Khurshed (Bawa)

@EGYPTAIR - we were off loaded from an Egypt Air flight to Delhi and assured of a room at @LePassageCairo - the hotel has us and other passengers waiting on a number system for the last 1 hour. Please get the hotel to give us a room so we can sleep.

The work you refuse to hand over is usually the work you have decided is your identity. Give it away next week and watch what comes up. That discomfort is the actual thing worth looking at. I always aim for personal redundancy - if you are not redundant, you cannot get promoted.

Final one - just a reminder that we are silver members on @airindia Maharaja club and Farhan at dabolim Goa who works for @AirIndiaX told us that the membership is nothing to do with air India express. Possibly an update for employees is required?

@AirIndiaX - some education to give your staff - esp. Farhan at the Goa Dabolim airport. 7+7 = 14. 1 bag of 14 kgs or 2 bags of 7 kgs each is the same. Making us take our laptops out of the bag so each of us have 7 kgs is harrassment. Btw, everything went in the same overhead bin

Did Farhan at Goa dabolim work for @flyspicejet before he started with @AirIndiaX - his behaviour was exactly the reason I vowed to never fly them. Basic math and logic severely compromised.

@AirIndiaX stop behaving like @flyspicejet - that's the airline no one in their right minds should fly. Why has Farhan at dabolim Goa been approved by you to handle passengers that are human beings? He lacks basic math and logic education.

@AirIndiaX your staff at least at Goa dabolim airport need to have some education in maths and logic. 2 people HAVE to carry 7 kgs each as carry-on. They can't have one bag of 14 kgs. Start with Farhan.

@AirIndiaX explain to me how it matters if there is one bag of 14 kgs or two of 7 kgs each. Why should 2 people travelling together be asked to remove the laptops from their laptop bag and carry them separately so each has 7 kgs? Have you trained your people to harrass?

@AirIndiaX - a rude person - Farhan at dabolim Goa. When we are two people traveling with same pnr he had problems with the 1 laptop bag we were carrying of 14 kgs. He made us remove the laptops and carry them in hand because only 7 kgs allowed per passenger. Pure harrassment!

People take a painkiller for a headache within fifteen minutes of noticing it. The same head has been noisy for years, and you have decided that is just your personality. It isn't. Learn and practice #meditation and you will be amazed at how quiet things can be in there.

Finish dinner three hours before you sleep. Eat at 10 and lie down at 11, and your stomach pulls a night shift while the rest of you tries to rest. Then you wake up heavy and blame the mattress. The mattress was fine. The biryani timing was the problem.

Your head rehearses an argument you will never actually have. You write both parts, and you still lose. Catch it happening and it deflates almost at once. Meditation and breath work do far more for the tussle in your head than you can imagine.

Your breath turns shallow about ten minutes before you notice you are upset. It is the earliest signal you have and most don't notice. Ten slow breaths, exhale longer than the inhale, and the body concludes the emergency is over. Meditation can make this more or less automatic.

Fifty seven brain imaging studies got pooled together in July. Adults with sleep disorders had less tissue in the bit of the thalamus that runs attention. What we know is that the repair work happens while you are asleep, so tonight, vote for a better brain. Choose #sleep.

The moon owns no light. It simply faces the sun completely, holds that position, and becomes a source for the whole sky. The facing is the discipleship. The stillness is the practice. Sit for a while. Ask for nothing. Just be. Let something get reflected. Happy #GuruPurnima

What kills most projects is the arguing in your own head about whether any of it is worth doing. Twenty minutes of meditation in the morning quiets that argument enough for you to get on with it, and decide which dream deserves your time and effort.

"I want to write a book" is a mood. "40,000 words, 500 words a day, first draft by December" is something you can be late for... and that's still ok. A dream has a chance to become real the day it gets a size and a date.

You cannot tell your mind to calm down. It will not listen. But breathe out slowly for twice as long as you breathe in, do it for two minutes, and watch the anger drop a level on its own. The breath reaches the mind through a back door. Meditation makes it even more effective

A promotion changes your title, your parking spot and the number of people who want your attention. It does not change how you feel at 6am on a grey Tuesday. That job was always yours. Meditatoin helps more than you can imagine.

You plan the whole holiday down to the airport pickup, then wonder why the first two days feel like withdrawal. A body run flat out for months does not switch off on landing. Rest needs a runway too.
