It all started with a conversation with one of my dance students of many years. She was going through some life changing challenges. And she poured her heart out.
This episode is inspired from that heartful conversation, I had with her on the many varied situations that confront us all and some perspectives I shared, on managing the self through the challenges.

On doing good
You do good
You go the right way
You speak the right language
You live righteously
You choose the right approach
You are kind and compassionate
You act with integrity
But life happens to you
Situations experiences
Circumstances and events
Through you into a maze
Of confusion and chaos
Just like any other
You are left wondering why
Why me, when I keep choosing the good?
Now that’s your turning point
The point of saturation
When light dawns on you.
Life is not transactional
It is transformational.

Life takes us many paths
We walk many roads
We experience many bumps
We feel this too shall pass
And wait for the better.
But what if we realize
The bumps and boulders
That come in our path
Are the pathways for clarity
They are the kind of roads
We have to pass through
To become who we are.
Everything has a reason
Nothing is accidental
So next time you find
A bump on the path
Acknowledge the wisdom
That it brings along
In the path towards clarity.
If these lines resonate with you and you would like to listen to more such reflections on life’s subtle wisdom and find meaning that every day moments offer, feel free to tune in to my podcast The Path Of Clarity on Spotify.
It is a work in progress, yet I look forward to reading your responses and learning more.

Space.
Space allows.
Space that expands
Space that acknowledges you.
Space that lets you be.
Space that opens up for you
Space that speaks to you in you.
Space that listens as it speaks
Space that evolves you
Space for growth and learning
Space that liberates
Space frees
Space.
I wrote this piece in a flow…
In a space of calm.
I enjoyed writing it as I began playing with space in and around the poem unknowingly at first but then intentionally after the sixth line. As I patterned the flow… I began channeling my thoughts …in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 6, 5, 4, 3,2,1 words.
I hope you enjoy reading it.

Conscious compassionate thoughts within become embedded in the core structure of the being, and what is powered from a strong core radiates outwards with the magnitude of faith and strength.”
Savvy
Its presence needs a little wait,
In both patience and perseverance.
To envision the mighty rays
Dawn of its true potential.
In lighting the hearts
Aflame in purpose.
This poem aims to reflect the dawn, by beginning slowly to depict the stillness that precedes the dawn and like an inhale, generate the light building up to dawn and then accelerate to the brilliance of sunshine… hope you enjoy reading it.

If you could turn the key to a door that opens up to a place somewhere right now…
Where does your imagination take you?
Near mountains
Near water sources
Green spaces
Or spiritual spaces
Or somewhere where your heart is calling out?
What is your favourite kind of place?
Or is your desire to stay
Wherever you are,
Stronger than anything else?
Sometimes in the middle of movements there is a desire for stillness
In the middle of hectic days…
For the quietness of calm.
And sometimes amidst silence
There is much going on…
The mind is steering the wheel
Both movement and stillness
Are part of the journey.
And the desire to drive on
Explore discover the world
And what it has to offer
Is something that happens
To evolve every life.
Savvy
Take time to see beyond
To care and be considerate,
To be kind and compassionate,
To wonder and stay curious.
Take time to learn and explore,
To read and discover another,
To revere the precious now,
To stay grateful for every moment.
For life moves forward
As clocks tick relentlessly,
With no respite…
So choose to reclaim time.
Take time for, and with, the self.
To live lovingly than just exist.
Savvy
Clear lines
Not walls that break
But gates that define
Your edges in space
And anothers beginnings.
Setting a boundary
Creates safety & value
And is respectful to one another.
Be it your time & energy
Or for mental stability
Protecting personal space
Creates a sense of peace.
Truth is relationships are healthier in the long run with clear lines that protect your own unique sense of space, privacy & comfort levels.
In professional relationships often the fear of conflicts, or being misunderstood as unempathetic, can make people skip setting them early on only to find themselves challenged.
Actually, setting healthy boundaries is an act of clarity…
What do you think?

Every decade teaches …
At ten
Life is innocence
At twenty
Life is discovery
At thirty
Life is pursuit
At forty
Life is awareness
At fifty
Life is experiences
At sixty
Life is expansion
At seventy
Life is inclusion
At eighty
Life is rememberence
At ninety
Life is grace
At hundred & plus
Life is a testament
Of a lifetime lived.
Yet life is in this now…
Live life lovingly.
PS : A simple take on life so far, and in witnessing life & the living around me. I know life cannot be summed up in a word and there is much I want to add for every decade… moreover some words I have described may be experienced earlier or later.
So to each their own…

Whatever it is, the wisdom that changed you,
Will one day make you give away, what it taught you.
Your’ Personal Growth ‘lies in these moments of your receiving and giving.
For then you are evolving and fine tuning yourself under the guidance of divine intervention.
Trust your journey.
Listen to intuitive self
As it speaks from the depth of your souls calling and knowing.
And remember through it all, every step of the way, you are inching closer to your true purpose.
Savvy
Draw open the curtains of your heart
Open yourself to sense the light that you are
Let go of the unnecessary density that’s clouding you
Shine in the freshness of spirit
Choose to forgive yourself first for follies
Then choose to forgive the foibles in others
To live in the lightness of being…
See each other in good light
And every time you choose to do so
Know all is for the better.
Savvy Raj
Imagine a space
Of freedom from time
Where there is no rut of routine
Where the heart speaks
And you listen.
Where moments are lived
And life is not just existence.
Imagine a place of timeless wonder
Of obliviousness and abandon
Where freedom is in your spirit
And your life, a living verse.
What would you do with the day
If you find such a place on earth?
Savvy
Chase not the small mindedness
Choose abundance and growth.
Chase not dreams of lack
Choose to envision & think big.
Chase not, the power to control
Choose influence over authority
Chase not, the path of doubts
Choose to trust and be trustworthy.
Chase not the road of ambiguity
Choose to show up with clarity
Chase not, the frivolous trivialities
Choose well to build a legacy
In living life lovingly. ✨️
Savvy
Trust is what holds us together
Faith leads our way
Belief begets action
Hope brings limitless optimism
Care creates consideration
Truth brings credence.
Love bonds boundlessly
Each creates the values of being.
