I came across this article where Sreesanth has outsourced meditation ...
"Transitional meditation means that my protege Sreesanth communicates his state of mind to me. I'm in state of meditation 24x7 and I'm able to send him positive vibrations. "

New Yorkkk ...
It was a very memorable trip. New York and DC. A trip that lasted 5 days. Pretty long i would say considering most trips I made were a max of 3 days.
The New York journey started with a subway ride from the airport to Manhanttan. Oh well, we got lost. We went past ahead of our destination. We were tired of sitting in the train. We got off the next stop and decided to walk back. I cannot explain the excitement in our minds when we got off that train and came out to see the sun. We were relieved of the train, excited to see New York and focused on getting to the hotel. Thats how the trip began!
Our first tourist location was Grand Central, just another railway station I would say. However, the scenes from Karan Johar movies made it special and we identified all those places that SRK and Rani would meet. I liked the food court there. So much variety in a single food court is rare to find.
Next on line was meeting the rest of the group that got split up at the airport. Finally, we met them and proceeded to a Cathedral Church nearby our hotel. The church was sure very pretty. Tinted glasses, high ceilings, it had a very European look to it.
Next was Rockefeller centre and up Empire State Building. The view! The city! The population in New York and the active city life had already astounded me. And looking at the high rise building from atop Empire State, New York astounded me all the more. I had never seen a city with so many high rise buildings. Each with a different company's name associated with it. Such crowded downtowns, such construction. I was reminded of the way the novel 'Fountain Head' had ended. Only in a city like New York could that ending have made sense!!
As usual, when I start writing there is no end to it, more posts about New York to follow ....

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: The Movie
Best of Harry Potter they say! I am not able to agree. Am I bored of Potter? Why wasnt this movie as exciting as the last.
Go by story ... Well, the prophecy never made sense to me, and without Longbottom's story the little bit of common sense was gone. Go by action ... there wasnt any ... just a little bit of action towards the end of the movie. Frankly, the book had more action than the movie. The five doors they get stuck behind. The war between the good and the bad. Even Fred and George's exit from Hogwarts!! Come on ... could have, no, should have been beter!!
I cannot write more on this! Its boring to even recollect.

Hello there ...
'Its been long', I say. She agrees. We talk. Conversations for the sake of Conversations. Small talk. 'How is the weather there?' 'Where do you shop?' 'How is your work going?' All questions with one line answers. Every person's creativity was being tested and the question rain had begun. Despite having spoken for 3 hours, no personal information was shared.
'Where to start?' I think. Can I remake the same rapport I had with my school friends again? Will I be able to sit together with them and discuss each other's lives?
The truth is we grew apart drastically. We buy each other gifts. Talk abt general stuff, but the personal touch is gone. How do I still keep in touch? I wish I knew. I wish the answer was simple.
