My drive to the
office in the morning is the moment usually dedicated to mantras and reflection. It
feels like the only part of the day where I treat myself to auspicious vibes and don’t have to
worry about any in-between chores. This morning, however, witnessed
a different me who swapped to nostalgia mode thinking about this past decade which has gone by in my life. A background music played in my head: 'Glasgow love theme' by Craig Armstrong. It got me thinking about the highlights of
each and every year that has gone by since 2009.

Vimla and I always talk about the precious human rebirth, how short spanned a human life is and how important it is to feed it with values and principles and enhance its quality by indulging into different practices.
I have always considered my life to be an ordinary one but with a lot of extras, like the toppings that you sprinkle over an ice-cream.
