Another lot of students are moving on to new countries, new jobs, and new adventures. It is I who remains here. I find Malaysia a very transient country. There is a lot of movement to and fro.  I am trying to remember some of my Yoga students who have moved on from long ago. Faces and countries appear.  It is a constant letting go.

As an “immigrant” I had my share of good-byes. I thought it might get easier over the time. However the process of letting go is over and over to be learnt anew. A few years back when the good-byes became too painful I decided not to get involved with “people on the move” anymore. But then I realized that I would miss out on real amazing friendships. Life is ever transient and besides there is no guarantee of anyone staying more than a life-time anyways.

I feel very fortunate that with each student who comes to my classes, with each person that enters my realm of life, I learn something new about myself. As I share what I love doing, I get enriched in so many different ways, thus the cycle of life is completed.
