Tribute to Guru


Life is like a train journey........ we tend to meet many people from different walks of life. Some leave at their destination and some remain....


One of the most important person that I have met in my life...... is my spiritual guru.... who have taught me the essence of living . His Grace Uttama Chaintanya Dasa , though he left the world...... his ways , teachings will always be remembered. Those memories of treating me like the baby of the class , times spent talking about Sri Krsna , serving devotees...... and most fondly...the birthday that we've shared together..... Thank you Prabhu for all the beautiful things you've said during my toughest time........ Your blessings is such a gift , all glories to the supreme Lord. You will forever be remembered as one the most finest teacher in the world !


Hare Krsna.

Roaring Roger !

Federer has done it - by winning his 6th Wimbledon in a heart-wrenching final against Andy Roddick, Federer staked his claim on the history books by surpassing Pete Sampras' record. Tennis history is too tangled and intertwined by various events as Rod Laver says, "You know, it's hard for anyone to come out and say who's the best ever." And here's a salute to greats of the game ! A blissful  victory for Roger to remember as he became a father of  beautiful twin baby girls :)

Summer in love with June !


It was a crisp, sunny Summer evening in Bay area. As usual , we went for a walk in Marina Park , Alviso and I was so in love with this summer. The nature and landscape  reminded me of the "Peter and  Jane" book series of stories which my mom taught me when I was 5 years old ! A beautiful summer to remember ! Sweet June !

Healthy habits = Happiness !

"Whatever you dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.” - Goethe


Recently I have been emotionally shaken after the death of my grandma. It was just so difficult to come out of the mode and I realized it's impacting my daily life. I then thought life couldn't take it anymore ! I learnt a big lesson that visiting chat rooms aren't the right option ! I told myself that something has to be done to come out of  such a feeling of pain ! A loss is always a loss, we cannot replace it , I did not see my grandma for the last , final time on earth before she's buried accordingly our hindu ritual way , but I believe that she've sensed my feelings. I am keeping myself happy for the sake of my loved ones and myself ! Hence, I thought there would be so many people like me , impacted by events of life , or could even be in worser situation. Therefore , for those out there , just remember , love lives !

We live in interesting times. We’re blessed that way.The world is changing rapidly.The way we work is changing, the way we live has already changed. Entire industries are crumbling, and more are growing on their ruins. People are empowered to express themselves, to create, to become a part of a global conversation and transformation, in a way that has never existed before.

What will you do with that?


What will your place be in this new, interesting world? Will you have a voice? Will you be a creator, or just a consumer?


Do something.


Do something interesting.


Be a part of the conversation, and say something remarkable. Create something unique, new, beautiful. Build upon the works of others and transform it into your own.

Just thinking..................

Just like parents usually want to monitor the television programming their children watch, we must be equally vigilant about our own mental programming. Our thoughts have the capacity to manifest destiny.



Watch your thoughts, they become words.

Watch your words, they become actions.

Watch your actions, they become habits.

Watch your habits, they come character.

Watch your character, it becomes destiny.



Our thoughts are the pathway to contentment or disappointment.

Gauthama Buddha

Dharma transmission :
"there are causes for all human suffering, and there is a way by which they may be ended, because everything in the world is the result of a vast concurrence of causes and conditions, and everything disappears as these causes and conditions change and pass away. rain falls, winds blow, plants bloom, leaves mature and are blown away. these phenomena are all interrelated with causes and conditions, and are brought about by them, and disappear as the causes and conditions change."
( pic of Buddhist Maha Vihara Temple in Brickfields , Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia.)

Masked "Friends"

I believe many of us have certain things in life which we feel we could wind back the time and return back to the past to change many things ( things would have been different now ! ). Sometimes I feel that I should have been more careful in mixing and choosing my friends. However , we all learn a lesson at some point of our life.

The so called friends usually have a motive behind their conversations... could be anything , only if we can read their mind :) Back in high school , girls were so choosy... some just want to befriend the rich , the intelligent and the beautiful ones.... gosh......how ridiculous ! It was always a judgement through appearance !

You’re too fat or too skinny; your breasts are too big or too small ,  you are dark or fair skinned, you would be cute if…......... bottom line no matter what you do ! It's been almost a decade I've lost in touch with all high school mates.... we are now back in touch.... I've been getting friend request and message one after one through Facebook.........thanks to FB ! It's a kind of mixed feeling , some girls just add you to know what you are doing now!

There is no ending to some , who always love to pick on others based on appearance or possession. Beautiful women come in different colours , shapes and sizes , this is the truth.

In the walks of my life , having travelled across the globe from Asia to Europe and the Americas , I have met many types of  people. Fortunate enough to meet good ones , some people who never fail to amaze me....

Ammumma Left Us.....

An endless fight my mom had in  taking care of  ammumma. I am so  proud to be her daughter. Finally ammumma left this world for good to be in a better place. Her hardwork , pains , sacrifices and dedicated life will always be remembered. May her soul rest in peace and we will be missing you for all the good and bad. We could not attend her funeral but God knows , Ammumma knows that she was always on our mind.
