As for me, comfort reigns supreme: I opt for shorts and a t-shirt, a choice deeply rooted in familiarity and ease. However, memories of my upbringing alongside my late mother remind me that wearing shorts was once frowned upon in our cultural context. Nevertheless, as I've journeyed through life, I've embraced this relaxed attire, a preference that persists even at the age of 59.

Nava's Zen Unveiled: Beyond Yoga Asanas
I've seen many people miss the true essence of yoga, reducing it to nothing more than physical exercise. But let me tell you, it's so much more than that. It's about finding balance in every breath, every movement, every thought, and every emotion.
So, if you're expecting a simple workout routine, you might be in for a surprise. Because yoga, my friend, is a journey - a journey that takes you deep within yourself, where you discover strength, flexibility, and resilience you never knew you had (The Power Of Yoga).

Nava's Zen: A Harmonious Haven for Nature's Melody
The presence of birds and their chirping is such an amazing sound. Listening to the crisp chirping breaks down mental barriers and brings a soft rush of calmness to the mind, acting as natural therapy (Quieting The Mind). The presence of bird nests in your compound indicates that your environment is in harmony with nature, portraying a healthy and inviting ecosystem. This is considered a positive omen, symbolizing the renewal of life and affirming that your surroundings provide a safe and suitable environment for nesting and raising offspring.

Easy Vegetarian Salads: Quick and Nutritious Recipes
How do salads come to life in my kitchen? It all starts with a quick scan of my fridge and pantry - spotting veggies and fruits that might not last much longer. Waste is something I’m mindful of, so I prioritize ingredients that need to be used up soon. For me, this approach is part of mindful living (INDIAN VEGETARIAN KACHUMBER SALAD).
The vegetarian salad recipes I’m sharing are incredibly easy and adaptable. They incorporate what are traditionally considered Western ingredients, which have become staples in Asian kitchens, including here in Malaysia (TURMERIC EGGS).

The Power of Yoga for Restful Sleep: Patience and Practice
It's essential to recognize that yoga offers a comprehensive natural therapy for sleep. However, the challenge lies in some clients expecting immediate miracles or magic from yoga. Consistency is key, and results typically manifest after practicing yoga for at least 2-6 months. Natural therapies, by their nature, require time for noticeable effects. The expectation of instant results is a common hindrance to experiencing the full benefits of yoga (Yoga Discovery).

Tofu Delights: Global Flavors from Thai to Malay
I am a big fan of tofu, and it’s something my family eagerly anticipates. This versatile ingredient is not only an affordable source of protein but also caters to vegetarians, vegans, and meat-eaters alike. Tofu, a cherished staple in Japan and Korea, finds its way into a delightful range of dishes that are simple yet incredibly satisfying (KOREA THROUGH MY EYES, HOKKAIDO WANDERLUST & OSAKA SUNSETS).
These days, tofu isn’t limited to the traditional market varieties but is also available in hypermarkets and high-end grocers, offering a variety of choices. While I respect traditional tofu, I personally prefer the soft Japanese varieties that are organic and free from preservatives. Mainly, the preference is for the soft ones.
