Yoga - my own definition

Image
I was recently talking about my yoga regime with a friend and he happened to ask me, what is this practice and what is it do for people. Its quite true yet strange that its such a widely owned and renowned practice of Indian culture, yet we have to make separate ways to get to learn it. Its not a part of our schooling or day to day learning, and one needs to know what you can do with it. Yoga, as per me, is not just a practice but almost a ritual. I have been involved with for the last 20 years. Its as much a part of my lifestyle that a day of lapse feels something a-miss in the day. And its been such a long time, yet I am all the time inspired when I meet or learn from new teachers. It has so much in its folds that small variations lead to new creativity. There are typically many branches of yoga in Hindu philosophy including Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Hatha Yoga.Raja Yoga primarily is compiled in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and known simply as yoga .

I didn ’t miss my blog for sometime now, until one of the friends discovered and shared that he liked my writings. I was taken by surprise since I was so inactive for a long time and it made me wish to write again, even if not as frequently but as seldom as time permits. I really like the enthusiasm Amitabh Bachhan has for writing and he writes unbelievably good. Sometimes when I read his blog, it leaves me dumbfounded, he is truly truly an artist with the capability to share his emotions and feelings with his audience using the words. Its as well put in as if he would like to tell a story or sit with you like a family member and tell how his day went by. And its also amazing to keep pouring thoughts day after the other. That’s the dimensioning of the way mind works, its throwing thoughts contiguously and writers only need to know they need to capture the flow. There was this email I read today, which said beautifully that ones writings are something one leaves behind for safe keepi

Women's day

Image
I remember I have been writing my thoughts on this day for the past many years. Its been for British Council, a women's magazine and this time I thought why not on my blog. I think there are numerous women who have contributed to the strength women showcase today. The first women who could make it to school, the first one who could make it to college and than adding work in the life as a significant milestone to the women of today. It must have been so difficult to cut the boundaries of the conserves the society was surmounted with in the last century. The willpower and courage from these individuals in some corner of the world made an exemplary that living with all such boundaries vanished comes at no surprise today. Its because of these individuals that these issues are no longer an issue at least in urban sections today. Women make their own choices and decisions and are able to follow their dreams. Its not an easy ride, but women who today is educated knows how she can make a m

The journey called life

We are perfect 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 excellent tomorrow. If I don’t know I am good today, I shall aspire for just improving, and at the same time if I think I am excellent today, I know I don’t have much more to do further. Both the states are harmful for growth. I know I have grown from even yesterday and I would be much better than my current self tomorrow. I make my decisions each day 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. They are the signs to ao ahead and make each days mystery unravel. When innocence and intellegence go together they achieve a beautiful person in manifestation, which each one of us should aspire to be.

Ghazini - movie review

Image
After such a long time a movie made me write something about it on my blog. Its such a capturing and compelling performance from Aamir, that it left me awestruck. I personally think he has a caliber which brings him to the classiest of the performances in the industry today. His presence in the frames makes one not to wink and to top it all he is looking good. The age which was visible on him in some of his past performances is fading away..maybe it’s a reflection of the work he has done on his body - it takes a lot of pain to achieve that and for all the hard work there he deserves a huge applaud. The theme of the movie is too violent to my taste, yet I would recommend it to watch for a perfectionist's perfect performance. One of the song "Kaise mujhe tum mil gaye" stays with one even after the movie gets over, its nicely sung, composed and picturized.
