let the mind travel too when you travel...as most end up having a traveled body with an untraveled mind!...do the undone, see the unseen, feel the unfelt, smell the unsmelt and forget the forgettable...

Meditation is a journey within. Wonder how does it help when performed in a crowd. Can there ever be a meditation fair where all can put up stalls? Or is it all about saying that 'hey, I can do it alone and with some thousand others too'? What a funny feat! 'Cos when you are within, you become your sole company and that's what meditation essentially aims at - aligning 'you' with yourself.


Can we think of a world without excesses...emotional, material or physical? Is Beauty not a creation of physical excess, is Art not a fallout of creative excess, is love not the prettiest manifestation of emotional excess? People desire a taut frame and magazines abound with tricks on shedding that flab. Centres are erected to prune curves. What a pity! Doesn't it render the world flat, flabless, unvarying, dull? Conceive of a world where people only execute and don't dream - as dreaming is a luxury, excessive, prohibitive pattern.


I repeat...love the riddle, not the answer.
