Less is more!!

 Happy morning everyone! I was pondering for several minutes today on what topic should I write about for this week.As I was scrolling through the gallery of pictures to get some ideas of topics,so many memories flashed in my mind..Some happiest moments, some challenging moments but that is what life is all about right?Ups and downs.We are all conditioned to believe that life is all about happy moments and we really wanted to shy away when hardship hits us!Through lots of inner work,I slowly start to understand that hardships teaches us lessons to move ahead with our path..A path of moksha...A path to get rid from the never ending cycle of life and death. This post is not about my spiritual journey or about the inner work but about how Less can be more :) Post my maternity ,I have put on so much of weight which never budge to drop! The first message that goes in every mentoring session that I underwent is "To accept and love the way that I am currently"..It is ok to be lean,I...

Image
 After several years,out of blue today somehow I am dusting my blog and planning to restart my love for writing! What better way to break the hibernation by writing about a temple? Today we are going to see about Padalathri Narasimhar temple situated in Singaperumal kovil(place name) which is near to Chengalpattu.This temple is about 1.30hours away from Chennai Egmore via suburban train. I am a chennai vaasi for years but never visited this temple.Somehow got an opportunity to visit this temple recently and wanted to share some information about it for people who might  need this. As soon as we decided to visit the temple,the first thing that flashed the mind was on the commute.Which mode of public transport would be easier ,was the question and we nailed it by taking rail route. Suburban Chennai trains are a boon for people like me.I have been using the suburban trains for years now and I am grateful to it every single day.So we took suburban train from Chennai and reached Si...

After effects of two sleepless nights!
