When I picked up the morning newspaper today with my cup of coffee, I was delighted to see a full page advt. from Ministry of External Affairs (Govt. of India). It was the announcement of United Nations announcing June 21st as International Day of Yoga. My joy was not because of my love for Yoga (which I have been practicing for last 14 years) but because June 21st is my only son’s birthday!!!. My 11 year old son has been doing Yoga for last many years as well.
Having said this, I am aware that this may amount to nothing on ground to spread the art of Yoga. But then in life we don’t need to be left-brained always, symbolic occasions like this should be enjoyed!!!
