You will be remembered...

                  It was a saturday night... my ace "galaxy pocket" reminded me to pack off  from the office.The time was 11:30 pm."See you Bhargav..good night"-I crossed the watch man saying these words.As usual,with my headset on, i started riding my bike. An awesome ride ( people who drive at late nights should definitely know) on the ECR.The air smelled fresh and cold.Everything was equal under the night sky.It had an effect on my ride too.I would have driven about 20 kms , brought my bike under a canopy as the "Varuna Bhagavan" had a very generous mood to pour down. 

                                Adyar signal bus-stop .She was standing all alone fully drenched.No one else except her and me.I stopped the bike and went near her.I could realise her urge to call me but was scared. When a person like me (6 ft 3 inches tall) stands by any girl ,late at this stage of night, definitely will run an ice through her spine.I still remember her face which looked gleamingly at me but her eyes were moist.The words which she told me first were " Bhaiya,Can you offer me 5 rupees ?..i haven't eaten for 3 days..".Literally getting shocked,i gave her rs.100 and dropped her in by the nearest hotel.

                          Well,the story thus began and she entered into my life.The girl's name was Aditi  and she belonged to a tribal family from Nagaland. Her parents had left her abandoned cause of the so called incurable Human Immuno Deficiency Virus. Her course of life thus changed leaving her fatal destiny under the feet of the blatant people of the city.As i was staying alone in my house, i let her stay with me that night.Having got to know all the  details about her, I arranged for her temporary stay in an aashram.

                        Days were good then and Aditi was happy that she got a new "Bhaiya (me)" and a few other friends too.I made frequent visits to the aashram spending my leisure hours with the gifted people of God.And then came a day where she was no more in this world of baffled people.I write this article for  Aditi, an 8 year old child who taught me what my esteemed education had not sheltered.Her last words flowed out thus "Bhaiya,I pray God that my friend Reema be cured from fever,so that i can play with her.."Speechless..I understood then a definition not found in the dictionary,
                                          

                                            “A child is God's opinion that the world should go on.”   
                                        

This is for you Aditi ..

      Your loving bro,

      Karthik Shriram     

Perfect night time.....!!!

Bedtime can be a perfect time for a nighttime ritual of sending love to the world and finding gratitude for your day...

At the end of the day, as the sweet, dark stillness of night beckons us to lay down our bones and rest, we find ourselves at a clear transition point: Behind us lies the previous day and all that has come before; ahead of us, dawn heralds the unfolding of all that is yet to be. While many of us have morning rituals that connect us with our center and help us to set intentions, we may want to explore the magic and power of nighttime ritual as well. It holds for us a beautiful chance for self-appreciation and blessing. Before you go to bed each night, you can send gratitude, compassion, and healing to the being you have been up until this moment. And you can send lightness and love into the future for the one you are in the process of becoming.

A calm peace demanding night...Every heart desires to have 

Though simple, this action honors the journey you have taken thus far, while opening you to the wonderful possibilities still ahead. When you consciously engage with your own evolution this way, you may find that your sleep gets sweeter, filling your night with a deeper sense of trust and relaxation. As you rest, you can surrender to these peaceful hours, knowing that the road behind you has been seen and acknowledged with respect and kindness, while the path ahead now holds your own benevolence and well wishes.

This bedtime ritual empowers you as the only one who can determine the meaning of your own past and the hopefulness of your future. By setting this special time aside each night, you can begin to orient yourself on your path of growing. It allows you to let the past have its place, to trust that the future is taken care of, and to simply rest yourself in the graceful arms of the present moment...
