Sometimes i sit and think, what am i doing ....with myself , my life...? Is this the thing that i craved for....living alone, away from every loved one..but that doesnt mean that am regretting on my decision of shifting to a strange city.....as now am in love with this city....I simply fall in love almost every day with this city..which ofcourse took me away from my beloved, friends and family...still i love it! Infact everyday this love is increasing and everyday i feel more attached to it.Yeah when am full of roaming through the city i feel the lightness inspite of the choking pollution which was the first gift i got as i entered this city....this city ...the heart of the country...yeah our capital city "New Delhi" .....yaan "apni saadi dilli" :)I never thought that i will ever feel attached or miss the city i have lived in, before i came here..but today i miss it, as soon as i step out of it! That's a bit strange.....as i have started loving it more than i do my hometown. May be some of you think me to be crazy, well on that i will say i dunn care, till you dunn comment on my love. ....that may be for my beloved, friends or family or this city. ;-)
About two years back when i came here, with one of mu friends....she commented, "I love Delhi like anything....!"(mind it Delhi is not her hometown even.... like mine.... well that was just for your general knowloedge....i guess am drifting from the point..) ..that day i was wondering how is it possible that one starts loving some place like this...but today i can surely say that she was not wrong atleast when it is related to Delhi :-)So if am asked ..which city i love the most..... i love New Delhi....whether it be the "parantha waali gali in chandni chowk...or it be the CP (Connaught Place) or it be the Greater Kailash-1 market or it be the South ex .....or it be the "roads..." or the "Metro.." or it be the places of National pride.... "our parliament" or it be the "India Gate" ....or ...."Pragati Maidaan"......I love them all....!!
I really hope that i live here only..ie am not made to shift to any other place in world.....i dunn wnt to be there....inspite of all loneliless that i expected to be with me when i came here, i love the crowded roads of this city.... dunn know why it is so....but it is so!!

You Are More Than the Mind

 'The real "you" is different from those thoughts. You are reacting to every thought that visits your mind. By reacting to all of them, you are paying attention to your thoughts and feeding them, allowing them to exist. That is how a troubled mind creates a chaotic world.' This is an excerpt from a book am reading. A book which happens to be a fiction, and i didn't expect to read such a deep line in that one. It made me think, ponder upon even after days of reading the same. This is something that i learnt during Vipassana. My understanding of this is "Things keep on happening around you, whether they are good, bad or negative positive for you, completely depends on how your brain processes it, which is again dependent on what have you fed it in terms of thoughts and inputs (like reading, watching, etc).  They say, we create a version of reality in our mind, which is a product of actual happenings, our thoughts/ideas and our reactions to them. What you pay at...

An year of Metamorphosis!

-
Since the last post, life has been overhauled. It's been six months, and life is completely different now. A lot has happened in these six months, and I cannot relate to myself anymore. The person I was before April and the person I am now are two completely different human beings! Definitely, I have become more boring than earlier.  This year has been the year of firsts! Many things happened for the first time with me, and I did many new things.  Getting fired Vipassana Living in negative temperatures with basic means  Not planning anything  Noble silence for 9 days (Trust me the best time of life) Living without a phone, internet, and family  Lived at an altitude of 3500+ mtrs from sea level  Rushed mom to emergency for cardiac care Went on a trip with my Angel Welcomed a baby girl in the family. The first daughter after me! When she was born, no one in the family knew what rituals we had for a baby girl, as the ones who did all of them when I was born ar...

Tranquility with Tinyminy!

It has been more than 5 months that i wrote something, and that's true for not only this place but in general, I haven't written anything. Probably the longest i have stayed without writing. And am still sane. Wow, something to be really proud of. Guess the credit goes to two things: Another 10 day Vipassana course  My 9 month old niece. She is a saviour, as these days, most of my time goes to her playful antics.  I did my second "10 day course of Vipassana". While i was looking forward to the peace that noble silence brings, to my surprise, i was asked to do " Seva " when i joined. The seniors or the more experienced people in this field told me, that it is great that i was able to do Seva in my second course itself, however, somewhere i felt like a scapegoat. Nevertheless, the experience was amazing in more than one way!  Though i missed the complete " Noble Silence ", (when you do Seva , participants can reach out to you, for any kind of inconve...
