#65

Such a feeling of nostalgia, this evening.

Maybe it’s the weather. Beautiful rain drizzling with melancholy.

And couple that with my shuffled playlist, throwing my way everything from shivashtakam of sacred chants, to piya dekho na of kaavish to beti of zul ramiah.

How well we create this world of ours! Through our senses and our intellect, we make sure to anchor everything we experience as reality, ready to burst out in bubbles of memories at the slightest trigger!

Somewhere at the back of my mind, I can hear Goenkaji’s voice calling me to feel the breath, feel the breath... and Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji’s stick swinging back and forth, as if reminding me of netti, netti!

But no! There my mind runs away again. At least right now it is stuck with MS Subbulakshmi and her rendition of Bhaja Govindam.

Still with rain as background music though.

*sigh*
