Shanghai Calling

Hello Readers,

WordPress has been a great source of support for not only writing away our thoughts and seeing it pick traction. But also in bringing the world just a bit more closer together through these mere words. Such is the power of words.

My earlier travels have been interspersed with interesting personas that I had a chance meeting with and many have become wonderful friends for life.

I am planning to travel to Shanghai China for the first time on work soon. Would love to know if you know or there is anyone from that city here on WordPress. Would be happy to connect if so.

If you have anything that you can share on Shanghai I would be glad to hear more.

In goodwill and gratitude

When Kindness Speaks

On World Kindness Day

A Share of kindness…

When kindness speaks

It leaves heartprints

No words are needed

When kindness speaks

All is conveyed in the sensing.

When kindness speaks

A bond is created

That unites us beyond ourselves

When kindness speaks

The world is bettered.

On Speaking & Hearing

When you speak, the words are yours and the thoughts are sent outwards, so choose your words…

When you hear, the words are others and thoughts are inwards, so think positively!

Let Go…

abstract art blur bokeh
Learn to live for this moment.
Do not take the residue with u.
Let it pass, You just carry on.
Another moment is there to live and let go.
The residue comes with us as happy and sad memories of the past and most of our life we dwell and chew on them and act accordingly.

Observe life with detachment, with the understanding that nothing is permanent.
Change is the nature of the universe, so that the cycle continues.
The atoms in the whole universe keep on changing, what you experience is also gone along with that.
Then why burden the self with all the memories, just let it go.
Feel and experience the new atoms with each changing moment.
Feel light as there is no burden You are carrying.
The more you carry, the more dense and tense you become.
Leave it.
Lighter you become and it will help you to see the light of liberation.

A few reflections from my mothers’ writings.


Sweet tooth?

East or west Sweets are the best!

This festive season brought along chocolates from Switzerland and Indian mithai competing with each other… Yummy and delicious indeed! Personally, am a huge fan of dark chocolates and the Indian dry fruits sweets which are some of my favourites any day.

Just curious
What would you pick?

Are you a fine chocolate connoisseur
Or a fan of mouthwatering rich Indian Sweets?

With an array of delicately balanced delectables on the table….

What’s your choice?

A few facts and figures

Recycling Plastic

Do you know that

1 ton of plastic trash can save 5774 kWh of electricity, 3114 litres of oil, and 3000 litres of water!! Plastic recycling has the potential of unthinkable benefits.

Just don’t throw your used plastic bottles away – causing environmental pollution!

Reducing water wastage

  • Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. …
  • Turn off the tap while washing your hands. …
  • Fix your leaking taps. …
  • Water
  • Head to the car wash.

Reuse

One example of conventional reuse is the doorstep delivery of milk in reuseable bottles; other examples include the retreading of tires and the use of returnable/reusable plastic boxes, shipping containers, instead of single-use corrugated fiberboard boxes.

 

 

Here is a very relevant and simple test to check your environmental awareness and learn about how we go green…

Seeing beyond

Beautiful thoughts make the person beautiful!

Spare a thought in consideration.

Whenever we are able to see beyond the visible characteristics and understand the reason why a person behaves the way they do, we are attuning ourselves to the divinity in and around us…

Harmony beckons.

PEACE, JOY AND ABUNDANCE.

Effortless grace

Effortless grace is visible in a dancer,

Who even in the dynamics of great extensions in flexibility

Can manifest great ease and subtlety.

Life is…

Life is both simple and sufficient
Simplicity is hidden
In the clutter and complexity
Sufficiency is hidden
In the grace of gratitude.

Life is strengthened in stability and flexibility.

Stability is hidden
In the chaos and confusion
Flexibility is hidden
In the flow of the structure.

Life is nourished in empathy and compassion.
Empathy is hidden
In the sensing and understanding
Compassion is hidden
In the actions from the heart.

Life is nurtured in Care

Caring is hidden
In love & in goodwill.

Life is a maze of the mysterious
Life is challenging yet resilient.

Life is full of wisdom in the challenges
But wisdom is hidden
In the very truth of life and living.

Life is a puzzle that awaits solution. The solution is found in simply living it.

The Slow Roast…

The Slow Roast….

Need for stringent action!

There is a good amount of data emerging that people are suffering, to various degrees, from living next to cell phone towers and other high-frequency radiation emitting antennas, which emit microwaves around the clock.

According to Professor Franz Adelkofer, a leading scientist in the area of biological effects of EMF fields:

“There is real evidence that hyper frequency electromagnetic fields can have geno-toxic effects. And this damaged DNA is always the cause of cancer.

We’ve found these damaging effects on the genes at levels well below the safety limits. That’s why we think it’s urgent to base our safety limits on the biological effects, not the thermic ones.

They should be based on biology, not on physics.”

There are many mindless advances in technology without ethical considerations, care or concern for human welfare.

It is simple knowledge that with 5G the Roast is turning to Burn… so many researchers agree upon this with documents to support it . And yet the common man is helpless in the face of lurking dangers of modern technologies.

There is so much more than meets the eye when it comes to the topic of radiation and the sources are growing exponentially.

We are being bombarded with wi fi signals and Electro Magnetic frequencies more than we know wherever we are in the world today!.

Not only airports or malls our offices our markets and entertainment zones but also our own homes have become dangerous for our wellbeing.

Where do we go ? What is the answer?

What are your thoughts on this?

Art of Patience & Calm

Commune with the very depth of your being
Connect with your own breath
Combine with your inate sense of calm
Coexist with nature as it truly is
Cohabit with the element of balance.
Counter the imbalance with patience.

Time settles it all
The key is in waiting
For the perfect moment
Allowing the winds to blow
Chaos plays precursor to stillness
It is the nature of the circle of life.
Sounds reign before silence
Movements arise before stillness

Remember all is in flow
Equilibrium is in the equanimity
Maintaining is the art of sustenance
Let go the expectations
Things fall into place
As they are meant to .

The art of stacking or stone piling is a gift of patience and a grace of thankfulness. Every stone stacked can signify a greater intention, giving into a larger purpose. Although I personally feel we must be careful about this art by not leaving any trail marks in nature, forests as these imprints may confuse or can alter signals for many animals living there. But having said that this art is peaceful and the practice of it can be healing as well.

Creativity is challenged by patience in waiting, giving way to balance in the flow.

Have a look at these amazing artworks by this very famous stone stacking genius.

Stone Stacking Genius

One thing is very certain, it surely can teach us much about creating calm.

Rise Again

A few musings from my mother’s heart that I feel like sharing here today!

When we walk along the path of roses, thorns are unavoidable.
It doesn’t mean we stop walking. Remove the thorns from our way and proceed further
It may hurt. But It won’t last. Let’s keep going.

Life is like a seesaw
It keeps going and down.
The fall and climb are parts of the life. Fret not if our efforts don’t yield results.
The seed needs its own time
To grow into a tree,
The buds to blossom as fragrant flowers,
The fruits and grains, to ripe to nourish
Yet till then they need all the care and nurture
So do our dreams, take its own time n
our continuous effort to become reality.

Waves fall to rise again
Leaves fall to bring
spring again
Day falls to bring a new dawn again

Arere we not a part of Nature?
We may fall, be sure we will rise again
Our dreams are the seed.
Our patience is the time
Our hard work is the nurture
Our Faith and Hope, the nourishment.

Success is waiting to be reaped.


Realms of the heart

Beyond words… are the realms of the heart!

Our cellular awareness is trained to transmit messages through feelings that convey where words fail. It is embedded within our conscious awareness to guide us from inside out. Many of our beliefs in trust, faith and hope are powered in and from this core of our consciousness. 


In this understanding is the reason for the purpose of why we do what we do, why we feel the way we feel, have an instinctual sensation of the direction of where a path leads to. In the confluence of creativity in connection & compassion, there is confidence emanating through our deeds.


When we lead from here, many of our so-called equations held through by analysis often fail to make much sense.

When we follow in faith we move in synchrony with ourselves as we are not just in a flow, we are the flow.
