Yesterday was a Big Day! Bigger than the Valentines Day. Why? What's so special about it? One of my YES! 2 Teacher, Mr Arvind Varchaswi, (Nephew of H H Sri Sri Ravi Shankar :) My Guru) and Ms Srividya Natarajan (A good friend of mine and a YES!+ Teacher) got married in the Ashram. Ashram weddings are worth the wedding. Red and gold wedding which a Bride or a groom has always imagined become

2012-02-09T10:55:00.000-08:00

I am still shocked and the goosebumps refuse to leave, as I heard the horrific story of a 9th std boy stabbed his own teacher, in the classroom, in Chennai. 'The 15-year-old boy reportedly brought a knife in his school bag. He allegedly entered the class around 11 am on Thursday, well before others where the Hindi teacher was waiting. He reportedly stabbed the teacher five times. She raised the

Scribbling thoughts, Aha !!!

2012-01-03T16:54:00.000-08:00

There are times when we are lazy. Yes! It seems like a secret-affair which everyone of us have, and there is nothing secretive about it. The funniest part about laziness is the way we wrap it in glossy reasons, by saying, 'Oh! I am hungry!', 'Am just so tired.' 'Have no time', 'Have been working around quite a lot.' and the one which tops it all has to be, 'I don't feel like it'. Of late, since I

Its so beautiful to see how one can become His instrument. Once we put our mind to rest and being there with the 'Presence' and you have a beautiful time. There are no words to express this feeling but the end result is what you will read along. I have been with G for long, yet it feels as though it just began. But I never did expressed, and here is the expression from Shrikanth (Appu) who gifted

Tea and the smile :)

2011-12-24T09:10:00.000-08:00

There are certain things money cannot buy. It is so true. I have realized that to make one happy, it is the small small realizations which can make us go a long way. For instance, today morning I decided to drink a cup of tea. As I reached the kitchen, the thoughts of Amma, came racing in my mind, like movie-reel. She would be moving about in the kitchen, with the clang of utensils, and water

Will there be any person in this world who can choose two songs out of gazillion great songs? I wonder. Then I re-read the topic. Its a "Challenge". So here it is... * The song that came to my mind first was, "Raat Kali Ik Kwaab me ayee... " From the movie, "Budha Mil Gaya" . I heard this song before, but after Art of Living, heard The Vikram Hazra singing and I fell for it :) * 'In the

Audrey Hepburn made be laugh and ponder on the usage of language. Its an epic and 'must watch' movie I must say. 2. Manichitrathazu: A movie which made history.

2011-11-19T17:22:00.000-08:00

I am thankful to my parents for having inculcated the reading habit in me. I remember my parents insisting on reading since my childhood. Tinkle, Gokulam, Champak were a must haves, if I was supposed to board a train or travel. Then there were this series of General Knowledge books and quizzes became my favourite pastime. Being a bookworm of late, limiting my likes to 4 books is challenging. I

2011-10-28T11:24:00.000-07:00

I am thin and slim, and that does not mean I am starving or I do not like food. So I have my menu here. But it is interesting to note that I am not picky about food items, though am a hard-core vegetarian, for that matter. I do not have a sweet-tooth too, in all its fullness.:) With this I begin.... 1. Amma's cooking - I never liked home food much, but once I started travelling around and had

I love travelling, but not sight-seeing as much....:) But there are many places close to my heart :) 1. 'Vijay Vihar' Mangalore, home of mine, is a place that cannot be replaced anywhere, anytime. I need not say anything more, as it is our 'Home'. 2. It would be Art of Living Ashram at Bangalore. Every corner of the Ashram is my Home. You are there and you know 'You are special'. The

2011-10-21T13:49:00.000-07:00

7 Wants only OK?!!! 1. This moment I want to be in the Ashram at Bangalore, right now. It has been long since I stepped into the Ashram. A place of solace, time stands still. A place where even silence speaks, smiles ring and belonging blossoms... 2. I want afforestation to happen. The amount of greenery disappearing is astonishing. I want this world to be a better place in all ways. 3. I

8 Fears

2011-10-20T15:25:00.000-07:00

Fears... Here I come ... 1. I have fear of heights as mentioned before. The view from the top, especially in rides, makes my head go round and round and round. 2. Achluophobia or fear of darkness. I always have this feeling that darkness, have tales to whisper, the tales I do not want to hear. 3. Fear of death. This fear is not one's own, as much as the death of a loved one. The 'death'

This is very difficult for me to limit my loves to just 9. But then the more challenging, more juicier to read ;) Here I will be more specific rather than broad answers like I love love, peace, happiness etc. 1. I love small surprises. 2. I love that stolen glances G gives me, when I wait in the line, debating with my Heart and Mind. The whiff of air when He passes by, the touch of His

I was discussing with Sharika about this part, and was amazed that this clouded part of me has been diminishing, since long. But I thought, here is the chance to blog about it and amaze myself. 1. I am a planning freak. I want everything pre-planned and in order beforehand. 2. I am a matlabi (selfish) person, when it comes to certain situations.:) 3. I am scared of heights big-time. Yes

There is a popular saying, ‘What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas’. I thought there is no necessity of this adage. In fact there are realizations that can be helpful to us in the long run. Now Las Vegas is the place, which when mentioned itself, people go ga-ga. Thanks to the curiosity created by the adage mentioned. The whole post is high on ‘bias’ and is opinionated.

I don't remember the first day, when I even glanced at you or held you in my hands. The earliest memories of you, was in our famous 'Doctor uncle' veetil, when you would push the stool in the room, throughout the home, making the screechy noise, or hold the window-grill, while Amma attempting to feed you, or even better, when Amma put us both in the grey cradle so that we do not slide off.

I do not know what have I done to have such a beautiful blessing in my life. It is not in my nature to be in touch with people and

There were days when, things did not make sense to me, when emotions roared around, when thoughts refused to still, when memories waved through and through.

'Mananaat traayate iti mantrah' is what the term 'Mantra' means. That which helps the mind to transcend, and saves one from repetitiveness is a mantra. A repetitive thought is a worry. Mantras helps to free us from worries. I attended ' Mantra Sadhana Seminar' conducted by Prof V. Shastry, a Sanskrit Scholar, a Pries,t as well as a Professor of Engineering in Halifax,Canada.

What is Cooking???

2011-05-23T16:10:00.000-07:00

How I combat my boredom? This is not a mystery anymore :) The mornings go so busy busy, that I feel Ratheesh has more time than me :P This is the time for myself and my connection with the outer world (Read: Internet) and also the Inner World (Read: Sadhna). Once both the above is done, I start cooking. I never liked cooking. I was a 'Tea' and "Maggi' Girl. That experience stopped me from cooking

Amma can never be wrong....

Amma... There has not been a day since many years, where I have not thought about this amazing lady... just like how Shalini ma'am puts it, Mothers are different. They are!! We are best of friends... The way we talk, gossip, sing n what not. It was during my degree when I BECAME CLOSE to her, as she was always close to me :) I remember when one day I came home, wanting to cry and I hugged her

2011-04-29T07:59:00.000-07:00

Just like how a Dubai returned guy is entertained to a question he dreads, last month was my turn. It was just that, "When are you leaving ?" is replaced by, "What do you do at home ?" and "How do you pass time?" Ratheesh smiles when I get to answer such questions because I have always acted the conversation out to him. Yesterday it stuck me :) During our courtship days I was very busy. 'Very'

There has been certain changes which is so beautiful to make. During this period I realised, marriage is so much about accepting the similarity and enjoying the differences.

So happiness is always the bonus in the company of the kids or child-like people. Was wondering, since I became energetic, all the stressed people too have the potential to become kids in all manner. This was the time when Priyamani(www.priyax.wordpress.com) asked us to

Who is a volunteer?

2010-07-24T10:18:00.000-07:00

One who comes to help, without being asked to help; one who is self-motivated, inspired, becomes a volunteer. There is the possibility of the inspirational motivation going down in a volunteer, which could bring frustration. Usually volunteers come from the space of demand rather than humility; this dilutes the quality. Another slack that could happen to a volunteer is that they could slip

2009-12-08T18:04:00.000-08:00

Our left side is cooling and right side produces more energy in the body. Means? If you are lying down to your left side, what has happened? Your stomach is like this, right? So, in sleep, you get good sleep because the food will all stay there. If you turn to the right side, the food comes up to the esophagus. So it is best to sleep on left side down. When you sleep left side, your right nostril

This week is a special week for all of us in my native place in Kerala. Kannur is a district in North Malabar. After 30 long years, Theyyam a.k.a Kaliyatam is going to be staged in Cheruthazam, my mother’s home town. Since my childhood, I am familiar with this ritual.

Breaking Patterns!!

2009-12-04T00:07:00.001-08:00

I had taken a break to be there at our Bangalore Ashram.Part II course was the reason. Part II course in a course,simply but profoundly put, where in we take an appointment to meet ourselves. I have no clue how it happens, but it’s so beautiful to see one at the end of four days! You fall in love with yourself. I remember the reason for doing my second advance course was because of the glow I

Ming boggling blogging

Last week has been a bit tedious mentally. This was basically because I was not doing anything, but mind was working over time. The thought process is more draining than the work itself holds so true. There was this time when I had loads of work, but what I did was to watch TV or sleep.

Have been waiting under the sun, for my turn to practice the two-wheeler. At that moment I see him and her, coming towards the instructor. I was wondering why are they here? I mean here only people who want to learn riding come. The reason for my mental conflict was that the person, whom I referred to as Man, must be around 60 and she would be in her mid-50s. Now will fondly refer to them as

Recently Sharika was telling me that being in YES consciousness is the question. How to? People in this spiritual path, depending on their Sadhana and Karma, will

How was the movie? TOI rated it as 3 stars. A friend for company, wanted to have a good time so went for it. But it was worth the PaisaJ.Now first my likings of the movie. Being a journalism student, loved the cinematography. The camera work is worth the mention. The song sequence in a mountainous region is worth mentioning. But Mungarumale cinematography still retains the first place. The

This Week is Bawa & Dinesh Week for YES!+ Gang. Why?? It’s because Bawa celebrated his Birthday on 22 September and Dinesh dada will on 29 September. Now regarding who they are, what they do, is your assignment. Google it or just do your YES!+. I have no clue what I am going to write about them. This is what happens when we are supposed to verbalize something close to our heart. For instance,
