Some Things ...

Life so far was series of struggles, done with much hesitations.

I'm not so confident, not humble either.

Passion pursues many things. Sometimes, it was fiction.... sometimes, psychoanalysis.... sometimes, simply dreaming... movies... mathematics... machine learning... algorithms... pornography... politics... culture... history... yoga... and so on.

Latest is vedanta.... The very weird logic that everything emanates from same thing that nobody ever claimed understood: Brahman. Stuff like ayam atma brahma, aham brahma asmi, sarvam khalu idam brahma, and so on. The thought that life requires some kind of control... some internal mindfulness... and so on....

To be honest, everything is stupid from a universal perspective. Yet, not everything is universal; no need to be so. Some things are mine and mine alone. No other sentient being [Haha, from Buddhist literature] can feel them, but me. That's the subjective aspect of life I'm talking about.

Meditation is an experience, an experience of depth, of silence, of calmness, of a feeling that the world is not what I see, of illusion beyond five senses and intellect. 

Yoga Asanas are another experience. The easiness or energy experienced around the spine after a good session of Asanas is something so nice.

May there be light!

If not, I'm not responsible. It may be some technical fault. Call some guy. Maybe, God.

My Son's First "Show and Tell"

It was on 26-Oct-2016.

Teacher said we (actually my wife) chose very tough lines for him, yet he managed to a good extent!

Below were the lines, adding here just for the record.

Good morning!
My name is Vijual Sandeep.
I am going to talk about elephant.
Elephant is a very big animal.
It lives in the forest.
It is also seen in the zoo.
It has fan-like ears, small eyes, long trunk, four large legs and short tail.
The male elephant has two tusks.
Elephants eat plants and banana.
It is a good friend of man.
Thank you!
