"The self control of yoga brings freedom from attraction and aversion, the opposing forces that govern material life." - Bhakti Yoga 

I rather be

I rather be called ethical, disciplined, smart and conscientious, than pretty or cutie-pie.

Only the Lonely are Free.

My life is never complete, or rather, that is how I secretly desire. On one side of my life I am happy and free, on the other side, I have to face disappointments of friendship, and expectations from family. Sometimes, things seem too good to be true, like everything is coming together after years of defeat. And I feel like I am not used to this kind of happiness, like I am missing something again - the simplicity of life, the quietness of the heart and the earth, that brings about beauty in unknown ways. The other morning, I saw a toddler in a poor community, running into the fields chasing birds, the best part about it was, the scene was set in front of the early rising sun in winter. The boundless heart of a little child running freely in the open field touched by the beautiful colors of sunrise. There was something pure and happy about the moment. Hence, being far helps me reflect on life. I want to come back down to my beginning, to my roots, to my journey and enjoy the incompleteness of my wishes. I feel more comfortable being far away from 'dreams-come-true' because I feel that, that is where I belong.
