I used to wake up extra early every morning and spend between half an hour to 45 mins on the yoga mat. It was a time devoted to the discipline of the body and mind and knowing that I was getting stronger each time, with every asana, with every practise, was all very empowering for [...]

Lin had me thinking deeply this weekend about this concept of “provincial thinking”. In a world that we know today, the spheres in which we operate – have the perimeters become more clearly defined by the mores that are expected or have they been allowed to become more self-regulatory?

And this is to give unto others my best within my personal capacity, in order that I never have to apologize for any shortchange, wilful or otherwise. I do not even expect this courtesy from others. I am particular only about Fairness. When the closest people to me [...]

So this was how the family spent the first weekend of 2009. Triumphantly. With singing and praises, sometimes in tears, often in fear but never without faith. Juju just needs to pull through this recovery stage now. With the dedicated and loving team at the ARC, she’s getting the most loving medical attention she can [...]
