I came across an interesting blog citing negative effects of Sudarshan Kriya, a breathing technique, which forms the basic foundation of the Art of Living. I started attending Art of Living courses to de-stress and have more peaceful moments in my life. I find the fact that teachers are volunteers and not paid, very compelling. [...]

I just returned from Art of Silence, which is a part 2 course of The Art of Living. I did part 1 in Jan, and part 2 ended today. I feel so disoriented returning to this world and NYC. I actually wanted to do DSN which is Part 3 since it was being offered in [...]

I did the Art of Living course 3 years back, and it was extremely helpful in managing stress and emotions. I have been feeling very homesick of late, missing and worrying about my parents constantly, and decided to do it again. It was an amazing experience, much better than the first time.

I met my couple friends today for lunch, and had a wonderful time. They have two adorable kids – the older is very intelligent, and the younger too adorable for words.

I moved to the Upper East side 2 weeks back, and its boring as hell. Few people, nothing to do… lacks the hustle and bustle of the west side. It is much quieter, and I kind of like not having to wade through tourists, but its too quiet. I ordered in Thai, Sushi, and Indian, [...]
Complicated relationships…

Have you ever felt like someone has reached out into your heart and squeezed it so hard that it feels wounded, hard to breathe, and so full to bursting… I feel that way today. My limbs feel lifeless, and I don’t feel like eating or doing anything. Relationships are so complicated. Sometimes I wish for [...]
