My first YES! + Advance Course

Jai Gurudev!!!
after doing Utsav Act I with Bawa and Dinesh da.. i very strongly wnted to go for the advance course in ban galore Ashram..... bt i alwasy felt it will be really difficult to comvince dad and mom to let me go.... my sis Kirti made this thing easier for me.. she tried every possible way and finally with Guruji's grace dad agreed to send me. I registered myself the very next day.... was soo enthralled that i could feel hundred of flowers blossoming inside me...
finally the day came.. and i was there in front of the ashram gate... i could sense my heart pounding a ten times than it usually does... it all was soo unbelievable that i am at the place where i wanted to be since how long.....


the next morning we got up did kriya in the beautiful VISHALAKSHI MANDAP it was soo serene in it.. how many people must have meditated in it .. how many courses have been conducted here and to top it all Guruji's here...





All along the way i had heard about kitchen in ashram bt i could finally see it today... it was a huge dinning hall even after so many people finished with breakfast it looked as if it was just open ... i saw many Ashramites cleaning the utensils... Sundar Anna the Annadaata here requested us to do Seva in kitchen and as we were new to the place all 40 participants of us decided to help in kitchen.. the Veggies .... my God soo fresh i could believe the size of carrots and bottle guard, beans...(couldn't take a pic or else...)
finishing cutting veggies for lunch we decided to take a tour of Ashram.. without going much into technicalities ... ashram is spread on beautiful landscape of 150 acres full of greenary and beautiful scenic ...
from Kashyapa to Sumeru Mandap all seemed soo blissful .. we also could see Guruji's Previous Kutir (shakti Kutir) wow.. we even saw Bawa and Dinesh da's Kutir(Vishwamitra Kutir)

by this it was 1 and it was Lunchtime... in my whole life time i had never had my food without masala and onions.. but here no masala no onions even then the food tasted soo Divine (as Bawa states it rightly) enjoyed the divine and soo soo tasty food ... we decided to venture out the Divine shop that is a store for cassettes Cd's and books and knowledge books by Guruji.

By this time it was time to go to the River Side.. tats a place please don't miss if u go to ashram.... along side of Radha Kunj.. its a garden designed in a peculiar fashion with roses, flowers and fountains and artificial water falls.. that a treat for eyes...

then came dinner (divine as the lunch with a Payasam)followed by Satsang.. which is another energiser in AOL Courses..


Day 1 went on blissfully it was time to sleep as the next day we had to gget up at 4.00am .. the excitement level was still more high as the main course was yet to begin and i was eagerly waiting for it....
about the course experiance will tell in next post... :)

Bachchpan Ke Din..

Like many others even i have had a totally fun filled and awesome childhood...like many i have had my routines too... lying to mom to not go to school,pretending as if u r ill when you have not done your homework, running away from mom when she got you milk , stealing mangoes from trees from neighboring building....

Everyone has his/her own story to narrate.. we may have many many things but certain few stay forever in our minds and hearts...
so i put up my part here..

.. making greetings for your dad's birthday and keeping it in the place where he will look first when he is awake...

.. coming from school and so happily narrating the whole day's happening to mom..

.. when we used to used Camlin flora pencils and the Natraj sharpeners and Smiley erasers

.. saving money to gift your mom with a nice perfume or dad with a pen..

.. fighting with brother just because he took your pencil and lost it somewhere..

.. waiting for clock to strike 4 o clock so that you can escape from doing loads of homework. and go to play till its late night..

.. game for us used to be hide and seek , river and mountain, running race, colour colour which do u want, fire and the mountain RUN RUN RUN!!, blind man's buff etc..

.. TV was meant for Chayageet on Sundays night 9pm and Mougli at 12 pm on Saturdays.

.. lying on the terrace and gazing at the uncountable stars..

.. stealing biscuits from kitchen to feed the puppy in the building..

.. colouring and painting was like a ritual daily..

..tables were like nightmare two ones are two... two two's are four..

..outing on weekends was visit to temple and a dinner outside at a small Udupi hotel.. followed by an vanilla cup ice-cream..
.. used to beg mom to give 5o paise to get Jumbo chewing gum..

..bribe to do the homework was a visit to garden in the locality..

.. playing Kitchen Set was the only worth thing we did in the vacations

..when we never wore flashy clothes .. the only dress was frocks which i wore with Love in Tokyo tucked to my hair (even i dunno why did they call it so)..

.....when we laughed at silly things.. we fought because your friend didn't let u play the game.. and tat anger was for fraction of seconds..
when we enjoyed every bit of life may what come.. we laughed, we cried we shared , we cared..

the Song in Taare Zaamen Par rightly says: "Bachachapan ke Din Chaar , Na Ayenge Baar Baar, Jeele Jeele Mere yaar, Jeeb Khali toh Udhar.. :) :)

You make your Day!!

this thought came across my mind.. when i was disturbed by some issues....

we fill our minds with so much negativity and doubt tat every morning we begin the day with something negative or doubt .. so when the day goes bad we blame on the person whom we saw first in the morning.. the breakfast what you had , u didn't like it...... you missed your train by few seconds.... your boss was there in the office angrily looking for you... the list of mishaps goes on...
recently saw the advertisement of Moov pain balm..(importance of Ek Minute) lovely concept .. just because what you wanted didn't happen you blame it on every one and every thing...

what to do in such situation.. as we face this almost everyday... in my hostel almost every other day some people have to face this situation... then their whole day goes in cribbing or playing the balblame game.....

we love to have nice food....to energize our body .. we breathe to keep ourselves going on.. have you ever checked keeping you hands below your nostrils to clarify whether you are breathing.....NO!! tat thing keeps on happening you need not worry .. so you feed your heart with oxygen... we take SO much efforts to look good.. etc etc etc...
what do we do for our mind... we fill in with all then things that people have told us about someone.. about ourselves, about any damn topic that is of no relevance to you.....
when we know tat its of no use we still keep holding on to it.....it just strike my mind... we never keep the garbage in our house , we throw it away... so why do we keep holding what people have told ......by holding on it you who is getting affected not anyone else... you make your day ...!!

you are master of your day.. no one else has any thing to do with what you want? how you look ? or for that matter how you should look?



So Friends make your day the best day of your life...
we live a life for a short time.. so live life to its fullest..
this reminds of one quote that i had read some where..
it goes like this...
Live life as if its your last day.

Dance as if no one is watching you.

Work as if you don't need Money.

Love as if you don't care of Heart break.

and then see how much lovely your life turns to be.... :) :)
fill your life with all fun loving people as well have time to fill lives of others with fun and love..

every one tells Make Your Smile a Million Dollar$$...


Ahh this i will tell in next post ,.... how to go about the Million dollar concept $$...

Trip to Matheran !!

After taking break for one year i got admission in Aicar Business School, Matheran. when i say tat i am at Matheran people say "we go for picnic there and you are going to study and have fun filed two years" . The idea of joining the college, the hostel life, new set of friends kept me excited me for one whole month.

Finally on 1st July we were officially introduced to the college management, the Trustees,the Faculties and so the Induction programme commenced...there was a Tree Plantation Programme. The concept being that we were told before plating tree was that - you have to nurture you tree as you take care of your self. The concept touched me .... How different can people think ....

The place around was superb.. As far you can see , you will see only greenery and beautiful Hills of Matheran....after staying in crowded Mumbai and suddenly you are here where u cant see any tall buildings , no nice of honking vehicles, not traffic, the most importantly Nature favors you... what else can you want to be at a place and study, the perfect place for everything...

Well days went by and we were anxiously waiting for the Trek to Matheran that was part of our first Learning By Doing(LBD) concept... So on 5th July we were ready at 7.00am. Everyone was soo thrilled that even the tasteless Breakfast didn't bother anyone.. we got in the cab that was waiting for us in the campus... just before getting in the cab i took a look at the mountains which is directly visbile from our campus.. what a perfect weather it was drizzling rains, wet roads and again the lush greenery all all around.. we got to Dahasturi Naka the place where the cab left us... everyone was totally enjoying the beauty of nature as well as the fun of being on a trek on this rainy day..

it was just 8.00 and the groups in which we were split for some activity had started walking ahead.... My group was the last to move.. so we began with our favorite past time "Photo Session"

we had to reach Matheran Station in half an hour... by 10 we were there.... another photo session and we got instructions from our faculties to go to the Echo Point which was another 1hr walk from the place we were....
so in groups we starting walking towards Echo point

on the way we saw the most beautiful scenery, it was raining by now ... we were all wet but were still enjoying it throughly....




Echo point was an excotic, fantastic one.. I really fall short of words to describe the beauty that i saw there....
i was fully covered with fog. the uncountable big and samll water falls.. the mountains covered with dew dripped grass... oh! man what a place......
as it was echo pint everyone tried to echo their voices.. bt all in vain as the valley was covered with fog and to top it all it was raining... but it was a spledid thing to be...

From there we had another point to go called The Luisa Point..
walking walking here we come.. sometimes stumbling upon rocks sometimes escaping the horse that pass by... at a point there we saw a small stream .. at that point ity stricked me to do something dreative.. we stepped in the stream with our left foot in the circular form.. and there went the pic BRANDED FOOTSTEPS i call it.


we walked and walked for another hour to reach th4 most beautiful place i have ever witnessed.
the whole valley could be seen .. it was then i realised that we were just opposite to the echo point .. we had travlled a semicircular path.... from here on one side was the thane Region which was hardly visible on the other side was the Waterfalls (couldnt count how many they were).


after nicely and peacefully sinking the beauty of environment we played a game called the Famous Tug Of War.

after that all of us came back to the point we had started from to do buy some Chikkis whch is quite famous there and then the Lunch was served.. hot hot Chapattis with Paneer Tikka and yummy Kheer... oh how Tasty lunch.....

we returned to the taxi stand by walking down through the railway line ( it is closed during the rains no trains pass ) and then totally filled with the thrill, we headed back to college...... :) :) :)

i would suggest that every one atleast once should come to this heaven on earth... for adventure as well as total Dhamaal...
