Day #69: Brew Room (100 days of gratitude)

Yesterday I went to a coffee shop called The Brew Room @ Savera hotel. I used to be a regular here till around 6 months ago. But since I moved office away from this area I have not been able to visit this place in a long time. The Brew Room is so soothing and welcoming that in the hurry burry of a normal work day this place is a cool oasis where you can put your feet up and let your hair down while refreshing yourself with a cool drink and some yummy dishes.
I'm grateful for the Brew Room. It's a place i love to visit and spend some quality time with myself or friends or for a business discussion.
It's centrally located so easy to fix this place as the meeting room and for people to find it.
The menu is varied and offers something for everyone... More conti... Though. The thin crust pizza is to die for.
A few other similar places are amethyst and the writers cafe. These places are what makes Chennai interesting and liveable.

Day #96: Rituals (100 day gratitude challenge)

Day #96:     Rituals (100 day gratitude challenge) The rituals associated with the passing away of a family member are elaborate in most customs. The Indian Hindu customs are very elaborate and spread over a longer period than for us Indian Catholics for whom it is just 3 days of mourning and then life gets back to normal. There are a funeral service and a third-day memorial mass. The family stays together during this time. There are lots of discussions on what happened, how it happened, old memories, recent memories and a lot more so it takes the mind off the subject for the grieving members of the family. They get time to grieve heal and adjust to the new reality of a life without this person who was an integral part for so long. My sister and her sons were dealing with all of this that the shock of learning of the passing of the man of the house was cushioned and they could slowly wrap their head around the fact that he was no more amongst them. Rituals and customs play a

100 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day #2 Gratitude to all the people who provide me food and water

Gratitude to all the people who provide me food and water When I was born, many decades ago, my body weight was just 3.8 kgs and I was a helpless bundle of tissue, bone, flesh, skin, and body mass who had to have everything done for me. Today my body weight hovers around the 76 kgs mark and I think I’m responsible for the lives of so many people who depend on me. How did I get from that to here? The obvious answer is all the food that I gorged upon, since the day I was born. The produce of the earth went into me and grew my muscles, tissues, bones, and body mass to grow into this 5’10” human being who weighs in at around 76 kgs. I am me because of the food and water that I dumped into my stomach, sorry, lovingly deposited into my innards. I would not exist in this plane and talk to you without the food and water that I ingested so far. So obviously, I owe many thanks to the food and water that I have had. But who brought this food to my table? I just did a cursory math of how

Exceptional Sunday

Image
Sunday this week was exceptional. Can you guess why?  C'mon take a guess. Even a wild one. Doubt you will get it right. No, I did not do something out of the world and adventurous. No, I didn't do something stupid or dangerous. No, I didn't do whatever you are thinking. I went for a workshop titled "Exceptionalism". Strange name right? Conducted by my friend Ramya. She's a young trainer who quit her IT job a year ago to follow her passion. Yes, she's one of the bold ones to take that decision and is making it work in a very short time. It was a just a three-hour workshop, but she opened our eyes to what we could do to focus, energise and create our exceptional goal in life and what is required to achieve it. Many of us are just seduced by the routine of our life that we seldom take time out to introspect on what we would REALLY want out of this life. We just settle for what we are currently doing and go with the flow without choosing to take the
