I am blessed

Image
Once you realize that you are blessed, then: All the complaints disappear, All the grumbling disappears, All the insecurities disappear, A sense of feeling unloved disappears and Wanting love disappears. - Sri Sri I am happiest in his arms .  I do not want to go somewhere where you are not there. Because my heart needs to be right next to where you are . OUR breath plays a very important role. The breath is the connecting link between the inner world of the mind and the outer world of body and environment. You see, there are seven levels of existence- body, mind, intellect, memory, ego, breath and being. Meditation works by bringing an effort from the level of being to the mind. With the breath we bring this effect to the physical level as well.’ SRI SRI............

Party in Shroom

Image
It was a party in Shroom, Crescent Mall. It was hosted by Riyaaz Amlani, Shiv Karan Singh and Harmeet Bajaj. The party featured DJ Phil Keiran. We danced so much that we burnt the floor and set it on fire. And the DJ played some awesome music for us. Did I do Tango? Of course, I did.  The weekend and the fun has just begun. What I wore: Top to toe Beret: It has NOW become a favorite piece in my wardrobe. Specially this one. I think it is lucky for me. It is such kick ass : Forever 21, bought in Tokyo. Dress: Ranna Gill Faux fur Jacket: Aftershock Bag: This is the latest gift that my husband got me from Europe. His brand loyalty is with Etro. Specially, because he loves paisley and Etro specializes in that. Love this bag. It is from the latest collection. Boots: Vanilla Moon. Of course, I did not do tango in these. I had carried my tango shoes to dance in. I am wearing the same dress earlier in this blog post too.  and also here

Lunch at Machan

Image
Today was our friend Sonia's Birthday (The one in all black). We decided to take her out for lunch to Machan in Taj Mansingh. But today was also my very busy working day. I could sneak out two hours for this lunch. So could not dress up. For first time, I went ahead in my track  pants only. I had a salad of asparagus and green pea. I had to finish this lunch and reach for a yoga class. I would not have missed that for anything in the world. So in between, there was no time for changes. Hence, the explanation for track pants.  Did I enjoy my Yoga class? Oh! it gave me some oxygen to breathe and made me so alive. Just be in the simple and innocent state of ‘‘I don’t know!’’ This life is a beautiful mystery. Just live it! When we live this mystery of life so totally, then joy dawns. And the weekend starts now. Let the party begin. You have seen me wear this before here.  and here

Old pics of mine

Image
In response to my last post, I got four emails from different parts of the world. These people asked me that I should share more of my old pictures. So from now on, I will try to post my old pics every now and then. The pic below is 1996. The date on the pic says so. Seems like yesterday. Get ready to see more old pics. I loved beret even then. I had my nose pierced and had long hair. I still have this top and you have seen it in my this blog post. The pic below is, when I was 20. Got married then.

When I was 19 year old.

Image
My family member posted this picture of mine on fb. Here I was 19 year old. I saw this and am so amused. I am looking so different- I was fat, had long straight hair, was so innocent, was such a kid. This is at my cousin sister's wedding. I wore a sari. This pic had to be shared on my blog. In response to this post, I got one cute email saying, " Oh, my God, you look so different now! You're one of those people who looks better with age! (By the way, who chose the blue sari you wore to your cousin's wedding? It is so different compared to your style now.)" My response- " ha ha...I am like a wine.. yes blue sari is so tacky...(hang my head in shame)...but it was an era when sequins were rage and I was a kid...had borrowed mom's sari...her HEAVIEST sari.." Mr. Big is back from Europe and I am just so elated. Missed him. Oh yes! I did. When thinking stops, love begins...

Atha yoganushasanam

Patanjali Yoga Sutra #1 Shasana means rules someone imposes on you. Anushasana is the rule you impose upon yourself. Do you see the difference? Now, why is yoga called a discipline? Where is the need for discipline? When does the need for discipline arise? Atha yoganushasanam – when translated, this means now I will enunciate the discipline of Yoga. When you are thirsty and want to drink water, you do not say “Oh! This is a rule, I must drink water”. When you are hungry, you just eat. When it comes to the question of enjoying oneself, no discipline is necessary. Where does discipline come into the picture? Discipline arises when something is not very charming to begin with. Isn’t it? When you are happy, when you are in peace or happiness, then you are already in yourself. There is no discipline there. But when the mind is wagging its tail all the time, then discipline is essential to  calm it down . The fruit of it is eventually blissful, joyful. As a diabetic sa...
