I am back -after 8 days! The longest I have been away from my 365 day pet project.

Though I have been clicking pictures everyday (now it's become like second nature, like brushing my teeth), I haven't been able to upload them. Reason - was busy with the relaunch of the paper. Now that the `Big Day' is behind me, am happy to have my routine days back!

Now about the pic -

I will remember this moment forever, i mean forever, for the simple reason, it is at this precise moment did i take one of the biggest decisions of my life. More than the decision, it was how I learnt, for the first time, to listen to my body, to my gut consciously to take the right decision.

We have all been there - to turn right or left; to pick it or drop it; to say yes or no; to walk ahead or to walk away - no matter how much debate, discuss, rave and rant you are sometimes unable to decide the right move, make the right decision.

That's when a friend told me about the `Gut whisperer' (a borrowed term she said, nevertheless a powerful one). "Listen to your body, your gut and it will tell you what to do?"

I laughed. How can you listen to your body or your gut or spleen or whatever...when your insides are nothing but a confused coil of flesh?

She said, this how you do it. "Be quiet. Then pick one of the two options. And then listen to your body. You will hear your body speak. Do you feel a tightening inside or peace and warmth? Are the sensations pleasant or not? Are the thoughts positive or negative?"

Listen to your body and it will tell you which way to go.

I had heard this or something on these lines many times. But this time around, I remember taking my options to my body. I listened. It spoke. And I decided.
I am glad I did.
