The Pune Diaries - Anand Subhuti For me this was a short glance of the Osho lifestyle, Anand Subhuti has written about his experiences.  He might have given an excerpt of himself, briefing his experiences of being in Pune, visiting Goa. It was a joyful read. Well, there's no much of the complex conversations and drama, just truly living and capturing the fine experiences of your being.  The ecstatic dance sessions, truly feeling the musical notes, the joy of meals and meetings with different people. The moments are touched in wonder, maybe that's how it is to be child like,  may be that is how it is to be present at the moment.   Reminiscing the past , yet delightful about the moment. Talking about the chaos, not yet getting chaotic within, feeling every emotion , yet not diving deep to get crumbled by it.  I must say it is actually the unlearning of the so much of being complicated. And living free it's fun to go through this short one, simply enjoy w

We were happy without an inkling of the hard times to follow.  It started with a cough, which was quite usual as he had been a smoker for

My 1st dive, with Dive Goa, Sinquerim . I reached the Sinq club, where the training in the pool  was to be held. As soon as I registered, I changed into the swim suit, Even when It was with the sleeves and knee length, I thought it would be uncomfortable because it was tight for a "not in shape" body like that of mine. I did feel conscious for sometime, but over a period I have realized, it's just ok, and the ones who talk/comment about it not looking appropriate, did not make it up to here. I got in the pool and  the instructors gave me the cylinder, the BCD suit (buoyancy control device), the googles, I was all in a state of surprise, whether am I really doing all this? I did well, My instructor commented I was quick in picking up what she was teaching me, yes my instructor was a "she", Roopi such a badass diver she was. Next we got in the boat , at the Sinquerim creek, that took around an hour to sail to the Dive site the  Grande Island. I
