The Monk Who Sold His Mac

Yeah, I was excited to own a Mac Book Pro a year ago. Now, I've learned better ways to own a computer than spending a lot of money on Mac Book. And also, it is for me to shift the gear according to my speed. I sold my Mac on the last day I left the job and the island.

My interests are changed. I'll improvise and adopt ways to lead a money-less life. Linux is the best option for me which will cost less. I'll go for it if I ever want to use a laptop again.

I never had any preferences in terms of comfort. I kept shifting from one environment to another without owning any living standards.

"Each of us will one day be judged by our standard of life --not by our standard of living; by our measure of giving --not by our measure of wealth; by our simple goodness --not by our seeming greatness." -William Arthur.

Good Bye Seychelles

(5th September, 2012) The affair with Seychelles (Known as paradise) came to an end. Reached my apartment after finishing work at 8PM and wrote a resignation letter 2nd time (I'll write more in future posts) and went to bed. (6th September, 2012) Today, the first thing I've done at my work was submission of my resignation saying today was my last day at work. I always wanted to have such freedom at any cost. The cost I've paid this time was hurting my team mates who are so close to my heart. Sorry my dear buddies, I had to take a serious decision and I took it. I'm sure you all will appreciate what I'm going to do hereafter. Everyone of you made me feel so special. In fact, you all are special. I really would like to hear from you achieving more. When I joined this resort around 2 years ago, felt saying hello with a smile to every person who comes across appeared to be a distraction. I wanted to be with me more while walking or eating. However, starte...

WHAT IS YOGA FOR YOU?

For me yoga isn’t different from my life in total and as well as in pieces. I never wish to preach without practice. I can’t compromise in it. Since, I’ve started practicing yoga lot of transformation happened. From suppression to transcendence. Being very regular to sadhana (Practice). Being at ease all the time. What is yoga for me? Yoga is a hobby for me. It is a trance in which I feel completely overwhelming. It is a solace to all my psychic wounds. Yoga is like mamma’s lap for me. Whenever there are any issues bothering me, I get lot of moral support from my sadhana. Mamma knows what I want and when. I just start my sadhana without any intention, simply without any intention. At the end what I find is understanding, the better understanding.  Yoga is just not about 8 lymbs for me. It is not like commandments to me. It is just like the way it is. No fight, no escapism, simply the truth minute by minute. What is Yoga for me? Initially, yoga was a way to do lot of Asanas and achi...

One year away from India...

Recently finished one year away from my home country. The main difficulty was with the food. Managed with dal (Lentil) throughout the year. Once a while some vegetable curries which means a feast. It was out of my expectations that someone would eat meat right from the morning till I've reached this island (Seychelles). If you are wondering what I'm doing here. Here is the answer; I'm working as a yoga instructor for a 5 star resort. My yoga friends told that they were hoping that I would teach yoga in any holistic place in a holistic manner. I think, I've disappointed many people by joining a 5 star resort. What should I tell about my work place? Recently I heard two of my colleagues talking 1St colleague: This world is unfair, look at all those Christmas gifts which are being packed to distribute to our rich guests who don't need them and nothing is being done about poor people who are really in need. 2nd Colleague: Oh come on, before questioning someone else, i...
