. . . and she never stops . . .
I met this acquaintance the other day. The easiest place to meet is a Cafe Coffee Day, right? So, we meet there. And the moment we are done with the pleasantries, he says, "Let’s get out of this place. I hate CCDs." I instantly liked him. I’m okay with CCDs, in fact their Iced Eskimo…
A ping from a friend far away is what i thank technology for, The prick from the silly mosquito which loved my right elbow didn’t matter any more. It’s not like I can’t pick the phone and talk to her, A written word means another whole world. I can read it again. Just like the…
As I read through Sakshi‘s post on how changing yourself is not that bad if you are really doing it for someone you love, I got the feel that she’s right, but there’s something completely off. It’s one of those things that sounds sensible and yet is making huge assumptions. Yeah, you need to change,…
Quite a few friends around me are looking for partners or the families are looking out on their behalf. Invariably, “How do you know this is the one?” pops up. My typical answers – Make a list of how you’d like your partner to be – from outer to inner beauty. Prioritize that. And go…

Official site – http://dhamma.org I know, by the time you read the entire article, you are going feel terrified of the course. But, the experience was just plain awesome. I find comfort in the fact that I got a peek into what’s going on inside me, how my mind (and body) works and makes me…
These were the feelings before the course that I’d jotted down, but somehow forgot to post on the site. — As the day of a 10-day ‘noble silence’ draws closer, I am beginning to realize how important it is for me to talk, to connect, to be with people. As far as I can tell…
So, I’m off to this vipashchana course on May 21. 10 days of meditation, of being with myself, of getting to know a little more about myself. Yep, 10 days of I, Me, Myself. And hopefully some of these days will be spent in experiencing the tranquility brought by the peace-of-mind-inducing meditation. How are they…
One of the ongoing blogathon topics is – “What are the challenges that society faces in accepting the concept of alternate sexuality? How can we address them?” Religion, social norms, the basic need of a species to reproduce – none of these are in favor of alternate sexuality. Calling it “alternate” is alienating it in…
My son turns 6 today and daughter turns 4 tomorrow. 10 years of motherhood…so quantity we have achieved…quality? I don’t know…so far so good, from my end. They are growing up to be good, independent, more-or-less well-behaved children. But are they enjoying being ‘my’ children? We do have our, “mamma, *big hug*, mamma, I love…
