Pokemon-Go is making everyone on the GO!
No doubt the teens are out and about, but alas eyes are on their gadgets while trying to capture one of the Pokemon.

Went for a walk to the park, and it felt like bionic men wandering the paths since eyes were glued to their screens.


Mantra for today: Man's choices make me wonder if we are headed for a crazy world!

Got a chance to visit the Veteran's hospital and got goosebumps when I saw these small placards next to various rose bushes.

"In Memory of xxx."

The 'xxx' fought for our country then thus allowing humankind to breathe in the oxygen of freedom and even now continues to emit fragrance to his countrymen.

Amazing how one man can give so much!

Mantra for today: Man's mental capacity beats the limitations of his skeletal structure!

Windy evening this side, while driving I see the street sign flapping violently yet, hanging on securely to the grapnel.

Made me wonder....who is our anchor? 

What makes us stand firm amidst a storm which tends to blow off our mind and drain us emotionally or mentally? 
What keeps you grounded?

When Mother Nature pours, even the sidewalks show their gratitude.

As I strolled around on the warm sunny streets, I was grateful for the freedom to be able to jaunt at leisure while some brethren crave for this noun as it puts them in confinement either due to political unrest or health issues.

Mantra for today: “Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”

Today the sky spoke my "mind."

At times I was blank. Sometimes I had a cluster of thoughts while there were moments when there was just one thought that expanded like a flowchart and confused me further!

Best of all...I was mindful of the above!

Mantra for today: With mindfulness, you can establish yourself in the present in order to touch the wonders of life that are available in that moment.

Yes, It's here!

A story that revolves around the quest for happiness. We all look around for it at every nook and corner, but there are some who travel the seas to get themselves quenched with it. This story is about such a voyage whose intention was known, but it lead to the unknown.

This is a name of a Restaurant that I visited in December. It was not just an eating place, but had many factors that made my visit divine!
Thus, making this name very dear to me!

As we are still in the first month of this year, I would like us all to be aware, mindful, attentive and alive as the mind churns thoughts.  Since these thoughts make us perform actions.

Let us all travel under the shade of the Bodhi tree that will enlighten our path as we continue to tread upon it in 2016.

Mantra for today: “Do not look for happiness outside yourself. The awakened seek happiness inside.”
