Meditation via a random meeting - an update

 In my previous blog, https://logicallekh.blogspot.com/2025/12/random-meetings.html I mentioned that I was stepping into something new — something I had heard about but never truly explored for myself.

Breathing practices. Structured meditation. Mental stillness.

I had dabbled in meditation earlier in my own way. It felt nice, but there were no dramatic changes

Did it transform me overnight? Maybe not but made me feel good. Then the course happened

And something subtle changed.

I feel better after the practice — in a way that’s difficult to articulate but real.

I pause slightly before reacting.

I observe a little before responding.

The change isn’t loud.

It’s quiet. Gradual.

And perhaps that’s the point.

This “rare meeting” — with breath, silence, and stillness — revealed a side of me that values pause over impulse.

What reassures me most is this:


The tools to manage our patterns and reactions may not always be external.

Sometimes they already exist within us.

They just need consistency.

Being monsoon its raining and it rains and rains and only rains with some minor breaks. But the water never tends to accumulate as if Mother earth is like real thirsty and swallows every bit of water that comes over. Alongwith rains is a nice breeze which is gentle and strong, every few minutes or a little more sometimes its gusty and cooler Not to forget the constantly kitkitting sound of cric...

No peace in intended Virakti

I spoke of Virakti yesterday,  https://logicallekh.blogspot.com/2026/01/virakti-in-professional-life.html  but today reminded me how much practice still lies ahead.  In a toxic work culture, detachment itself becomes tiring. “Toxic work culture” is one of the key themes I have been writing about lately. And every other day, my toxic colleagues give me enough masala to write more on this. What I often wonder is — how do people end up placing personal goals above organisational goals, all while appearing to work for the organisation? Some cases are explicit integrity issues. But many toxic people are subtler. They are more like an operational human error risk — a risk that probably doesn’t feature in any theory book yet. Such people weaken organisations quietly. They erode ethics and hollow systems from within, not in one dramatic act, but through daily behaviour. This happens in many ways: New joinees get moulded under their guidance, and their early career years ...
