Deep Gratitude and Self-Introspection Journal
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade and be thankful you have a drink.
Every day is new, and you can mark a beginning at any time in your life. It doesn't have to be January to start journaling with resolutions and introspection.
The goal is to remain consistent and taking the next baby step forward.
This journal is only for about a month and some more. If you are not writing daily, the date line is for you to fill in.
Maybe you're just going to a retreat to work on your gratefulness journaling. Or you're delving in deep into some healing self-introspection.
So, this could be for a specific goal or a 21-day challenge, for example.
Keeping it short makes it cheaper, lighter, and easier to carry around.
This paperback journal could slip into your backpack and help you travel light. You can use a new one for every month if you are a daily writer.
And at the end of this journal, there's a note page for complete reflections on this period of journaling. It will help you reflect on your overall feeling from this experience of mindful gratitude and self-introspection.
It is a wonderful journey working on trying to become a better human.
It takes us higher than where we had started off. Just as Jagadguru Kripaluji Maharaj implored that we try to become better not just project ourselves to look better in other people's eyes.
It's in our rising from our past, being a better self, having more self-control on our impulses and cravings, that we become aware of our soulful presence.
Whether you want to flow like water around the obstacles of life, finding your way gently gurgling, or if you want to be stolidly planted as a rock to withstand the strongest storms, it is entirely your calling.
The Gratitude and Self-Introspection journal helps you be aware of all the little dollops of grace that lie on your way. Each one of them leading you to the fulfillment of your life’s innate purpose.
Wishing you many happy, bold steps toward it.
Off to Dadu's
The Simple Joys of Life are Free and Priceless.
Off to Dadu’s captures a series of moments that grown-ups have had to leave behind and the children to peek into their parent’s simpler days of fun without any gadgets. Written in lyrical free verse, the book talks of the happy days of simplicity, when life was less cluttered with technology and constant entertainment. Even as it narrates about an era when life flowed with the rhythm of nature, Off to Dadu’s has a spice for every age. It’s tough to brand it only as a children’s book.
Off to Dadu’s reflects on human relationships nurtured in loving without fancy or waste. When grandparents are anchored in wisdom and grace, the values simply tumbled through the generations, gracing everyone with the reassurance of love and nurturing. Dadu and Didima’s stable assurance of dignity and impartial affection set the tone of harmony into the new generations.
Life was just as good, or way better without the gadgets and gimmicks
of the overloaded modern life. Joys were tucked into simple moments of wondering and wandering, in loving and laughing, in making mistakes and discoveries.

Reviews
Off To Dadu's, was a delightful journey of time and space, enticing all the senses and imagination with rich, vivid descriptions of a child's sweetest, fondest memories growing up in India. The culture, family values, reverence for life, all instilled and finding their way into the writer's consciousness of how they shaped her are beautifully interwoven in the telling of this little slice of heaven.
It is very relatable as I also had nearly the same kind of childhood visiting grandparents during every summer vacation. The book portrays our culture, our countryside, the food, being submissive yet having the urge to explore, not confined to bookish knowledge, family bonding through music and food—very detailed writing, explaining every aspect indicating a very happy childhood. The book has a beautiful message that kids of this generation could learn from.
Balaka Ghosal shines again, taking us back to our childhood days. At this time and age when families are torn apart by COVID, politics, and internal wrangling, Balaka, in her own free flowing style, takes us back to a world when family meant support, laughter, kindness, caring and sharing. A book for all ages to enjoy and share.
