At Seva Cafe, we serve with the spirit of "Atithi Devo
Bhava" which translates to "The Guest is God," a deep and ancient
Indian view that honors each guest with reverence. We're all used to the
concept of offering a meal to family or a friend who visits our home,
but at Seva Cafe, we extend this generosity to a stranger we don't even
know. The guests are told we trust them to accept this gift and pay
forward the generosity so that this experiment can continue.
When you dine at Seva Cafe, you are not viewed as a customer, but instead as our treasured guest, as part of our family.
Seva means service. When immersed in the heart of Seva, one finds a
pathway to the Divine, and its this connectedness to which we ultimately
aspire. Volunteering at Seva Cafe is a conscious exercise in staying
tuned to that deep and true space of genuine service.
As more
participate in the joy of giving, the more the experiment thrives. It
begins with a single gift: first given, then received... multiplied, and
given again, in a growing chain of kindness and care. We hope this
Circle of Giving leaves you feeling more nourished, and inspired to
carry the experiment forward.
All costs and income are made transparent, and 100% of any profits are used to support social service projects!
Paradigm Shift is super-excited to invite for Seva Cafe- 16th November, 2014 @13:00pm. Do come and be our guest!

Laughs aside, firstborn is showing extremely, impressive progress and fascination with his Maths now. Accolade and thanks to the program "Come N Learn".
Read all about " Come N Learn" right from the founder/ pro educator Ms. Geetha Narasimhan.
ComeNLearn’s Math Program
ComeNLearn is a unique supplemental education program designed for students in the grade range PreSchool to 12th grade.It helps students to excel in school. It also helps them to get ready for standardized tests like STAR, PSAT, SAT and ACT.
The education is based on Instruction in the classroom and Practice at home.
It helps develop Math expertise at a self-paced speed, through completing well-designed workbooks, spending 20-30 minutes each day.
Students attend two 30 minute classes per week and complete workbooks six days a week. (No work assigned for instruction day). Work is graded by instructors and/or assistant instructors. Parents need not grade.
Math workbooks contain both arithmetic and story problems*(*starting grade 2).
Math workbooksare also equipped with lessons and examplesto enable self-learning and reinforce an independent work ethic.
Daily practice leads to solid understanding and competence in performing basic numerical operations.
Daily practice also leads to speed in solving numeric problems.
Instruction classes are taught by an experiencedinstructor.Here, students participate in an interactive session alongside other students in the same (or adjacent) work level. Students learn by seeing sample questions being solved and by answering verbal questions designed to increase understanding.
Story problems develop logical skills and help with application of numerical concepts learnt to do real problems.
Starting grade 2 there are many story problems along with numerical problems which help students learn logical concepts for problem solving in addition to arithmetic.
PSAT/ACT/SAT problems are occasionally included in the workbooks in gradual measure starting from grade level 4.
Each grade level has a Level Completion test.Students are expected to achieve95% or better in the test to proceed to the next grade level.
Students can graduate to several grade levels higher than their current grade level at school as they progress in the program.
The Curriculum
ComeNLearn workbooks contain material designed to track the State of California School Syllabus and develop the students’ skills in tasks expected by the State of California curriculum for the various grades.
It is comprehensive in covering the type and range of problem solving expected of students in each grade level.
The material learnt in ComeNLearn is directly applicable to performance in school and in standardized tests.
Students start in the program based on performance in one or more level completion tests. No “artificially low” or “too easy starting point” will be required.
The fees
The program is designed to be very affordable. There is a startup/registration fee of $25. The monthly tuition ranges from $85- $110 per subject per student. The tuition is dependent upon the ComeNLearn grade level the student is in.

Contact us to discuss special catering menu. We can make your event that much more special."
On popular demand: The company would soon start making/distributing rotis on pre-order basis .
My personal note to Food lovers: Have tasted the food catered by Bhavani at the SDTS Diwali and Pongal celebrations- can vouch its tasty, cooked neatly and presented orderly.
The kitchen counters are shining, bathrooms gleaming and carpets perfect.
Thanks to my house keeper Dalia, my home would remain a clean haven ; until of course the boys establish their territory with cookie crumbs and jello prints.
My housekeepers are a mom & daughter team who clean houses and apartments in San Diego. She has my highest recommendation- does a sincere and clean job, and keeps her appointments in a timely manner.
Here's her number and email id to request appointments/pricing:
