Mornings Forever!

I am a morning person – through and through. I cannot sleep beyond 8 am and that’s after a late night. There is something about that time of the day that is so pure, so sweet, so fresh and saatvik. These summer days, I leave for work around 7-7:15 am and the light is golden and resplendent. I keep the sunglasses off as long as I can – the sunshine is so soothing to the eyes, so nourishing. I keep the air-conditioning off as long as I can handle it – better to feel the warmth of the sun even if it be a little too warm than to feel the conditioned air streaming through the vents. Breakfasts are light – a cup of warm milk with Bournvita/Horlicks/Nutramul stirred in with a dash of tea masala. Music is different too – last year, Pinch burned all these CDs with devotional chants like Vishnu Sahasranamam, Ganapati Stotras, Hanuman Chalisa, Sacred Chants, etc. They feel so perfect to my ears at this time of the day. Almost feels as if the chants are infusing my consciousness (and the car!) with such sattva… such purity.
