On the beach.
The International Day of Yoga is observed today, June 21.
This ancient Indian discipline offers a timeless response to the modern malaise: strife, inner disquiet, and agitated minds colonised by smartphone glass.
A mere 15–20 minutes a day devoted to a simple routine of yoga, pranayama, and meditation can yield deep dividends. The key is constancy: not treating it as a seasonal novelty, but embracing it as a lifelong discipline.
One morning in 2008, while walking along Agonda beach in South Goa, I came upon this quiet ritual.

I missed this posting until now and when I saw the first photo I murmured – this beach is in Goa – and it was. Home calling!
Thank you, Rajan-bab
Dear Rajan, your photos are of course wonderful and outstanding, but your words are as beautiful – thought provoking, eloquent and so appropriate for the occasion! I have always wondered at your perfect choice of words. They make us look inward. Thank you so much 🙏🏿
Thank you, Prashanth.
“This ancient Indian discipline offers a timeless response to the modern malaise: strife, inner disquiet, and agitated minds colonised by smartphone glass.” No doubt about it …
Thank you, Richard.
This beautiful and shapely young woman graces the beach with her presence amigo! I was in shape like this long ago but age has resulted in some strange body shapes! Laughing!
Amigo Dan: You are a connoisseur of beauty in all its forms!
