ABOUT AN IMPORTANT MEETING!

 

I was sitting in front of him. ‘Him’ was the topmost bureaucrat of the city. It was obviously an important “official” meeting. I was inside that big hall as a representative of 30 people. Just before the meeting, I was busy discussing with my colleagues about the possible conversation I might have with the commissioner.

Not to say, I was more than prepared. Having rehearsed each and every point of discussion, all the relevant documents inside the file in my hand, eyes and ears opened wider than usual…

Everything seemed perfect except numbed hands and feet!

Then, this is what happened once the discussion started and he asked me a crucial question- YES …?

And I explained everything to him with three great opening and closing sentences:

  • I want to tell you our problem…
  • I wanted to explain what we are facing…
  • This is really crucial for us to tell you…

It is not that I didn’t say anything else apart from these three sentences. But what I had spoken, I don’t remember. But I still remember gasping for more oxygen😢 and some strength in my limbs!

And I also realised later why I was the best choice for being face to face with “The bureaucrat”.

Nobody else from my group wanted to face this. So now, whenever I feel unhappy remembering this incident, I pat my back for the reason that at least I had guts to face the situation.

Get prepared for the Maha-Bandha.

Imagine a ball of blue colour shining in your entire throat area.

Chant the Mantra Soham… 10 times and relax in savasana.

So… ham…..
