Strength of Interconnects
Sometimes what’s truly profound
Can be profoundly simple.
The strength of interconnects
Is about the strength in self support
In the world of design
What seems complex
Could be extremely simple.
In the way of interweave
In the intersection of the interconnects.
All is in the strength
In the sum of the intersections.

The Bridge of Safety
Leonardo Da Vinci’s Self Supporting Bridge. Leonardo Da Vinci was an artist, inventor and engineer in the 15th century. His vision and calibre of mind allowed him to comprehend the twin worlds of science and art; he has
often been described as the archetype of the “Renaissance man”, a man whose seemingly infinite curiosity was equalled only by his powers of invention . He was a master of innovation, ingenuity and engineering.
He invented the self supporting bridge sometime between 1485-1487 to be used as an emergency bridge for troops in times of war. This unique design is held together by its own weight without requiring any ties or connections, in fact when a downward force is applied to the structure the braced members are forced to interlock and tighten together through the structural concepts of shear and bending. Da Vinci called it “The Bridge of Safety”.
Strength of the soul
A glimpse of the intangible
Is often visible through signs
Like the strength of the soul
Appears in true forgiveness
In letting go of fear of failure
In ability to start all over again
In letting go of negativity
In ability to center the self
In letting go of revenge mentality
In the ability to share kindness
In sensing the lightness of being
In awareness of the bigger picture.
The strength of the soul shines through.

This Now
This now is a dance
Whirling in between
The then and the forthcoming
The sun moon and stars
Too make their presence felt
Swirling in their cosmic paths
This you is swaying to life
Listen keen as the sands sing
Hear the whistling winds
They like you have a reason to be
In this now being where they are
Just like you right here in this now.

Your choices, your way
Every thing that interests you
Every word that you choose to hear & say
Every book you choose to read
Every thing you choose to do
Every place you choose to be
Is an open book of yourself
Your choices come from you
You have it all within
In your choices is a dimension
Of your own truths.
Embedded with in you
Awaiting emergence.
You manifest your own way.

What about you?

On leadership.
Poignant truths to remember for all leaders
You are human and not a machine and so is your team.
You are here to lead, not here to be liked by all.
You will also make mistakes, and that is how you learn
You will adapt as you cannot control everything, some things are unavoidable and sooner you acknowledge it the better.
You will be challenged by a few in inexplicable ways , but these experiences will empower you.
Your teams will outgrow you in time, even if you have invested your all in them .
You will learn how to sustain in the letting go , that is the way of evolving with change.
And most of all the higher you climb the lonelier you will feel.
Be prepared to manage it.
The phase of blur
Between and betwixt
The light & dark
There is a phase of blur
Wherein clarity is embedded.
In this momentary distortion
The phase holds the potential
For infinite possibilities.
Awaiting its turn to appear
Blur may seem bleary,
But like a bud holds the bloom
Blur holds the moment of clarity.
Fear not the blur
It’s a transient phenomenon
Like all things
Change is the only constant.
An embodiment of uncertainty
Of the uncomfortable reality
Blur takes its time to clear
Like a foggy winters day.
It makes you imagine your truths
In the shadows of grey
Between the black & white
Blur may seem challenging
But it provokes perception
To decipher this dance of illusion & reality

With and within me
With me rests my choices
My focus and determination
My passionate dedication
To all that I can do.
Within me is a heart
Capable of kindness
And gratitude for limitless love…
With capacity to forgive.
Within me is the spirit of will
And effort to do my best
With all I have in self belief
And the strength of perseverance.
With me is my ability
To set my boundaries
Express in my own way
That I am enough for me.

Self Healing
Head to toe
Toe to head
Breathe it out
Let it go..
Heal overwhelm
Heal overthinking
Heal your heart
Heal yourself
In the mixed bag of lides emotions
Some get felt a little too deeply
Embedding itself into the psyche.
And affecting thoughts & actions
Emotions too need release
Unshackle to let go and free up
Cut the cord of emotions
Before they overwhelm you.
Find some time to breathe it out
To process and reflect & let go
To exhale the unwanted emotions.
And heal your heart .

Feeling peaceful
What makes me feel peaceful ?
Just spending time with our little furball combing his long coat every other day makes me feel peaceful.
A little moment every now and then writing my thoughts down feels peaceful
Spending time alone witnessing the stillness of the breath or practicing Qi Gong in the garden with green trees for company makes me feel peaceful.
Meditative moments especially at home in front a Buddha statue makes me feel peaceful.
Painting and dancing without an agenda, on my own, whenever I wish to, makes me feel peaceful.
But most of all…
Living in the now, without too many expectations makes me peaceful ✌️
What makes you feel peaceful?

Question yourself
Question your emotion.
Every emotion you are feeling has a connection to an experience.
Here is a little exercise that can help you understand your emotions and feelings as well as shift perspectives to positive thinking.
As and when, you observe your emotions, ask yourself a few questions. And as the answers come to you, write it down in your own words.
Fear : A base instinct that sometimes gets the better of us and makes living difficult.
Ask yourself, what is this fear?
Then ask yourself, what can I do to get to step beyond this fear?
And how can I address this objectively? Write it down.
Shame : Question yourself why and where did you feel inadequate in meeting set expectations?
Then ask who has set the expectations and work how you can grow beyond this limiting experience in expectation.
Guilt : Ask yourself if you have inner conflicts of values that’s bothering you. Your guilt trips are often deeply connected to your actions that crossed over your ingrained values. Reflect on on understanding yourself.
Sadness : Often sadness has an unfulfilled expectation or loss attached. Question what they are and then work on inculcating a regular practice of journalling your feelings. Additionally find a way to connect with dear caring friend with a listening attitude and share from your heart. It helps.
Anxiety : Question the self to check if what makes you anxious is within your line of control. It will clarify whether worrying helps at all…and helps you attend to that which you can do something about
Envy : Going green with envy is all about your unmet goals or aspirations and unfulfilled desires. Question your self , can I make this envy work for me to acheive my personal goals. Can my envy motivate me instead .Refraining helps .
Frustration Question what do I can so deeply about that I feel this way.
What will I stand to lose and how can I go about future proofing or safeguarding it in my capacity for it .
Anger : Questioning the root cause of anger will often throw light on an invasion of personal space imagined or real.
Objective reflection helps understand what boundaries have been encroached or eroded upon.
The shift of perspectives through self reflection, gives you a moment of clarity . It makes you sense possibilities beyond the obvious. This shift of thinking bridges gaps between different cultures, generations, creates openness, restores relationships and renews hope if you care. For you begin to reframe and understand emotions and able to manage it better.
