 Lessons From Nature
Lessons from Nature…
The sand on the beach implores you to walk slow…
To watch the waves as the cool breeze blows.
To move with ease, sensing the strength at bay
To see the precious gifts nature has strewn across your way.

An Award NominationÂ
I have been conferred with ‘The Sunshine Blogger Award’ on WordPress by Siddharth Dua . Link to his blog. http://www.obsoletereality.com.
From the little I know of Siddhartha, what emerges is his consistent supportive and encouraging nature to his fellow bloggers. He is a true conversationalist which reflects very well in his writings. I wish him all the very best in his life as well as his writing endeavours.
Here are my answers to Siddharths questions…
What brings you to blogging?
The simple joy of reading and writing….My need to express and share my thoughts where it would find readers who will share likewise.
Who is the most important person in your life?
My immediate family is very important to me in equal measures.
What are your fitness goals and how you plan to achieve them?
My fitness goals are to be active every day ,long enough to break into a healthy sweat, that keeps me healthy and at ease body and mind.
Money according to you is?
Is a necessity but not everything.
Will you invest in stocks or FDs?
Not a stocks player for sure!
If you had millions of dollars would you still be working in the same organization that you are presently working.
I work for myself and thus I know it is a privilege that can allow me to do all that can and want to …so perhaps if I had all that money I would do more to make that money work for me in ways I want it to.
Have you ever been depressed in life?
We all have our highs and lows in life but thankfully have ‘Dancing’ to turn towards whenever I need a spring in my steps.So have managed just fine so far.đ
Do you think there a stigma attached in going to a psychiatrist?
Not any more. Glad that there is a lot more acceptance on taking help when needed for mental health issues in India.
Have you ever suffered from insomnia, if yes what you did about it?
Sleep doesn’t elude me … Nor do I elude it. We are fine friends whenever and as much required.đ Being a morning person. I do prefer to sleep early as much as possible.

On Thoughts … Part 2
This morning I wrote down a few thoughts ….’On tboughts’ and shared and just a while ago I was pleasantly surprised by some lovely afterthoughts shared by my dear mother almost immediately on Whatsapp.
I share her jotted thoughts here as part 2:
On Thoughts
Thoughts are the doorways that connect our inner and outer world. As we walk along this path it leads us along the physical ,material world filled with varied emotions, feelings and desires. It connects us with our past, bring back the forgotten memories and our reaction depends on what it mirrors. It has the power to make us sad, angry, or happy. Like an expert master it rules our emotions. A happy moment can turn sour when it brings an unwanted, unneeded or unconnected memory back which is followed by a volley of unnecessary words and arguments which can make the whole scene bitter, thereby sowing the seed for another set of reactions in another time frame.
On blooming thoughts .
It is a magical weaver. It has the potential to jump from past to future in a fraction of a second. It’s speed surpasses the fastest speed known to us. It has the power to take us to the dream world idling for hours together.
In the the ocean of time it’s waves are endless. We become playing clay in its hands moulding our moods as it wants.
In short our thoughts rule us. Like an obedient slave we obey its whimsical command forgetting our true potential. The wise souls understood this.With their deep knowledge they have shown us various ways to take command of our thoughts n tame them. Like a circus ringmaster in the midst of wild animals we should be in constant awareness to lead our thoughts, and observe their moves.
Similar to a focussed traveller who never strays from his path how much ever alluring the sceneries on his way, elluding the perils in his path goes steadfast to reach his destination, we should train ourselves not to be distracted by the flow of thoughts. We can never stop its flow, as it is natural, but can train our mind not to react to each and every word. Let’s be a witness, never become a part. Let’s keep proceeding with the companionship of positivities like kindness, compassion, selflessness, humility and gratitude. Let’s make this journey beautiful.
Come, let’s walk together in harmony guiding each other positively, as we reach our individual goals and collective aspirations.

On ThoughtsÂ
Our thoughts can make or break us in every now.. and our life seems like a hell or a blessing in the way our thoughts unfold . Every life has a unique purpose and a perseveres on with the thoughts to fulfill its being .
A transition in thoughts is an expansive phenomena in continuity . It courses on even in attempted conquering of thoughts through control or manipulation of its meanderings into an intentional channeling in consciousness.
Every thought carries weight of our feelings and emotions and vis versa. The purpose of sensing recognising identifying defocussing and letting go all can be a liberating process .The power of being a witness to your own thoughts is a learning that can help transcend our limiting beliefs and assumptions. Often practised in the many self awareness programs when practised with dedication and imbibed as a way of life, they are great tools in human evolution .
Transcending thoughts is never easy as it is truly a choice and practise as thoughts come and go ..the patterns we choose to create with, through and in them, makes one consciously or subconsciously a sculptor of ones life. And through every exercise of such a choice we leave a mark in time. That said yet, when we choose to make our presence felt and how we emerge will all figure out along the way in the strength of an interrelation of thoughts in interdependence.
What are your thoughts on this?
Do feel free to share.

Travel Trails: Musings from ‘At the Top’.
Meandering the Middle East : Part I
Dubai : The modern marvel
Musings from ‘At the Top ‘
Constructed on these once very red dunes
A spectacle for the world to see
Is the height of pinnacle of man’s quest
For higher greater and further…
In the heart of Modern Arabia
Stands the Burj Khalifa a marvel of man.
And as I stand on top of it this evening
In awe and wonder I am drawn
More to admiring the ingenuity
Of men who made it stand and shine.
Behind the glamour of its sparkling glass & lights
And the elegant sheen of its metallic constructs
For me what stood out was that
It stands strong in spite of its ridiculous heights
A labour of co-creation in collaboration
As the sweat and brains of many nations
Whose ingenuity built this structure
A majestic piece of human engineering …
The worlds tallest building.
At the top with its panoramic view…
Across the sunsets and the curving horizon
That blurs into oblivion.
While the betwitching landscape enthralls
I am watching the horizon fade away
My eyes fall on the shimmering sunlight
On the red dunes beckoning me…
And across the distance tideless sea so invitingly blue.
Stepping back to ground in a minute or so…
You are brought back into one of the largest mall Dubai Mall that withstands and supports the entire structure .
In all an amazing experience of gleaming glass the allure of metal and the glitzy glamorous spaces.
At the Top of the Burj Khalifa the tallest man-made structure in the world is a one of a kind experience indeed .
Night view from the Burj Khalifa
An expansive evening view of the horizon curving towards you greets you and the enthralling lights of Dubai by Night is a treat indeed .
My night vision from the Top of the World
The lights dazzle the senses and perhaps more oft than not, even the most earthy traveler is left struck at first sight by the sparkle of the city.
…Although truth be told I am left wondering the necessity of such dazzling displays of opulence and materialism which is symbolic of the very modern Downtown Dubai.
Perhaps such are the stakes when a city develops so rapidly and begets names like the City of Gold , City of the Future as even the City of Dreams and boasts of the largest landmarks and sets a global standard in lifestyle as it continues to develop its infrastructure and works at providing excellent opportunities for cosmopolitan life and living with an unbelievable 80% of its population being of foreign origin making its culture a melting pot of different nationalities. And that in all is truly a stellar example of the strength of the interconnects in the interdependence .

Contd in Part 2 …The Meet and the Greets
Empathy Matters.
Empathy is seeing with another, listening to another, and acknowledging them as they are in a non-judgmental way.
It is being with another, sensing their feelings, and caring enough to reach out with support through words, actions, and deeds.

Thoughts for every day!
Beautiful thoughts make a beautiful day… Savvy
Whenever we are able to see beyond the physical characteristics and see the reason why a person behaves the way they do , and strive to be the best we can be , we are attuning ourselves to the divinity in and around us ….
Harmony beckons… BRINGING PEACE , JOY AND ABUNDANCE

On LegacyÂ
On Leaving a legacy …
A life lived in expression of one’s passion
A life lived in dedication and devotion.
A life lived sensing the spirit of being alive.
A life spent enriching others as much as ones own.
A life lived like that is ever blessed in grace
For wherever the soul resides
It is always shining in eternal light.
Savvy
Had written these verses on hearing an account of the journey of a life well lived …. nurturing a life of goodness and generating goodwill .
Feel compelled to share this with my readers and ask what would you think is a true legacy? … and most importantly have you seen or influenced by someone following such a path upclose.
Do share your thoughts…
