Administration in Puducherry demanded extraordinary pursuit to stay ahead of challenges. It needed ideas and direction. It required able leadership and vigorous administration, with time to reflect. I decided to get into a daily regime to generate energy through Yoga, meditation and nature walk.

DAILY GRACE

I remembered my Vipassana teacher, Shri SN Goenka, telling me that the best energy-gaining time is 4:30 am. I fixed the alarm for 4:00 am and followed a regime that worked wonders. It stimulated me, generated ideas to work on, and provided mental wellbeing.

I felt navigated by a higher power. It was a daily grace. While concentrating on my breath, creative thoughts flowed on their own. I received several options effortlessly. They just came in as if someone was conversing with me. The inner voice guided me to the next step.

DAILY WORKOUT

A daily workout followed meditation. I took full advantage of the Raj Nivas lawns, the drive-in and the pathways for morning walks, the gallery for my physical activities and newspaper reading. I had fitness machines placed in the long broad gallery. I had the treadmill, cross trainer, stepper, stationary bikes, weights, roller, and other equipment. This arrangement was a replication of my home gym in Delhi. I used the exercise equipment as per the feel of the day.

DAILY ENERGY DOSES

I used the mornings to listen to the national and international news on the radio and read the editorials in the newspapers. It prepared me for the day ahead. I watched the daybreak, the birds flying past, the sunrise, the sunbeams piercing through the branches of the trees, the hoisting of the flag atop the Raj Nivas building accompanied by the bugle call. All this 17 captivated me. I photographed and shared short videos with my friends and colleagues using WhatsApp groups and social media handles.

I started my day punctually with creative energy, updated information, and a fitness regime to later engage with my core team at 10:00 am sharp. The positive energy generated gave me the zest for the day and prepared me for X factors.
