I was about seventeen. It was a family wedding and I was incharge of the gifts. Amidst the months of planning, weeks of scheduling, days of preparing and tons of instructions, we still managed to have a lot of fun and family time! But it was exhausting too. It was around 1 pm. The main...
Intellectually we understand that every thing is a pair of opposites - life and death, inside and outside, matter and anti-matter, hot and cold, pain and pleasure. Religion screams -learn to treat both the opposites with the same equanimity. Wise men explain how you cannot have one without the other. Yet human we remain eternally...
We have just begun a new phase - expanding in big ways, spreading our wings across the globe. As we stepped forward paving the way for exponential growth and service, sharing our joy with family and friends, I received a message from my uncle. ‘Today is a very special day - one that happens only...

Such dedicated and disciplined efforts are apparent in the organising of the function by my dear friends Sushama, Ranga & Raman! With loved ones all around, the time dawns and the book is unveiled. The first words of Swami...
I was in two minds. One said I had betrayed my parents’ faith. The other said I simply don’t care. I was nine years old, attending the fifth grade in school. I stood beside my father as he looked through my report card. I hated the very idea. Why would any one give a ‘report’...
I am a perfectionist. I like things done a specific way and am not too enamoured if it is left half undone. It bothers me - I mean - it really bothers me when I see slipshod work or total disregard for one’s work. It is a physical phenomenon - my heart beat raises,...
I could see her grazing peacefully. She had come away from her group, not too far away but enough for me to handle separately. I moved – just an inch. She could smell me I guess. Her ears popped up alert and ready to flee. It was now or never. In one leap I covered...
She stood right in front of me. We had lost the order. As I looked at the paper work it was apparent that it was not a good job. A major specification had been overlooked. Even before I could find the words she stoically said - ‘The team has goofed up. They should have told...
