Mystic Day

This weekend is so mystic for me. I just started with a thought to meet an old table tennis friend. We were looking for a common place to meet and play table tennis. My friend told me there is a tournament happening in TSquare Arena and we can pair for doubles event. I said yes and we gathered in the hall Saturday morning. I was excited to meet him after 8years. We participated in Singles league. Nice run this week, I had good match practices. We both played very good and qualified for Sliver cup. He brought Veg pulao & panner gravy from home we had after the league matches. The facility is awasome and organizers are one of the ambassador of table tennis. 

            Sunday was mystic. I say this not because I had a podium finish. I took my wife to the tournament saying "just a Sunday outing". She watched all my matches. When we started back to home, we boarded metro. The train was full and we were standing near two Moms and their toddlers sleeping in lap. We just enquired which baby is boy and which is girl. Train started and we were just conversating. We both were standing atleast a meter away from 2 toddlers. The train was near IndraNagar and I told my wife I am going to use my telephathy and wake the babies. I was asking one of the baby to wake up and look at me (mystic). It happened to my surprise! 5th second I went mystic. We both were looking at the toddler 'the boy' just tried to open his eyes and he looked both of us. I was super duper Haappii and I became second time mystic before her. 

April 23rd 2023, Happy World Table Tennis day!

Shiva Tandav at Mount Wuru

  Normally the Shivrati will be soaked with Spiritual Bliss. This year my Shivratri was completely different. Thanks to Checkmate club coach KrishnaArjun ji. 

This year I celebrated Shivratri in different Mountain peak not himalayas in the north but one of the Dakshina hill. The dance of Shiva from Aru (formless) to Wuru (different forms) creates different characteristic to a civilization. Sport is one of the characteristic of civilization. From ancient time sport is integral part of society. People tend to get attracted by one of the characteristic of society and climb the hill. Every inch towards the peak directs one to the Shiv tatva. 

Endless Bliss! Om NamahShivaya! 

May the Tandav of this hill bring Legends and Rishis of our future. All the very Best!
