Autobiography of a Yogi, by Parmahansa Yogananda, is one of those books that made a deep impact in my life. I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. And this book explains that happiness is not about materialistic joys but is a state of being. And it all starts with listening to yourself. The magic of the book compels you to internalise what it teaches. Yogananda has not described the path to reach God but the desire to attain a higher state of spiritual being. This desire is the first step to reach Him. The book is a good guide to those who have a higher goal in life.
Peshawari at the ITC Maratha is one of my favourite restraunts. It brings together the sensibility and the aroma of Middle Eastern and Indian cuisines. I simply love to tuck into the kebab platter while sipping on a nice single malt. It is really a meal fit for a king.
New Zealand is heaven on earth. The sights, sounds and smell as you lose yourself in nature is simply intoxicating. I loved the Queenstown experience. Being the adventure capital of New Zealand, this resort town has all the right trappings for a great holiday.
