vipassana
on my way from mumbai to pune.. in volvo bus.
i never read or write in such kinda travel. but this time is a true exception!cause i know if i don’t do it just now it can’t be ever again so effortlessly and spontaneously.
(didn’t carry laptop with me:( and actually writing on notepad and this insane music in the bus is so insane that i wonder how long i will be able to concentrate on writing and imagine the online typing effort again ……… but anyway lets get started!)
i dedicate this blog to my friend kalpesh! for ‘we’ know what ‘i’ earned :)
thank you kalpesh for whatever little or more i could extract out of this experience, this wouldn’t be possible without your constant encouragement and being a true helping hand.... always.
and here comes the reply to all those who didn’t know what i was upto last 12 days! where i was? why i didn’t reply to any mails calls and messages? and answers to the very habit of seeing a person online, and sudden disappearance may question lot of curiosity!
‘i truly wonder if we really miss someone’s existence more or their non existence is so inhabitual to us!’
anyway that’s a whole different plot alltogether:P but thanks for asking.. i am fit and fine, in fact wonderful:)
been to ‘vipasana’ actually!
well, i am not in a authorized position to do all the talking about what vipasana is and what it is not.
just a first time student!
but i can always share my tiny piece of experience briefly.. something what i earned can be shared….

and do not faint when you check, code of discipline and schedule.

lol.. but do check that.
for me, the entire experience of learning vipasana for 10 days was..
mentally challenging
physically difficult at times
but in the end, all so worth it!!
how far i take this forward.. (practice and theory) is even i am eager to see :)
but we can always talk one o one.. if you need to know more details, my actual each day experience over there and if you are preparing yourself to learn vipasana. or any damn thing :)
this blog has to end here, as vipasana is ‘just’ about experiencing it yourself, nothing more or nothing less.
so nothing more to add here :)
