Colors of Life ! Happy Holi !

Yellow, green, blue, red, violet, orange…
The vivid colors of the nature
Making it vibrant and expressive
And beautiful too
Much like the colors of life
Each color holds feelings, nuances and moods of our changing mind …
When the painter mixes all the colors on the palette, it is depressing black
Yet “white” the purest, the holiest and the most sacred color, is the mother of all colors
It gives birth to the hue of colors - Yellow, green, blue, red, violet, orange…
When we remain untouched by the colors of our mind, we remain the pristine white !

The trip to Madhya Pradesh by road

The trip to Madhya Pradesh by road This particular trip has been very very memorable for a number of reasons ... starting from the fact that I came back home the night before 12:30 from Bangalore (same day actually!) and was ready to hit the road on our Vento with assuring hubby dear on its wheels along with ma and bapi ,the next day morning 7:30 am ... Little did I know what a rich variety of experiences will befall me the next 8/9 days ! We had to reach Bandhavgarh tiger reserve as our first destination which was a 2 days journey by road with an intermediate night stop at the divine city of Varanasi. We reached around 9 PM to Varanasi after a very nice drive of around 600 kms with acceptable road conditions at most places and some nice scenery near the Hazaribagh and Dehri-on-Sone region. Through out the trip, Ma & Bapi kind of competed with each other in clicking photographs on their cameras and cell phones! It was amusing to watch them fidget with the devices and observe

Do not let the child grow

Do not let the child grow D o you remember the wide eyed kid that you were many years back? Those absolutely carefree times when you discovered a new thing or two at every nook or corner. Remember the first time you saw heavy rains and wondered from where so much water coming from. Or the first time you saw water logging in streets and longed to jump in that filthy water Or the first time you saw a rainbow and kept gazing at it. The first time you saw a skyfull of stars and kept bothering your dad or mom to explain those twinkling sources of light. The first time you saw a butterfly and were so excited to see so many colors together. The first time you discovered a touch-me-not plant in your backyard and were amused beyond words. Your days were laced with so many “firsts” and yet the “firsts” never seemed to tire you. Your infectious enthusiasm and energy never fell short of questions to ask from the elders. Fast forward to the present day you – a hot shot professional i

Time with Kids

Time with Kids There were 26 of them all, their age ranging from 7 to 14 years. They do not live as comfortably as I used to in my childhood. Most of them sleep in cramped rooms of size 8' X 8' with questionable hygiene. They do not go to the best schools of the town. Neither their parents are over-eager to have them educated nor do they care about taking them to extra-curricular classes. They were children from a slum dwelling in South Kolkata, yet they had the same innocence on their faces as any child from a well-to-do family. I was very thankful to Kajaldi (Kajal Nag) for asking me to come over to that area to take a Bal Chetna Shibir (roughly translates into "Awareness camp for children"). It was my first Bal Chetna Shibur, and though I was happy, I had no idea who would it turn out to be. Bal Chetna Shibir is a beautiful course of Art of Living which teaches children very core human values through games, stories , processes and some pranayams and meditation.
