2. Aditya Raheja
Aditya Raheja is a
man-in-the-making. In
school he wanted to
be many things - a
sportsman (he played
extensive tennis at
The International
School of Geneva), a
pilot ("every boy's
fantasy") and an
archaeologist.
3. Archeology was born
out of his love for
history and travel. This
love for the outdoors
has also translated
into a love for the
martial arts,
something Aditya
practices five days a
week. He wakes up at
4:30 am every
morning to practice,
and for his art, he's in
bed by 10 every night.
4. The martial arts have definitely become a part of his life
philosophy: In response to my question on what power is, he
smiles and says "Nothing permanent." And yet, he admits he
loves the good life.
5. • "I was originally a student of only kung fu and was enjoying
the hard form. Gradually my teacher introduced me to some
basic exercises in tai chi. I had read about tai chi earlier and
hence took it up with a lot of enthusiasm. I had read tai chi is
capable of curing diabetes, osteoporosis and many other
diseases which western medicine could only contain, it was
said that in a situation where one has to defend oneself, one
can use ones opponents energy to neutralize him. I discovered
tai chi to be so much more than that. Tai Chi for me is a way of
life, a philosophy of living. The principles of tai chi if used in
ones life can lead to a virtually stress free life.
6. Its no coincidence that when one's tai chi practice is going
well, one can feel a natural flow and rhythm to ones
life. Tai Chi has a given me a much improved sense of balance
and teaches you to stay focused even during the most
extreme and pressured events. Even after the most tiring
days, just a few forms of tai chi bring your energy levels back
up. Tai Chi for me has truly become a way of life."
