I always had in mind 🧠 to visit the place, Isha centre 🏘️.
I do know about foundation or any other organization or any NGO’s 🏘🏨, I have never been to any of them, Do know what made me go here (may be after watching his videos 📺 – few seem to be resembles my ideas 💡). It all started with singer 🎤/actress 👩🎤 Smitha (I like her), while watching her interview she mentioned about Sadhguru and about his Isha-foundation (when she mentioned about Sadhguru, I felt bad about her 👱♀️, how come she believes these types of gurus, you know when you like someone, if they do what you don’t like you start unlocking them 😠). But, when I started watching his videos 📺 ………. I would say, you watch them, not from some user ids, watch from actual Isha subscribe user id.
There is an event held in my ofc 👨💼 related to eclipse ☀️🌕🌏 — in this event, I heard, this year (2019) annular eclipse was passing through India that too via south India. Every annular eclipse occurs, but to witness, it was difficult. If want to know about eclipses, below I posted what is an annular eclipse.
So, to have the glimpse 🔭🕵️♂️ of annular eclipse and to visit the Isha centre, headed to Coimbatore.
I have never been to TamilNadu, only once for a job interview 👨💼. I heard Tamil’s are this and that and place was too hot and not that much good. (The tendency of us-humans 👨👩👦👦👨👩👧👧👩👩👧👦, we always believe what others say, without thinking 🤔 about the situation we judge people, we will come to know reality unless we face the experience – this happens in our day to day life).
Yea, People’s looks different, talks different and no other language apart from Tamil, all hoardings are all in Tamil. (You might have known famous quote, don’t judge a book 📓 by its cover, similarly don’t judge someone by their looks/language/culture, Yes they respect their language, their culture, who doesn’t respect).
What I know was, in south-India even though Kerala has the highest % of literature 📚 rate, Tamilnadu is the one more developed in all aspects (it has not only IT, it has manufacturing sectors, textile industries… etc, and that industry is spread all over the state rather confining to one region, whereas Bengaluru & Hyderabad mostly depends on IT departments)
ECLIPSE:
Check the small red dot which is passed via south India, that is an annular eclipse ☀️🌕🌏. (above attached image with option A umbra, where the moon completely covers the sun. option B antumbra, yellow ring is sun and block dot was moon, annular eclipse option C penumbra, where you can see half sun). info : https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2019-december-26
ISHA CENTRE:
Tue – 24/12/2019 Started to Coimbatore. Without any plans. (Really no idea at all how to go and where to stay but, I want to visit the Isha-centre). Started to Coimbatore with all things packing in my backpack 🎒. Somehow I got the train 🚉 ticket 🎟️.
Wed – 25/12/2019 Early hours got down at east Coimbatore junction at 6.00am, sat in the station thinking about where to go and what to do, after browsing for a long time, thanks to Oyo with utmost dilemma booked room (this time Oyo was in a crucial period, company’s performance was not good and some news 📰🗞️ was circulating that Oyo was not paying its dues 💰 to hotels 🏨 ). As I had no other option, booked Oyo.
Oops! Within a-half an hour my booking was cancelled, I thought it was done by me my mistake So, re-booked the same hotel with same price again, same thing was repeated with half an hour.
I called Oyo and yelled 😡 at him.
Oyo👨💼: Sir, my sincere apologies 🙇 ….. Bla bla ….
Me👨: I told him, what has happened.
Oyo👨💼: Sir, there might be some server issues 🖥️.
Me👨: How come without the interference of customer or from Oyo, how server cancels the customer request, that too, after the room was booked.
Oyo👨💼: this time we will book a hotel from our side.
Me👨 (mini-me): I thought this would be good
Me👨: Okay, please book the same hotel.
(I am still on the call 📞, checking my mail for an invoice). Got updated mail 📨 with invoice, The room booked, but it was a little more expensive than my previous booking.
Me👨: hey! How it can be more than my booking.
Oyo👨💼: Sir, as check-in time ⏱️ approaches, price increases 💰.
Me: what? Who is responsible for that, I haven’t delayed, I booked before…… I repeated the whole story again……. Who is responsible for cancelation and all these?
Oyo👨💼: sir, billing 🧾 will come with the total price and extra amount will be paid by Oyo.
Me: You should have mentioned that first, “I said ok. And my room got booked“.
Oyo👨💼: sir, you will be getting a one more call 📞 from Oyo for confirmation
Me: I said ok.
After 30min ⌚
Oyo2 👨💼: He talked 🗣️🗣️ more….. Offers….. Lunch offers…… So on….
Me👨: arey year I don’t want all these. Just room, I need that, that’s it.
Oyo2 👨💼: only that, sir
Me👨: yes
After 1hr 🕙 I got update booking invoice 🧾 to my mail 📨 from oyo saying the overall bill (actual price + extra added price(oyo1) + lunch price (from oyo2 conversation)). I don’t know what to do, with the second guy (oyo2), I haven’t said anything to him but he confirmed my meal offer.
I really pissed 👿👿 off
Me👨: my 3rd call 📞 to oyo
Me👨: I used hard voice 🖕 and told him the whole story, not giving him a chance to talk 🗣️.
Oyo3 👨💼: Sir, I understand, please talk to our manager, connecting to him
Me👨: no no no-way I am not going to repeat the whole story to anyone, you yourself negotiate and let me know the final decision.
Oyo3 👨💼: ok sir.
Manager🙋♂️: I got it, Sir, within a few minutes we will send you an updated invoice, removing the lunch price 🍲 and extra amount 💰💵
Me👨: Until I get the update invoice 📜 I am not going to hang the call. If you want, you can hang the call 📱.
Within minutes ⏱️ I got the updated invoice.
Disclaimer ⚠️: I am not advertising any wrong info about oyo or about anyone, I just said what happened to me.
Got fresh up and started to Isha.
It was 8.30pm, After spending the whole day at Isha, felt to come over here again and again ⭕. I was unable to make it on the 26th (as it was an annular eclipse ☀️🌕🌏 day, before night 🌑 I got a call from my mother saying not to watch or eat anything) even though I don’t believe all these, I was unable to resist my mother. So, 26th – entire day was in the room, accompanying with amazon-prime & netflix.
Off the records Plz ✍️: I don’t know to say this or not, I will try to keep it in clause, I saw a girl 👸 wow 😍🥰. (I mean this is not some type of infatuation, I was unable to move side my eyeballs 👀 I was looking at her {okay, maybe staring 🕵️}, I want to go near to her ask ‘would you please marry me’). (After returning I was explaining to my friend, he was asked, how she looks and trying to compare with other girls and heroine, I told him you can’t compare with anyone – now you might have gotten my intention, how much I liked her).
Fri – 27/12/2019 Whole day I spent at Isha.
Whoever has been here, what they observed I do know, What I observed was the entire construction was made with mainly few materials (Stone, Iron, Bronze, Copper, Mud… etc) Concrete was used rarely here and there.
I was an electronics guy, you know, in the above mentioned materials (iron, bronze, copper and mud (silica)) are very good conductors. Do no much into it, how and why these materials only used, you can get all the info from youtube.
Sat – 28/12/2019 Headed back to Bengaluru
Need to tell about food 🥗 in Coimbatore, whenever I have been to any hotel/restaurant always feels uneasy for digestion. This time it was really awe I ate like hell. My favorite was meals and rava dosa.
Every hotel has a name with tag Annapurna. (as per hindu tradition goddess annapurna was the wife of lord shiva, annapurna means goddess of plenty).
Whatever he (sadhguru) says, he says with full clarity and reasonable, not some gimmicks words or some sort of gambling thing.
