I discovered through a scientifically valid Survey, that hat Expressing Sincere Gratitude is one of my Signature Strengths as per https://www.viacharacter.org/

Hence I choose to consciously use my Signature Strength optimally.

Behind the creation of today's episode, I want to thank from the bottom of my heart:

Guru Raghavendra

Bombay Sisters

Technology in general and the inventors of gadgets (you name it ) like the age old cassette recorder and the modern cell phones.

Apps like Spotify, YouTube, its creators/Developers and all the people involved.

My listeners, family and friends.

I can go on and on. I must stop as I have a word limit for writing the description, which is good (LOL).

Enjoy listening to the devotional song with the blessings of Guru Raghavendra

This Episode is an audio version of Lalitha Brahma 's article published in medium.com

The title transpired in response to the following prompt of 30 Day Writing challenge:

Daily Prompt: Day 28: If given the choice, which time period (past, present, or future) would you like to live in and why?

Thank you for listening and reading. Please ponder and answer the question for yourself too!

Today I decided to share my song practice as an episode. I am dedicating this song to :

Self motivated learners.

People who know their intrinsic desire to follow a craft/art but are afraid of being judged.

People who are shy to ask for help (as I did initially) but muster courage to ask anyway with a willingness to accept "no".

Friends like Bindu and Vidya who understand people like me and spend their time and effort to listen, write, take pictures and provide the lyrics.

And many more ….

I am thankful to all.

Now I am stepping out of all seriousness in identifying the above groups, wiping my tears and I am LOL.

Thank you all for listening and being a part of my song practicing journey

In this Episode, Lalitha

Thank you all for checking with me. Thank you for reading and listening.

I listened to this Devotional song in the 1980s using Tape Recorder.

I made attempts to learn the song by writing on a paper, pausing the tape several times during short intervals of my fast paced High profile Management position.

In 1997 my dependent visa H4 made me learn this song with mixed emotions of losing my signature strength of a career oriented person.

After donating my tape recorder and finding that song on YouTube, I chose to learn it again. This time I took help from my friend Bindu who graciously and immediately sent me her beautiful handwritten lyrics ( my Tamil is not that good lol) after listening to the song from YouTube.

Now I invite you to listen to my song learned from YouTube with no training from a teacher.

Guru Raghavendra please forgive me for any mistakes. This is purely my bhakthi transformed into a song. I surrender to you.

Thank you all for listening

In this Episode, Lalitha has talked about two things:

Her response to the following writing prompt:

"Daily Prompt: Day 26: When was the last time you left your comfort zone — how did you grow?"

In a humorous tone, how at the time of this recording she had to get out of her comfort zone( created by a morning habit of drinking tea) when she had to stand for one hour after taking a Bone density medication. She explains how she overcame all the thoughts that come up if you can't sit or bend. Then she narrates how she overcame it by creating a certain schedule of actions around standing and enjoying the process.

This is a very short Episode. It is a response to the following prompt of the 30-Day writing challenge:

Daily Prompt: Day 25: If all jobs were paid the same, what would you choose to do?

Please ponder and answer this question for yourself and have fun.
