Defined by Wikipedia: Manisha

Manisha is the Hindu goddess of the mind. It is also commonly used as a name for girls esp. in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka the countries where Hinduism is a major religion. Manisha is a complex name with several layers of meaning. Popularly, it symbolizes intelligence and desire.In Hinduism, Manisha is also one of the 108 names for Devi, the Hindu goddess who embodies the feminine principle of the Universe. The name Manisha glorifies the Goddess' sharp intellect, genius, and sagacity.

In Sanskrit it also refers to the sublime state to which ancient sages aspired to reach. The concept is similar to Christianity's "where your mind is, there your heart will be also."

Alternately, some scholars hold that the name derives from Muni (term for revered ancient Indian sages) and Isha (the essence of the ultimate reward or the nirvana that sages meditate for forsaking all material and worldly wants). Put together means "that which the heart most deeply desires."

Another meaning of Manisha is daughter of mankind. In Hinduism, Manu was the first male created by God and a pious king. Manisha, derived from Manu, means a daughter that belongs to all mankind. Manisha has shown her love and peace to everyone. She has a strong feeling for Bad Meets Evil.

Quite intriguing... wouldn't you agree?

Life is too short -

I just came across this quote and it couldn't be more perfect. This is totally my mindset...

So stop thinking and stressing so much about the future, we are not there yet, start living for the present and you will feel a sense of improvement/fullfillment. Take it one day at a time because tomorrow is NEVER promised.

Cedars of Lake Eugenia

I had my first cottage experience this week for summer 2012. We stayed in Flesherton at the Cedars Lake of Eugenia and it was just perfect. The chalet was right off the lake and was very clean - bedrooms and bathroom was immaculate for cottage country standards. The drive up was a little over an hour and 15 minutes which was perfect.

The days were spent BBQing (yum) and consuming lots of wine (yum again). And no there was no drunkenness or a sloppy mess involved. Kayaking, fishing, paddle boating, and an intense game of ping pong, Foosball and monopoly (xmen edition). To which I dominated in 2/3. I can be very, almost overly competitive because winning is so much more cooler than losing and the self gratification is absolutely worth it.

I also spent my time, sitting on a chair, taking in some sun in my trendy pink leopard pj pants at the shore of the lake reading 50 Shades of Grey on my Blackberry Playbook. Sitting there, listening to the sounds of nature submerged in the book - so much peace and tranquility. Oh, life was perfect at that very moment.

 To end the nights, I sat out around the bonfire taking in the raw heat, watching the moon dip into the lake with the clear skies filled with billions of stars.

It was a quiet, fun, but mostly relaxing weekend!!

I would definitely revisit this cottage site.
