Stylish Rajnikant's Sunglasses

No points for guessing... that's the Imran Khan T-shirt form the recent side-splitter Delhi-Belly.


While the Indian Cinema just shot up an inch in the department of boldness, I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, it was totally hilarious including the funky energy clothing in the movie that lent it its unique slapstick character.


Talking of clothes have you wondered isn't it amazing that how wearing that "perfect outfit" or even a casual "tastefully weird T-shirt" adds that extra oomph to your personality and lends a chirpy spring to your walk ;-) it happens na? yeah to me too ...


Well, last weekend I was at a very close friend's launch of designer wear studio and as I was going through the ensemble of talent there I wondered ... How about designing my own yoga clothing ... I mean I know there is some awesome stuff out there but how about some very personalized yoga clothing?


I mean haven't you ever thought about designing your own yoga t-shirts, yoga pants or even yoga mats? If I was to ask you what did your mat say to you today... what would be your answer? I would love to hear it...


On some days , during those challenging ground-facing poses or even a when I am trying to hold a plank for that extra time , I wish my mat spoke back to me saying 'don't give up now"... or"just 5 more breaths" some times I even think of sticking that on my mat.


Wouldn't it be great to have a yoga mat that truly believes in you? 


Anyways do let me know what would design for your yoga? For me perhaps it would be a t-shirt soft, breathable, indigo, that doesn't shrink, doesn't stain, doesn't shrink and says " A Rose by any other Namaste" ;-)( 100 points for guessing that one) or "I don't teach yoga , I align spines :-)


I would love to know your favorite ones...

Dog-tired. In my 7:20 pm class


Dear Mat,


I have a confession to make ...
I am going to ahead and admit that on some days I just don't want to teach. I know I am always supposed to be that chirpy happy yogini who would rather chop an arm off than miss a yoga class, let alone miss an opportunity to make someone else's day brighter through a yoga lesson. But you know what, on some days it feels so mechanical, that the bright light of love and healing cannot shine through. And I begin to wonder.


its 8:20 pm. finally class is over. I say goodnight to my members. 


one of them walks up to me , smiles at me ( eyes shining with gratitude) and says" Thank you Bosky ... you have made such a difference to my life, helped me understand my body better.


Suddenly all frustration comes to screeching halt. I feel lighter and satisfaction starts creeping in. I feel a twitching on my lips. I am smiling.


Then I am almost skipping on my way back to my car as I feel so purposeful because another member just said 'it was a wonderful class' and I will be back for more. Just like  every new student almost feels like a gift, satisfaction and well-being of my existing ones is my reward.




so dear mat ... 


I take a bow in gratitude and thank you and god for giving me a purpose in life by giving me an opportunity to touch so many people's life positively. I am grateful to my members for placing their trust in me. 


I thank you dear Mat for reminding me why I come back to teach everyday and I thank all my members from the bottom of my heart as I dedicate this blog post them as I give a personal message for each and every one of them " As you gain a thing or two from my classes, I ,for certain always  gain so much from you. And I hope to continue giving you all a great yoga experience in each and every yoga journey we embark on together".

August Rush

As I rush through this mad frenzy called "Life'... from one day to another ...from one yoga pose another ...from one life's lesson to another ... 


Running through errands and daily chores ...as i  buy dog-food for my beautiful dogs ... I smile to myself and think August is here ... and life is the same mad rush... August a month where we raise a toast to one of life's most beautiful gift 
"Friendships"...


I reflect back on the last 5 years of my life and think what an amazing friend my "yoga mat " has been to me ... I also 
feel blessed when i think about all those awesome beings of my life who have been such lovely friends and contributed to who I am today...




So, an ode from the heart to August and to "Friendship"

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song? Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.  (H.W. longfellow)

So, to you all beautiful people out there ...wishing you a happy friendship month
