Can you meditate with your eyes Open?

If your answer is NO, you are wrong. Do continue reading this.
If your answer is YES, Congrats. You are right but still continue to read this :-)

The title is really tempting. As soon as I got the book, I could not wait to start reading it because I was always of the opinion that meditation can be done with our eyes closed. Having said that, I should also make my point clear that this book is not about Yoga or anything else that you might think.

As a kid, we all would have read the two greatest epics of all time - Ramayana and Mahabharata. To be honest, I use to watch Ramanand Sagar's Ramayana and B R Chopra's Mahabharata for its visuals and graphics. What more can you expect from a kid?

After reading this book, I was totally taken back for the fact that these epics were penned down not only for its events/stories but also to impart some great morals. Though we may know the gist of it, reading these epics in minute details will throw open a huge treasure of morals, which if put into good use can make yourself see a complete transformation.

I would say that this book is a beehive and each and every chapter gives you the nectar. Since I did say it is nectar, one must understand that the real essence can be extracted to its fullest extent only if you try to explore one chamber at a time. If you are not getting as to what I am trying to say, to make it simpler "Read only one chapter a day". You can read the whole book also at one go and since this is nectar, even if you read all at once, it will not do any harm but you may not get the actual benefits of all the chambers(chapters).

I usually do not read self-help books. I do not have any valid reason for it. It is just that I am not interested on those but this book gave me a different perception since Shubha Vilas has carefully taken the examples from Ramayana and Mahabharata and crafted it perfectly with his wisdom making it a real pleasant read.

There is nothing much I could say about this because I am completely dumbstruck with the sheer excellence of the author and the information he has shared. The book is available on Amazon and Flipkart. Do buy, read and share with your friends as it is surely worth your time and money.

Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?

We have always had a debate when it comes to the topic - "Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?" The ideas differ from person to person. If you ask me, I would surely say that Studying Abroad is certainly a boon. Why is that? India is home to many universities which are known worldwide. Having said that, we must also accept the fact that none of them are in Top 20 at least. While there are many factors that attributes to this, when a person has the means to afford it combined with interest and talent, I do not see the reason as to why one shouldn't be educated abroad? While few study for their status symbol, majority of them predominantly study abroad to enhance their career. There is no doubt in it. Take a look at this brilliant video before we could proceed further. Having said that, the option isn't available to all who wanted to go out of India. The major hindrance for us is clearing the English tests which were being conducted across the glob...
