 Dt 18.08.2021 Life is simple  We, unfortunately have complicated it by worrying about past/future etc Sometimes, I wonder that amidst this chaos , when we connect with our own self, we realize that there is nothing to worry about. Life just is . I would love to always be in this state and be alive just now

Dated: 27 th March 2021 One of the most inspiring moments occurred to me during a visit to Kapils Salon, Goregaon (W). The therapist (Jay) asked me to sit comfortably and inquired whether I   required   water/ tea/coffee. I asked for a bottle of water and asked him where to keep the bottle and glasses that I had worn. His answer surprised me! – He said that he was partially blind and could only see from one eye. I suddenly felt a wave of heaviness and sympathy and said sorry to him. Jay became partially blind when he was in his 10th Standard and studied at the Victoria memorial school for the blind. He was in praise of the school and how it takes care of its students and the facilities given to its students.              He cleared the board exams through the use of a writer. As per rules, the writer has to be a grade lower than the one you are appearing in the exams for. He highlighted the difficulties in searching for a writer and learning Braille language.                Ja

Dated: 16th Jan 2021 A friend of mine recommended the Book-“Autobiography of a Yogi” by Sri Paramahansa Yogananda.

The sages, the People he met during his life, the ashrams he went to and the complete faith in the divine god within himself he had, this book is an eye opener on the mystical way our human mind works and its capabilities. We all are essen

Dated :  4 th January 2021. We all are busy in our day to day routine especially in metro cities where the pace of life is such that we hardly stop and observe our environment. A similar incident happened to me a couple of days back. I usually take a stroll post lunch and on one such walks, I keenly observed the Banyan Tree near my office compound. Now, I have seen the tree almost every day but hardly stopped and appreciated it. It’s a wonder!                 I asked our security about the tree and was surprised to know that it is atleast 50+ years (The tree was present before his supervisors too). Imagine the memories the tree might have! It felt so relaxing to just gaze at the tree and all its twigs, fruits, squirrels and all the habitats supported by the tree. The swing, which is typical of a banyan tree, was a pleasure to watch. So many people might have enjoyed the swing J The distinctive part of a Banyan tree is the roots which stem from the branch on a down
