When the whole world is trying to figure out ways to remain happy, I just figured out something too. That happiness does not have a definition. That happiness is a breeze and not permanent factor. That happiness has an antonym too. That happiness is an inherent thing that needs to be discovered. That happiness can never be measured.

Best is a superlative, which means it is a 'relativity' word and not the verdict of any authority. Partly why there are percentiles in scoring these days. There is no such thing as second best . If you say 'Do your best ' to a person with zero inclination on the task, consider your job undone. If Best is expected from you, expect and accept nothing less than the best compensation, appreciation, or encouragement, as may be applicable. " Best hearts are ever the bravest" is a hearsay; Are they talking about anatomically best or emotionally best or socially best ?  "The Best is yet to come" is probably the best quote that applies in most situations. Often, it helps to think if Best really means Be St eady. At all times ask for the strength to Be St eady.

அவனே இவனே என்று நினைக்காமல் சிவனே என்று உள்ளே போறவனையும் வெளியே வரவனையும் மட்டுமே கவனிக்கவும் நேற்று நடந்த யோகா வகுப்பில் நான் கற்ற மிக பெரிய பாடம் இது. நாம் அனைவரும் நாள்தோறும் பல வேலைகள்  செய்கிறோம், செய்யாமல் இருக்கோம்,நாம் செய்யாமல் இருக்கும் பல வேளைகளில் நிதானமாக மூச்சு விட பழகுவதும் ஒன்று. மூச்சு என்பது பாடல்களுக்கு சேர்கப்படும் ஸ்ருதியைபோல மிக முக்கியமானது. ஒரு பாடல் பாட தொடங்கும் முன்னதாக, செய்யபடுவது ஸ்ருதி சேர்த்தல் ஆகும். இந்த ஸ்ருதியை அடிப்படையாக வைத்து தான் பாடல் இயற்றபடுகிறது. ஒரே பாடலை பல ஸ்ருதிகளில் பாடினால் அது வேறு வேறு பாடல்களாக தோன்றும். அதே போன்று மூச்சை விதம் விதமாக உபயோகிக்கலாம். அதில் எல்லா விதமும் சரியாக இருப்பதில்லை. நாம் எல்லாரும் சரியாகதான் மூச்சு விடுகிறோம் என்று எண்ணினால் தவறாக விடுவது எப்படி என்று யோசிக்கத்தோன்றும்.அப்படி யோசித்ததில் தெரிய வந்தது தான் பிரணாயமம். ஒவ்வொரு நாளும்காலை எழுந்த உடன் நம் மூச்சாகிய ஸ்ருதியை சரியாக வாசித்தோம் என்றால் அன்றைய நாள் முழுவதும் மூச்சு சரியான ரீதியில்  இருக்கும். உடம்பின் இயக்கங்...

Good Food, Good Exercise, Good Meditation, and Good Life style converge in Good Health. Good Food is in simplest terms - Food that is not over-cooked, not over-greased, not over-spicy, and not old. Good Meditation means taking simple steps to improving focus of the otherwise usually scattered brain - Regular prayer routine, Regular Five minute hobby time, Regular stereo-typical work that doesn't require your mind's complete attention. When you do one of these or activity similar to these, your mind meditates on the work and not anything else and these activities are not done by force or do not have materialistic gains. Good Exercise is to just ensure you move every part of your body to activate the otherwise sleeping joints and muscles. You can choose to walk for twenty minutes or be a regular in a local gymnasium or dance class. Good Lifestyle  - Spend family time at home, Share work load at home, Have strict disciplines on prayer, morals, food, clothing and manners, ...

"What is your name ?" is probably the first question each of us has been asked when we started school. Quite an easy answer, I thought until I started filling up forms in life. School forms ask you to expand names with Initials. Passport Application form asks you to fill up Surname, First Name, Last Name. College Application forms ask for First, Middle and Last names. I happened to look at PAN card application form this evening. There is an illustration which shows the main name written in the Surname column. For example someone with A.K.Rainbow as the name will have issues filling up the name in any form in her life: In the school, the name will be A.K.Rainbow In college, it will be Always.K.Rainbow In Passport, it will be Rainbow.K Always In PAN Card, it will be Always K.Rainbow Now, with such a complication in the name, when this person has to go to the bank to open an account, they will have rules to say. Thirty years later, when there is a property tr...

In the context of health, we are hearing many things these days. In olden days people never seemed to need as many lessons on health like we do, because they were all naturally healthy. At least that is what I keep telling myself. As a general concept, man tends to talk about what he doesn't have and is never happy. Most of us are not really happy about our health and so we see umpteen resources online about health. Here is one simple way to good health I heard today: Wake up early in the morning, which is between 5:00 A.M and 7:00 A.M Have a filling breakfast between 7:00 A.M and 9:00 A.M Do not eat or drink anything between 9:00 A.M and 11:00 A.M which is the late morning time. Drink water, beverage, soups between 11:00 A.M and 1:00 P.M Have a moderate lunch between 1:00 P.M and 3:00 P.M. Do not sleep in the horizontal position, as in do not lie down comfortably on a bed. If your system is working fine, your eye lids will automatically close at 2:00 P.M. Recall a bori...

The word Mind may be a derivative of Mine. We hear quite a lot about Mind in everyday talks. Any place that promises health, peace, happiness preaches about Mind.If I get into research about Mind, am sure I'll find sea-deep or a mine of information related to the subject. I have always wondered how to express this 'thing' called Mind in a drawing when asked to, how to give the right analogy to my children when discussing or talking about the mind or how to really explain to someone what the word Mind in the phrase ' Mind your own business' really means. Yoga, Meditation, Spiritual lectures and even the latest medical researches talk about mind playing an integral part in one's health and life. There is another concept of tuning health through positive energy transfers called Reiki ( - Not sure if this is how the real explanation goes, but I like to keep it simple as I consider myself a total layman when it comes to the human body right from my Zoology day...
