Visit to Akshardham Temple, Delhi

Recently, we went to Akshardham Temple in Delhi. Wanted to tell you all about the visit :-

- There they have this wonderful Garden of India (Info from Wikipedia:- "Also known as the Bharat Upavan, this garden has lush manicured lawns, trees, and shrubs. The garden is lined with bronze sculptures of contributors to India's culture and history. These sculptures include children, women, national figures, freedom fighters, and warriors of India.")

I loved this visit to our past.

Here is the details of the statues (from the official website of Akshardham, Delhi):-

- And yes, we also had a Boat Ride (info from Wiki :- "Named 'Sanskruti Vihar', this ride takes visitors on a journey through 10,000 years of Indian history in approximately 12 minutes. Visitors sit in specially designed peacock shaped boats that make their way around an artificial river, passing through a model of Takshashila, the world's first university, chemistry laboratories, ancient hospitals, and bazaars, finally ending with a message expressing hope for the future of India.")

It was Just Overwhelming to visit the glorious past of our civilization!!

VISIT TO THE SCHOOL WHERE I WORKED FOR 4 YEARS

Recently I went to the school where I worked for nearly 4 years . And I had great fun throughout the whole day. Now I will write about it in detail –

One day when I called up my Principal to wish her on an occasion, she asked me to join them in the annual fete in the coming days. After I left the school (as my husband changed his job), I never went back there. So, this time, I decided to give it a try.

Though it is really far from my house but I started early so that I can have all the fun from the beginning! And it was worth it – TRULY! I met so many students, colleagues, the attendants, the gatekeeper, all the staff – I loved to meet them all. Many of my former students and their parents came to me, they were also very happy to find me after nearly one and half years. Some students went and bought their friends also to meet their “ma’m”. I had Nice time . I received a warm welcome from my Principal and Director Sir, President Sir. Truly – who could have guessed that I would have such a nice time in the school which I have already left! Today as a writing about it – I am re-living that day, and feeling glad again!

I am so grateful to the LORD, that HE has given me such a Day to Enjoy and Appreciate life ! Truly Life is Beautiful! Sometimes you face a sweet moment so unexpectedly that you are totally taken aback by the Intensity of that experience! Living each and every moment in HIS creation is Beautiful!

With Lots of Best Wishes for all .

Jai Shri Krishna

NO SPECIFIC TOPIC OR ROUTINED LIFE

What actually does this heading mean ??? Is it one heading or two ???

I don't know myself .

Right now , I don't have anything to write about . Mainly because i am feeling a bit low since last 2-3 days . So i am slightly irregular in blog-posts these days .

The reason -- : Actually i have wrote here previously that i love a routined life . But for some reason or other since last few days i could not follow my routine , which helps you to do many things in a given time .

Because a routine assigns some specific time , so you become engrossed and try to complete the given work . Simultaneously you don't worry about other works because they are alredy in your day's list . Thus routine enhances productivity . At least according to my point of view .

But ok , routine-bound life can become boring . I agree to it . But to me (having a practical outlook ) to survive in this world you need to work . And to complete work on time you need to follow a plan . If you feel monotonous , give yourself a break . I often do it . Let not your intellect but your mind decide what to do and don't force it to do anything particular . It will choose something relaxing . And this will give you pleasure . This rest period can go on for a couple of days also , when you take life a bit easily . So this is my mantra for utilising TIME in a proper way .

Coming back to the original topic --: Becuase i can't follow the routine these days , i am feeling sad . This sentence is so childish !!!!! Why actually do we think that everything in our daily life will follow a pattern ? You know when i started writing this post i was not sure about the composition of my topic . Now i think it is quite clear to me .

The lesson --: I am realising that it is important to use the time . But if a reason (like power-cut , guests etc ) prevents you from following the schedule , then just accept it . Move on and do the next chore . Otherwise while you are sad and think about the previous work which was not done , the time for next work will also be lost .

Do let me know your views on this topic .

With best wishes
