A Great Leader Knows…

Great leaders know…
It’s about listening, observing identifying and then empowering & developing middle managers to be great leaders of tommorow.

It’s about rewarding people for the right reasons.
And understanding what gets people to work together.

And then creating and sustainable atmosphere for them to work well together.

It’s about finding time to understand the context of what is. And being able to not only envision the big picture but also project it with authenticity and powerfully so.

For in the many small moments of the day there appears many random tests for a leader.

Leadership is not about making everyone like each other. But about making them understand that it takes all of them to be a consistent and collaborative team players.

And most of all getting every one knowing why they are there and clarifying in simple words what the organization is trying to do.

There is a beautiful saying that goes…’ It’s not about having a team of stars
But about having a star team’

And great leaders create star teams…

Soul wisdom

Life is an expression of the soul…


The soul goes through life


Like a rough diamond that gets polished

The body & mind take a toll


Many times over in a lifetime.


To shine like a diamond does.


In the shaping & moulding


Through the experiences


Garnering wisdom in the living.

Learnings in the listening


I listened  to my heart
Every day
As it shares from within
And I write them out as words
Sometimes as verses
At times it’s measured
In moderation.
Its a zen moment
For there is clarity
In just a few words shared.

Then there are times
They flow like a river
A torrent in a current
Patterning itself
In its own making
Words come through me
As if it needs to be spoken
Sharing the sensitivity
Of the moments at hand.


I listen simply with rapt attention.
For in the slightest flutter
In every movement in the moments
Or the depth of silence.
There is always something more.

Walk in light

Why walk in shadows of dark
When light  is just around the bend.

Walk in light
If you can’t see the light
Find the light in you.

Trust your inner light to show you the way.
Love the light that you actually are!

Imprints of kindness

On Kindness
Kindle the kindness
It’s the springwell of love
For love is limitless
Kindness generates
Heartfelt abundance
From one to another
Creating magic in action
Be it in words thoughts or deeds.

That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
William Wordsworth

Leave imprints in kindness

Every word you say

Every where you go

Every act you do in kindness

Every tree you plant

Makes a difference

For it is busy saving the world.

Be kind stay kind

It’s possible.

What’s louder than words?

This world…
Needs no pity
That feels sorry
Nor sympathy
That feels pain.
For feeling sorry
Or sensing pain
Will not solve
The issues at hand.

What one life truly needs from another…
Is empathy
To understand and relate with one another.
And compassion
That cares to help heal.

Whenever wherever
the dialogue changes
From I feel sorry,
To I will help you
Because I care…
The world will be a better place.

For action speaks louder than words.

All at the right time.

There is a time and reason for every season
For if all the seasons manifested together
There would be calamity.

There is always a reason to things
To questions and answers

If every lifes purpose asserted itself in this now.
There would be no tommorow…
Life is meant to go on
To live and learn
To explore and discover
To hope and await
To look forward to…

So acknowledge the learnings that happen
In a lifetime…
All at the right time.

Perception

We are what we believe ourselves to be

Our perceptions make all the difference

To become what we begin to understand.

In the sands of time…

We are ours perceptions,

Illusive yet mattering in existence.

As life and living.

We are reflections in the illusions

As much as illusions in the reflections.

Life strings

We are strings of matter
Asserting ourselves in the giant spindle of time.

A string
Is meant to connect
It is also to be a bridge of bonding
Like a string of pearls
To string is to align with a purpose.

We are divinely connected in the subtler realms
To the infinite strings of matter.

Yet in the physical realm
We hold the strings to many
We pull these strings at times too lightly or forcefully
And what was meant to be for alignment ,  instead creates imbalances.

The strings we hold or latch onto
The strings that are passed into our hands
And the strings we want to control
All have a deep significance to the way we  were are,  we are and what our future will be…


Care to acknowledge our stringed existence in the interconnects.
Aspire to untangle the threads yet value the rootedness therein.


Aim to reach beyond the shackles of being
Unlearn to learn
Reach beyond knowing.

Life heals as its aligns and manifests the truth of its own potential.

Power of Water

Power of Water
Gentle yet forceful
Soft yet unstoppable
Focused no matter the fluidity
Carving streams eroding rocks
Strengthened in adaptability
Transformative in the flow.
Harness the power of the flow

A blessing in disguise

On Sensitivity

Every life is unique

And each of us on this planet

Have different personality traits

Our heart and mind is wired

In infinitely different ways.

An acknowledgment of the uniqueness to life

Makes us understand how valuable we each can be.

A little sensitivity goes a long way…

Although people cannot be compartmentalised

There are many ways nature and nurture impacts

Some hardened by life in resilience

Some suppress their emotions

Causing imbalances within

Some sensitive to sense the subtler energies

And Some who wear their heart on their sleeves

Expressing emotions and feelings away…

It can be challenging

For they also hurt easily.

For they sense a flood of emotions

They are often extremely receptive

As well as empathic in their sensing.

And often quick to understand

Perhaps they are blessed with subtlety

Of perception & awareness

With a highly developed intuition

For they are sensitive & emotional beings

They are who they are as they are.

Sensitivity can be blessing in disguise

Yet Sensitivity makes us humane

In the way we relate with the world

The planet needs sensitive souls

Who care a little more

Who sense and feel in empathic ways.

Let’s never discount this gift & virtue

In these sensitive souls.

For how we sense and feel

Affects what path and actions we choose to take.

And the world around is but a reflection of who we are

We are…

We are

Sprinkling of star dust

Sparkling from we are

We are meant to shine our light

In this beautiful world

For we are made of stars!

Healing is in letting go

On Letting go

If you are feeling upset

Let time pass

Hurts will heal again

If you are angry

Let there be pauses

Anger will recede in the silence

If you are defeated

Let yourself know

That the world is a circle

The night breaks into a new dawn

With promises of a blessed new day!

So stay patient in perseverance

And know every phase has a reason to be

Learn to forgive and let go

And as all is meant to be well once again.

Writing is often a very cathartic experience.

Sometimes people unknowningly say things that hurt or upset another.

Today was one of those days. I chanced upon one of my old poems on letting go in forgiveness and it made much sense. I was able to move beyond simply by acknowledging the truth in those verses.

I simply had to share…
