Enjoying the simple joys of life

Serenity of mind, gentleness, moderation in speech, self-control, and purity of heart - these are called austerity of mind. This is the interpretation of Bhagavad Gita verse (from Chapter 17 Verse 16), which I read often.

When teaching becomes learning

Before I met Maruti, I barely smiled and had a habit of making a mountain out of a molehill when things didn’t go my way. Unknowingly, my student checked my ego and temper with his smile, mild manners, and talk laced with gratitude and positivity.

Create your own happiness

Screen time in the ’80s

In the absence of a remote, one had to walk up to the TV set to turn on the knob. There were two more knobs to adjust brightness and volume. Mind you, there was no option to change channels, as we had only one channel back then, which was the government-owned Doordarshan.
