Itchy Head

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...

Alarm went off around 4.30 am.  My calves were aching and I not at all felt like getting up, let alone going to do Yoga & Meditation! But it was our anniversary yesterday and I feel embarrassed to say that I forgot it completely. I got to recall late in the evening when my Mother in law called up to congratulate. To make up with the lost promises, I got up and ready to go. By the time, those people also called up to remind about the session. We were very much on time. Lights were off.

I always wondered, what all they do in a meditation class. I attended a couple of meditation and prayer sessions around the neighborhood or on request of some of my relatives but this was different today. Before I share what happened today, I am compelled to share the extremities of what I have seen in earlier meditation sessions.  MAD HATTERS' TEA PARTY  The one I attended a few years back in my neighborhood left me amused. It was kind of a huge kitty party thing. Everyone was so decked up with makeup and jewelry and designer wear to outshine each other.  There we had that praying in worst of our voices but that also kind of parody of some kind. All niceties and talks of happening party around the weekend. Then, there we had that tea, jalebi,samosa and all those fried,spicy and sweet things as Prasad, which everyone must eat because it was Guruji's blessings! That meditation and prayer session really opened my eyes! Go to attend any of t...
