In a world so self obsessed
In a world so often neglected
In a world where time is always priced.
In a world where love comes with clauses
In a world of vulnerability of human frailties
It is so very important to awaken
In hope of transcending
With possibilities of good intentions
A prayer in hope of health and peace for the good of all!

Taking things easy…
The day we learn to be light and live in lightness and not take things so seriously, we start truly living.
After all the sun will rise and set in its own course, life will flow in the river of time, why not think of living it cruising along knowing nothing lasts forever.
Whenever life feels a little too weary..
Know tomorrow is another day
And there is always a sun awaiting to shine…

We often complicate things which are actually very simple.
Perhaps the idea of simplicity is embedded in the complexities
Our ways of life and living often weighs us down in density.
The simple life is seen to be difficult to sustain
We are drawn to searching for more ways of entrapment of our senses
That our views have become colored in the distractions.
The simple truths are submerged in the illusory facades.
Our perception changes with our attitude
The way we see things changes the way things are.

True learning happens when we realize we are the teacher and we are the student.
And life teaches the greatest lessons without anyone uttering a word or at times, in just the sheer presence of a good soul.
In every path is a learning awaiting an awakening in the acknowledgement.
Learning is never limited
It is endless and ever regenerating itself.

Its good to never let the things you want ,
Make you forget the things you have.
How about Practicing Gratitude as a way of being.
Making it a daily habit and a part of life and living.🙏

Awareness is unique in each of us.
In awareness, there is an expansion
Of horizons of understanding
Of potential possibilities.
Yet, awareness is also about subtlety
Of understanding and of approach,
Of what is beyond bounds.
An ability to keenly discern
What is better left unsaid.
Paradoxical truth of awareness —
Awareness is both the reason
For the light of wisdom
And the despair of knowing.
Awareness raises the bar
Of comprehension by nature.
What’s important is not tilting
The balance by one’s own doing
When awareness makes us most vulnerable
To commit the very error
That we may learn to steer away from.
Such is the paradox of awareness.
Savvy
Living well is a choice you make!
Live vibrantly without uncertainty
Take the step to make a choice
With all your heart and mind.
If you don’t take your decisions
Some one else will.
Better you make it a point
To trust your decisions
And keep the faith.
More you will live without fear
Its your life after all!
Begin to love life.
And live life lovingly!
Savvy
Every thought
Every word
Every deed
Has potential
To impact consciousness
To shift and alter lives
There is an imprint somewhere
That creates a change
Within us and around us.
All is a matter
Of awareness of the imprints.

It doesn’t matter if its the Army Navy or Airforce once in the forces you are always ready with a Salute!
You can take a man out of the army
But can not take the army out of him!
Humour in Uniform indeed!

Sharing a fun forward that came my way!
One day a Colonel from the Army, fell into a well. The soldiers would throw a rope into the well and pull the Colonel out. The moment the Colonel would come up, the soldiers would leave the rope snap to attention and salute. The Colonel would fall back into the well. This happened many times.
Someone suggested that a Brigadier be requested for help-because HE wouldn’t have to salute the Colonel. So one Brigadier arrived. He threw the rope into the well and the Colonel grabbed it. The Brigadier began pulling the rope. As soon as the Colonel reached the top of the well, he spotted the Brigadier. He immediately left the rope and saluted. And he fell back once more, into the well.
There was total silence. Then everyone heard the desperate Colonel’s voice from down below
*”You idiots – get hold of a batch mate !!”*
MORAL OF THE STORY: Batchmates ARE important ! They can save your life!
(Dedicated to all batchmates)

Dancing is the ultimate art of expression of the spirit of life. Every part of the world has a unique set of dances that set it apart yet find some similarities somewhere. And that’s what is the strength of the creative art of movements, in the interconnects of community, culture , history, traditions as well as a reflection of the expression of changing times in the Dance Connection, and that is what beautiful about ‘Dance’ itself.
On the occasion of International Tango Day on 11 th December…
As a Celebration of Tango Dancers across the world …Sharing a few verses on Tango with a beautiful Tango Watch “Andrea Vighi y Chiara Benati – Milonga para as Missoes”
Tango
Born in the dark alleys of Argentina
The stark truth emerges of murky beginnings in the 18th century
Frequented mostly by slaves, immigrants in the ports of Buneos Aires and even Uruguay.
There were even bans on many of these tango musical gatherings.
The dance form began with countless influences of European and native culture.
Watch
Argentine Tango is both energetic and enigmatic
It has the strength and soul to show.
Equally exotic and evocative
Intriguing and beguiling
The lead and follow is beyond genders
For connection is beyond the physicality
For beside the passion play plain to see,
There is something quite alluring & attractive in the movements.
Two people apparently moving as one
The footwork entices and enthralls
The feet move with a mind all their own
But articulating a drama through the feet.
Watch
Slow, steady or sharp and staccato movements
Each pair of feet, teasing the other
Challenging into a seemingly deadly duel of the feet.
Hitting all the right notes
Never missing a beat
Never stepping unto another
Except for a flip a dip or a show stopping lift thrown in.
If you want to see the drama of life and living,
Watch the synergy of energy playing
In a soulful yet spirited tango of two dancers.
There is rivetting romance,
Yet strikingly serious and sombre in notion.
Depths of emotion & unbridled passion
Emanating in an artistry of motion.
Today there are so many versions of the Tango
Off shoots and diverse cultural interpretations.
That created new interpretations of the way the dance is danced.
In hold, in form, in stance and in steps. That it’s almost untraceable.
Tango today is alluring as ever with dark days remaining just a history.
Yet retaining the mystery and appeal, Captivating with its intensity.
The connects so rooted in the embrace and hold, that makes the fancy footwork so effortless.
Tango truly speaks eloquently more than ever before…

Every moment can bring
Its own share of challenges
Sometimes in situations beyond hope.
And you are left with decisions to make.
When unfairness is met
With hope and faith
Life turns around
Yes everyone is challenged
In one way or another
But the wisdom in the challenge
Is to use these challenges
As stepping stones
To your success.
Life is changing
Every minute
Life is never the same
Its ok to wait and lie a little low
You need to trust nature
To move and shift things
What was lost is gained again
What was your deepest pain
Becomes a point of pleasure
Change is the only constant
My friend
Move beyond these limitations
Of this now
There is so much more to envision
So much more to accomplish.
Life is meant to flow!

I particularly liked this quote I came across recently…
“Smile more than you cry, Give more than you take, and Love more than you Hate.”
– Drake
A beautiful way to be! Nicely summarized.
Will simply add…
In Laughter you nourish yourself
In Generosity you replenish your world .
In love you nurture, nature in and around you!
