This year has been rather heavy, yet so very essential.. Everything came to a standstill without any clue.. It's as though world took a "Pause".
When I reflect back, I feel if it was not for this pause, then I would have been deprived myself of so many things..
My routine in the past 20 years was hectic and packed .. get up at 4:45am, get ready, making lunch boxes for work, catching the office cab at 6:30a.m and reaching office by 7:30 am. Then like a clock - work and more work, attend meetings, lunch, tea and sit back in the cab to reach home by 6pm.
Finish tea, go for a walk, come back by 7 pm and then attend work meetings + dinner. Sleep by 11pm..
In between catch up with young MM with her studies and school stuff. In short it was always Run..Run and Run..
Well! Even writing this is making me breathless… And think of following this routine for about 20 years..
In midst of this with not much pomp comes a change - Work from Home , social distancing because of the pandemic..
I got about 4 hours of extra time which I was spending on commute in the office TT.
This opened a lot of possibilities for work, health and hobbies..
My leap into Yogic life is only because of this pause.. As my Guru Grand Master Aksharji says it's because of the "ठहराव". He says to feel the effect of every Asana give pause..
Pause is powerful!
