Summary: Online shopping for T-shirts can be fun and interesting, with very little hassle. Think any occasion, or order for yourself or someone else.   Read on to see if it is right for you. The first thing that comes to mind when one considers online shopping is the sheer comfort. You can look at several hundred options as you lounge and you don’t even have to decide fast. Think of making a purchase online, and the immediate thoughts you have are how: 1.       You don’t have to get out of your pajamas and slippers, drive around in traffic, and interact with the outside world 2.       You can check for the funkiest, most outré options through ‘search’ filters, and you know nothing is off limits – if one retailer doesn’t have a scooped-neck garment, another one will 3.       You shop on your phone, tablet or personal computer, and have your searches ‘saved for later’.

Meditating has been a roadblock in my path to well-being. Or at least that’s what I think but I met some useful advice today: meditation is not about keeping the mind from wandering, but letting it finish its wanderings and come back to the present, awareness of the physical state – breath most importantly, so much so, that it burns itself out of aimless buzz, for a time at least. This is why they say meditate for at least 20 minutes, at least once a day. Doing this lets the mind run out of steam for the time as far as distractions are concerned. Once the clump of noisy thoughts is dealt with, what remains is, surprise surprise, a clear mind to deploy at the tasks of the day. And goodness knows we have distractions. These distractions are closely linked to our insecurities. Is it Facebook notifications that I can’t keep from checking out – why am I so concerned with what people might be saying of me? Long term goal: learn to offer a wide berth to others’ opinions of me. Is

There has been a piece of writing that we’ve met with that’s made us all stop short and take notice. It could be a piece of motivational writing (hey! How come these things do exactly what they’re supposed to do? Am I missing something? Some simple formula that work, just works, because you have internalized it correctly. Just get there, do the thing and move ahead. If the cosmos conspires to help you do something right, why should you fight it? Accept it with both hands and step off into a better day. I promise tomorrow is full of challenges again. It’s up to you to ace today and be present tomorrow for the whole drama.

If this is life's chain of events in progress, I'm grateful for that piece of Dharma and karma. Take it, on!

I’ve often said that love is a conscious decision you make; to be “in love” and to learn to love someone are processes. It is true you can never love some people or places, while some others are far more amenable to kickstarting warm feelings within you. But contrary to what glossy romantic films or books might try to condition you into thinking, love is not something that “just happens”. You’re not a passive observer, swept off your feet. The head over heels thing may happen for a minute, for a day, but you would ultimately snap out of the chimera and come to your senses. You then evaluate and make choices. You might play a game with yourself – check if you feel the same funny, fuzzy way after a while, in several moods, in different seasons. See if you are tempted to change your mind. See if you are trying to convince yourself to stick to your resolve. It does not essentially mean that the lane you picked is bad or that it is bound to be fraught with difficulties. It may hint – o
