On Giving

Deep within us all

Is a fountain of abundance

It’s rich in love

Yet it needs care & nurture

Support and trust

The heart is giving

Such is its nature

For it knows not

The games of the mind .

Care for the heart

For it is  pure feelings

And know its strength

Is in itself, in faith belief & trust.

Spirit of Sports

Winning at the Paralympics is no mean feat.  I wonder why it gets second hand treatment and less attention in media compared to Olympics. Came across this news  about a gold in mens badminton, it’s a proud moment for India no doubt.

And am in appreciation for the perseverance of these spirited warriors  of sportsmanship.  A testement to what the body achieves  when the mind believes.  May the spirit of sports shine through

Hope there is more support for every sport and sportsmen and here’s to celebrating them and  their unwavering dedication to touch the pinnacle of success no matter the odds.

With much hope on the anvil this year India has sent its largest contingent to compared to Tokyo 2020  where India found much success

And today I read…

India Shatters Its All-Time Paralympics Record, Medal Tally Swells To 20 https://sports.ndtv.com/paralympic-games-2024/india-shatters-its-all-time-paralympics-record-medal-tally-swells-to-20-6484764

Isn’t it high time to celebrate sports without discrimination across the world. What say?

In flights of fancy…

A flying bird’s perspectives are different from the ones on land.

Here is one such inspiration from up above…

You see states and nation across

I see endless land from up above

You see borders with rivalry

I see nature in different forms

From up close and afar.

I see humans with humanity

And at times without it too…

All of my life I have travelled

Across many a continents

In flights of freedom

High up in the air

With the wind in my wings

The sun moon & stars

And the sky for company

Flying high and low

A wanderer I am

And whenever I am tired

I choose to land

When and where I please.

There is no stopping me…🕊️

What is Spiritual Growth to me?

Someone asked me what spiritual growth means to me …

Here is what I spoke about in a nutshell

Harmony in mind body & spirit Integration in Self awareness
Developing greater understanding & Empathy
Humility & Kindness
Humanity & Compassion.


Living in the lightness of being
Acknowledging Grace in Gratitude
Sensing true freedom to be…for the self and others.
To flow with life in serenity. Sensing the joy in the ordinary.

It’s about acknowledging & sensing the space in around me

It’s about giving in the receiving and receiving in the giving

Witnessing the evolving patterns and freeing the self from limitations of the mind.

Evolving in the learnings, valuing the connection built in time.
A mindful & heartful practice in conscious awareness.
Letting go of unnecessary things
Understanding the value
Of the gift of life
Making life meaningful.
Living life lovingly!

And in knowing it’s so much more….

Please feel free to add what spiritual growth means to you?

A tree house

Many people imagine a tree house…

A house on a tree?
Sure that would be an experience
But the way of life
Is if you are living on a tree
Make sure that within you
You plant the tree of Gratitude
For life is a circle
Circle in with a grateful heart.

When the truth tumbles…

Life as a couple

Has its own challenges

Yet what matters is trust

In a loving relationship.

Trust that makes you feel safe

That makes you sense security

And value for being you.

To be heard, & loved as you are.

Often expectations from one partner

To toe the line and accept everything

Brings in uncomfortable silences

Or unwanted arguments and conflicts

Breaking a relationship gradually.

Perhaps it is about negligence

Or lack of consideration & care

Perhaps it’s about lack of empathy

Or even inequality that creates a gap

That widens in time and cracks

The strongest of partners.

Compromise or need

May keep them staying together

Just existing not living a life.

The show goes on…

Until it one day becomes unbearable.

And the inevitable truth tumbles.

These words above are deeply interlinked in the flow of thoughts that arose after I read a translation by my mother from a Tamil quote forwarded on Social media.

Interesting to note it is from a divorced husband after 10 years of realization.

‘Don’t show your pride before your wife.
She came to you just believing in you
Not your relatives.

My property
My earnings
My will
Then who is she?
What is the meaning of her life with you?

Can’t she have her dreams, her  desires, to be fulfilled with you?

On reading this message

Something more rankled my mind

The question of expectations

To be fulfilled by the partner.

It’s never about needs

Being fulfilled by the other

But with one another.

In todays world

It’s about finding time

To be present in the now

With one another.

How many agree?
