My Secret 21 days Experiment: Day 1 and 2

-
I have always loved Osho just for his thought. How can a man think like that? Different for sure, yet so right, so insightful. Of all my recent decisions, a really cool one was to take a 21 day online course on meditation by Osho. Here is the scoop from day 1 and2:

  • Love the calming music
  • Love it that it is short and sweet
  • The first day exercise given to us was about awareness. It actually worked. I was aware of what I was eating and I stopped stuffing my body with food. I am aware of what I am typing and hence lesser typos. I can feel the texture of the keyboard
  • I have never heard Osho's voice. Honestly I imagined it stronger and bolder. The man in my head sounded so. I am getting used to his odd diction and pronunciation
  • The second day was about love and relationships
  • I loved the distinction between love and relationships
  • There is a human urge to cut down chances of change and hence the need to settle down
  • Fear of unknown compelling us to settle for the known
  • There are 2 exercises for today: Love onself, love your partner
  • I will surely try the first exercise. After so many unexpected turns in my life I think I need it. I need to re-learn to love the new me. Me as I am. All 165 cms and 65 Kgs of me!
Really excited about day 3! :)


P.S.: The course is free, do join in if you want to make your own journey.

Where shall I begin and where shall I end. I must  first thank Rajesh for suggesting this book. It was truly mind blowing. For those who have been in Vineeth Swaroop's class: "This book is like 132 page one on one discussion with VS himself about God and what not!" I have always been a fan of Scott Adams cartoon "Dilbert". This is Scott at his best. I do not know how to comment on this book for I feel belittled in front of it. I would suggest that all of you must read it. But it comes with a warning, do brush up on your knowledge in probability, astronomy, history and everything else. This book is no joy ride but take you into another state of consciousness. I am a person who is never felt short of words. There are two things that made me feel so this month: Questions by the one and only VS in accounts class and when i am currently trying to describe this book. One might wonder why on earth did I begin a book review when I am certainly out of words to descr...

Surya just stared at the display screen in Dubai airport.His flight was delayed by an hour.He mechanically stared at his Diesel watch.It showed 12 midnight.His flight inbound to Chennai was postponed from 1a.m. to 2a.m.Well he had nothing much to do other than to start reading his novel.He was a big fan of Robin Cook.Surya moved to gate 5 and found a calm place and sat down there with his book. He was just in his second page when he heard"Excuse me sir! are you going to Chennai?"Surya is by nature a nice person.But not at fist acquaintance you can't even get a smile form his lips till the third meeting.His physique contributed to that mystique feel.He was almost the perfect example for the phrase tall dark and handsome.He was not a beauty contest winner but in some way did have all the charms required to make any girl go gaga.Surya just nodded as a reply to the man who asked the question.Ramu was the man who asked it to him.He was a married man.He was around 35 years of a...

God a concept?

I have often pondered about my conversion for atheist to a fairly strong theist. I remember that not so long ago my thoughts on God had proclivity towards atheism. But there has slowly but surely a change. From a person who used to say "There is no God!" to a person who says "God is ubiquitous!" is quiet surprising when I think about it. I don't believe in idols in spite of being a Hindu. I believe in pantheism. It makes a lot of sense and brings order to all chaos in life. One might think why I am writing about my faith and point of view. It was just to project my stand before we seeing the bone of contention. Recently, my results for the previous semester had come. I had got 87.4%. It was not the best but good considering the frugal effort which went into it. A miracle in human terms if I were to be honest. When I informed my mark to my cousin I was graciously congratulated. I thanked him and attributed it to God. The response I got was that "G...
