PSS

PSS - perpetual Stress Syndrome:

hmm!!! I knew something was wrong with me, when I came down with aches and pains over the past year or 2.. but cudnt put my finger on it.. I always carried the guilt of not setting a time aside for exercising.. I wanted to help myself .. and hence began the search for answers.. After going thru some info on yoga and healing this is what I found- people!! most of us suffer from PSS - perpetual stress syndrome.. we forget to relax or breath consistently.. it is unconsciously done.. when someone asked me to breath in and out it took me a while to figure out the most important and simple exercise we all are born with - BREATHINg normally.. inhalation and exhalation.. thats the focus in Yoga and healing.. with the onslaught of widespread exercise regimen - pilates, zumba, power workouts of everyname, to choose from these days, we oftentimes are attracted by heavy workouts basically to sweat your body like crazy.. ones which will tone down our muscles or body, oftentimes ignoring the fact that healing every inch of our body is equally or more important.. I am in noway insisting anyone to start yoga-ing right away.. but please make an effort to start breathing normally focusing on nothing but your regular breathing.. every cell of your body will thank you for the oxygen you fill them with, so they get their fuel to do their normal function.. more on YOga and healing as I assimilate info.. cant tell you, I already feel so energized sharing this info with all.. I began! I am sure pretty soon you all will be convinced enough to slide your body into feeling good soon too.. its all about your well-being..
My mind gets distracted while I am doing my regular breathing exercises..it gets drawn to the sink load of dishes to be washed but I am getting good @ refocussing on my breathing technique
FOr beginners - Kundalini Yoga, Pranayama(simple anolom, vilom), Breath of fire(short sniffs), the Cat stretch and some basic yoga stretches should work wonders. There are several freely available youtube videos on these. Balance it with food too.

12 food must eats:

1) Black beans
2) lean chicken
3) Salmon
4) Eggs
5) Oranges
6) Mixed berries
7) Almonds
8) Leafy salads
9) cook in Extra Virgin Olive oil
10) Low fat yogurt - Activia for women
11) Whole grain bread and whole grain cereal
12) Dark Chocolate(for dessert)
13) Women only - red Wine - 1 serving for dinner(optional) - if u have chronic illnesses please refer to doc..

This is a new beginning :)

Chance Encounter

social network tying the world in one big knot.. wow!!! u gotto love it!!
u get in touch with old friends and then make new ones over the internet.. chatting.. emailing.. sharing pics in ways which were unthot of even a decade back.. how we grow alongside tym.. only tym never gets older it flows like a river water.. some places narrow.. some places wide.. while people grow older and eventually die, tym never does.. wonder ven people will finally realize and let tym take its toll instead of trying to control it.. u cant stop the on-slaught of tech culture.. it will happen whether you like it or not.. only last tym ven Baba was here he hated the laptop and cudnt work it well.. but this tym around neither the remote bothered him nor my laptop.. and most of his tym was spent glued to the TV or the laptop.. which says that we eventually grow.. its like the masses catch up.. if anyone heard me say I dont like iPhone(I absolutely meant it).. only now there r few technologically advanced creatures who dont have one.. can u name one? its going on and its going to be all good.. the repurcussions we feel in a raising occurance of obesity, cancer,posture related issues, nervous disorders, and many such diseases and other problems.. but that doesnt necessitate a curb on advancement...
thats in continnum!!

Disjointed

So many ideas brewing in my head. What do I write about? nothing definitive.. so here you are:
Sherlock Holmes - What a genius! not him but the writer - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle... Cause its his character taking shape as Holmes and worded by Doc Watson. Reading the abriged collection. o!! its an awesome collection alrite and thanx to my BIL for his unique gift. Will cherish it for a long time to come.
Ayodhya - Ram Janma Bhumi ruling - I knew the property would be divided equally cause thats what India is about - a Secular country promoting the practice of any Religion. Now instead of fighting for which part of the property goes to whom, people should make a choice, live and let live.
Bill for Anti-outsourcing didnt get passed - set back for Obama? all for a cause - Its called politics. His inability to create jobs in the US marks one reason to vote against him. Media triggers headlines like 'more jobs in Bangalore than Baltimore'.
Politics is not my cup of tea, so I refrain from commenting any further. :)
Shakira starring as Ma Kali - hmmmm!! very interesting prospect!
Aur kya - life - philosophy - sometimes a distance from truth - yet we indulge in it - hoping and dreaming - keeping future prospect alive!
have a great life
live every single day!

Hil Par

Abbreviation for Hilarious Paresh Rawal!!
There are some people in this world you cant help but admire. This outstanding Bollywood actor is one such person I admire. His character acting and comedy has its uniqueness cause theres no seconds to it. Saw his drama/natak last nite and enjoyed it to the core. There wasnt a dearth of laughter in the audience.

Ya ya!! I know what your argument might be - 'the concept and idea belonged to someone else(writer/director)'.. but what about him doing justice to the screeplay?? as if the inceptors thought about him in the lead role while chalking it out on pen-paper. And mind you friends it wasnt your mindless comedy we see on TV day in and day out. It was a satire with a subject matter that I am sure cajoled people to ruminate.

There is fun and then there is good, clean fun. Some incidents,happenings and events just tend to leave a lasting impression, this being one such.

jiyo PareshJi! keep us entertained always!

End of an Era!!

said my relative.. I call him Dada.. he is my cousin sis's hubby.. last weekend he cremated his Dad who succumbed to strokes during a dialysis session.. and this is what he said.. End of an era!!
I was touched when he said that .. yet it is the truth.. you live your whole life thinking and knowing what you believe is true or right .. your lifestyle, your family, your friends, your profession, your colleagues, your neighbors.. your grocer, everything around you pretty much, know you for what you are and then one fine day, u r 'no more'.. maybe u wont have anyone to carry forward your legacy.. oftentimes its a weird feeling that 'one instance when u go from living to dead'.. that instantaneous turn of events.. even saying it makes it something heavy-weight that every single one of us need to bear.. which brings me to the saying - 'life is all about living'.. its impossible to turn back time hence all we can do is move forward.. am sure each one of us do that finally, with everything said and done..
