Some memories aren't meant to Change

         After a very long time, I tagged my mum to M.g.Road. It's one of my most favorite haunts from school. Just walking down M.G or Brigade is always nostalgic. And today was no different. Hawkers with their goods, shopkeepers beckoning you to check out items, the memories remain the same.
While I was walking on the road, I happened to stop by a pick up a pair of ear rings. Yellow and red combination with a hoop. Then happened to walk into Soch store and pick up a sari. My mum picked up a sari too. We had a burger at Mc.'D and then walked to Commercial store. 
Overall, it was a day well spent and some memories aren't meant to change ever.

Movie Buff For Life

         I simply love movies. I have always been a movie buff. I watch movies in five languages - Hindi, English, Kannada, Telugu and Tamil. Recently I watched - Simmba. Ranveer's acting was so energetic and entertaining. I always wonder who much effort, time, money and energy is invested in making a movie. One Friday release at the box office declares it a Hit or a Miss. 
But Simmba was so entertaining that there never was a dull moment in the movie. My favorite is the remake song - Ankh Marey! The whole time we sat in the theater, I didn't feel the need to look at my watch even once. The in-between Marathi dialogues was so good that I fondly remembered and missed having my Marathi friend next to me to translate the dialogues. 

So for all you movie enthusiasts, if you have missed watching this movie- Go Watch and have a Hearty Laugh!

My Take - On Book # 1

As promised, I am starting 'My Take' on every book I read. Let's begin with my first book for the year 2019 - HEADS YOU WIN!

Heads You Win is by Jeffrey Archer. 

This author spins the most amazing tales that takes you on the most enchanting journey. This book makes you fall in love with the Character - Alexander Karpenko. The book takes us through two parallel journeys of Alexander's life. One in U.K and the other in the U.S. When one is at the crossroads of life and a choice has to be made,we choose one and leave the other. But we never get to know how our lives would turn out to be had we chosen the other path. With this book, Jeffrey Archer shows us how both the choices would have worked out. When one choice is made, how would the other choice have been. So, embark upon this parallel journey, for this book is an absolute delight to the readers. 

My Take: Absolutely Amazing Read- High Recommendation!

A Spiritual Awakening - Part 2

               In continuation to yesterday's blog, here are a few more eye openers from the book,

1. There are 114 major Chakras in the system.
2. 2 out of 114, are outside the physical body 
3. Out of 112, only 108 can be actually worked upon.
4. The remaining 4 just flower as a consequence.
5. 108 is manifested in the human system, because it is manifested in the making of the solar system.
6. The ratio of the diameter of the sun and the distance between the earth and the sun is 108 times.
7. The ratio of the diameter of the moon and the distance between the earth and the moon is 108 times.
8. The ratio of the diameter of the earth and the sun is 108 times.
9. Hence, the Rudraksh has 108 beads.

A Spiritual Awakening - Part 1

      Recently I finished reading Sadhguru's book - Emotion and Relationships. I found something written in that book so fascinating that I decided to post it here.

Its titled Cosmic Connect and the brief is below,
1. The word Yoga means Union.
2. Yoga revolves around 3 dimensions: Mastering the energy from the sun, the moon and being in tune with earth. 
3. We unknowingly spin with the planet and the calculation is,
Earth's equator is divided into 360 degrees. Each degree is further divided into minutes. There are 60 minutes in every degree. One minute for one nautical mile, so the circumference of the earth at the equator is 21,600 nautical miles. We take 15 breaths per minute, 900 breaths per hour, 21,600 breaths in a day.

Stop and think over it. It makes so much sense.

The next bit will be for tomorrow's blog!
