The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
I read this book "The Alchemist" many years back. Written by Paulo Coelho. On the first read it was just a story. The second day the way the climax looped to the beginning of the book felt amazing. After a few days the book had a deeper thinking impact. Triggered a series of thoughts on how it links to the series of incidents in life. How the present actually links to a past incident!!!!
This book had skipped my mind...thought of adding this to my list. Better late than never!! :P

Christianity revealed by Master Choa
I finished reading this book 3 days back.
Such intricate understanding of the teachings of Christianity revealed in such simple words.... I have no words to appreciate the transformation this book has brought. I need to read it many more times... Probably watch Master Co's video on this book can further fine tune my understanding.

Etheric Double by Author E Powel
Finish reading this book on 12th Feb 2017!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember having borrowed this book from a friend in 2002. I found the subject so complex that I returned the book after reading...orrrr I should say after glancing the first 2 pages.
After 15yrs thankfully my mind has matured to understand and appreciate this wonderful book. I love the "to the point" approach in the book. I enjoyed reading every chapter. The insights were amazing. Impact on my healing approaches are yet to be explored. I definitely appreciate the teachings of my Guru with greater respect and gratitude.
I liked the chapter on Death the most. I found it very impactful. The Inner reflection technique from Master Choa is such an impacting method to prepare for the best moment of life.
Just to add a few words on this chapter...: Death is more like our Sprint Retrospection. As per the book, when the physical life is about to end...in those last few minutes, the soul retrospects the life. Every thought and emotion produced in life, every activity and words will flash pass. The soul tries to understand what has been the predominant thought and influence of the incarnation. Lessons learnt are documented and an affirmation made to rectify the mistakes and carry forward the good learnings to the next life.
Why wait for the death? Why not prepare for the moment to review life on a regular basis? Why not affirm to rectify the mistakes and strengthen the virtues? Regular basis can even be Daily....Hopefully what flashes at death will probably be the positive affirmations and that could probably make death more peaceful and less or no guilt to carry forward!! :)
The book is worth reading...I have 2 more A.E Powell books to read. For now I will switch to a non spiritual book. Just to strike a practical balance in the thought process of life.

Rain Country Resort, Waynad
2 nights stay at the Rain Country Resort in Waynad.
Not sure if it was worth the cost. The resort is surrounded by beautiful mountains, forest and plantations. But the over all service was not upto the mark. Here is a quick review and some beautiful pics:
Pros:
Scenic view
There are mountains on all four sides of the resort with thick trees.
All the cottages and rooms have beautiful view
The rooms are spacious with king size cots and beds.
Food is good.
Both veg and non veg are served. I am a vegetarian so I can't comment on the quality of the non-veg food.
Coffee, tea, breakfast and snacks are part of the package.
The chef was very friendly. My little nephew was with us. They cooked additionally for him without any fuss.
The food was served generously with a smile. I liked the helpers around. Friendly people. Kudos.
The roads from B'lore to Waynad are in good condition. It was a smooth drive.
We pass through the forest area so the air is fresh and nature is beautiful
Cons:
The room hygiene was not upto the mark.
The path from the main road to the resort was risky...unless you are skillful enough to handle it. The path is extremely narrow and steep on the edges. It would be best to inform the resort contact person to send a driver down to the school gate at the main road to drive you up the resort and drop you back to the same point
There is no pool as falsely mentioned on their website. Its a natural pond. With algae, water snake and lots of fishes. So no swim suit required....I mean you cant swim in that pool.
Indoor games....Again a wrong term....only one game: Carom
Outdoor game!!! No idea.
Children play area....its all rusted.
You have no options to go out to any restaurant. So the 3 different packages offered are fake. You have to eat only in the resort. The kitchen in the resort serves only buffet so no option to order and eat. So make your bookings accordingly.
Nevertheless if you are looking for a relaxed weekend....just watch the beautiful nature....this is a good option. We felt 2 nights were are also too long....so I suggest, don't even think of week long stays. You will get bugged and frustrated.
You may try Kerala Ayurvedic Massage. Might be good....but depends...no assurance...
