When we meet someone, we naturally look for compatibility—education, career, location, family, personality, lifestyle and many other things. But there is another important question: &lt;strong&gt;Do we really understand what the other person is looking for? And do we clearly understand what we are looking for ourselves?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Clarity about these expectations can make the partner-search journey much easier. If your fundamental expectations are very different, it may be better to recognize that early and move on respectfully. If there are only a few differences, an open conversation can help both of you understand each other and find a comfortable middle ground. Small differences are normal; unspoken differences can become bigger problems later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Sometimes, we get so interested in a person that we focus only on making the relationship work. In that excitement, we may overlook important differences in expectations. Taking a little time to step back and ask yourself &lt;em&gt;“What do I really want from my marriage?”&lt;/em&gt; can bring valuable clarity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Do you know what you are looking for? And do you know what your potential partner is looking for?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Need Help?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Searching for a life partner can sometimes feel confusing or emotionally exhausting.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Falling in love can happen in a fraction of a second. Two people can feel connected despite being hundreds or even thousands of kilometres apart. Distance, language, religion, social status or background may create challenges, but genuine affection can make those challenges feel much smaller.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;When you truly care for someone, something remarkable happens. You find energy you didn&#39;t know you had. Ordinary efforts suddenly feel meaningful. Difficult journeys seem possible. You become willing to cross distances, overcome obstacles and give your best—not because someone is forcing you to, but because your heart wants to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Once, a girl wrote these words to me:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&quot;I have gone through... You SHOULD work for it seriously.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Those words gave me an incredible boost. I felt motivated to give it my very best. It was as if a vast distance had suddenly become a journey worth making.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Love, when it is genuine, can awaken something powerful within us. It can give us courage, determination and the willingness to become a better version of ourselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Find your soul. Unleash the power within you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Need Help?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Searching for a life partner can sometimes feel confusing or emotionally exhausting. A fresh perspective on your profile, communication style, or overall approach can make the journey much easier.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;If you&#39;d like one-to-one guidance, I&#39;d be happy to help.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

You like their profile, and now comes the next challenge—introducing yourself. How do you talk about your past? Can you share it with confidence, or are there experiences that still make you uncomfortable? If you are completely honest, will the other person appreciate your openness, or will they judge you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Having a clean slate and feeling at peace with your past is a blessing. But life isn&#39;t that simple for everyone. Many people carry difficult experiences—a broken relationship, divorce, financial struggles, family responsibilities, or other setbacks. These experiences can leave us wondering what to share, when to share it, and how much detail is appropriate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Sometimes, the past isn&#39;t even in the past. There may be unresolved situations that are still affecting your life today. These are often the hardest to explain because you are still finding your way through them. In such moments, clarity becomes more important than perfection. Instead of dwelling on everything you wish hadn&#39;t happened, spend time understanding what you want your future to look like. The clearer you are about your direction, the easier it becomes to explain your journey with honesty and confidence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Remember, the right partner is not looking for a flawless life story. They are looking for a genuine person who accepts their past, has learned from it, and knows where they want to go next.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Need Help?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Searching for a life partner can sometimes feel confusing or emotionally exhausting.

A good profile, genuine communication, and personal growth naturally attract the right people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;When we become interested in someone, it&#39;s tempting to keep calling, texting, or trying to convince them to say &quot;yes.&quot; Unfortunately, this often has the opposite effect. The other person may feel pressured, making the interaction uncomfortable. Instead of trying to persuade one individual, focus on becoming someone others would naturally enjoy knowing. Build an authentic profile, communicate with confidence, and continue growing as a person. These qualities are far more attractive than persistence alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;There&#39;s another way to look at it. Chasing butterflies is tiring—you run from one to another, often facing rejection after rejection. Investing in yourself is different. Every effort you make to improve your personality, communication, appearance, or confidence stays with you. You gain positive energy, inner strength, and become a better version of yourself. And as you grow, you naturally become more attractive to the kind of partner you&#39;re looking for.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Need Help?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Searching for a life partner can sometimes feel confusing or emotionally exhausting.

While preferences are natural, an endless checklist can sometimes make us overlook people who could actually be wonderful life partners. A marriage succeeds not because two perfect people meet, but because two compatible people learn to build a life together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;When you come across a profile, ask yourself a few simple questions:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Can I enjoy spending time with this person?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Do our values match?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Can we handle disagreements respectfully?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Do our life goals move in the same direction?&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;These questions reveal much more than a list of qualifications. Instead of chasing perfection, look for someone with whom you can build peace, trust, and companionship. Those qualities are what make a relationship last.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Need Help?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Searching for a life partner can sometimes feel confusing or emotionally exhausting.

You decide on the features you need, fix a budget, and then compare different models. Once the checklist is satisfied, you may look at the design and overall feel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Buying a dress is different. Very few people carry a checklist while shopping for one. Instead, they ask themselves, &lt;em&gt;&quot;How do I look in this?&quot;&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;&quot;Does it suit me?&quot;&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;&quot;How will I feel wearing it to a party?&quot;&lt;/em&gt; In such situations, a grading system works better. You try on different dresses, give each one an overall score in your mind, eliminate the weaker choices, and finally pick the one that feels right.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many people use the &lt;strong&gt;checklist approach&lt;/strong&gt; while searching for a life partner. They prepare a long list of requirements and compare every prospective partner against it. The result is that they reject one profile after another, often overlooking someone who could have been a wonderful companion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead, consider using a &lt;strong&gt;grading approach&lt;/strong&gt;. Talk to the person. Spend time understanding their values, personality, and outlook towards life. No one will score 100% on every expectation. What matters is whether the overall compatibility is strong enough to build a happy and meaningful relationship.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Need Help?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Searching for a life partner can sometimes feel confusing or emotionally exhausting.

He suggested that we view events as scenes in a drama — an office scene, a home scene, perhaps even a visit to a police station. The idea was to participate fully, yet remain a quiet observer within: to notice people and events without becoming emotionally entangled. It felt elegant and liberating, a perspective that promised clarity amidst chaos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But when I tried to apply it, I found myself moving in the opposite direction. Instead of seeing real-life situations as passing scenes, I began creating elaborate dramas within my own mind. I imagine conversations, rehearse scenarios, and build entire narratives — so vividly that they begin to feel real. I get deeply involved, sometimes even wishing these imagined moments would unfold in reality. The mind, instead of detaching, becomes the stage itself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So how does one switch? Perhaps the shift does not begin by stopping these inner dramas, but by noticing them. Just as the swamiji suggested observing the outer world, the same awareness can be turned inward. The imagined conversations, the rehearsed scenes — they too can be watched, without judgment. In that gentle observation, a space opens up. And in that space, the grip of both inner and outer drama begins to loosen, allowing us to participate in life with greater ease and less entanglement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_wh3ZjyeCKqXbaGsslVkVIHsq1D6l6DfvYOj2MDAYjJjpXJJ2yK090Qhpa2gTpylwKq-M3ue1GspcwIr1nVJ2JCl8YgWh50qpnWFuWT_U8FBtM0dubaB9-mNAEKRyHEhHvP5FVdqcd_cOzPCvLT6o37jvk3oNHuFIwqKb-epmqFgtwS8XwByxaw/s1408/Firefly_GeminiFlash_world%20within%20oneself.%20show%20the%20brain%20witnessing%20many%20things%20inside%20714661.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;768&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1408&quot; height=&quot;328&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_wh3ZjyeCKqXbaGsslVkVIHsq1D6l6DfvYOj2MDAYjJjpXJJ2yK090Qhpa2gTpylwKq-M3ue1GspcwIr1nVJ2JCl8YgWh50qpnWFuWT_U8FBtM0dubaB9-mNAEKRyHEhHvP5FVdqcd_cOzPCvLT6o37jvk3oNHuFIwqKb-epmqFgtwS8XwByxaw/w600-h328/Firefly_GeminiFlash_world%20within%20oneself.%20show%20the%20brain%20witnessing%20many%20things%20inside%20714661.png&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/feeds/3064863691299499517/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/34891015/3064863691299499517' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/3064863691299499517'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/3064863691299499517'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2026/03/inverse-process.html' title=' Inverse Process'/><author><name>Jeya Balaji</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07702158300265047038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_wh3ZjyeCKqXbaGsslVkVIHsq1D6l6DfvYOj2MDAYjJjpXJJ2yK090Qhpa2gTpylwKq-M3ue1GspcwIr1nVJ2JCl8YgWh50qpnWFuWT_U8FBtM0dubaB9-mNAEKRyHEhHvP5FVdqcd_cOzPCvLT6o37jvk3oNHuFIwqKb-epmqFgtwS8XwByxaw/s72-w600-h328-c/Firefly_GeminiFlash_world%20within%20oneself.%20show%20the%20brain%20witnessing%20many%20things%20inside%20714661.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34891015.post-5392189470522466086</id><published>2026-03-17T16:46:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2026-03-17T16:46:08.478+05:30</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="marriage"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="society"/><title type='text'> The Companion</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Loneliness is not merely about being alone. It is the quiet ache of wanting companionship and not being able to find it. One can be surrounded by people and still feel its weight. At its core, loneliness is a longing — a deep pull toward connection that remains unmet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most living beings yearn for such companionship. When it is absent, a kind of vacuum forms within. This emptiness creates a subtle but constant pull, an inner restlessness that keeps searching. Over time, it can begin to interfere with daily life, making even simple tasks feel heavy or incomplete. The mind drifts, the heart seeks, and something essential feels missing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Consider a simple journey on foot. Walking a long distance alone can be tiring and monotonous. But with a companion, the same journey feels lighter. There is shared energy, mutual encouragement, and moments of exchange — conversation, silence, laughter. Each person supports the other, and the path becomes not just easier, but more meaningful. The terrain doesn’t change, yet the experience transforms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the same way, finding the right companion in life can bring depth and direction. It is not just about reducing loneliness, but about walking together — sharing burdens, celebrating moments, and growing side by side. With the right presence, life’s journey becomes not only bearable, but deeply fulfilling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjhk_uIZXeMq3BuGaF4DcFTGiUOwBGoE8iPvb1f7op82A01aFIijIctm2DWbtHgkXBrRbALXk_9QE2W_2141kjPp3zc4XSnv-MPWs-SuJRZ6Lf7mvcCYukK_idXJ0G5FKiDfFFP2uiJWidZ3kZSVurJAuP-8KQdUFF8YSNzrJeyx8vS7dWG5G9XPg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; data-original-height=&quot;768&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1408&quot; height=&quot;288&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjhk_uIZXeMq3BuGaF4DcFTGiUOwBGoE8iPvb1f7op82A01aFIijIctm2DWbtHgkXBrRbALXk_9QE2W_2141kjPp3zc4XSnv-MPWs-SuJRZ6Lf7mvcCYukK_idXJ0G5FKiDfFFP2uiJWidZ3kZSVurJAuP-8KQdUFF8YSNzrJeyx8vS7dWG5G9XPg=w527-h288&quot; width=&quot;527&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/feeds/5392189470522466086/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/34891015/5392189470522466086' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/5392189470522466086'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/5392189470522466086'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2026/03/the-companion.html' title=' The Companion'/><author><name>Jeya Balaji</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07702158300265047038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjhk_uIZXeMq3BuGaF4DcFTGiUOwBGoE8iPvb1f7op82A01aFIijIctm2DWbtHgkXBrRbALXk_9QE2W_2141kjPp3zc4XSnv-MPWs-SuJRZ6Lf7mvcCYukK_idXJ0G5FKiDfFFP2uiJWidZ3kZSVurJAuP-8KQdUFF8YSNzrJeyx8vS7dWG5G9XPg=s72-w527-h288-c" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34891015.post-3948486775076602582</id><published>2026-03-04T18:02:00.005+05:30</published><updated>2026-03-04T18:02:46.431+05:30</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="society"/><title type='text'>Obsession</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;157&quot; data-start=&quot;66&quot;&gt;When people become obsessed with money, it begins to show in subtle and not-so-subtle ways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;495&quot; data-start=&quot;159&quot;&gt;Imagine two parties caught in a dispute. A third person steps in, appearing to mediate. Outwardly, they claim to arbitrate and bring peace. In reality, they fuel the conflict. They speak differently to each side, intensify misunderstandings, and ensure the tension escalates. Their hidden intention is simple — to profit from the chaos.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;685&quot; data-start=&quot;497&quot;&gt;What is even more troubling is this: the mediator’s own mother is suffering because of the situation. Yet that suffering does not seem to matter. The focus remains fixed on financial gain.&lt;/p&gt;

As I explored their characteristics, I started wondering whether there might be a meaningful parallel between the nine grahas and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2026/01/talk-to-your-anima-last-year-i-wrote.html&quot;&gt;Jungian concept of &lt;em&gt;anima&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. At first, I associated anima primarily with &lt;strong&gt;Śukra&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Venus), given its connection to attraction, passion, and the search for partnership. However, the more I reflected, the clearer it became that anima cannot be confined to a single graha. Each of the nine grahas seems to describe a distinct dimension of the self, and together they appear to form a more complete picture of anima.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From this perspective, anima emerges as a composite of multiple inner qualities rather than a singular force. &lt;strong&gt;Sūrya&lt;/strong&gt; reflects introspection, self-awareness, and the capacity for self-analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Chandra&lt;/strong&gt; represents emotional depth, emotional intelligence, and inner richness of the mind. &lt;strong&gt;Chevvai (Maṅgala)&lt;/strong&gt; embodies boldness, courage, and raw energy, while &lt;strong&gt;Budhan&lt;/strong&gt; points to intelligence, articulation, and artistic expression. &lt;strong&gt;Guru&lt;/strong&gt; signifies comprehension, wisdom, and benevolence, offering moral and philosophical grounding.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Continuing this synthesis, &lt;strong&gt;Śukra&lt;/strong&gt; expresses lovability, harmony, and relational sensitivity. &lt;strong&gt;Śani&lt;/strong&gt; contributes endurance, discipline, and longevity, shaping the anima through patience and restraint. &lt;strong&gt;Rāhu&lt;/strong&gt; reflects desire, enjoyment, and the urge to experience life intensely, whereas &lt;strong&gt;Ketu&lt;/strong&gt; represents detachment, transcendence, and liberation. In my view, this ninefold framework suggests that anima is not merely about attraction or emotion, but a rich inner constellation shaped by awareness, emotion, desire, discipline, wisdom, and ultimately, freedom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw6_tmop0llbpRbvDQ6tJNzGAERhdTHGNiHYUoqexGZ_orD7HCGJaOy8TaFSClQE1rJ-93RjSH6JVbIN6cdcVXlV6TheJW9oNIOXjqTlZTLV5bo-toVqU8y5GVJr-B2oM0rzyZz0CqZe7cOW1WUBgSHfBVa2Z8A6ISfKAfPuDBA2oqgbNraYIuwg/s1024/_44e7a0d1-ae2b-46ed-931a-1eb809d7247e.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1024&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1024&quot; height=&quot;415&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw6_tmop0llbpRbvDQ6tJNzGAERhdTHGNiHYUoqexGZ_orD7HCGJaOy8TaFSClQE1rJ-93RjSH6JVbIN6cdcVXlV6TheJW9oNIOXjqTlZTLV5bo-toVqU8y5GVJr-B2oM0rzyZz0CqZe7cOW1WUBgSHfBVa2Z8A6ISfKAfPuDBA2oqgbNraYIuwg/w415-h415/_44e7a0d1-ae2b-46ed-931a-1eb809d7247e.jpg&quot; width=&quot;415&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/feeds/6823192885621006190/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/34891015/6823192885621006190' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/6823192885621006190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/6823192885621006190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2026/02/9-forms-of-anima.html' title='9 forms of Anima'/><author><name>Jeya Balaji</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07702158300265047038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw6_tmop0llbpRbvDQ6tJNzGAERhdTHGNiHYUoqexGZ_orD7HCGJaOy8TaFSClQE1rJ-93RjSH6JVbIN6cdcVXlV6TheJW9oNIOXjqTlZTLV5bo-toVqU8y5GVJr-B2oM0rzyZz0CqZe7cOW1WUBgSHfBVa2Z8A6ISfKAfPuDBA2oqgbNraYIuwg/s72-w415-h415-c/_44e7a0d1-ae2b-46ed-931a-1eb809d7247e.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34891015.post-288372456112517542</id><published>2026-01-15T21:47:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2026-01-16T10:18:20.740+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Talk to Your Anima</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Last year, I wrote a blog titled &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2025/02/unfinished-conversations.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Unfinished Conversations&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, reflecting on how we carry unspoken thoughts for years, replaying them silently within ourselves. Just before that came &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2024/10/the-promiscuous-man-jungian-perspective.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Promiscuous Man: A Jungian Perspective&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, where I explored how the anima subtly shapes a person’s mind, choices, and inner life. Those writings were attempts to understand inner dialogues, though at the time I didn’t fully grasp how personal that dialogue truly was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Coming to the present, I’ve realized that there are untold stories and unfinished conversations not just with people, but with the anima itself. We often restrain ourselves in the outer world, but even within, there is much left unsaid. Speaking with the anima can be a revealing experience — you may find yourself trying to impress her, playing the hero, or rescuing a damsel in distress. These inner scenes are not random fantasies; they mirror the conflicts you face in life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Whatever situation unfolds in that inner dialogue often reflects a real-life challenge, and the solution you offer her becomes the answer you are seeking for yourself. In my view, engaging with the anima is one of the most honest ways to understand who you are beneath roles and defenses. Talk to her often — she knows more about you than you think.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQliOgnHZpxeWZmdFy9fOORYFa5zwHCYOb4WtbLAbOzrgbFtFnzpw_TOGttjwXi8dd8ugWppS81NMBDAmgCK9Gtfl-CQwC6gKJtgeto3F5_lKkAv6LOtA888_lHiYQd4dZfddEBJB6nJklDEZlez5yWwa788PXhaUrynFts5cuuk9TztxehTidNQ/s265/whisper.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;190&quot; data-original-width=&quot;265&quot; height=&quot;325&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQliOgnHZpxeWZmdFy9fOORYFa5zwHCYOb4WtbLAbOzrgbFtFnzpw_TOGttjwXi8dd8ugWppS81NMBDAmgCK9Gtfl-CQwC6gKJtgeto3F5_lKkAv6LOtA888_lHiYQd4dZfddEBJB6nJklDEZlez5yWwa788PXhaUrynFts5cuuk9TztxehTidNQ/w454-h325/whisper.jpg&quot; width=&quot;454&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/feeds/288372456112517542/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/34891015/288372456112517542' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/288372456112517542'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/288372456112517542'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2026/01/talk-to-your-anima-last-year-i-wrote.html' title='Talk to Your Anima'/><author><name>Jeya Balaji</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07702158300265047038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQliOgnHZpxeWZmdFy9fOORYFa5zwHCYOb4WtbLAbOzrgbFtFnzpw_TOGttjwXi8dd8ugWppS81NMBDAmgCK9Gtfl-CQwC6gKJtgeto3F5_lKkAv6LOtA888_lHiYQd4dZfddEBJB6nJklDEZlez5yWwa788PXhaUrynFts5cuuk9TztxehTidNQ/s72-w454-h325-c/whisper.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34891015.post-647201366271058926</id><published>2026-01-04T16:14:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2026-01-04T16:17:02.106+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Time spent at a river</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;In order to be with nature, I decided to go to my favorite route. Towards Anaikatti.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just 10km in that direction leaves behind the buzzling city traffic. Once we start ascend the mountains, we get a beautiful view of green valley. The huge trees along the road mesmerizes. While enjoying the ride, occasionally my mind went to the two favorite topics, that usually churns in my mind. May be it is the problem solving part that secrete dopamine. May be that is why I keep thinking those problems in a cycle and keep on bringing to my mind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I crossed Anaikatti and went into Kerala. There is a small temple of Ganesha. He sits in a river side. This place is calm and soothing. There were few people in the river, some bathing, others enjoying being in the knee height water.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a small pedestrian path along the upstream of the river. I took that narrow path. Walking in this mud and stone path reminded the happy treks I had taken in youth.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was enjoying the flow of the river. There was a rock in the middle of the river.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJd-pjyPJpSs8xXjcBxWsjHzxclKWb3KVbUkxNoXqGMsMq5KHwmOzROo26_ey6pz3lTMcbC7lTOEpGZ2K9PZEQorZDhNonTUFqvUQhmegVUhP9RG7fXltF9X9-a1P37SKWcyWf6iFGEdURTdBFBmTeNiq982z1amHviTWQlekXH4FUQgoEpVJyig/s1600/rockInTheRiver.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;900&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1600&quot; height=&quot;180&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJd-pjyPJpSs8xXjcBxWsjHzxclKWb3KVbUkxNoXqGMsMq5KHwmOzROo26_ey6pz3lTMcbC7lTOEpGZ2K9PZEQorZDhNonTUFqvUQhmegVUhP9RG7fXltF9X9-a1P37SKWcyWf6iFGEdURTdBFBmTeNiq982z1amHviTWQlekXH4FUQgoEpVJyig/s320/rockInTheRiver.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That is a beautiful place to hang out. I thought of sitting idle here. I made a promise, let me be on that rock basking sunlight, until those two thoughts come into me. I sat on the rock, put my feet inside the water. It was a nice feeling. The river was giving out melodious voice in a rhythm. It was not too hot, but a pleasant winter afternoon. Looking at the water flow is divine experience.

What words to use?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What will Prasad reply to this experience?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;Basically, I was drifting from current experience towards analyzing the experience. I had to pull back to the present and be here.

This realization hit me while trying to mobilize people into a WhatsApp group for a shared purpose. Logic alone doesn’t move people; clarity of intention doesn’t automatically translate into action. There seems to be an invisible spark required—a certain energy that nudges people from understanding to actually doing. I sensed that this was missing in my approach, perhaps in how I prepared people emotionally and framed the message beyond mere explanation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trust plays an equally decisive role. People unconsciously assess the messenger as much as the message: how credible is this person, how consistent is their intent, and how reliable is the initiative itself? When that trust is strong, people step in willingly. When it’s weak or unclear, doubt creeps in, and hesitation quietly pushes them away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My takeaway is simple but demanding: cultivate the habit of preparing the ground—building trust, timing the message well, and delivering it with the right energy. When these align, action becomes natural rather than forced.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ0r_4IAio2hst2tKgWzdu6mXwxzWvVsZ51FusvRoWUdoguKkjw1dUu3-kun9QTMbIh_gc_iCnYg3ou_4Ss1GZ4pfwrqwgEOzZ2pP4-whg-Nm8UkZGIkinVHjFzQjURmqIC42XleHpW5AGcYSCgayElk4QBTCr936_WUdG39qpdFmYGLQSwgf4oA/s800/push.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;800&quot; height=&quot;281&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ0r_4IAio2hst2tKgWzdu6mXwxzWvVsZ51FusvRoWUdoguKkjw1dUu3-kun9QTMbIh_gc_iCnYg3ou_4Ss1GZ4pfwrqwgEOzZ2pP4-whg-Nm8UkZGIkinVHjFzQjURmqIC42XleHpW5AGcYSCgayElk4QBTCr936_WUdG39qpdFmYGLQSwgf4oA/w451-h281/push.jpg&quot; width=&quot;451&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/feeds/6624844425064962305/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/34891015/6624844425064962305' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/6624844425064962305'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/6624844425064962305'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2026/01/the-push.html' title=' The Push'/><author><name>Jeya Balaji</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07702158300265047038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ0r_4IAio2hst2tKgWzdu6mXwxzWvVsZ51FusvRoWUdoguKkjw1dUu3-kun9QTMbIh_gc_iCnYg3ou_4Ss1GZ4pfwrqwgEOzZ2pP4-whg-Nm8UkZGIkinVHjFzQjURmqIC42XleHpW5AGcYSCgayElk4QBTCr936_WUdG39qpdFmYGLQSwgf4oA/s72-w451-h281-c/push.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34891015.post-874238067505938316</id><published>2025-12-27T22:51:00.006+05:30</published><updated>2026-01-04T15:36:17.370+05:30</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="events"/><title type='text'>Bayama?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I delivered a talk on &lt;em&gt;Fear&lt;/em&gt;, blending psychological insight with philosophical reflection.

When I offer a little more than what I get back, I notice how it lifts the other person’s mood and makes them feel comfortable to return to me again. That small extra effort becomes a bridge that deepens the connection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What I give doesn’t have to be material. It can be a bit of service, a few comforting words, some guidance, or a piece of knowledge. If the person on the other end finds it genuinely useful, then the exchange feels right and meaningful for both of us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9HX_CbAC7ojeHanJPGfAgZCm5g0JBLjmKhsn78a3kleJXtvHbSZ1Y8b6LBtK0421Mv8p7YGWRo0UhFevHO5yxuLng8LfsA4YEQsBaXd-vnZAwXYp3JUfBiL9Bm0uhHKROZQF5ufBuxTgKUXGhJFWxgNIPYqqXvKN3gwd1IE97IV6KApzumCU5UA/s6305/helpingHands.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;4085&quot; data-original-width=&quot;6305&quot; height=&quot;347&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9HX_CbAC7ojeHanJPGfAgZCm5g0JBLjmKhsn78a3kleJXtvHbSZ1Y8b6LBtK0421Mv8p7YGWRo0UhFevHO5yxuLng8LfsA4YEQsBaXd-vnZAwXYp3JUfBiL9Bm0uhHKROZQF5ufBuxTgKUXGhJFWxgNIPYqqXvKN3gwd1IE97IV6KApzumCU5UA/w537-h347/helpingHands.jpg&quot; width=&quot;537&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/feeds/651004213605654293/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/34891015/651004213605654293' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/651004213605654293'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/651004213605654293'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-art-of-giving.html' title='The art of giving'/><author><name>Jeya Balaji</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07702158300265047038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9HX_CbAC7ojeHanJPGfAgZCm5g0JBLjmKhsn78a3kleJXtvHbSZ1Y8b6LBtK0421Mv8p7YGWRo0UhFevHO5yxuLng8LfsA4YEQsBaXd-vnZAwXYp3JUfBiL9Bm0uhHKROZQF5ufBuxTgKUXGhJFWxgNIPYqqXvKN3gwd1IE97IV6KApzumCU5UA/s72-w537-h347-c/helpingHands.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34891015.post-2167744710544509931</id><published>2025-11-11T12:56:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2025-11-11T12:56:24.304+05:30</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="spiritual"/><title type='text'>Leader Will Come</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;There is an old Indian saying: &lt;em&gt;“The teacher appears when the student is ready.”&lt;/em&gt; Throughout history, great leaders have emerged seemingly from nowhere, guiding humanity whenever darkness clouded the path. People wait for such saviors with deep yearning, willing to surrender everything at the feet of the master. Yet the true master seeks nothing in return. He has no personal desires, no need for wealth or fame — his only purpose is to bring joy and light into the lives of others. It is this selfless intention that draws hearts toward him, making his presence a source of peace and transformation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At times, impostors appear, masquerading as masters to exploit the trust and devotion of others. They promise miracles, demand material offerings, and offer little in return. Their success is fleeting, for truth cannot be imitated for long. True masters remain untouched by greed or ego; they care not for crowds or applause. Their mission is simple yet profound — to spread the wisdom of inner happiness and inspire their followers to do the same, keeping the flame of peace alive for generations to come.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeBhQWBjLUITAxOzdV5-DLoIJX4UiFrPUzB7brKBJ4E9b9ZHz-YXvDXSHJAulWdnSBEo4n_xSEvUVSpIIQ2xrglYduqIJ9GFk9yS6NondZ1xDtGF1EG0OSv7_om3F7O_tdRoicevMdhX5LJ_1uHGUN-ZPMqvxJR4qgbG-5iKWllo08CXXrtpP1fg/s1024/_4b6c82f8-7cf5-4982-90d0-49e066dc8f89.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1024&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1024&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeBhQWBjLUITAxOzdV5-DLoIJX4UiFrPUzB7brKBJ4E9b9ZHz-YXvDXSHJAulWdnSBEo4n_xSEvUVSpIIQ2xrglYduqIJ9GFk9yS6NondZ1xDtGF1EG0OSv7_om3F7O_tdRoicevMdhX5LJ_1uHGUN-ZPMqvxJR4qgbG-5iKWllo08CXXrtpP1fg/s320/_4b6c82f8-7cf5-4982-90d0-49e066dc8f89.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/feeds/2167744710544509931/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/34891015/2167744710544509931' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/2167744710544509931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/2167744710544509931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2025/11/leader-will-come.html' title='Leader Will Come'/><author><name>Jeya Balaji</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07702158300265047038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeBhQWBjLUITAxOzdV5-DLoIJX4UiFrPUzB7brKBJ4E9b9ZHz-YXvDXSHJAulWdnSBEo4n_xSEvUVSpIIQ2xrglYduqIJ9GFk9yS6NondZ1xDtGF1EG0OSv7_om3F7O_tdRoicevMdhX5LJ_1uHGUN-ZPMqvxJR4qgbG-5iKWllo08CXXrtpP1fg/s72-c/_4b6c82f8-7cf5-4982-90d0-49e066dc8f89.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34891015.post-56281727286095340</id><published>2025-10-20T11:41:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2025-10-20T11:41:26.171+05:30</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="spiritual"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="story"/><title type='text'> Churning the Ocean</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;The devas and asuras were in desperate pursuit of the elixir of immortality. They discovered that the &lt;em&gt;amrita&lt;/em&gt; could be obtained only by churning the cosmic milky ocean. To accomplish this, they chose Mount Mandara as the churning rod and the great serpent Vasuki as the rope. The asuras held Vasuki’s head, while the devas took his tail. To support the mountain and prevent it from sinking, Lord Vishnu assumed the &lt;em&gt;Kurma&lt;/em&gt; (tortoise) avatar, holding the mountain on his mighty back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the churning grew intense, Vasuki could not bear the strain and released a deadly poison known as &lt;em&gt;Halahala&lt;/em&gt;. The venom threatened to destroy the entire universe. In his compassion, Lord Shiva consumed the poison to protect all beings, while Goddess Parvati gently held it in his throat, turning it blue. Eventually, &lt;em&gt;amrita&lt;/em&gt;—the nectar of immortality—emerged. When the devas and asuras fought over it, Lord Vishnu appeared again in the form of the enchanting &lt;em&gt;Mohini&lt;/em&gt; and skillfully distributed the nectar only to the devas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This timeless story holds a powerful message for our modern lives. Lord Vishnu, though capable of performing miracles, chose to involve both devas and asuras in the process. He could have achieved the result through his own avatars, but instead, he allowed the opposing forces to work together toward a shared goal. It reminds us that even in conflict, cooperation can exist. Real progress often requires the participation of contrasting energies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In our daily lives, we too face challenges and people who seem to obstruct our plans. We label them as hurdles or even enemies, focusing our energy on resisting them. But if we view them as part of the process—forces that help refine our purpose—we can work with greater calm and clarity. Just as churning requires both push and pull, our efforts toward any meaningful goal involve a natural back-and-forth. Through this dynamic tension, the &lt;em&gt;amrita&lt;/em&gt; of wisdom and success eventually surfaces.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-6aeTZL963lfoX3CY6JHmtlBuFxJa0Vd-JRMBwuTk3o_7clwiaxoRSAT46qdJRxRuSI2-iNEUov96Zy7BvGS67pybefsxcXaC2vl_QdPjzQ-nsoDDwdbk59JDN2-UEKrC4hY3qrzfwci2k0s0PCZgRaRgbcrxJBFHQADklKGze3Yvpz1E9e64Sg/s950/churningOcean.webp&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;570&quot; data-original-width=&quot;950&quot; height=&quot;341&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-6aeTZL963lfoX3CY6JHmtlBuFxJa0Vd-JRMBwuTk3o_7clwiaxoRSAT46qdJRxRuSI2-iNEUov96Zy7BvGS67pybefsxcXaC2vl_QdPjzQ-nsoDDwdbk59JDN2-UEKrC4hY3qrzfwci2k0s0PCZgRaRgbcrxJBFHQADklKGze3Yvpz1E9e64Sg/w568-h341/churningOcean.webp&quot; width=&quot;568&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/feeds/56281727286095340/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/34891015/56281727286095340' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/56281727286095340'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/56281727286095340'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2025/10/churning-ocean.html' title=' Churning the Ocean'/><author><name>Jeya Balaji</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07702158300265047038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-6aeTZL963lfoX3CY6JHmtlBuFxJa0Vd-JRMBwuTk3o_7clwiaxoRSAT46qdJRxRuSI2-iNEUov96Zy7BvGS67pybefsxcXaC2vl_QdPjzQ-nsoDDwdbk59JDN2-UEKrC4hY3qrzfwci2k0s0PCZgRaRgbcrxJBFHQADklKGze3Yvpz1E9e64Sg/s72-w568-h341-c/churningOcean.webp" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34891015.post-2406311538230868848</id><published>2025-03-11T00:16:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2025-03-11T00:16:08.762+05:30</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="psychology"/><title type='text'>The Projections</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Our perception of the world is shaped by the internal structures within us.

At one point, the boy asks if the old man has any unfulfilled desires. The old man reveals that he wishes to meet his childhood crush. Together, they track her down, only to find that she is now an elderly woman with grandchildren. Fortunately, she remembers him, and they share a heartfelt conversation, bringing a sense of closure to a long-lost connection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Similarly, many of us carry unfinished emotional business—conversations we wish we had, feelings left unexpressed, or unresolved moments from our past. These thoughts don’t always weigh on us daily, but they resurface unexpectedly, stirring emotions and reminding us of something left incomplete.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, dwelling on these lingering memories can drain our energy. They often carry an undertone of regret or missed opportunity, making us feel as if we failed to close a chapter properly. There are two ways to handle this:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Address things in the moment.&lt;/strong&gt; When an important interaction happens, don’t hold back. Express your thoughts, share your emotions, and ensure that the other person knows your perspective. Unspoken words often turn into lifelong burdens.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Let go of what cannot be changed.&lt;/strong&gt; If a past event keeps replaying in your mind, remind yourself that life moves forward. You can’t step into the same river twice. People change, their priorities shift, and revisiting old conversations may not bring the closure you expect. Instead of chasing the past, focus on making your present interactions more meaningful, ensuring that future regrets never take root.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Closure isn’t about rewriting history—it’s about accepting it and moving forward with peace.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyTZOwbKNw39FiW6cLLKK4HFechY5pb7TFhxzr3Zn-G8OkMdhxXDTh9Z_l0ndwwgF5LPHGbfl5jVVasIMuFf4dhLL8kItFjNRK6JNQlYX0bnTbAXlC0mOebI8mIcNIEqattD2bE669iID5b__4iMC7CSREfSbvSMXqJGMT9UenYJCjQLaMNEZlDw/s759/KD-Engira-Karuppudurai-Director-Madhumita-759.webp&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;422&quot; data-original-width=&quot;759&quot; height=&quot;178&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyTZOwbKNw39FiW6cLLKK4HFechY5pb7TFhxzr3Zn-G8OkMdhxXDTh9Z_l0ndwwgF5LPHGbfl5jVVasIMuFf4dhLL8kItFjNRK6JNQlYX0bnTbAXlC0mOebI8mIcNIEqattD2bE669iID5b__4iMC7CSREfSbvSMXqJGMT9UenYJCjQLaMNEZlDw/s320/KD-Engira-Karuppudurai-Director-Madhumita-759.webp&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/feeds/6322775162156568264/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/34891015/6322775162156568264' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/6322775162156568264'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/6322775162156568264'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2025/02/unfinished-conversations.html' title='Unfinished Conversations'/><author><name>Jeya Balaji</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07702158300265047038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyTZOwbKNw39FiW6cLLKK4HFechY5pb7TFhxzr3Zn-G8OkMdhxXDTh9Z_l0ndwwgF5LPHGbfl5jVVasIMuFf4dhLL8kItFjNRK6JNQlYX0bnTbAXlC0mOebI8mIcNIEqattD2bE669iID5b__4iMC7CSREfSbvSMXqJGMT9UenYJCjQLaMNEZlDw/s72-c/KD-Engira-Karuppudurai-Director-Madhumita-759.webp" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34891015.post-6195827336558489201</id><published>2025-02-01T19:17:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2025-02-01T19:18:59.088+05:30</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="society"/><title type='text'>media preference</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;A couple of months ago, I walked into a salon for a haircut. The barber was deeply engrossed in his phone, barely acknowledging my presence. Meanwhile, the TV blared a loud song-and-dance sequence, but no one seemed to care. It felt as if he was watching the same song on his phone, completely detached from the screen in front of him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today, I visited the same salon again. This time, the TV was off, but the barber was still glued to his phone. It struck me—television is slowly losing its grip, its once-dominant presence fading before the irresistible pull of mobile screens. The shift is subtle but undeniable. The mobile phone has become the undisputed king of attention.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIbHdSCq05JmkE-YpNLYn6qBN15EsDhQJtrq8LxGREzgAjRqk8fLOMAJ7zwxoHVHEUoGwy1oPxevrv-jZ-K3msk9m4ILXk3SC-R6ReZILSXIivF_Agiqow3pg65wZW0A5uRhVIQ5S-fpC-wJCFNFS4GjWg3b_-UsCJxAr37NX0LLcCvRjTju4quw/s1024/DALL%C2%B7E%202025-02-01%2019.16.03%20-%20A%20barber%20in%20a%20small%20salon,%20deeply%20engrossed%20in%20his%20smartphone,%20completely%20ignoring%20his%20surroundings.%20The%20salon%20has%20a%20classic%20look%20with%20mirrors,%20a%20barb.webp&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1024&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1024&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIbHdSCq05JmkE-YpNLYn6qBN15EsDhQJtrq8LxGREzgAjRqk8fLOMAJ7zwxoHVHEUoGwy1oPxevrv-jZ-K3msk9m4ILXk3SC-R6ReZILSXIivF_Agiqow3pg65wZW0A5uRhVIQ5S-fpC-wJCFNFS4GjWg3b_-UsCJxAr37NX0LLcCvRjTju4quw/s320/DALL%C2%B7E%202025-02-01%2019.16.03%20-%20A%20barber%20in%20a%20small%20salon,%20deeply%20engrossed%20in%20his%20smartphone,%20completely%20ignoring%20his%20surroundings.%20The%20salon%20has%20a%20classic%20look%20with%20mirrors,%20a%20barb.webp&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/feeds/6195827336558489201/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/34891015/6195827336558489201' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/6195827336558489201'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/6195827336558489201'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2025/02/media-preference.html' title='media preference'/><author><name>Jeya Balaji</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07702158300265047038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIbHdSCq05JmkE-YpNLYn6qBN15EsDhQJtrq8LxGREzgAjRqk8fLOMAJ7zwxoHVHEUoGwy1oPxevrv-jZ-K3msk9m4ILXk3SC-R6ReZILSXIivF_Agiqow3pg65wZW0A5uRhVIQ5S-fpC-wJCFNFS4GjWg3b_-UsCJxAr37NX0LLcCvRjTju4quw/s72-c/DALL%C2%B7E%202025-02-01%2019.16.03%20-%20A%20barber%20in%20a%20small%20salon,%20deeply%20engrossed%20in%20his%20smartphone,%20completely%20ignoring%20his%20surroundings.%20The%20salon%20has%20a%20classic%20look%20with%20mirrors,%20a%20barb.webp" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34891015.post-2612473826684099295</id><published>2025-01-26T12:49:00.004+05:30</published><updated>2025-01-26T12:49:49.032+05:30</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="books"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="health"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="motivation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="psychology"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="spiritual"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="story"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="stress"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="success"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="tips"/><title type='text'>A Journey to Inner Peace</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;A Journey to Inner Peace&lt;/strong&gt; explores the art of living a balanced, harmonious life amidst daily challenges.

This insightful self-help book explores the value of embracing your comfort zone as a place of happiness, security, and inner strength.

Written from an introvert&#39;s perspective, it advocates for calm reflection and strategic action to expand one’s potential without succumbing to societal pressures. A refreshing take on personal growth and contentment!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can find the book at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.flipkart.com/stay-your-comfort-zone-finding-peace-familiar-places/p/itmb1513f1760ef7?pid=9789353510961&quot;&gt;https://www.flipkart.com/stay-your-comfort-zone-finding-peace-familiar-places/p/itmb1513f1760ef7?pid=9789353510961&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8psSkYBkecML4mndmlMchO3dSgdiRtXL0wMh4-1Y-dNQTuiwGrSdFb1lGt94z7gAukbmIijTtxNcjKn7Zdw-ydbTRY3GKR5rf2aLz4OzA6Vap9P1xdqQY9AWAArnS8gsHbShWqbO7HD4lFh2G41QvZe-2eOd9DERhn4VjKnf0SHajPdlO4urc5g/s2100/frontCover.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;2100&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1500&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8psSkYBkecML4mndmlMchO3dSgdiRtXL0wMh4-1Y-dNQTuiwGrSdFb1lGt94z7gAukbmIijTtxNcjKn7Zdw-ydbTRY3GKR5rf2aLz4OzA6Vap9P1xdqQY9AWAArnS8gsHbShWqbO7HD4lFh2G41QvZe-2eOd9DERhn4VjKnf0SHajPdlO4urc5g/s320/frontCover.jpg&quot; width=&quot;229&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/feeds/7420084943022182811/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/34891015/7420084943022182811' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/7420084943022182811'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/7420084943022182811'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2025/01/stay-in-your-comfort-zone.html' title='Stay in Your Comfort Zone'/><author><name>Jeya Balaji</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07702158300265047038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8psSkYBkecML4mndmlMchO3dSgdiRtXL0wMh4-1Y-dNQTuiwGrSdFb1lGt94z7gAukbmIijTtxNcjKn7Zdw-ydbTRY3GKR5rf2aLz4OzA6Vap9P1xdqQY9AWAArnS8gsHbShWqbO7HD4lFh2G41QvZe-2eOd9DERhn4VjKnf0SHajPdlO4urc5g/s72-c/frontCover.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34891015.post-318459384413260462</id><published>2024-12-23T19:40:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2025-01-26T12:50:43.296+05:30</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="psychology"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="service"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="tips"/><title type='text'>Motivational tool</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;I sought something inspiring to guide me in my new venture. As I reflected on what kind of representation could truly motivate me, the idea of creating a word cloud began to take shape. Microsoft SmartArt emerged as an intuitive tool for bringing this concept to life. With that, I brainstormed a collection of inspiring words that resonated with my goals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using these words, I crafted a visual art presentation that turned out to be both appealing and highly motivating. To take it a step further, I broke down the tasks into smaller, manageable steps and arranged them into a process flow using the same visual medium.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eager to share this approach with others who might benefit, I decided to create a free Udemy course. The course delves into the principles of SMART goals, Maslow&#39;s theory, and even alternatives to SmartArt. Take a look—you’re sure to find it enjoyable and inspiring!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;https://www.udemy.com/course/free-tool-for-motivation/?referralCode=3A2E0C173DE08E4F032C&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfhfiWJCe0nsqlwm7-6LRoCyrvE-x6xqzuoRvZCDYNd3Rz0iDUzICU7B6KnBk9iC0MCFeovlDBA2JXnWuNKbMOc3KWftzqUhNGQk6_GOEl7umBdMrpqmkc6RN2lf-PSr6m9086cZkQehHkrbgmrYHrVAWGCykjuKNLFyeVzRf7LX071M8hJ_MGEw/s1024/poster_without_text.jpeg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1024&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1024&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfhfiWJCe0nsqlwm7-6LRoCyrvE-x6xqzuoRvZCDYNd3Rz0iDUzICU7B6KnBk9iC0MCFeovlDBA2JXnWuNKbMOc3KWftzqUhNGQk6_GOEl7umBdMrpqmkc6RN2lf-PSr6m9086cZkQehHkrbgmrYHrVAWGCykjuKNLFyeVzRf7LX071M8hJ_MGEw/s320/poster_without_text.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/feeds/318459384413260462/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/34891015/318459384413260462' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/318459384413260462'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34891015/posts/default/318459384413260462'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lunchgossips.blogspot.com/2024/12/motivational-tool.html' title='Motivational tool'/><author><name>Jeya Balaji</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07702158300265047038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfhfiWJCe0nsqlwm7-6LRoCyrvE-x6xqzuoRvZCDYNd3Rz0iDUzICU7B6KnBk9iC0MCFeovlDBA2JXnWuNKbMOc3KWftzqUhNGQk6_GOEl7umBdMrpqmkc6RN2lf-PSr6m9086cZkQehHkrbgmrYHrVAWGCykjuKNLFyeVzRf7LX071M8hJ_MGEw/s72-c/poster_without_text.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
