I randomly bumped into this Video where Priyanka meets Nalini at Vellore, Its an amazing how people can deal such emotional situations well and with fortitutude. Here is the link to the video http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=hH9ZXYZokGs&feature=related.
Priyanka canceled death sentence of Nalini who is accused to have killed her own father Rajiv Gandhi precisely to deal with the situation that Nalini's offspring should not grow up as orphan. I guess Its time for Egotists who brag about their generosity should contemplate now. Graduation in psychology probably helped.

Yoga Obsession
Its been few days that I got myself enrolled into Yoga after a long break of 2 years , Its an awesome experience to resume the asana's and I feel that my body has been really rigid with no yoga for ages. I know I have been really lazy :D that I can write a book on virtues of laziness, Only when I browse the pages of Angelina Jolie / Shilpa shetty I give up the idea of virtue of laziness and spring back into yoga ;-) . I am writing this blog not to prove that I am feeling like a champ resuming yoga but I have returned to my cherished activity.
Facts:
I heard that there are 84 lakh postures that means to say , I will never be able to master the art of yoga :) but definitely learn to maintain good state of health and well being. Also , all the postures mimic animals and their carefree lifestyle . Being in IT , I have not had any type of physical activities and the sedentary life style has warned me against getting tyres of fat in my belly .I also read that alligator can survive in marshy places flooding with germs but still stay fit and fine; Even if humans drink filter water, eat canned food but are afflicted with caugh and cold ? .So Yoga empathizes on our aping nature and animals in their natural habitat. I wonder why do people patent on yoga postures when they themselves have copied from animals :D . We would go broke if animals demanded royalty for serving as an inspiration to carry on postures :D. Something to cheer me up - Being a Mysorean , I have seen many forigners paying close to 25,000 INR to learn yoga whereas I pay just 200 bucks
My observation of beneficial things in yoga are:

My observation of beneficial things in yoga are:
- I should say that I am active or hyper active ever since I started on Yoga
- My appetite is restored.Constipation problem is kinda reduced.
- Back ache and headaches has alleviated
- I observe improvement in sleep patterns since the body undergoes tremendous physical activity , It is putting me to sleep naturally hence it cures depression as well because I end up sleeping more than letting my mind ramble :)
- Walking 2 miles makes me feel healthy and contemplate about the things that I did yesterday and plan for an active today
Some beautiful quotes
"I think all theories are suspect, that the finest principles may have to be modified, or may even be pulverized by the demands of life, and that one must find, therefore, one's own moral center and move through the world hoping that this center will guide one aright."
~ James Baldwin, Collected Essays
"It is better to be told a hurtful truth than to be told a comforting lie.... In the end, the truth will make its way out and will hurt much more than it ever had to....."
"If you hold on to the handle, she said, it's easier to maintain the illusion of control. But, it's more fun if you just let the wind carry you." ~Brian Andreas
The aim of the wise man was no longer the plaudits of the masses but autarkeia, or self-sufficiency.
~Peter France, Hermits: The Insights of Solitude
"In ones career, there will be times when stones are thrown at you. But it is a great and nice feeling, when you turn those in to milestones" -- Sachin
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Quotes from Angelina Jolie:
“If I make a fool of myself, who cares? I'm not frightened by anyone's perception of me.”
“Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.”
