I was just being me... :)

This was published way back in July 2006 on my site http://namrathabaliga.googlepages.com/. It wasn't updated after that except for 3 more pages during the same time. Re-publishing all of them here. All the work is original by yours truly :)

This was the first post, rather, an intro page ;)

I live in my own mad world...The world is exactly how i want it to be. No hatred, no jealously n nothing negative. Life's just cool. I live there with my loved ones - my parents n friends...all are healthy n safe here. I do not have to think before I do anything. I can be stupid... I can be smart... I can be everything I want to be... I can do anything I want to do... I can have solitude and I can have a party... I can enjoy... I can sulk... I can smile without having to answer why... I can cry without having any reason... I can relive the moments I want... and I can dream...I can think of places I have been to n places want to go... I do not have to answer anybody anything... I do not need to justify my actions to anyone... In my world I can be just me...No strings attached :)

Hampi Ajanta Ellora Travelogue - Day 1

Namaste. Long time :D Just blogging the travelogue cz I got many requests abt it after I shared it on my whatsapp status. Disclaimer: If u r to browse my previous articles, plz know that many things have changed since the time I wrote them. So my past opinions abt many things may not be applicable now. So with that aside, let's go... It had been a long, long time since we actually went on a holiday. Not counting Goa temple visits and the places around (I ll probably make a separate post on Goa). With the COVID "holidays", we spent the last couple of years also without any long distance travel. And finally this year, we finally made one. Earlier we could visit places during off season and enjoy most of the places without any crowd. But with school, we have to schedule our travels during the breaks. So Christmas break it was. We hit a bit of a luck here too. The school announced Christmas holidays in the week prior to Christmas, i.e, from 17 - 25 Dec (as opposed to 25 ...

Trip to Auli - Day 2

Contd from previous post " Trip to Auli - Day 1 " Neither of us realized the alarm go off at 4:00 AM and when we finally did get up, it was 8:30 AM..!! :-O The only other option to reach Joshimath was to travel the 8 hours/300 kms by taxi. We knew it was going to be Rs. 3000 (as per our hom ework) two-way, as in we have to pay for the return journey as well. But it turned out to be Rs. 4000. We tried our bargaining skills with the taxi federation or whatever there, but to no avail and so we were put on an Ambassador car, our driver being a Akram. He later introdu ced hims elf to us as Vikram. The views on the outskirts of Dehradun were good. It was very foggy as well. E ven at 10:30 AM, the visibility remained hampered. There are a lot of camping sites on the way. There are lots of shops the locals have set up that offer camping, trekking and rafting. The camps looked inviting with tents and gazebo kind of things set up on the river side. The river itself was blue...

Inner Engineering

Read about my guru and Inner Engineering: The beginning . First, a few things about Inner Engineering (IE). It would be better to browse through Isha’s IE website to get a clear picture of the course. The online IE course is not available in India. Indians can take IE at their local Isha centers. The rates are different for different countries and geographical areas, so don’t do the dollar-to-rupee conversion (:P) from the .com given above. Find the local centers here and call up the respective numbers in the program listing for any queries that you may have. The IE course is arranged such that it begins on a Wednesday and ends the following Tuesday. On six of the seven days, the classes are conducted in two batches: 6:00 AM – 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Each batch is not more than 50 people. This time they are planning to introduce a 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM session (at least for Bannerghatta Road, don’t know about other centers at the moment) with around 35-40 people in eac...
