Marriage

The topic of discussion last saturday was Marriage.
The 1st comment was Marriage can be a great teaching or a curse.
The 2nd, Marriage is a great accident or a sweet incident.

Most of us questioned how marriage can be a great accident? Isn't it a series of accidents?
If a man/woman is prepared for Marriage, it would be a sweet incident?
But are any of us prepared before a marriage? We are not even ready for a wedding until the day dawns!

The joint consensus was
If you can let go of your personality(EGO) & be open to take in & embrace the other person as a whole(the pluses & minuses), then, you change the great accident to a sweet incident.
How feasible is this?
Sounds Crazy!
Impossible!
Well, can't we give it a try? After all, marriage requires constant nurturing.
Nothing is impossible with the mind.

Though the relationship involves 2 people, how one person reacts pretty much decides how the other person will take it & react back. So, throwing apart the fact that marriage requires both parties to co-operate & talk together, I think we can avoid many things by not reacting(specially, immediately!!!). Now, that is difficult too! But no pains, no gains!
The topic was an eye-opener unto any relationship!
So, here I am, making the mark, so that I do not forget this in future.

Isha Yoga

Though I knew it, one of our family brought it to light that it has been a long time I posted here. I'd love to say that the last few weeks were pretty hectic & I just couldn't find time to write something here. Not so! The last few weeks have been totally different. I've had the time to do so many things that were in my "to do" list for a long time. Thanks to better management of time & sleep. The secret: a seven day yoga program. A very close friend forced me to join this course. I was hesitant & skeptical. I was not sure I was up for the 30 min twice a day commitment(40 days). I have a toddler & I really toggle between her & other work at home already. Plus what big change would come? But somehow, I registered for this class. Since I read somewhere that they give discount for married couples, I brought G in too(though the main reason would be to make sure I get through the 40 days). From the day I registered till the 1st day at class, this...

Where the tigers dwell

Exploring India's premier national park in Uttarakhand was a long-held dream realized. Jim Corbett National Park not only acquainted me with its resident tigers but also offered insights into the life of Jim Corbett himself. His literary works sparked my curiosity and offered company during breaks between safaris. Numerous moments left me in awe: The gentle descent of golden leaves from the towering Sal trees. The profound silence enveloping the forest. To interpret the language of the forest. The majestic presence of the Ramganga river. Witnessing two fish owls unsuccessfully pursue a yellow-throated martin. Hearing the measured tread of a tiger through the dry leaves and finally seeing it in its habitat(more than once). Perusing Jim Corbett's books within the park. Recognizing the profound significance of such sanctuaries, benefiting both wildlife and personal introspection. At times, the safaris seemed like a quest, a fervent pursuit to sight tigers. The outings typically co...
