Alvida-Life in a Metro

-
Hi
Am listening to the song Alvida from the film, "Life in a Metro". Somehow it is a beautiful song. Different. Very different. Lots of guitar, sitar and I dont know what not.
Reminds me of this morning's motor cyclist who was crushed to death by a heavier vehicle in Delhi's one of the numerous flyover.
We saw his mutilated helmet and could guess what must have happened to his head.
He said Alvida... to all of us .... and painfully to his family...
Alvida , well thats life in a metro?

It is not that I did not want to be with her, but it just

Dear life, Why is it so difficult to trust oneself and be confident about ones on abilities.In my own case, I think I find it difficult to believe that I am good in anything. This is so far from truth . People come to me with so many questions about their issues . I am able to tell them exactly what has been their problem. But when it comes to myself , things look different. I ask myself “why?” Does this happen to you .? I guess we can solve most of the problems of the world However when it comes to our own issues , we get bogged down.. we don’t trust enough. It so happened that last month an exhuberent 30s something chap came to my office to see me . I was really hard pressed for time, as I had a flight to catch in the evening. However one of my dear friends had insisted that I meet him, and hence reluctantly I did meet him exactly for 30 minutes . He came to me with one question . He had got an offer from an organisation and whether he should join it. I took the marker a

Since the last 6 months I have been attending the Sivananda Yoga Institiute located in Dwarka. I am into this power yoga for about 90 minutes , 4 times a week and the resluts have been stupendous. I have lost some weight, my regular headache and allergies have gone due to jal-neties and feel very postive. Folks start your yoga sessions soon. Raju
