What do I think of myself? What do you think of me? Well, what I think of myself is truly non-existent nowadays. There’s constantly an ego-mind and a conscious mind at play whenever I find myself thinking anything. I guess this has developed prominently after years of yoga practice.

My journey worth writing a book
On my flight to Goa. A literal blank state of mind. Two seats empty beside me, a perfect situation to relax and type in a few words. Let me excavate some thoughts from deep within. 2019, the yoga school that appeared as a serendipity, was my first centre of training. Not a single person to…
