It's been some time since the last time I sat here on my front porch and typing on this blog. Today is Saturday and there's no schedule to go anywhere, I'm happily at home and sit on the verandah.

It is one of the five Yamas (ethical foundations described by Sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras) that guide how we live in harmony with ourselves and the world.

Sleep
In this hustle virus infected world, it's very rebellious to say I need more sleep. I too was thinking just like that, sleep is only for the weak! A good person doesn't need to sleep long.
