  • Rajju’s Rumble: When Tiny Tots Became Bullfight Maestros

    Back in the preschool circus, Rajju, the pint-sized bull kingpin (that’s me), orchestrated a legendary human bullfight with my gang of mischief-makers. Picture this: our hairs sculpted into horns, charging at each other like caffeinated bulls in a china shop.

    We took turns being the rodeo, clowns, and, of course, the tyrant bulls. The whistle blew, and chaos ensued – chalk missiles, paper projectiles, and a water spray extravaganza. Chants and cheers echoed like a symphony, with school bags forming the sacred boundary of our toddler battleground.

    All was peachy until the rival team, attempting to mock the mighty Rajju, started chanting about my alleged weakness. Well, that was the spark in the juice box. It ticked me off like a bee in a soda can, much like Rohit Sharma ruffling Michael Johnson’s cricket feathers. I charged in, steam billowing from my ears, catching my opponent right on the nose.

    For a split second, he looked like a daydreaming astronaut staring at stars in the middle of the day. Tears flowed, and blood put on a Vegas-style fountain show. The act earned me a VIP pass to the principal’s office and a homecoming spanking that left its mark. Was it worth it? You bet! I delivered a lesson he won’t forget: “Don’t poke the bull unless you’re ready for the rodeo!” 🐂🎉😄

  • Biting Back: A Childhood Comedy in Canvas and Teeth

    In the garage, surrounded by the aromatic chaos of paint and creativity, I found myself immersed in my uncle’s masterpiece-making world. Little did I know, my own miniature comedy was about to unfold.

    As a four-year-old thumb-sucking virtuoso, my cousin, armed with macho gusto, decided to play the thumb-yanking game. Once, it was annoying; twice, it became infuriating. But before the third act, I decided to flip the script – I sank my baby teeth into his unsuspecting hand.

    The weeeeeee of the alarm echoed like a siren in a comedy caper, drowning out any semblance of soldier-like discipline in a parade ground. My bite, in the words of a childhood hero, roared louder than a caffeine-fueled lion. A sly smile on my face, and poof! His macho facade vanished like a magician’s rabbit in a hat.

    Enter my uncle, not just a painter but a seasoned detective in the family crime scene. His brush paused, and with a furrowed brow, he turned to me for an explanation. I responded in a silent mime, relishing the mischievous act.

    As Oscar Wilde once said, “I can resist everything except temptation.” Turns out, the temptation to bite back became a sweet revenge orchestrated by the innocence of a four-year-old artist. In the canvas of childhood, every stroke tells a story, and mine had a bite to remember. 🎨😄✨

  • Harmony Unleashed: Navigating Life’s Waves with Reiki

    My initiation into the world of Reiki began in June 2011 under the tutelage of the wise Reiki Master Ramsheshu Uncle, setting me on a fascinating journey of self-discovery and healing.

    At its essence, Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that taps into the universal life force. Starting with the Level 1 attunement, a gift bestowed upon me, the following 21 days of self-healing were akin to an enchanting symphony of rejuvenation. The calming energy radiated through every fiber of my being, fostering a newfound equilibrium in my physical, mental, and emotional realms.

    Fast forward three years, and the Level 2 attunement ushered me into a deeper connection with Reiki. Beyond personal healing, I discovered the enchanting effects of Reiki on the green world and its animal inhabitants. The healing touch extended effortlessly, nurturing the growth of plants and soothing the souls of animals.

    What began as a personal journey evolved into a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of life. Reiki transformed into a beacon of mindfulness, guiding me to embrace the universe’s rhythms. It went beyond healing; it became a lifestyle, a gentle reminder of the power of intention, the beauty of touch, and the universal dance we all share.

    In conclusion, my Reiki journey, guided by the wisdom of Reiki Master Ramsheshu Uncle, is a testament to the transformative power of universal energy. From the initial self-healing days of Level 1 to the magical connection with plants and animals at Level 2, Reiki has become the thread weaving through the fabric of my life. It’s not just a technique; it’s an exploration of harmony, a dance with life’s energies, and a celebration of the interconnected symphony that binds us all.
