A friend of mine motivated me to know about this great guru Mukund lal ghosh (now called Paramahamsa yoganandha). I was in station to catch train from Hyd to Pune and as still time left out for the trian to arrive, I just went and looking at the magazines and books in a shop. Its my usual habit to buy swathi weekly (telugu magazine) and spend time in the train. As I asked the shopkeeper he said swathi weekly is not available. My eyes were staring at the only book which was lying to my sight straight. I ignored and looking at something in telugu. Again my eyes focused on the book and small zeal in my blood forced me to pick that up. The book is “Autobiography of a Yogi”. I turned the book upside down and the price is just 75 bucks. Not being sure whether I can read or not, I bought it and started reading in the train. The book has opened my mind to know about the real spiritual world which is far away to be understood by a normal man. The book portrays every phase in humans life and its spiritual background. It also refers bible. bhagavadgeeta and ellaborates few healthy statements. I was surprised to see that it is all the same which is written in all these books. But the interpretations by ignorant people varies and hence we have different opnions on them. It also explains the sincere relationship between guru and disciple. I liked every line of the book. I can write more, more and more here but I suggest anybody to read the book to open up your spiritual eye. Its a myth that people should abandon worldy stuff to know and pursue spiritual path. This has also been debunked in this book.

When I went to spend some time on cafe coffee day yesterday I was shocked to listen to the marketing strategy of that area manager. Call it marketing strategy or something else I was very upset at the restrictions they have put. A lot may not happen over a coffee but lose over it. When me and my friend ordered cafe latte and hot chocolate. He asked me what toppings I want on latte. This is a usual question in any ccd and I politely refused that I dont want anything and I just need normal latte without any toppings. He said topping is mandatory and they are not delivering normal coffee since one month. I told him you have to prepare coffee first and then put toppings, so bring me without putting toppings. He again refused saying this has been issued from area manager and should be followed. I told him that I am a freqent visitor to ccds and I have not seen this before. He then replied saying that some changes has been done here to meet the target. Despite being flexible, how can someone impose these kind of stupid restrictions on the customer. Finally I have drunk the coffee with those toppins which absolutely made any difference. Last but not least coffee costed me 85/-(without tax). How stupid it was? I am not sure whether this restriction is in that specific area or all other CCDs.
