Born at Kapilvastu, now a Buddhist pilgrimage site, the soil where prince Siddhartha Gautama grew up before taking to the wood, I had humble childhood, everything just enough to scrape along. Quite early on, I began to question everything (the system, the order, the path they set my feet on, and the values they shackled my feet with). And, I turned in on my own mind. A promising boy I was though, I hardly had any interest left for anything. The order in which I was brought up ceased to mean anything to me. . I never really got on with anyone. My ways ran me into what they now call mental health problem. I crashed. I had terrible anxiety disorder, paranoia, hallucinations and so on. I saw black in every bright. I brought off the thing called "me" out of it through submission and "Let Go". Thereafter, I've lived (if this thing called "me" is living at all) through and against all odds. I stumbled across so many tempting things and got caught up, like hitting a turbulence and then finding smooth sail. Nothing held me back from moving on. Still going, not knowing where and when this would stop. Perhaps I would never know if I've fallen. Everything is just wonderful nothing to a quiet head. No crutch borrowed to lean on. Take things as they come and move on without getting attached to anything. The thing that emerges from empty nothingness is the something that gonna blaze your trail.
Serene smile on lips of dead God man

Serene smile on lips of dead God man

This God man or preferably a devout Sadhu or a lonely soul in quest of his naked self, (the thing that he is), the one I ‘m gonna talk about, is through his earthly tenure, leaving behind his mortal body, a month or so before, at the age of 70 (earthly time). I, in all honesty, don’t intend this piece of writing to be an obituary nor a eulogy, nothing of the sort. It just so happened that he popped…

Power of Dream. Miracle for Anxiety Disorder!

Power of Dream. Miracle for Anxiety Disorder!

I got this that the Mental Health Science calls Anxiety Disorder at the age of 13, which is 42 years back from now. I was in Grade VIII then. It wreaked so much havoc to my mind so much so that I became paranoid, had recurring hallucinations, palpitations, severely traumatized, seeing horrors everywhere I went, my head was like the whole mountain sitting on it, wanted to f**ing run away from it all throwing the head off shoulder but where…

Take pity on your body. You and your mind have put it through a lot

Take pity on your body. You and your mind have put it through a lot

I, my mind, and my body, are above all to me. Wonder anyone would take exception to that! I doubt they are sincere to it, though! I wouldn’t bet on it. Let’s not bring God in here. God is nearly always abused for an excuse. Three constituents are put together to make one single entity. The sum total of three – me, my mind, and my body – is what we largely are. Like it or not! It is in the…

Care givers to Mental Health Patients. Can you push the limit beyond textbook?

Care givers to Mental Health Patients. Can you push the limit beyond textbook?

  This episode under wraps which I now choose to blow the cover of revolves around a HERO, not from a flick though, but a common herd that you push your way through every day – any Tom, Dick and Harry. This cool, saintly person whose first name is Tyagi has visceral dislike (so, I reckon) of letting anyone in on things he’s buried in his chest. He’d rather take them to his grave than to whisper a word about…
