Relaxing n Refreshing!

We spent the weekend in the most relaxing n refreshing way. Had been on a one-day trip to Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary and Mysore. We set off early in the morning...It was quite foggy, but pleasant. It was such a great feeling to watch the sunrise! - a perfect break from the monotonous life. After satiating our tummies with a sumptuous breakfast on the way, we set off towards Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary.After an hour n a half's drive, we reached the sanctuary. It's a small island on the banks of river Kaveri and is rich in flora and fauna. A place where all bird lovers would love to be. The sanctuary is a nesting and breeding center for all kinds of birds. The sanctuary owes its existence to the world famous ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali who convinced the Maharaja of Mysore in 1940 to declare it as a protected area. We began walking alongside the huge n tall trees, bamboo groves and chirping sounds of brids, wishing that we could treat our eyes, watching ...

Maha Shivratri

Shivaratri is the day of Lord Shiva. Shiva is the lord of meditation and therefore the lord of awakening. Shiva Tatva means to be awakened. Shivratri is thus an occasion to awaken one’s self from all sorts of slumber. Shivaratri is not a night to be slept over. One should try and be up through the night. It signifies being aware of everything you have and being grateful about it. Be grateful for the happiness which leads to growth, and also for sadness which gives a depth to life. This is the right way of observing Shivaratri. For the pious, the following method of Shiva worship is advisable – sit down in lotus posture, do some Pranayam to stabilize your breath, then indulge in Dhyana, followed by chanting of ‘Om Namah Shivaya’. It is the greatest mantra and the devout should drown himself in its Kirtan. Shivaratri worship leads to fulfillment of a devotee’s wishes. There are certain days and time frames in a year that enhance one’s mental and spiritual faculties. In such tim...

Mumbai and Poona have seen a sudden increase in teen suicides. As the two cities struggle with the tragedies, Art of Living has swung into action by launching a helpline in association with Just Dial. Only, we called it the HopeLine. It’s for anyone who needs to talk, but doesn’t have any one they can talk to about anything they wish to. Please spread the word and let many people know about this. You may just save a life!!

Simple n Yummy!

Hi all, I was in a cooking mood today. My parents were not at home and I had all the time to experiment. I thought it would be a surprise for them as well, particularly my mother (who thinks I can never cook!) Just tried out her recipe of making dal. It's the easiest and healthiest food I can think of. You just need some yellow dal, coriander/curry leaves, tomatoes, chilli(optional). Pressure cook the dal with some turmeric powder. While that's cooking, cut the tomatoes into small pieces and heat two spoons of oil in a kadai Temper it with few mustard seeds and some asafoetida. Add in green Chillies and chopped tomato too. Now, add in the cooked dal. Add salt as per taste. Mix it thoroughly. Cook for about 3-4 minutes and turn off the heat. You can serve the hot, steaming dal with rice and lil ghee. Total cooking time : 30 minutes Vanishes within 10 minutes!...trust me~~ Jai Gurudev! Love, Shruthi

Merry Christmas n A Happy New Year!!
