This meditative Buddha doesn't just seem a statue to me. To me, it seems to be such a living form sending so much positive vibes. Whenever you see it, you get such a tranquil, calm feeling and the gentle smile on its face makes me instantly happy. Today many office reception desks have them and you also find them in many shopping stores selling many forms of these Buddha statues. I go crazy over them that whenever I happen to see them I don't hesitate a moment to grab a look. I wish to get one of them in my home also. I just love golden bronze and marble white Buddha's!
Months of domesticity has cramped up my mind and body. So I thought this is the time to indulge in physical activity of some kind. The easiest thing to do is brisk walking but the lazy me prevented me from waking up early in the morning. The other things that came to my mind are yoga and swimming which I’ve yearned to do for years. Either I did not find the time or did not find the proper place to learn them.
Now, atlast I’ve discovered yoga through ‘Breathe’, the yoga and pilates center in Melbourne. Atlast it has given me the space to breathe. You are more attuned to your body by learning yoga and pilates. You stretch and flex your body and burn out. At the end of it I feel light and full of energy. Happy that I am learning them now and want to discover about it more.

Getting into a relationship and furthermore leading/ sustaining a meaningful life together involves a life of sharing, caring and eternal love. You’ll have so much to gain and much to lose. There is no magic formula for having an ideal life together.
- Don’t impose rules upon each other, only on yourselves. Give each other enough room and freedom to be what they are.
- LOVE FOR WHAT S/HE REALLY IS...don’t impose too much of your ideals on him – enjoy/ accept looking past his/ her faults without experiencing/ expressing let-down.
- In the marriages of yesteryears, girls especially were bound by rules and traditions eventually dumping themselves in too much of domesticity and ignoring what they are worth for. Dont let rules and traditions overrule you. Times have changed.
- Communicate your dreams and ideas to each other. Give enough room for self expression.
- Avoid allusions and criticisms. That could turn to be much irritating and frustrating.
- But remember, don’t just gloss over problems to keep peace, which is not a good idea in the long run. Certain amount of interference over the other is needed. Genuine faults and mistakes of the other should be communicated in the right way.
- However deeply you love a person, remember the fact that you and your partner are two different individuals. You as an individual have own set of likes, dislikes and priorities. Especially girls tend to be too accommodating and compromising after marriage. To be compromising or not is one’s own decision, but always remember to take time out for yourself.
- Humour lightens up the hardships and seriousness around. Be funny for each other! Have fun.
- Bring intimacy between you to let the magic of your relationship going, Read these few lines somewhere and found them interesting.
(Romantic love is the love that brings two people together into a relationship and intimate love is the love that sustains a relationship. Romantic love is intense and capable of generating ecstasy as well as agony. Intimate love is more gentle and flowing. Romantic love is about passion. Intimate love is about nurturing.
Both are desirable in a marriage, but not together. Romantic love starts off a marriage and lasts from a few months to a few years. Intimate love stays with you for the rest of the marriage.)

Three years since 2008 and three new cities lived – Seoul, Mumbai, Chennai…
…and now moved to Melbourne !!
Different cities, different culture, different people, different encounters…each city brought out something new in me and made me grow more as a person.
Fresh out of college, moving to Seoul was an enriching experience. This city opened my eyes to the world. Though it was a much unknown place, the friendly and courteous people made me feel at home. It was a short and awesome stay there. Many a times now, I have yearned to travel back to this city atleast once and relive those memories.
It was then to Mumbai, the cosmopolitan Indian city, with the hustle and bustle all around all time. This buoyant city with its upbeat people always keeps you on your toes. I experienced both khatta-meetha facets of my life in this city.
And it was then to Namma Chennai. It felt good being back to my own place with dear ones nearby. And the wonderful work in the new company made me upbeat. But, God! The scorching heat here made me go slain. However, this is the city which gave me everlasting sweet memories hanging around with my special loved one and my family.
And now packed bags and moved to Melbourne! A truly cosmopolitan city it is. The nature in this country is out of the world and these people are known for their hedonistic lifestyle. All these touches you in a good way. Exploring this city is fun and I wish to discover more about me through this city.
