No, that isn’t a typo. Anju says that I crack dad jokes. And so, today’s title humors her. There are multiple versions of the “Yuga” theory in Sanātana Dharma. Some calculations go into trillions of years, others a more respectable thousands. So there is an ongoing debate now if this is Kaliyuga, or ascending Dwapara …
I like to be by myself, when I am not well. When people hear this, they think that I am lonely. Actually, there is a lot of difference between being lonely and being alone. Being lonely is the state when you miss NOT being alone. Being alone, on the other hand, is just spending time …
So day 1 of the canal of the root, She really did drill into my toot, An x-ray and a filling, and a little bit of killing, Have left me all but mute! The moral of the story, as we all understand though bitter experience, is that prevention is better than cure. All I had …
Ok. This is still not Vetāla. One more person barged into my routine, and this is the result of it. Actually, how many of you end the day exactly how you thought you would, when the day started? How often do our routines get interrupted, how often do we get distracted…it’s all too easy nowadays …

Read the previous part here… So International Day of Yog came and went, and I hope that you made something of it. Other than striking a pose on Instagram I mean. That’s the thing isn’t it? When we celebrate something, it has to be outwardly, out-worldly, mostly external. Birthday? Put up pics to show how …
Read the previous part here… Tomorrow is International Yoga Day. How do I start yoga? Quite a common question yes? Most people are used to enrolling in the neighbourhood yoga class, where the instructor quickly takes you through preparatory stretching, gets into simple postures and wraps it up with a 5 or 10 minute meditation …
So International Yoga Day is upon us once again. And it’s that time of the year, when we all receive mails from studios, big and small, for a 1-2 hour free session, mostly to bait you for the monthly or quarterly sessions. Some plain vanilla, some exotic. Some offering speed yoga, others mindful yoga, and …
Here is what I thought yesterday. Today, I showered, shaved, put on a new shirt, and reached the venue an hour in advance. Me and my fellow speakers had a jamming session over coffee, just to warm up. The session was at 10 am. Or so I thought. When I walked up to the backstage …
Well, the title is a bit misleading. I have been speaking, and speaking quite a bit the past one year. Zoom and Google Meet have it’s advantages, but one main disadvantage is that average call times have increased by yards.
