I have no time!

I am so busy, I don’t have time to exercise… If the above statement is you, it’s time to change it. There is some spring cleaning to do before it happens, but it will be worth it. And believe me, it works. I have been through it myself and I saw results. A word of …

Of punches and kicks…

All these days, I spoke about āsanās and a bit of prānāyāmā. Good, but generally considered soft. Today I speak of martial arts. Good, but generally considered rough. Karate is an art… that combines the ying and the yang, the hard and the soft, the kata and the Kumite… Yog is a way of life, that …

And then he turned 45…

45 is an odd number. Yes, odd from the number system perspective. But also odd from the perspective of life. It’s not a crossroads number (that’s mostly 40, for some reason).

The beauty of no-mind…

How many of you find it difficult to just sit, for around 30 minutes? By sit I don’t mean on a computer, or watching Netflix. Sitting as in without doing a thing, by not being busy, and also away from your phone. Yes I know. Sitting is fine, but the moment I mentioned ‘away from …
