Have spent a wonderful week catching up with close family. One of my courses got rescheduled, so I suddenly had an entire week off, which coincided with Raksha Bandhan, my sister’s birthday as well as my dad’s b’day.
Rakhi was spent with Tina’s clan; her brother, sister and parents came over for lunch and she cooked up a storm! We spent most of our time eating, gossiping and laughing, and then rushed over to my sister’s place for my rakhis (my 2 rakhi sisters had also mailed their rakhis across) My sister, incidentally is pregnant and due on Dussehra day!
Next day was dinner with my sister and her in-laws, and y’day was with my parents again. It’s a blessing to have a close-knit and understanding family; and by Guruji’s grace they too appreciate all that Tina and I do with our “unconventional” professions and lifestyles 🙂
This morning, we awoke early and waited for a phone call, as though it was a world cup final match result; my dear rakhi sister Ritu called us just before being wheeled into the OT, and then shortly after her excited hubby Gaurav called to share that they had a baby girl!! Yayyyy, subah ho gayi mamu! And yes, that’s her right there 🙂
Ritu is the older sister of Amit (whose wedding with Ritika we attended recently)
So as you can see, this week has been a totally domesticated one, and full of smiles, laughter and blessings. Thank you, Guruji.
Jai Gurudev

Yipee!! Congratulations to the Entire Family:)
You are in the most amazing profession for the benefit of mankind. I hope that I can follow the same and I wish to do it in this lifetime only. Wonder what Guruji would say about this and wonder what Destiny has in store for me. Seems like Destiny is also being created by my own deeds!!
fir yehi lagta hai ki shayad itni iccha hi nahin jagi hai or whether its shear laziness on my part!! But one thing’s for sure. If there is one thing that I want to surely do in this lifetime in a big big way its gotto be Satsangs (Singing & Guitaring)
Request you to keep this one just between you and me!! You can share it with Guruji though:)
vaise, I told Guruji about this as well and Mummy also wrote a letter to Him as well regarding this..though I Don’t remember exactly what she wrote:)
All Smiles!!
Love You,
Jai Gurudev,

jaigurudev,
Thanx to our Guruji that we can enjoy the relationships in this way..and bless all who are arriving and those about to arrive..I wish this Vasudevakutumbakam is realised and enjoyed by all..not to live for yourself but for others.
You are so lucky and so your family that they not only share their happiness with themselves but with all…
Your happiness is reflected in this blog…Be happy always…and let others enjoy happily your unconventional existence..you are not born to be a conventional man..YOU ARE SPECIAL..
