 The exhaustion is immense. But I must prof on. Here are all the things that I am grateful for:

1. Papa is well. Spoke to him and he sounded happy. It's the sweetest voice in the world. 

2. The number of hits on my blog has increased exponentially. I mean I am thankful because I am assuming people are interested in the way I write.

3. Abhey Singh, the wonderkid from IIT who now in Kumbh is trying to set up systems to explain Hinduism in a way that meshes science with heart...said a very interesting thing. I have been thinking about this a lot. In one of his live sessions, someone asked him why we feel bad when things get disrupted or destroyed. And he said it's because we have not really assimilated the idea of seeing God in everything. In Hinduism we have designated Gods and Hoddesses for creation and leggings, for preservation and status quo, and of ending and dissolution. But we only value more and so we only recognise something new ad good (and maybe God). Anything else we feel that God is not listening. When in fact that too is Shiva and Shakti or Vishnu if things continue the way they are. I am becoming interested in learning about Advait and living by that philosophy - of holding everything without labeling and judgment. I was very deeply moved by this explanation. It gives me something to live by.

4. Have a pretty home to live in.

5. Was safe.

I have worked through the night now. Will sleep.
