Hello! I am Sonam, an amateur photo journalist, trying to cover interesting stories with my photographer friend, who was fuming in paranoia waiting for me.  Interesting sights is what inspires us; while she tries to capture them all, I try to build a story around it.

Breaking all my inhibitions, ditching the free ladies night and with the enthusiasm of trying some break-through workout form, I finally warded off my laziness and jumped in enthusiastically to go for my very first  class of Bikram yoga a.k.a hot yoga or popularly known as Hatha yoga. Indeed a very hyped and much  talked about form of yoga offlalate.  Though being engendered from India, it is more popular overseas  and growing its popularity in Asian countries currently. Bikram Yoga originated in 1970’s, brought to  light by Bikram choudhury, the founder of Bikram Yoga. The process involves practicing yoga in a room enabled with 105* Fahrenheit (40*C humidity) with 26 different  postures, not very difficult, but in a room so hot it feels as tough as climbing a mountain.  Immediately after class The class begins with breathing exercise (pranayam) involving inhaling and exhaling deeply and correctly to bring in fresh flow of oxygen...
