Day 12 Long Day - Recipes, Travel , Meditation and Much More..

I woke up around 2:00 a.m. feeling very, very hungry[ just mid night cravings]. Since I don't eat junk food , instant noodles were out of the question. So... I had to invent something healthy. 😄

Recipe 1: Banana Sandwich

• Bread

• Butter

• Thinly sliced banana

• Honey or jaggery powder (optional)

• A tiny pinch of salt

Simple. Healthy. Surprisingly delicious.

Then I ran out of bread... hehe.

So came Recipe 2: Banana Salad

• Thinly sliced banana

• Roasted chana

• Flax seeds

• Chia seeds

• Any other seeds you have

• Honey or jaggery (optional)

Again... ridiculously tasty. MUST TRY.

After satisfying my midnight hunger, I went back to sleep.

A Visit to meditation center

I woke up around 5:30 a.m., studied for about 40 minutes, and got ready because I had to visit a meditation center. The journey itself took almost 2 hours by metro, but it was completely worth it.

If I had to describe today's experience in just two words, it would be:

"Thoughtless mind."

 My mind was simply... quiet. No constant stream of thoughts .Like literally not even a single thought. I felt calm, composed and alive. It was a beautiful experience.
Thought of the day:
"Mind is madness. Only when you go beyond the mind does meditation begin."

Today, I understood that line a little more deeply. It wasn't an achievement or some mystical experience. It was simply the absence of unnecessary mental noise. A thoughtless mind—not empty in a dull way, but clear and alive.

After meditation, I bought a few healthy groceries—finger millet, multigrain flour, dosa mix, and mangoes.

What after?

Tonight's plan is simple:  a quiet mind, and gratitude for a day that reminded me how peaceful life can feel when the mind stops constantly arguing with itself.

See you 
Goodbye :)
