After a very hectic and interesting day at the office the only blessing we seek is a relaxing weekend to recharge the mental batteries and lubricate the worn down thinking machine housed in our craniums.
So was I hoping until I made that fateful call to my DEd center. I have to appear in an exam tomorrow! Three subjects and only a few hours to pray (read prepare ;) ). I remembered someone's words:
"Next time, be proactive. Not reactive."
This was not the "Next time". I have been a sloth and now I am all mentally set to pay it with a sleepless night and over worked brain over the weekend which I otherwise spend watching a movie or doing something else considered counterproductive if done during the weekdays.
So, time to go off to the study table...
Take care!

Reverberations continue...
When your stars take a turn, in unison with the ever altering crisscrosses on your palms, scores of things happen around you and you feel straddled in a vortex of events, not able to figure out the significance of either and the probable consequence of any.
This Vortex of changes is not new to you. You have witnessed it earlier and you know how it passes by, and how while it is passing by, you will be blessed with a valuable treasure of wisdom and truth.
These happenings, however confusing and illogical they might seem, are connected to something mystical and divine, a touch of conspiracy is what we feel in those moments. A conspiracy that happens in the Universe to permanently alter the path that leads us to our destinies and in turn, change our destinies as well.
Seems like someone has been watching us doing the right and wrong while fooling around in the world and decides our new destiny on the basis of some positive and negative scores on some divine scorecard based on some divine principles. Something has to be done to direct us to this new path so that our new destination may be ours. The interim judgment is made.
And the conspiracy begins...

Mysterious reverberations
Somewhat strange, somewhat welcome, somewhat surprising, somewhat disturbing, somewhat auspicious, somewhat mystical.
Such has been the essence of last couple of weeks' life.
This time of every year has been a time of major changes in my life if I go by the experience of past few. As if the guardian of destiny writes new chapter in my life every year and subjects me to new tests and educates me of my new limits in the process.
This year around again, certain changes around me have again put me in a fix and I am feeling a mixture of pride, blessing and sadness all at the same time. But given our skills to modify the perspective, and company of some friends who keep mentoring me to sharpen this skill of mine, it becomes all the more easier to view the happenings around you as a new opportunity for growing still more mature, trusting still more in your luck. And I feel brave enough to give my luck a little push off the edge and see the edge growing to accommodate you!
I might be experimenting with my luck, there isn't a slightest of uncertainty about the outcome as everything is going to end well.
That's how it has been all these times :-)
Lets see...
Good Night

Acckkk! Chhhooooo!!
Common cold turns common people into an uncommon state. Both mental and physical.
Indications were setting on since this Wednesday. But today I woke up with a mild temperature accompanied by a blocked nose and sore throat. On top of that a rumbling tummy. And my head decided to warn me about all that is going wrong with the body with a nice headache!
First step out of the bed and...
Acchhoooo!! :-) Was someone's remembering me? Not exactly.
And that was just the beginning for the day.
Well but all that was not going to deter me in anyways and with an agenda already lined up for the day. It was not the correct time to give in to little ills. However united they were. They won't stand a chance here. And when I have to do some errands around the city, sitting and relaxing was out of question even though it was a weekend off from work.
Many friends suggested many things, if you honor them, you got to trust those strange sounding remedies anyways. So based on that, I turned myself into a Guinea pig and tried Pepper Tea (regular cup of tea with half teaspoon of pepper. It works!), Ginger tea, Sualin tablets (for throat), Strepsils, Anulom Vilom Pranayam etc etc.
I apologize to friends who suggested medications as I believe that we should not resort to medications if the ailment is not that severe or the discomfort manageable. In my case, discomfort of a running nose, a headache, and a sore throat did not merit a medical treatment. Even when all of them charged at my loving body together.
So, for the upset tummy, I skipped a dinner and took big pinch of Ajwain and water only. Runny nose? Only one cure for that! ;-)
Tell you what? Anulom Vilom Pranayam relieves blocked and runny nose immediately and longer you practice it longer are you relieved for. But one precaution though, keep lots of tissues handy! :-)
Sore throat kept on getting better n better with Ginger tea and Strepsils. Does that counts as medication? Doctor might have suggested a course of antibiotics for a week. So I think not.
Now with a minor discomfort of blocked nose, the ordeal seems to be fairly over. So see you in a still better shape tomorrow.
One last thought though. Having to move around the city in such condition taught me how to blow nose in public without making a noise! ;-)
Happy sneezing!
