My way of relaxing is this, close your eyes and hear this Much needed healing to the mind

@AnuSatheesh5 Speedy recovery to you! Please take care. Sending divine light your way….

Gratitude for all who messaged and asked what happened yesterday. Couldn't reply to all so writing here. Had to undergo a small procedure yesterday and back home only late evening. I am perfectly ok now. For all who may ask what happened, nothing serious just a small procedure and small rest was advised yesterday

How often do you experience this...

@whizkidd Wishing your mom a speedy recovery as she comes back to her daily routine. Take care.

Thank you, everyone for your prayers and wishes. Thankfully, the worst is over. Mom's now recovering in the ICU. She is speaking normally. If all goes well, she'll be shifted to a room tomorrow, and discharged thereafter. Doctors say we were able to save her thanks to early detection of symptoms, and quick diagnosis thereafter. I will post a detailed account of how this happened and what you should do if you suspect someone is showing similar symptoms. Quick medical help is crucial for full recovery. I will forever be indebted to the talented team of doctors @CaritasHospital who came together to save her life. At the moment, I am just relieved. It's been a crazy, crazy week for me.

@Vasudha156 Super! Have a wonderful time here in Ekm. There’s a good Tea stall behind Ashis Supermarket near High Court - delicious Malayali snacks freshly prepared every day. Super Chai too! And DC Books @ Convent Road is a must-visit place.

#Kazakhstan’s strategic geography and vast #CriticalMinerals, from uranium to rare earths, place it at the centre of #EnergyTransition politics, enabling Astana to leverage multi-vector diplomacy amid intensifying great-power competition in Eurasia: @MalhotraShairee & Jyotiraditya Sanand or-f.org/37417

There’s been a Raisina Dialogue in Delhi every March since 2016. It’s the brainchild of Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Narendra Modi’s long-serving foreign minister. Like other global gatherings, it brings together political leaders, senior military commanders, prominent business people, leading journalists, and think tank chiefs to discuss key issues; but it’s better than Davos because it’s not so dominated by politically correct plutocrats; and better than the longer-running Chinese Boao Forum, because it not essentially an exercise in homage to the host government. I started attending virtually, during the pandemic, and have been there in person since 2022. My reflections on Raisina, Modi, and why India matters more than ever in my latest at The Tony Abbott Newsletter: tonyabbott.au/p/what-davos-s…

Early morning stillness. Lotuses in full bloom. Some places rise and shine before dawn. At Ochira Parabramha temple this morning . 🙏

Words are insufficient to describe the goodness of ppl in #thiruvananthapuram - everyone helped each other in little ways, since yesterday. And the best part - religious denominations didn’t matter! Everyone’s been helping each other! May Attukal Devi bless all! #pongala

Tonight is going to be a sleepless night as preparations continue in full swing and everyone’s in Pongala mode, I’ve been told.

The excitement here is so palpable! People from all walks of life are coming out to help each other…..hundreds and thousands of women have undertaken Devi Sadhana filled with love and devotion to be here for #AttukalPongala - nothing happens without Her Grace.

Truly an amazing experience 🎉to be in #Thiruvananthapuram at this time of the year when all hearts are filled with devotion to the Goddess…..ultimately it is Devi who decides who offers #AttukalPongala! 🙏
