The paper is where it is
On it the pen moves
Driven by the hand
The fingers of writer
Holding the pen
Waltzing on paper
Shaping thoughts
In a flow all its own.
And the soul & spirit
Of the writer imprints
For eternity…

On Courage
Every life in this world
Is born with courage to thrive
And the courage to survive
It is a matter of recognising
And awakening to your courage
Courage has many facets
In you exists so many kinds of courage…
And each of us have different degrees of it.
There is courage is a dare that speaks to your truth
A dare that makes you confront
With the truth of you.
When was the last time you sensed courage?
Or lack of it in a certain situation? .
Courage that dares through physical challenges.
Enduring discomfort hurt
Or pain and even possible danger.
Then comes the emotional courage
To be able to confront
Your deepest fears and doubts
Having the ability to seek help
Express your inner feelings
Takes a great deal of courage too.
Not everyone can share their truths easily.
Have you ever been tongue tied and socially awkward?
Perhaps you need to work on being socially courageous.
Speaking with self confidence means assertive communication.
Connecting with people from all walks of life with ease.
Work on your voice and poise which helps in speaking publicly.
Have you sensed the need to learn more?
To educate yourself every now and then?
It is about being courageous to develop your intellectual strengths.
An ability to say’ I don’t know’ or admit’ I was wrong. ‘
Breaking the ego build up and allowing space to understand more
This also require the development of humility in great measures.
Somewhere deeply inter linked with morality and conscience.
In the ability to admit to mistakes to stand up for values and fight for rights
Upholding the principles with conviction & braving opposition.
Not many people find it easy to fight the odds. They give in.
To understand beyond the self calls for another type of courage
The empathically courageous will go beyond biases to get into the others persons perspective.
Empathy is a courage to sense the trials and tribulations of others.
Along with this is another kind of profound courage
An exploration of your own Spiritual truths.
This calls for conscious connections, remembering to honour your life, in and around you in every form.
Courage is an inner reserve
That actions from all of you
Your nature and nurture
Is unique so is your courage
And the way you are…
Explore what facets of courage has naturally become your strength in time.
And what facets do you need to build and develop in yourself.
Now when you think back of the many situations that you exemplified your courageous self.
Every thing you need is already within you
Waiting for you to trust yourself enough to recognize it.
Remember your courage is one of your many gifts of strength.
Acknowledge and use it wisely.

Trust your Soul
Learnings in living life
Trust your Soul
When the going gets tough
And life brings you on your knees
When best laid plans are thwarted
When crisis take you rock bottom
When every door shuts
And you turn towards hope
You begin to understand life
Challenges are your portals
Creating pathways of change
Your choices create your gateways
For your own transformations
Soul knows more than you think….
Perhaps your perceptions
need a new perspective.
Trust your Soul
It is aligning you to your purpose
Watch the window …
And may be you need to pass through…
Llfes uncertainties staring at your face
For they toughen you up.
So see beyond what seems like a setback.
Perhaps the window of opportunity is opening through them.
Trust your Soul, it knows the Way…

LOVE
Sharing light & love…
Speaking of intentions, I intended to find some time to try something new today. I created this digital art using an app. It’s truly amazing! So many ways to express your creativity!
What do you think of it?
Adapting to the changing world requires keeping up with the times, doing the things you love and loving what you do… And most of all living life lovingly!
Every beat of the
heart matters
Every heartfelt
intention makes a
difference.
Every moment of time
is precious.
Every blissful heart
knows!

Sensing Serendipity
And just like that, come s along a moment with heartfelt words, that makes you grateful for the life lived.
Every moment is full of possibilities
Every thing you choose to do
Leaves impressions in the sands of time.
Stay true to being you…
Life turns memorable.
Have taught many people to dance in my life.And yet…
I remember this student well, as well as all the workshops I conducted. It was a decade or more ago when I taught some Corporate Jive Workshops to a creative set of Designers. We stayed connected over the years on FB and LinkedIn.
We wished each other occasionally on birthdays and celebrations. That’s all … Unril I happened to really notice the love this student had for bikes and I sent a simple message of best wishes and safe travels…
And voila I get this message today that for sure makes my day!
A lesson here…
Stay connected .
Be interested & reach out and express appreciation for things others do..
Celebrate life .. Trust life to deliver the very best! It often does!
Let go expectations!
Great things happen quite unexpectedly!
And most of all, never underestimate the power of dance and music …. ✨✨

Strengthen your feet
Sitting for long hours at work can be rather stressful for those who have sedentary work. In such cases taking good care of your feet health is very important for your heart and overall health.
What can you do besides wearing comfortable shoes, soaking your feet in warm salt water after work,
massaging your feet from time to time.
However when at work you can
incorporate a simple practice of taking a short walk every one hour to break monotony and reduce the impact of long hours of sitting in a chair.
As a Ballroom dance teacher I used some simple props for my students to help strengthen their feet.
Elevating your feet when ever possible, can reduce pressure on the blood vessels, lowering fatigue and release stress.
One is simply rolling a tennis ball under your feet for a few times in a day to release the strain and
tension.
Another easy way is to
have a small terry towel under
your feet and to try to lift it by
scrunching your toes.lt helps
tone, stretch & ease your feet
muscles.
They are both easy to carry and can help you do a feet workout as you work.
Do try and let me know if it helps.

Music & moods
Play on…
When you are in the mood for music, play on
When you are feeling low, play on
When you are exhausted and tired and you want to revive your mood play on
Music is therapeutic and the healing
nature of sound energy can be tuned
into to change your mood & manage
emotions and lift your spirits.
Take some time to create an upbeat
playlist that perks you up and
engerizes you and get up from your
chair to move arounda bit.
Take a short walk every once in a while. with some great music for company..It will
bring a spring in your step and smile
in your heart.
In fact for every part of
the day, you can have a playlist of
your own choice. Take time to create
yours… if you haven’t already and do
listen… The right music makes a
powerful difference.
Play on…

To my circle of connections
Dear Readers & writers
We are an ever growing circle
Emerging through our words
In the sharing we have grown
We have eased into each other’s hearts
We may not see one another ever
But we have connected in mutual respect
Of each others creativity.
Though the power of words
Comforted and understood
Accepted and appreciated
One another in our own little ways.
For we all know the power of words
That, one heartfelt word can change a day!
Thank you all for being here and hoping for a joyful journey ahead together for us all.

On Giving
That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
William Wordsworth
On Giving
Give the good you have
Every time before the ask
Consciously consistently
Every time you do
You create space within
For more good to find its way in
In reality
Giving from all of you
Is much easier done than said
For all you need is to be you
Giving with all your heart
Making it a regular practice
Sensing true freedom in spirit
Aligning you with the Universe
A little more in every deed.

Chosen
Trust, that you are Chosen
To take a step towards change
To be the peaceful warrior
Who can brave new frontiers
With acts of kindness
And words of positivity
In goodwill do deeds for humanity
Bringing forth the best you can
And you truly can
Then every day feels meaningful
And with every now purposeful
You begin to understand
Who you truly are.

On Strength of a Woman
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
Savvy
