Ma is currently attending Saurabh Bothra's online yoga session in the 604 Hall where I am sprawled on the carpet.
I just got back from a half an hour-long walk. I stepped on to the beach for a bit. The tide was high and the waves were torrential. The grey expanse of the Arabian Sea hides so many wonders. I wonder how many species of birds are spotted in Mumbai and where the tidepools are on the beach. Nature will never cease to amaze me. I love greenery. I love birds. I love animals.
On my route were about a dozen roosters who were doodling and cockadoodledooing.
In the morning I woke up around 5.57 am. I slept rather late yesterday as sleep was not forthcoming. I kept tossing and turning till I actually fell asleep around 11 pm. I had an unbroken sleep.
I woke up, had my lemon juice and chanted and meditated. I then headed out for a long walk. I then went to the Jain Temple. There were so many multitudes of crows flitting about!
I came home and had a mango and a banana. I headed to the carpet for a half an hour-long yoga session. I bathed and wore my blue tie and dye top and denims. I read the News for about one hour.
Then I set about shortlisting a list of places where I have interviews. From tomorrow I'll be on the road. I must apply adequate sunscreen and carry water.
Through the day Ma irritated me with her raucousness, her anger, the way she ate her lunch. My mind went to See Dhi and her negativity. I realised that I am too biased and I must let people be. I can't fight the irritation I feel but I can definitely accept people for who they are. Earning money is not the only thing in life even though it's a huge part of life. Life must be lived holistically. A good life is a well-balanced life.
I ate dal, fish kofta and aloo potol for lunch.
Then I settled with Daisaku Ikeda, Strunck and Helen Keller. I chanted and here I am after a long walk.
The weather is hot and humid. I feel so drenched and sweaty.
I've been watching Single Papa on Netflix. It's a simple sweet story-- a one time watch. I think Ma could be depressed. She seems to just be on her phone all day. I love her.
The mind is a marvel and must be mastered. Conquer it I will! You can't always trust your thoughts, especially when they run amuck.
I am feeling:
Full of love
Sticky
Happy
Have a mild heavy head from the heat.
I've been keeping myself hydrated.
I am grateful for God's infinite love, Grace and blessings on my life.
I am grateful for loving relationships.
I am grateful for food, shelter, work and money.
I am grateful for books.
I am grateful for my brother who I adore. I wish him well from the core of my being.
Love,
Me.
