  I was traveling by metro train with my two-and-a half year old son. We were sitting down, watching over the window, playing our favorite game "Name the Vehicles." When the train stopped at the next station, an elderly woman got in, and I told my son to sit on my lap so we could offer the seat to the old lady. She came by and sat beside us. As the train neared the next station, an announcement was made about the name of the station and that the door would open on the left.  The old lady who sat beside me asked me in a panicked voice, "what's the name of the station that was announced?"

The Last Thought

 This is one of the concepts that truly touched and transformed my life in ways that's nothing short of phenomenal. It's true destiny when you come across the right kind of books or quotes or inspirational videos at the right time and it simply transforms your life. Thoughts are something that travels along with us from the time of our conception till our last breath and we seem to be loosing control on them. We are worried and overwhelmed by its presence.  Meditation, mindfulness, yoga, breathing techniques etc. are given such importance and has become essential part of our lives.  On my journey to self growth, I was referred to read The Secret  by Rhonda Byrne and in it I found something profound.   " The only time we are not thinking is when we are asleep; however, the forces of attraction are still operating on our last thoughts as we fall asleep. Make your last thoughts before going to sleep good thoughts. "  After reading this, I got into thinking on ...
