Intellect will seem big as long as things happen our way.
Hope will seem big when things does not happen our way.
Luck will seem big when unexpected things happen.
Wisdom seems big when interruptions block things
Fate seems big when talent does not work.
When whatever we thought big, doesn’t matter anymore, we will start knowing ourselves.
When we start knowing ourselves, The Divinity inside us will seem big
Translation from Tamil forward by my mother Anjana.
Every day I write
It’s been so for more than six years now
I don’t plan on what to write
I just put the words as they come
But somehow from somewhere
From deep within they flow
Through me…
And then one look at what I wrote
I get the title immediately
Many times the title comes first
And I begin to write
And then I just happen to share with you all my readers
Some of you engage with me all most daily
And I am so full of Gratitude for your presence here.
Thankful for your likes and comments
You readers really make my day
Especially when you leave a kind & thoughtful word.
It’s truly special to see an old reader drop by chance and connect again
It’s a wonderful feeling…
When at the fag end of the day
I sit to read your thoughts
It makes me motivated to want to write some more.
Words are all I have
To share with you
I hope to share the best of them & I hope to read and learn from yours…
And hope to stay connected
With you in times to come
For I believe to share is to learn some more…
Thank you for the love you share here.

Nowadays, I am finding there are lot of films produced on women empowerment in different languages. Perhaps this is what the public wants to watch. What is interesting to note is how well it resonates with our times.
I enjoy watching films that make you think and feel as much as I enjoy happy fun films
I just finished watching a new Hindi movie called Sukhee. It’s about a daring woman (Shilpa Shetty) who elopes and gets married to a man of her choice in her college days. In time she becomes a homemaker. But her husband over the years stops valuing her. She toils everyday at home but her daughter stops needing her. Her only desire is to go meet her friends and attend her school reunion after 20 years. But her husband does not want her to go.
Nevertheless she leaves them and goes to meet her school friends. She realises how much she has missed her old life and wants to stay back some more… But her husband gives her an ultimatum to come back now or never come back…
What decision she takes forms the rest of the story…
On Strength of Empowerment
We talk of strength and there are many strengths in the challenges
Of Courage
Of Resilience
Of Tolerance
Of Patience
Speaking of women, I want you to answer this following question.
Who is a strong empowered woman?
The one who has the courage to get up and leave when she knows she is simply being used but not wanted?
Or the one who stays and dares to change the equation?
I look forward to your answers

In the fragility of life
Lives trust in hope & faith
Strengthened by signs of integrity
Weakened by fear and doubts
In the labyrinth of this world
Trust dares to deliver itself
Finding its own way, invisibly
In its nuances rests complexities
Like mysterious & hidden stories
For trust holds itself through
Shaping itself in silence
Forging connections in time
In enduring or fleeting moments
This digital age is a tryst with trust
On what to believe or not to
In this era & changing times.
No matter the challenges
The nature of trust is trust itself
Like an intricate & sacred thread.
Reflecting in this sentiment
Embodying it, is this dance of trust.
Savvy
You Can
If you only see
the myrind patterns
And colors of life,
You will live to create
If you could only believe
In the vividity of the moment…
If you could only sense the magic
that life is meant to be
You will…
Paint your Life with Joy in the Flow
Unwrap this Gift of Life Lovingly!
Just Believe You Can…
And You Can.

Every life is unique.
And creative in its own way.
With you is the key of creativity
You simply have to believe in you
And explore this gift of life
That is already with you.
Creativity is in you
In the way you chose to be
In the way of you seeing
In the way you interpret life

Watch
In the way you express
Infinite creative possibilities
Are awaiting expression
Awaken your potential today
Create from your uniqueness…

I wrote this piece with respect for so many entrepreneurial spirits and their enterprise. Who catapult to fame and recognition but then often find themselves unable to sustain themselves. And the heart-wrenching truth is that not all have the resilience and the capability to bounce back.
But life is a circle and change is the order of nature.
In the toughest of rounds
Keep the faith and patience
And trust time to show the way…
Ladders that lead
The climb is a chase, but the fall is steep.
So persevere on beyond just the achievement.
Be tenacious in ascent & resilient in descent.
Ladders that lead you higher in the name of career success, fame and glory lead you to so much more than just that. As you climb each step gradually, you inch closer to your dreams.
You are chalking your life in every move. And then in the pinnacle of your success…
You realize you have reached your goal.
Here is the point of discernment
As you observe, check the signs around you
Are you ready to play the game of survival?
You will receive less warmth here than ever before.
Your colleagues will change their minds
Think twice before supporting you.
Fear not and keep on going
Stay mindful in the moment.
Ladders are meant to go up and down. If you have climbed up you must know to establish your survival modes else there is the ladder that brings you down.
But it’s twice much harder to bear, on the way down than the challenges you face on the way up.
What do you do when ladders do the disappearing act?
Sometimes the ladder vanishes
And there is no clear way to step down
Except for a blind leap of faith.
There may be darkness and uncertainty
Sadness and silence
Shame and blame
All devastating effects
Of loss and failure
Yet the trick is to go on
Correcting your ways
Learning from the experience
And letting go of past foibles.
Mistakes make you more aware
Hurt a little and you are cautious
In pain there is understanding
It’s what to watch out for!
Paths that may seem easy
May get you embroiled in complexities.
Watch yourself along the way
For the journey takes all of you!
You will encounter much support on the way up
But once you are catapulted into the halls of fame…
You will find many critics and judgments
From those watching with interest
How you are managing it from here.
With all those judgemental eyes on you
One slip is a sure fire miss and costs a lot!
Watch your every stepand move
For you are being followed
Here is where your resilience is tested!
Stay true to who are.
Look ahead as you trust yourself.
Paths can appear out of nowhere.✨🙏✨

I pray…
Let the words that pour
Make a meaningful difference
Let the thoughts that flow
From these words empower
To create a change for the better

Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The strength of the soul
Is in allowing the fluidity of the flow
Of acceptance of possibilities.
In the flexibility of feelings
To adapt to the changes.
In foregoing retribution
And forgiving the past.
Evolving in the flow.
Savvy
Like every thing in the Universe
Has a reason to be…
Your purpose is intelligent
It is embedded in the flow
Such that it’s meant to be
To flow through you
Till you realize you are the flow
And you are enough for you!
Savvy
Surfers attitude to life…
Imagine that you see a wave coming towards you
What is your first thought in your mind?
Do you see ocean waves as something you will drown in?
Or can you think like surfers do?
And think of riding the waves
For they know there is another one coming along…
Life manifests the way you chose to see it.

On being a life long student of Change
To be a student of Change
We need to learn about life from it
We need to acknowledge its flow
As part of life, in every now.
To know there will be interruptions
And understand them as intentional
Synchrony at play.
To self arrange the chaos that is sensed.
So in these very changes
As we keep, acknowledging life
As part of the same flow
We begin to be one with change
In conscious awareness
And trust life to flow
For Change is the only constant.

When you look at other people through a lens of compassion and understanding rather than judgment and jealousy, you are better able to see them for what they are—human beings.” ~ Unknown
The way we see the world
Changes our experiences
Lesser expectations
Greater contentment
Lesser assumptions & doubt
Greater trustfulness
Lesser hopelessness
Greater possibility
Lesser the complexity
Greater the clarity.

To the truly determined
Opportunity unfolds
In the sustained effort.
To learn anything new
Needs dedicated determination
To understand beyond exploring.
In the will and perseverance
Arrives the point of knowing
And learning continues…
For the truly determined
Nothing can stop the learning.
