I used to think that people sit and close their eyes and take some breathing and try to concentrate on their foreheads and that's it!  That's Meditation for you!  But NO! Far from it...it's an addiction. I am breathless to tell what it is exactly! I am squeezed within these three days. Inside and outside.  Each screw of my mind, body and soul has gone nuts. I have gone blank! Generally, when we get up in the morning, either we look forward to the day or we shun the day because we detest it. But here the situation has gone so strange that my existence has started taking a new meaning.  Everything is ready to be broken into pieces but still I don't want to miss out. I have been a very sincere, studious kind of pupil till now, as people say. Is it my sincerity or my quest that drives me crazy over a crazy morning jumping and God know what session! Well, my routines have gone haywire but I look forward to something more o...

Sitting on a cot and shelling peas under the Sun. Chattering, laughing, sitting relaxed with the woolens on one side and the faces getting as bright as the rays. A common sight,in bright winter afternoons. If not in flats, at least in colonies where this comradeship is still appreciated. Sheer time waster!  Can't they find something better to do?  Something, more useful?  So, I thought just like so many, oh-so-savvy-office-goers! Not, after a decade. "Shelling Peas under the Sun" is in fact a "luxury" not everybody can afford. WHY & HOW IT BENEFITS YOU - "TO SHELL PEAS UNDER THE SUN" &  IT IS SOMETHING YOU CAN'T BUY WITH MONEY! Strong bones, height, weight, blood circulation and lots more.   Many systems of our body can be strengthened just by sitting under the Sun. The precious sunlight is a rich source of vitamin D and it helps calcium to be absorbed by our bones. ...
