One fine day, I thought of improving my profile by doing a foreign language course. Out of the many options that I had - French, German, Japanese etc I settled for German Language. After a few visits to some language training institutes, I ventured into Max Muller Bhavan, Bangalore. Even before I had spoken to the person in charge, Ms. Jayanthi, I had decided to join there! Just by looking at the place you could swear about their professionalism. It has a well stocked library of books, German magazines, newspapers and not to forget, movies and videos in VCDs and DVDs. Neat classrooms with well furnished equipments, well trained teaching staff, a German cafe (Café Max) and loads of recommendations left me with little choice! The course fees for the weekend batch that I have joined is Rs. 8500/- (About 145 Euro) for the A1 level.

Good and positive vibes, from people and places draws you towards them. Germany, as I know is very open to Ayurveda and Indian culture. It respects both modern technology and the ancient knowledge of civilizations. We have reasonably good business and some very loyal and fantastic customers from Germany. I hope this course helps me to interact with them better and maybe lead me to do business there.

More on Max Muller Bhavan after I have attended a few classes! Wish me luck - its been a long time since I studied!

Phew! Its been very hectic, the last 15 days or so. I had a news portal to be launched - AyurvedNews.com and the Indian version of my Ayurveda Store - AyurShop.in. Work took 25 hours a day and I still managed to squeeze a few hours for food, sleep and my Sunday morning games! All that I could not do was to update my blog! Here I am now, free to write what strikes me most.

What strikes me the most at the moment is that after a forth night of activity, wheres the result? Another few projects launched, but where’s the result?! Day and night worked for what? Thought about it for some time and got the answer:

It’s not what you start that gives you the results; its the sustained, sincere efforts and interest in what you do that drives results! What say?

• Life is more strict than a teacher. A teacher teaches lessons first and then keeps the exams but, Life keeps the exams first & then teaches the lessons!
• 5 frogs are sitting on a log. 4 decide to jump off. How many are left? ….. There are still 5 left, because there’s a lot of difference between deciding and doing!
• No one can change a bad beginning, but anyone can start anything anytime and create a successful ending!
• We judge ourselves by what we are capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.
• A blind person asked Swami Vivekananda, “Can there be anything worse then loosing your sight?” He replied, “Yes, loosing your vision!”

• Courage doesn’t always roar; Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying…
  “I will try again tomorrow“

I liked the above quote put up by my friend Karthik A on his blog. But both of us do not know the person who said it! If you know it, please put it in the comments. Thanks!

The light is still with me,
the fire burning strong,
my goal I will achieve,
but, the road is very long.

In solitude I climb uphill,
with company, I descend,
strange & known people I meet,
but, no one till the end.

Alone I come, alone I go,
alone, I win the game.
The game with treachery people play,
for riches, love and fame.

(This is an original poem written by me a few years back. One of the first ones that I like.)
