I think Who am I?



I consist of my body and mind. But I am not body and mind. Body and mind are accessories like my car, house, etc. But it's not me.

I am simple. When I sit, I get to know that I am not what I think I am or what my body is. It's different, which can't be expressed in words but can be experienced in realisation. Like taste, light, etc., which is real, there are words given to it, but realisation of what it is happens only when we experience it.

What is the use of this realisation?

Realising who I am gives me the power to control and use my faculties, like my body and mind, efficiently. I will be intelligent, joyful in my work, and blissfully present in each moment of the life process.

How can I realise it?

I got a realisation for the first time in my life, unconsciously, when I was doing my 42-kilometre run at around 38 km. My mind and body suddenly gave up completely on continuing anymore. But, still, I completed 42 km. There was me, who was trained by my coach, friend, and family support and didn't listen to my mind and body anymore and completed the journey. Similarly, we can get to know ourselves better when stretching our body and mind. When body and mind give up, there is something that makes you keep going. At that time, we get the experience of realisation. We can choose any activity like running, meditation, studying, etc. to do it and stretch ourselves. Or there is also a way to ask for help from those who already know by experience how to realise

How do you know someone is realised? 

There is a sign of knowing someone when they are realised, or someone can tell you how you can be realised about yourself. Someone could be a person or a thing that has some energy, like temples or any consecrated space. If you feel some fear about what will happen next, but at the same time you feel safe, it means you are at the right place to get help in realising it.

A Magical Weekend at Akshayakalpa Farm, Tiptur – A Journey into Organic Living

Just a three-hour drive and around 160 km from our home, tucked away in the peaceful green stretches of Tiptur, lies a gem of a place — Akshayakalpa Organic Farm . We had been planning a short weekend getaway, and this one-night, two-day trip turned out to be so much more than just a break from routine. It was an experience — wholesome, inspiring, and refreshing in every sense. Before the Visit: Thoughts & Expectations Before setting off, I had a few ideas in mind. I imagined fresh organic food, a serene countryside escape, and a chance to learn something new about sustainable farming. I expected to enjoy nature, perhaps interact with a few animals, and understand how organic dairy products are made. But what I got was far beyond expectations — it was immersive, educational, and joyful. From start to finish, it felt like a beautiful blend of eco-conscious living, learning, and community bonding. Day 1: Arrival & First Impressions We reached the farm around 10:45 am. Upon a...

Freshworks Chennai Full Marathon 2025: A Race That Rebuilt My Confidence

The Freshworks Chennai Full Marathon on January 5th, 2025, with bib number 42495, was more than just another race for me—it was a pivotal moment in my running journey, restoring my confidence after a tough outing in Kolkata and preparing me for my first 50km Tata Ultra. Bouncing Back from Kolkata Leading up to Chennai, my last major race was a 25km event in Kolkata. At the 20km mark, I developed a niggle that turned into pain, forcing me to walk most of the final stretch. That experience left me questioning whether I could hold up beyond 20km—an essential benchmark for marathon and ultra training. Arriving in Chennai: Simple, Focused Preparation I arrived in Chennai from Bangalore the day before the marathon, checked into my hotel, and collected my bib. I kept my pre-race routine simple: light food, early bedtime, and a kit packed with dates and electrolytes. The start line was just 1.5km from my stay, so I jogged over as a warm-up, feeling the early morning energy of the city. R...

Rewiring My Anxious Mind – Lessons from Nick Trenton’s Book

  Balancing life sometimes feels like running a marathon — literally and emotionally. As a long-distance runner, I’ve learned to push through discomfort on the road. But real life often feels like a different kind of endurance race — juggling a full-time job coding complex systems, being a father of two, caring for my mother’s treatment, managing a home, and trying to find peace in a not-so-easy family environment. In all this, anxiety silently builds up — even when things seem fine on the outside. Recently, I picked up “Rewire Your Anxious Brain” by Nick Trenton , and it has been quietly transformative. What struck me most was how practical and compassionate the book is. It doesn’t promise instant calm but gives you tools to understand your mind — especially how thoughts and emotions feed anxiety. One technique that resonated with me was the ABCDE method : A – Adversity: Identify what triggered your anxiety. B – Belief: Recognize what you’re telling yourself about it. ...
