This story is from the book “Walking in Zen, Sitting in Zen” and its obviously a Zen story ! …………………………………………………………………… “Two temples were traditionally antagonistic to each other. Both priests had a small boy to run errands and both priests told the boys, ‘Don’t talk to the boy […]
I had written earlier about Marie Kondo’s book – Book Review #1/50 – The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying and how I had de-cluttered my sarees. We continued with the de-cluttering exercise and first de-cluttered Krishnan’s suits, shirts, pants and ties. Had the same experience as with the sarees, in that, […]
On Amma’s birthday, I wore the first ever Manipuri Moirangphee saree. I had connected with the Manipuri Handloom Sarees page on FB in 2017 when I found out about the Moirangphee sarees on some saree forum. The colours were beautiful, the flower motifs were stunning and I definitely […]
On Feb 14th, supposedly the day of love, cowards from Pakistan’s terrorist cells attacked a CRPF convoy and 44 soldiers were martyred … The tricolour wrapped coffins hold the lifeless body parts of our soldiers killed in hatred not war. Some of the coffins are empty because no […]

We reached the Kumbh village by 11.45 am a full two hours late 😀. Vandana reached ten minutes before us. We took the Poorvottar express last night and it reached Prayag Raj a full 1.5 hours late. But one look at the Prayag Raj station and some of […]
As I write this blog, six people have been killed in a derailment accident in Bihar two days back. Condolences to the families of the bereaved and its unfortunate that such an accident even happened. Am sure the Railways will find the root cause and fix the issue. […]
