech rendered by a little girl to the UN and had them speechless for 6 minutes! We need to teach our children the importance to save/conserve and teach them now!

Save the planet and do your bit starting TODAY!!! Let's leave it intact for our children!!!

All In A Day
I sit here this morning thinking back
looking, searching, picking at every shred from my memory
I sit here this morning
visualizing the past, the present and all that I wish was different
I sit here this morning wondering
at the co-incidences, the incidents and all seemed to be someone elses' life
I sit here this morning
reminiscing the lessons learnt
It is now that I learn that all that I had learnt had happened in a day
A morning had determined as to where the soul would belong forever
An afternoon had taught me that what I thought was real was surreal
An evening had walked me to the zenith of showing me who I really was
A someone who didn't belong to anyone
A someone who's existence or the lack of it didn't make a difference
A someone who really was and is nothing
A night had brought with it a lesson I cannot ever run away from
I sit here this morning
humbled with all these lessons
I sit here this morning
grateful that I was taught these to make me a better me
I sit here this morning realizing
that it was all in a day !

The First Experience!
For some of you that know, I'm training to be a Yoga Instructor and am very excited about it!
Philosophy in general has always held a great appeal to me. This class in particular is backed with a lot of that, and makes the experience that much richer!
I began this training when I was passing through a very stressful period on my personal front and I went in with some apprehension and with a question if anything in this world made sense at all!
My first lesson I learnt there is something that has since been etched in my very being - "Pain is something that can be inflicted on you, but suffering is something you do to yourself".
I was silent for a long time when I first heard and it took me some days to really understand it completely. But, it is the truth! I now believe in it!
It is a long journey to there...but the result I'm sure will be a lesson for a lifetime!
Okay now coming back to the last weekend - I was given an opportunity to lead a class of 30 students along with 3 of my instructors. I had to give them some Deep Relaxation Techniques and walk them through the process as they de-stressed and completely relaxed with a sense of surrender!
I lead the class and gave it my best. And now for the best part...after that class I got great feedback from both the students and the instructors!! They told me that I had great vibes! I was thrilled !!! It gave me a strength - a good feel that I could do something good for others with this! It has given me a new found belief in myself.
And I had to share this first experience as a Yoga Instructor with you...my reader...
I'm proud !!!

The Silence Within And Beyond
While I ate my dinner, I got a call from India. From who? Better left unsaid.
I was happy to talk to her, since I hadn't for some time now. I'm usually happy chatting up and catching up on the happenings back home.I like her as a person. No person is bad. But, this was an experience I wanted to bring up to highlight that side of us humans that is better left unexposed :-)
After all the casual exchanges on how each one of us was doing, there is this conversation on how her recent trip to another close relative of our's was. I was happy to hear those details as well, and to know that those relatives were doing well both in health and in wealth!
Then the conversation went on about how this place in India and the homes and the schools there were 'almost' like in America, how everything else was 'almost' like in here. I was a little surprised.
Why the 'almost' factor? Not that I cared how one fared against the other. Never gave it a thought so far into the conversation, as I was busy lapping up the details of the place etc. As it was being shoved into my face, I then woke up and took notice.
I was a little embarrassed when I realized the deliberate attempt....Details about how much they now have, the great vacations they are taking, the schools they send their kids to etc. etc.
Hmmmm I thought. Why this now? I honestly, from the bottom of my heart do not care about who is doing what - if they are happy very good. If something is wrong, may good times come to them. That's all would be a thought.
Who has the time - our lives are busy as they are :-) right?
BTW, this is not an unique experience - I (and am sure you too) see it all the times. At parties, at casual meetings, at work, in a class. A very contemplated attempt to either show-off or an effort to de-value the person opposite.
I always have and will attribute it to a feeling of insecurity from within. nothing more and nothing less.
When will we emerge from this self spun web of superficial egos? When will we open our eyes to the beautiful world around us?
When will we stop and listen to the silence within and beyond us...
On how to experience that silence. Try this and trust me - this works:
Sit quietly in a silent room (even your work place is fine). Focus on your breath for about 4 minutes. Just observe your breathing. Do nothing.
Inhale the cool air and exhale the warm. Let your mind wander for a minute and then slowly begin shutting off the switches to your thoughts. Push out all the negative and keep only the positive. Happy thoughts, good thoughts!
At the end, chant the "OM" a few times ...very slowly...and stop...
Enjoy that silence after the "OM"...that is the silence we all should strive for...the eternal peace...nothing more and nothing less...
PS:please note that the OM has no religious references - it is a wonderful sound that has magical reverberations on the human mind and body. Enough reserach exists to that effect.

The Song That Takes Over Today !!!
I'm in love with this song this morning - Wow!
It has a very soulful tune and amazing lyrics!
(turn up the volume to get the effect right and the ring in Jagjit Singh's voice)

Enjoy!

It's A Great Day!
My dear readers, a very Good Morning to all of you!
I, as you can already tell probably, am very upbeat this morning! Reason??? Well, very many :-)
The primary one being that I went to my little one's school last evening for an open house where they show off the mid-year's work. Boy, I was impressed!
Everyone is proud of their offspring - it is but natural. But, I was particularly impressed with her clean, detailed, almost perfect work. It is the attitude I was impressed with! That is the only quality I aspire to imbibe in the little Me- an interest to learn, to enthuse, be a part of the present and to enhance all that we do and live for!
She shows that trait and what more could I ask for!
It is weird that when one is happy from within, how the world suddenly seems like a beautiful place! All people seem to be good and everything around you not so bitter...
I think it is this memory that we strive or should strive to remember. It is this sticky bit, this little thought that we need to live and re-live every time we feel the world will end!
This happiness could be derived from anything - the source does not matter, the goal matters. Simple - may not be so simple in practice. But, why not try it?
I wish this happiness to everyone around me today....

Why Tip?
I went out to lunch with a couple of my girl friends this afternoon to celebrate her birthday, and of course when the meal ended came the check as expected.
And again per the norm, was the section for the tip. We payed our dues and got out!
But, I always wonder these days on why should we tip? May seem like a lopsided question to some of my readers, but this is genuine. What are they doing for us that is out of their way? Isn't service a part of the whole experience that is offered with the meal?
In these economic times, I find it a little difficult to believe that there are still expectations on tipping!
In times where bonuses and salary raises for the normal worker bees are on the decline if not chopped off already - talk about places where they are being even reduced!
Maybe just one of those things you accept as you flow along with life - will figure out some day. Right now, I'm happy - enjoyed the lunch!

25 Random Things About Me!
Played this tag game with a group of buddies - pasting it here for my other extended family of readers.
Pick up a piece of paper and write at least 10 random things about yourself. It is pretty self-introspective!
Want to know Me? Here is a little of Me...
1.I like to keep things simple and straight - it's a different story that they usually turn out otherwise!
2.I dream of publishing a book of short stories some day. I think it's all about sitting down and getting started on it. A memoir one day maybe - my life has a lot of interesting twists and turns - enough to keep my reader occupied :-)
3.Children and good food are something I can't resist :-)
4.I like to believe in the positive things around me - the good side of people, right attitude, love cures everything, truth prevails kinda stuff. Not because I'm in denial, or unrealistic. I know the ugly face of this world - have been there and seen some. But, this is a conscious effort and suits me - helps me being happy when I see this side of everything!
5.Tall/Dark/Handsome with a dash of good humor is my bill of a perfect male ;-)
6.I love to see new places without flying - and am a pack rat when I travel
7.I'm my dad's princess - even today :-)
8.I hate frivolous behaviour by anyone at any age. I take things seriously. Usually :-) Maybe that's a problem?
9.A rainy day, a good cup of coffee, a good book, a blanket, a seat by the window where I can see and hear the rain, good food, hugs from my little one, topped with a good Bollywood movie is my idea of a perfect weekend!
10.I have no special regard for money - I know it is essential to live that's all. I don't believe in chasing it.
11.The theme song "Ek Hasina Thi..." and the instrumental high notes in that song from the movie "Karz" (older version) could get me into a great mood any day!
12.I like people in general and like to believe that they are all good. Cynical at times too :-)
I've also been manipulated by people for trusting them blindly- I can't hate people in the end - my weakness? Maybe...
13.I can't stop myself from suffering along with anyone who shares their problems/bad times with me. And, I wish with all my heart that I could magically turn it around for them to be happy again.
14.I'm not easily influenced - I play along and may give the impression otherwise, but I mostly rely on my own judgement.
15.I expect nothing but a little affection from people around me
16.I get lost in the beauty of Nature! Forests, mountains and all that is green is a fav. Water particularly excites me. Possibly 'coz I'm a Cancerian!
17.I cry when I hear patriotic songs - when I'm by myself :-) That said, I have very rarely cried in front of people though - don't believe in showing my tears to anyone who isn't special to me.
18.I believe in a greater force that will always take care of you and do justice in the end.
19.Love music, drawing. Also love handicrafts, organic food, re-cycling, free spirited laughter, moonlight and sweets :-)
20.Love to read - can read anything. Fiction/ books on human relationships and psychology have a greater appeal! Philosophy in general - books or discussion interests, excites and intrigues me!
21.I'm sensitive to fake accents, false ideals, hypocrisy and double standards.
22.Political moves and strategies - between people, both around me and around the world intrigue and amuse me! I enjoy making patterns out of them and try to predict the next moves!
23.Believe in the positive force at all times!
24.Am not guilty of anything - so far. I believe in honesty - even among thieves!I've always done and even uttered things that I truly believed in. I hate liars.
25.Wish the world to be rid of all the problems - hunger, poverty, illnesses, wars, greed, power struggles, and everything else that makes it unsecure for the future generations to come! Wishful thinking maybe - but doesn't hurt to dream :-)

Those Monster Trucks
Every morning when I merge onto the freeway I meet those monsters...right in my way, right in every one's way. Big and looming - threatening to engulf the little cars including me and my own.
And every morning I think why can't these monster trucks be kept off the freeways at least till the end of those morning peak hours?
They make their own rules, they decide their own lanes, and they swing dangerously into any lane of their wish.
Ah! give us some space and let us breathe ...
Wish they were literate (to read this!) ...ha! I got them there - yeah?

What If You Were Me?
If you were me
What would you do on this beautiful sunny morning?
If you were me
What would you dress up to be this morning?
If you were me
What would you smile at?
If you were me
What would you dream about?
If you were me
What would you finish that was in your task list this morning?
If you were me
Who would you give your special hugs to this morning?
If you were me
What would your random thoughts be about this morning?
If you were me
What would you do with that little tear drop threatening to drop down any minute?
What if you were really me...?
