THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOU WARM WISHES….. There is need, there is exhaustion, eyes are heavy with sleep yet there is no desire to go to bed rather you would just want to waste time and hang around without any reason; a perfect example of self-torture. Being sane and an adult why do I need to behave in such a ridiculous way I cannot understand. But then there are our idiotic moments where we bully our common sense and inner voice and follow arduously whatever our thinking mind tells us. Yesterday has been so busy and fun; besides this was first my birthday which I truly enjoyed, of course it was nothing glamorous but a simple and quite dinner with family. Nevertheless, the peace and enthusiasm within me extended beyond all limits. And I cannot thank God enough for all that He has blessed me with...THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!   I have just read an incredible passage/ interview of my favourite writer Eckhart Tolle so I would like to share it with all you. “ Eckhart on Unem...

Life takes such unexpected twist and turn, you expect one thing and something completely different falls in your lap. Although these changes appears unwarranted on the first look however as and when the time moves on one begin to realize that whatever happened is perfect and nothing else is relevant. We look for answers to some of our most dreaded questions in all the places which one could comprehend  not knowing that all the replies to all that is lie within or so very near us. I too have been searching for some answers, for some clarity, and today out of blue where I least expected my answers started to come through; nevertheless, a little more time is needed to clear all the fog. Robot starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajnikant has been released and it’s been declared a phenomenal hit with record breaking business. For every film which does well or very well at the box-office is always proclaimed by the media or marketing pundits to have broken all the previous recor...

Multitasking could never be a wise option though at times it seems like the only feasible option. So I begin writing this post with ten other things in my mind to complete along. Then the fear of compromising on the quality as well as missing out on few of the tasks becomes a major concern. I have seen few individuals who possess the talent of multi-tasking they say their mind could work on two things simultaneously however they never told me about the quality of the outcome of such works. Finally I have had it! I am nervous anxious of the multi chores so I take 2-3 deep breaths, organize myself, I attend to that which is most important and then follow all of it gradually. I sincerely hope to get somewhere with this new approach. For this reason this post takes precedence of everything else as it is not merely a forum of self expression but a commitment, a discipline and so it shall be attended on the primary basis. Following this would be my preparation for the test which shall com...

I apprehend that I might have somehow gave an impression of being very busy lately as I am most of the time inactive on facebook and lazy with other modes of communication but the truth of the matter is that I try my best to keep myself active. Busy as well as being creative and productive with our time I think is a sheer blessing, therefore my day routine is almost moving from one quarter of an hour to another with many chores and at the end of it all when I sit in front of this 14’’ screen and put my heart out to all of you is the most wonderful climax I could imagine to my day. Although I was also busy in the past; nevertheless, it was only to meet my own requirements and lift the burden of regular life. Life could become a miracle with magnificent outcomes when you surrender it to the Higher Power and let Him navigate every moment, hour and day. This is what happens to me when I am tired, I speak of things which have significance for me only and I overlook the fact ...

I miss reading my books, there are couple of them which are lying in my room waiting for me to pick them up, to smell the fragrance of pages, to cherish them with my eyes and allow them to enrich my senses. But the paucity of time or my inability to mange it properly is the main hindrance and whenever I would get some free time I just become a couch potato. Concentration is such a fragile entity that if not handled carefully it could vanish into thin air. So is the case with me tonight, there are couple of things on my mind and I am becoming impatient to connect and resolve them. However, there are some delicate matters which are better handled if you do absolutely nothing to resolve them- just wait patiently and watch everything to fall into its place. Patience is very much a crucial ingredient in the recipe of life as it also another side of faith. Faith on an Unseen Power or Energy; faith on the instinctive feeling and the resolute faith that the wish shall be fulfilled. Although ...

Appreciation especially when come from a close quarter is beyond any well-celebrated achievement award. Acknowledgment of our efforts and the sincerity with which they are conducted would always keep one in high spirits. Its once again midnight and I am as usual pass my due bedtime, I don’t understand that the more I struggle to get things done within my schedule the more they go out of hands. I need to give a serious thought to all this and be absolute about them but dearest ones if I continue anymore in this drowsy state which I am in, I fear that I might fall asleep on the keyboard because now the words in front of me are becoming blurred. Its only your presence and love which invoke in me this commitment. So be there always. My love & a very Good Night. Sonya. (Day 131)

Is it only with me or the rest of you could also sense the ephemerality of days. It was Monday only yesterday and then there is another one and Fridays arriving within two days. Beside an hour which I dedicatedly spend on watching my favourite TV shows most of the day I keep on running from one point to another.   However, these days I have the contentment that the time I spend is worth every moment where I am either learning something new or being effective and worthwhile for others. Being of any service to others is such a phenomenal experience and the fact that there is no monetary gain involved does not effect the quality of the work. I for one has worked relentlessly for many years as a lawyer, had power, worked with some of the Bigs of legal as well as the business world and earned few bucks as well but honestly none of those above things gave me any peace. I use to be exhausted, bitter, short-tempered and always on guard with most of the people I met.   And now when the...
