bad start to good omens

reading a book for the last 4 months. i just can't finish it. the more i read, the more the remaining number of pages i see. it's not only an interesting book, but a fast -paced one too. plan to finish it by this weekend. terry pratchett and neil gaimon, it's not your fault. maybe, i didn't start it at an auspicious hour.

news

today, the mns people beat abu azmi for taking oath in hindi (and not marathi). hmmm...so we have more news for our news-hungry citizens. one more interesting topic to talk about over a couple of drinks, or coffee, or sitting on the katta... i'm actually divided in my thoughts when it comes mns...while i do like what raj thakrey' stands for, i wonder if such actions are going to achieve anything good eventually.

but, as citizens, we are a happy lot as long as we keep getting news like these to pass our time. hai na!?

recharged

it's been a long time since i wrote, or blogged. there was simply nothing to write about. or i simply didn't feel like writing. my mind was on a trip, flitting every moment from one subject to another aimlessly. i thought i should meditate. i tried but didn't really know the methods. checked out a lot of sites; asked few people; read few books , but none could help me learn. then S told me i should try Art of Living. i jumped at the idea and before i knew i was amongst a handful of 30 somethings, 40 somethings, 50 somethings and 60 somethings.

i felt strange, like a stranger in a strange place doing strangest of things. i felt stupid in the beginning, then like a kid and then i felt a calm within like i had never felt before. every moment was a fresh moment in life, which gave me a new perspective on everyday things. i could not sleep at nights, and was told it was due to high amount of energy that i gained during the evening kriya. by the end of the 6th and the final day at the course 1, i felt absolutely recharged. it was a wonderful, strange but wonderful, experience and there is no feeling like being recharged.
