Meditation (Standing Meditation), Photography, Music, Working out on the Elliptical, Spicy Food (Indonesian, Malaysian, Thai, Indian and Vietnamese) and Cold beer. I would have put travelling in here too, but I wish I can do that more frequently.

My Family, Lao Tsu, Amma, Baba Hari Das and all the "life teachers" I have encountered in this life. The Late Dana Reeves who said: "Life is Fair. You just have to stop wondering about it." All my close friends are also my heroes. :)
