I woke up tired this morning. My muscles were sore with the Yoga I did in last two days. This is normal when there is a change in the routine which I recently had. My body was telling me to switch the alarm off and sleep again. I did exactly as I was told. So, after work … More The sounds I hear..
A friend of mine is getting married and I have been accompanying her for many things related to planning and like wise. One important thing on the list was fixing a salon for her.

7 PM All we wanted was a long walk in the lovely weather. The Sun had set and there was still time for dinner. Weekends are for long walks, heart to heart conversations and holding hands. With that thought in mind, I pulled out some money from my wallet assuming I had sufficient if we … More When it rained that night..
My Sunday was unique this time and I did something that I had always wanted to do – Yoga in Cubbon Park. Cubbon Park was created in 1870 in Bangalore, India and is spread over 300 acres boasting of many trees and beautifully maintained patches.
