Life Of A Single Girl In A Big Metro!

Life of a single girl in a big metro. Two sides of it. The unreal and the real. So lets begin!
She got up early in the morning and went about doing her morning ablutions, then completed the chores for the day,  packed the meals, went to office, went about performing every task there with perfection, came back from work, did everything that the day demanded, duties that needed to be done were performed with élan, wound up all jobs at home, relaxed for a while, read a few things, answered her mails, did all the prayers during the various parts of the day, returned all calls, then got ready for bed! Before the last act of the day she took few moments to thank her life for every beautiful moments and wishing herself a very happy birthday, turned out the lights to go to sleep!
Haha! Utopian dream stuff! Lets get real now! 
Sounds very tough to do that above or does it sound easy? 
Life is never lead by us so simply. We all crave for more and more. What exactly did you expect from life? Excitement or depressive moments? 
To perform mundane tasks simply is the toughest thing in the world. 
Now let us add some more tasks to all the above that and see how tough it gets. There is no maid so far. If we add the maid then the tasks grow more. The maids timings and her tantrums to attend to. Yes, her going awol also. The washing machine conks off and our heroine goes about with the screwdrivers and tools, the fan starts making rickety sounds and again the clanking happens. The gas runs out and get the gas to be refilled. The taps start leaking and getting hold of the plumber is a nightmare. The electrical fuses keep on going off and then the working of the electrician is the big pain. He has his own terms and conditions for coming home. 
Do you know how tough is to get these technicians to come home to do that little tiny job? And to top it all they show their arrogance. Then they have to be paid what they demand. They all have their fancy price when it comes to servicing a single woman's household issues. 
Shift your attention to outside home. Getting legal papers in place, government jobs like house papers or annual accounts filing, income tax and professional taxes to be paid, driving licenses renewals, bank work, etc.. These almost occupy an entire days job. To ask for leave is the biggest issue in office. The boss never thinks how a single woman can attend to all these tasks. He has his cohorts and lackeys who take charge of his issues. He has no idea what you go through! 
Now I will not be happy talking about my relationships. That's a long story. Let me keep it for another time. 
My Bacardi is keeping me company now. Happy birthday girl. Take care. Cheers!

I Don't Like What You Do!

I was very surprised to see this comment in my inbox yesterday and it was written by one of my dearest friends. He said that he did not like what I do! In spiritual! So why did I join the spiritual bandwagon and what is it that makes me write such stuff on this topic? He truly seemed flabbergasted and wanted to know the whys and the wherefores of it! Spiritual does not happen to a person the way you may get married or pass your school or college. It is mentioned in the holy texts that urge and desire to know God or Self comes about very rarely. Every individual knows about God from his own parents or relatives or friends. His knowledge is as trivial as theirs. None of these are qualified to talk about God. Since no one has seen or experienced Him, how can anyone talk about Him? The knowledge that they profess to have is as trivial as their forefathers since neither of them have experienced Him ever. The knowledge of Self or the longing for liberation happens to someone by the

Success & Failure

Yesterday one of my disciples came and asked me to say some words for her future. She was celebrating her 20th birthday. Though I speak on spiritual I told her that I will talk about her career and other such opportunities. I asked her what she would like to do after she completes her studies and the answer was-I don't know! I told her that it is useless playing football without the goal posts and opponents, so she better have a goal in life. The next was whom would she like to emulate in material worldly success and the immediate answer was Mark Zukerberg, Bill Gates, Mittal and the like! They are highly successful people in this world. Then I asked her whom she would not like to emulate or whom does she consider the most unsuccessful person in life? That was difficult to say. I prodded her! Unable to pin point anyone, I told her the people I would not like to emulate or copy are my parents! That shocked her completely and immediately the heckles stood up. But frankly look a

These are symbols put up atop houses and are called Torito de Pucara. Two bulls, a Cross, A cock, Jugs, flowers, bottle of wine, etc. These are symbols of fertility, prosperity and wealth.
