My Life after I join the yoga classes


"Close your eyes… relax your mind and body.. now listen words of the Charles Swindoll.. " My yoga teacher was narrating us something after sets of assanas.

“ The longer we live the more we realize the impact of Attitude on life.
It has more important than education, than money, than circumstances, than failure, than success, than whatever anyone might think, say or do.

It is more important than appearances, gift ness or skill. It can make or break a company, home or relationship.

We can not change our past. We can not change the way people act. We can not change the inevitable.

The one thing we can change is the only thing we have control over, and that is our Attitude!!!

In the life 10% what acutely happens to us, and 90% how we react to it. “

I was at my daily Yoga Class and my yoga teacher Rekha aunt’s world were echoing into my mind. At that point my mind and soul were at the extreme level of peace. I was feeling peace within. Now a days I most of the time feel the same.

But my days were not same before 9 to 10 months ago. Living with 3 senior citizens and two kids is not easy for anybody in the world. I was also not exception!!! Recession has started to show off its colors in Indian economy that time. Our newly started business had also affected by the worst conditions of the world. Above all my PMS and Adenomyosis problem were killing me . Naturally my kids were the easily victim of the circumstances. But one day due to Almighty's miracle, i found my yoga teacher Rekha aunt.

I remembered very clearly our first meeting.. She took my hand into her hand and asked me lovingly..” Can you change people around you?? – I replied no I can not.. Can you change situation around you?? – I replied again no I can not.. She told me than change your attitude everything will be alright. I replied back to her it is not that easy teacher. She laughed.. no beta it is not easy but he ( almighty ) has decided this life for you and you have to accept his prasad gracefully. Don't fight with the situation .. simple sail with it.

Next day onward I started my yoga class. I have heard lots and lots about yoga and its benefits but not realized till I was into that. Within one month I was finding changes into myself. My Guru – Mrs. Rekha Bhandari was not only yoga teacher but she was/is friend, philosopher and guide for all her students.

Life in 10 months changes dramatically. No .. no .. not a single situation and surrounding have changed.. it might become worsen but its me who learnt to accept ,handle and ignore them.

Yoga classes at Rekha aunt’s place are never a burden of exercises. The one hour class is combination of aasans, pranayam –mediation, mind games and relaxing games. Its helps to search your capacities and capabilities.


Thank you aunt… I know thanks is too too small word for the same. Infect I would like to offer my pranam to all those yoga teachers who are changing life of so many people!!! We are aware of Baba Ramdev.. We know the work done by Shri shri Ravi shankarji, we know that there are so many yoga guru at Rishikesh but there are so many non famous/ hidden teachers in this country who are changing way of life of others. I salute all of them for their devotional work towards society.

Thanks again Rekha aunt … it is because of your motivation and inspiration I am able to create my own blog.

you are the chisel… you the sculptor.. and you the stone.. Life is what you make it!!” Rekha Aunt’s words have again started to echoing into the mind. I was gradually coming out of the trans effects of shava san. My daily yoga class was going to end soon.. but my day head was going to start brightly.

At last what I have learnt in these months..

God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change…

the courage to change the things I can….
And wisdom to know the difference

Mom I am Hungry...

Mom… I am hungry… My son shouted at me.. “Why you are not eating at time of lunch.” .. I replied back more angrily. Oh god.. I really wanted to have a time for me at least for 10 minutes but this boy will not and never allow me. Listen , you have to finish up your lunch dish first. It is strict order of daddy that you have to finish your lunch unless and until you will not get anything, He looked at me and than asked why the same vegetables .. same dal chawal and all that things mom … why not something else why not pani puri!!!.. I looked at his pity face .. Feel like laughing and crying both at the same time. Well do you know we have to think about our total vitamins and proteins intake.. blah .. blah . He was not listing to me and I was into mood and as per routine giving him lecture on what to eat and why to eat and that is how his immunity will build up and that will help to fight to the infections and will help to protect swine flu and what not..

From simple hungry ness to I reached to swine flu!!!!! God this swine flu is really making me sick.. My god my kids have to eat very healthy food to strengthen their immunity.. Now a days in my all discussion, in my all normal talking swine flu is coming… Yesterday when I went to vegetables market, I covered my face full with duppatta.. I looked at one old female who was sneezing with big scary eyes. With my normal Grocery things I have stored enough stock of sanitizer also. Like vegetables everyday I buy Tulsi leaves also to make kadha.. Everyday I open swine flu’s website. What is happening to me??

Mom I have finished up …He shouted again. Why can not he talk in normal tone?? Why they think that they can always shout to mother and mother will accept this as regular tone?? Oh I remembered my old days.. I used to work with the leading gujarati newspaper.. if I would have been still there I would have defiantly written article on how to prevent kids from swin flu.. dhat te ri ki.. again swine flu!!!!! But I can not afford to live in remembrance of past life.. it is going to be soon tea time.. I have to make juice for my son.. protein milk shake for my daughter.. I guess vegetable sandwiches for snacks and than I have to buy dettol hand wash.. these kids naa they are wasting it like anything.. I guess I will make cheese paratha for dinner.. You know protein intake should be more to build up your immunity and that will help to fight swine flu.

Oh god I have to make my daughter learn phonetic sound ig – words today.. big,,, mig… pig.. oh p i g - pig means swine..
