An ode to the teachers

“He who considers too much will perform little”
“Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts”
- Winston Churchill


Its so important to have teachers in life, not only during school but for life. Teachers are the ones who keep refining a person to his/her potential, which a person himself/herself may not know. And for that we need to keep the activities in us alive. I feel blessed to be associated with teachers even today, who are refining me in todays time, and they are there to bring the best in me. I feel blessed to be knowing them for all my teachers are wonderful human beings.. spirited, inspiring and full of learnability and full of encouragement. Its difficult being a teacher and even more difficult being an inspiring teacher as the pupil always look for grey areas, where they can find the teacher faltering, so the teacher also needs to reinvent himself/herself in joy, energy, spirits and knowledge. It’s the energy from the teachers which sparkles on the pupil to make the mysteries unravel.
We always believe that we are perfect human beings in the moment, but yet there is a lot of perfection yet to be achieved. If I am good today I shall aspire for being even better tomorrow but If I don’t know what ways can I be better the path can be very difficult to walk. I know I have grown from even yesterday and I would be much better than my current self, when tomorrow comes. The trust and confidence of the teachers emanates and refine personality every time.
I  take  responsibility of my decisions and grow from them, the decisions are from my instincts which guide me, what my mind comprehends for me and I honor my combined decisions. And my teachers have been holding a light for my growth in this direction, in my capability and my responsibilities. 
May you all continue to hold the light in my path always !

We at AOL often say "Jai Gurudeva" but we seldom know the significance of this. "Jai" means "glory to", "guru" is derived from the two words gu and ru, gu meaning darkness, ru meaning light, deva means bright being. Hence "jai Gurudeva" means "glory to the bright being who takes us from darkness to light".

Jai Gurudeva.

Zoom up on your energy Each person carries with him/her a persona, which is very unique to the person. And this persona is nothing but your energy zone which gets impacted also by the people, you are with. Did you realize somedays, we are too low on energy and other days are normal or high energy? I recently read an article on the same and it described that everytime you are with people (which is all the time :-D), they start to draw from your energy or you start drawing on theirs, depending on where the source is high (Source fills to the sink ..the physics principle). It examplified the same with the scenarion that, if you are sitting with a person, who is continuosly yamning (he/she is low in energy at that moment) and shall start sapping on your energy, till the time you split from that meeting your own energy levels would have gone down from before. Its a very interesting phenomenon to understand reiki and meditations are all based on the same principle. We are all sources of ene

Am I Your FRIEND ?

One of my best friend shared it with me this morning and i liked an interesting conversation which followed and I wanted it at my blog too, so here it is :) I AM not your friend if..... you have to think before you speak to me! I am not your friend if..... my presence ever makes you feel uncomfortable! I am not your friend if..... you have to thank me for everything i do for you! I am not your friend if..... you have to say sorry for everything that you don't do! I am not your friend if..... you have to ask me for favors! I am not your friend if..... you think i would not be curious to know your new philosophy of life! I am not your friend if..... you go by what i say and do not understand what i don't say! I am not your friend if..... you think that listening to your dreams would put me to sleep! I am not your friend if..... you think that seeing you in pain, would not bring a tear to me! I am not your friend if..... you think I do not remember the first time we met! I am not

I was just catching up on with some friends recently and Ankit quoted on my dance classes. And I quipped to him that I need to write a blog for that. More so it was an excuse for taking time out which I had been avoiding for a long time for a lot of work load around. To an extent I didnt miss my blog for I kept writing in one way or the other :) I havent left my dance school as yet..and I hope not to do so as well. Its been a long time I have been with them and over these years I have learnt a lot ..a little more than just dance and it helped me overall. I learnt patience ...you dont get things in one shot ..yet you have to keep striving for it..keep on finding what works for you and once you do ..try for even higher..can u do yet better than that. I was commenting to Ashu (at work) that there was a time I wanted to be able to address a group of people as a good communicator and not only a communicator I wanted to hold their attention till the time I was talking and I didnt have it in
