High
on life
“It had nothing to do with gear or footwear or the backpacking fads or philosophies of any particular era or even with getting from point A to point B. It had to do with how it felt to be in the wild. With what it was like to walk for miles with no reason other than to witness the accumulation of trees and meadows, mountains and deserts, streams and rocks, rivers and grasses, sunrises and sunsets. The experience was powerful and fundamental. It seemed to me that it had always felt like this to be a human in the wild, and as long as the wild existed it would always feel this way.” Sheryl Strayed, the author of best-selling novel Wild returned from lost to found after the sudden adventurous spin, which she undertook one fine day.

In god’s grace
Once a Sufi master was asked a single word that defined Sufism…the answer was instantaneous —LOVE.
In the dogmatic world of today, Sufi shrines have become the point of convergence for people from different backgrounds who are spreading the message of love for each other and God!

Cooking a tale
He rolls up his sleeves, flexes his muscles and jerks his neck…Ripudaman Handa is gearing up for the biggest battle of his life; only this one is happening in the kitchen ring! Ripu, as his friends call him, is one among the twelve who have made it to the Master Chef India finals. He is a gymnasium instructor, who is battling it out in the new arena. “Not new,” he interrupts, “I am fond of cooking. On weekends I generally rustle up something for my family and friends.”

A Sufi experience
As excellence chases perfection, it wears the hues of experiences, which have long been guided by wisdom. Of Kabir Das and his mysticism, there's much that can be expounded, but only a few explore the simplicity of his thoughts.
