Weekend

I enjoyed this weekend too J. I was at my sister’s place and had fun with Ms. Molly and my nephew J. Though I kept getting calls from Chennai that too on odd hours but still, it was fun and I am happy I could handle work-life balance J.

I clicked a few photos too and I liked them. Since it was Karwa Chauth on Friday (see the back entry if want to know what is this weird tem lol), after a long, I got to see how my sister was looking in a sari, she looked sweet and gorgeous as usual lol.

It was a relaxing weekend and I didn’t do much, I just did washing and relaxed most of the time that was good.

Saturday night, she cooked chicken curry and I truly enjoyed it J.

My 6 year old nephew’s school is celebrating state day (letting kids know of different language, food, ethnic wear and culture etc) tomorrow so we went to get him the clothes for his given state, he got Meghalaya and honestly speaking, we didn’t know much of that far north-east state lol. Thank God, he is not wearing leaves and tiger’s skin haha.

We were just roaming around and I saw few jeans on special so I bought one for me as I had only one pair lol. I don’t get to wear them much actually, formals at work J.

And yeah, last night, my sister asked me to help my nephew with his public speaking event. He was to speak few lines on his favourite festival so I just wrote 7 points on Diwali (the biggest festival for Hindus that is celebrated through out the country) and later he told me his favourite was Christmas lol, see the effect of Western culture here in India too haha and then I had to write again and he was glad he would speak on Christmas then lol.

Sure, you can know more. Yes, I lived in India for a year. I lived in the southern parts. I had no set place I lived. I had a flat in Bangalore and in Puttaparthi. I traveled extensively in the south. I mostly lived on the streets and in temples. It was quite a revolutionary experience and changed who I am today. India is so deep inside my heart. What I found there, I struggle sometimes toput into words. From the outside, it was probably a bad time. My fiance left me in India with no way back and no money so I did live on the streets until I made enough money to fly home although now I seek a return. I’m unsure how. I want to live a very organic lifestyle. Maybe in the upcoming years I shall be able to return, until then… it’s littered my prayers and my meditation. Any questions? 🙂

LOL. Yes, I came to India to get married. Once I was basically kicked to the streets, I felt this was the opportunity of a lifetime. I’ve always been spiritual but it just seemed like one (almost too large) coincidence. I took the situation and empowered myself. I am very aware of the dangers that lurk around but I am also very aware of the bright lights. I found India to be a place of greatlights and great darks. I could have gone to the embassy at any time but to be 100% honest, I was deep in meditation for about 6 months. I was well taken care of. There was great awakening there for me and had I just ran to the embassy at the first stumbling block, I would not have awakened to a truly surrendered spiritual space inside nor would I have found love and forgiveness to the depths that I have and have found each and every single day since. Before I left for India, I had already given up everything I owned, it was no small stretch to lose the two suitcases and load of cash either. I learned a big lesson. Love love love. What is currency when all you need is to be surrendered and live in service? *blah* 🙂 That’s what I learned.

My life, overall, is radiant. Ups and downs like anyone else’s but there is… happiness, bliss radiating underneath. 🙂 I will email soon. I’m finishing up work. 🙂 Love

It is important to honor and allow all that is present in the moment. To deny is counterproductive to being and growth. That is all. 🙂 Even if my words sometimes have pain, because that is what I experience now, underneath it all is the current of Love and Bliss. So hard to describe that, even. Email sent, by the way. 🙂

haha! Yay for Christmas!! LOL this note would be longer but I’m at school! -jennie

Ego is everything but essence, or spirit. Sounds like you are doing fine. No one is perfect, myself included. What I found was ego = body, thoughts, emotion… etc. Everything but the essence. Remove everything. All of it and what do you have? There is Truth. The question: Who am I? Keep asking until there is silence and there is the answer. Practice it in meditation and see where it takes you. *bah* Such heavy talk. 🙂 Out of curiosity, why aren’t you married? You are around the age in which your parents, I would assume, would be looking for your wife? Will you have an arranged marriage or not? You look rather innocent with a bad side, you naughty thing. A good boy, nonetheless.

A little logic: You can’t fight fire with fire. A person is angry or frustrated so you respond with anger and frustration. Does the situation get worse or calm down? If, however, you respond with loving-kindness, what happens? How to survive? You would seriously be surprised at the change and shift of people around you when you start being the love and light inside. Those who cannot handle such love go away and those who are in such a space will find you. Like finds like, dear one. That is the key. My question is, how could you not change to such a peaceful and loving space? It seems faulty to think that one HAS to fight or argue or engage in any kind of conflict. You don’t have to do anything. THAT is ego. 🙂 See?
