Life's calling, where are you??

Hi Everybody, I'm Jitu. A warm welcome to all my dear friends. I am glad to have you all in my Life. I live in Mumbai which I believe is one of the most wonderful places in the world. I love Reading, so you can probably guess how I spend most of my time.

Research, Discovery and Music are part of my Life. I believe that only two things exist in this world & would remain throughout perpetuity – Saiji & Love!

This blog is dedicated to my family, the love of my life, my well wishers and all my dear friends with whom I had and will continue having amazing experiences in life.

Well, let me also tell you that I am not good at writing, so probably you'll have to bear a little ;-) But don't worry, I may not write always since this blog has a sole purpose of sharing.

After the overwhelming response from my friends, I got an inspiration to post my notes on the blog rather than noting it down in diary. Thank you all those who have supported my idea of 'sharing for a purpose' & encouraged me to start this blog.

This blog had been in agenda since long, but was waiting for some known day which would make me celebrate every time. Well today is March 10, a day of remembrance for me. I always believe to start something new on memorable days.

The name ‘RhythmForSoul’ came to my mind when my soul sensed a Rhythm (Life’s Call) on 1st November 2009, an unforgettable day in my life. It was my Rajasthan trip wherein a group of say around 50 including my family & my friends set on a journey in which nobody knew that we would realize life. It was in this trip where I realized how to ‘Celebrate Life’. I will not take you in depth since it will require lot of patience on your part & many pages for me to pen down my thoughts & feelings for this trip. Life changed at Ramdevra (Rajasthan).

Ramdevra is a small town which has a significant part in our History. It’s a Sacred Place where Shree Ramdevji Maharaj (a 14th century Saint widely known as ‘Ramapir’) took Samadhi. People from all over the world pay visit to Ramdevra.

We left Mumbai on 30th Oct’09. Traveling was excitement since sleeping was not allowed. With bash, fun & mirth we reached Jodhpur. What I didn’t know was a special schedule which was not mentioned earlier in Itenary. It was ‘the Royal Caravan’ in Thar Dessert of Jaisalmer (which is on my top list of favorite places to visit on earth). It was 1st Nov’09 where everyone in different groups geared up for a Camel Ride – ‘a Dessert Safari’. The ride, as it began, made me loose my senses. Believe me or not, I felt that the picture of Caravan which was in front of me has already happened before, may be in my previous birth. Whatever that was happening was just a replay, I thought for a while. I then realized that I have a purpose in life. Don’t know why over here, but I did realize. Few friends of mine who were part of the royal ride know the reason why it was so exceptional & unforgettable. ;-) Yes. You’re right. I never knew I would celebrate my ‘Silver Jubilee’ birthday at Thar Dessert with my favorite people around. With folk-lore, dance, music & food, it was a treat indeed!

On 3rd Nov was yet another surprise for me & my Family. I heard Saiji (my Mentor, whom I consider my Brother) sharing experience of His life & our relation with Ramdevra on the first day of travel. He said all major events of His Life had happen at this place. I was really inspired & thereon conceived a thought for getting license for marriage i.e. my Thread Ceremony ;-) On 3rd Nov with special permission of Saiji & other officials of the trip I could conduct Thread Ceremony at the Ramapir temple premises where He had organized a Havan for the welfare of everyone. It was indeed a great experience. Whenever I recollect those moments, not just me but everyone I know who was present, make me realize how fortunate I was in the entire trip.

Few weeks later I was not able to adjust myself since my mind was still at Rajasthan. Year 2009 indeed was most memorable but didn’t know that 2010 also has a lot in its store. New Year started with a bash, thanks to Ramaji (Saiji's younger brother). With fire-works, kids running here & there having fun & finally pizza treat at Monu’s residence at 0030 hrs. The weekends thereon were enthusiastic. Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon, a short trip to Pune, BSA Cycle Marathon, Holi, Godhra trip were all part of 2010 till now. I would take some time here & would like to thank my friends (‘Bold n Beautiful’gang) who have projected to change no matter what & wherever need be.

All these are one side of a coin. These are incomplete without the other side i.e. our Sunday morning walk’s at BARC. Yes, thanks to Lord for initiating this which ignited a spark inside me. Ideas & Inspiration come when you’re at your best!

That’s it for now. Will get back to you with some more rhythm in the next episode. God Bless!

Welcome to ‘RhythmForSoul’ & Celebrate Life!

Loads of Love
Jitu Hathiramani
