Creative pursuits!

        You only live once. That is provided you live and not just exists. I do what I like and here are my creative pursuits : - 1 hour of mindful breathing exercise to keep my concentration going and enhancing my creativity - blog when I am so motivated about the topic that I love - paint the flower pots, diyas, coconut shells as it soothes my nerves - listen to Om chanting at 432 hz...it calms me down. Other alternatives are bhajans of Sai baba, Hanuman, Shiva and Laxmi - plant a sapling (or gardening) when I like to do - walking or climbing stairs to pump me up. Believe me the cardio I do by climbing the stairs for 21 times is sufficient to put to on track for the day - crime thriller movies give me the chill in my spine especially korean ones - learning something new to keep myself younger Wish I could add more. Ah..not to forget the table tennis or pool that I love to play occasionally.

Shhh....power of silence!!

       'Om', probably the only word in the spiritual world that does not have a religion tagged to it. Some may argue that it is part of the Hindu custom, but I beg to differ. It might have originated from Hinduism but a sound that does not have a religion or caste attached to it. Well that is my view.        I recently got a message in whats app from my friend and believe me, I have not seen such a wonderful message till date. Here it is:      ~ In spite of so much to eat - Fasting is considered healthy      ~ In spite of so much to travel & explore - Meditating is considered superior      ~ In spite of so much to see - Closing your eyes and looking within is considered eternal      ~ In spite of so many voices, words & sounds - Silence is considered ultimate  and the list goes on.  A simple message and yet so powerful it is. All the answers lies within ourselves...

Education Costs...

     If you have read my previous blogs, I talk about getting bored too often which eventually leads to fulfilling some craving in me. Today I felt the same and started doing research on what should I do next academically, now that I have an executive post graduate diploma in management or EPGDM in short.      Geographically now that I am in Hyderabad, I thought of looking for the prestigious ISB (Indian School of Business). A PGP-Pro for working professionals costs around 25 lakhs in INR and imagine this - my experience in terms of years has overshooted the minimum eligibility criteria and had to look for next best option - PGP-Max. A program for executives in ISB, PGP-Max, would not cost less than 35 lakh in INR. Thats a wow!!! Hmmm...interesting to know that knowledge is weighted with your experience level.    On the other side, I see so many school, college drop outs who are super successful in life. Take for example Sachin Tendulkar, Bill ...
