back home !

I have approached (only) two kind beings for psychological/spiritual help after a traumatic incident 4 years ago.  First one was a young and fine therapist from Mumbai.  A wonderful woman, younger than me. She spoke little in the sessions, as a rule. I was encouraged to speak from the beginning till the end of the session. She only listened and took notes :D . I recollected memories from the past, discovering where the trauma started. I expressed more. I felt valued, significant, hopeful. Laughed more at discoveries. And cried and cried. Cried and then laughed. Vented out feelings of betrayal, fears of abandonment. Felt better after each session. But, did I think about the girl on the other side who offered herself completely as a “Therapist”?  I felt light and was ready to "this-time-more-consciously" create another round of mess with all my validated emotions :D. But how is she feeling? Did my emotion care about hers? More emotion means more concern or empathy, right? N...

    (Image: A mother cat protecting her kittens from male cats) I love watching animals endlessly. Their behaviors, innocence, liveliness... beauty, responsibility I just love how they are. Everything is beauty. Everything they do is with full of focus and heart.   Observing kittens can be most fulfilling. It is wonderful to see how they celebrate life, be extremely playful. Kittens are bundles of pure innocence. I see no difference between a kitten, a calf, a lamb, a chicken. All of them are just pure innocence. Each creature is unique, expressing its beauty. I see ocean as a creature too and I enjoy watching how it expresses itself. Sun is also a living being in my belief and I enjoy his presence and I enjoy his compassionate touch through evening and early morning Sunshine. If we observe, it is so majestic to notice the stillness in animals. The mind that is free of all confusions, very firm in what is known. Animals are always connected deeply to...

Having spent many days watching lot of stuff on Netflix, I finally found something extremely meaningful. From the time I started watching the series of "Stories of Rabindranath Tagore", I have falling in love with every story. So filled with true emotions, truth, meaningfulness and righteousness, the stories are depicted in such a way that the watcher naturally goes into himself, questions himself, relating himself with the stories analyzing his life. This is what I did. The stories express the real problems of humanity, the true feelings of people and impossible observation of human psyche. The content shows clearly about the greatness of the writer. I am sure he must be an enlightened master with stories to tell, teachings to pass on. As I watched about 12 series now, I have got so many answers to my own questions which remained unanswered for so many years. At the end, all I felt was the acceptance of the problems itself. The level of wisdom the writer prove...

It's my 8th time to the Kodachadri Hills and each time has been different and beautiful  experience . This time I realised that the trip to Kotachadri is very simple, very natural and a basic requirement to be in touch with the Nature. I got a call from my home asking me if I could join. Not thinking twice, I immediately booked the ticket for the next available train and I was home before they expected me. After a lazy day at mom's home, we started the trip early morning. Here is the route we chose this time- Onward: 1. Train from Mangalore to Baindoor 2. Bus to Kollur- 3. Bus to kodachadri ( kollur- Hosanagara bus) Return: 1. Jeep to N agara 2 KSRTC bus to Baindoor 3. Baindoor to Mangalore local train. We started the hike. On the way, we visited the Krishna temple. It was lovely hospitality. Sharing the music with them, we had a heart purification..  The water they offered was so so energetic !! Putting Kadale at the canteen nearby was fulfilling. Then started ste...
