One who knows the worth of life
Cannot afford to waste
Even a single moment of life
Care to take a step
Towards a more meaningful life.
Every now is awaiting your awareness
To envision the potential within
Every new day is a gift of possibilities
Care to make today count!

I bet everyone will love to read this…..
Every day early morning a little girl would come to the temple and stand before the idol, close her eyes and with folded hands, murmur something for a couple of minutes, then open her eyes, bow down, smile and go out running.This was a daily affair.
The temple Poojari was observing her and was curious about what she was doing.
He realised that she was too small to know the deeper meaning of religion & that she would hardly know any prayers. But then what was she doing every morning in the temple?
A few days passed and Poojari now couldn’t resist but to find out more about her behaviour.
One morning, the Poojari reached there before the girl and was waiting for her to complete her ritual.
He placed his hand on her head and said, “My child, I have been seeing you since the last few days. You come here regularly. What do you do?”
“I pray,” She said spontaneously.
“Do you know any prayers?”asked the Poojari with some suspicion in his voice.
“…No” Replied the girl.
“Then what are you doing closing your eyes every day?” he smiled.
Very innocently the girl said :“I do not know any prayer, but I know “a,b,c,d….up to z.”I ‘recite it five times’ and tell God that,”I don’t know your prayer, but it cannot be outside of these alphabets.” Please arrange the alphabets as you wish and that is my prayer.”
And she ran, jumping on her way out.
The Poojari stood there dumbstruck,staring at her for a long time as she disappeared running in the wilderness.
This is THE UNCONDITIONAL belief in God that we pray.
On song writing:
“We human beings are tuned such that we crave great melody and great lyrics. And if somebody writes a great song, it’s timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there’s going to be a real appreciation.” -Art Garunkel
What is great music to you?
Is it the song how it sounds to you ?
Do you pay attention to the lyrics?
Sometimes great lyrics alone don’t make a great song,
And often great song has hardly any depth to its lyrics
So what are your favorite or evergreensongs the ones you listen to always?
What is it that makes it, to your favorite list?

Covid has come
Covid will go
Herd immunity
Now at play
Will leave
With markings
Of a common flu
And yet the waves
Will leave us
Imprints of Resilience
In the cells of our being
Progressively in time
But speaking of the future
If we are able to see
Beyond the nightmare
Of the past
There is a shift
In the way of life
Of the way of living
At work & at play
The impacted have wisened
Earlier than others
But there is an awareness
No less in the rethinking
Of the workplace that works
From physical to hybrid.
Exploring possibilities
With our virtual connections
With precious commute time saved
Families have sensed the togetherness
Experienced the pros & cons of wfh
Yet work has continued
Buisness collapsed yet many revived
Reinventing the ways of work
A sense of knowing prevails
All is not lost
For technology has come in aid
Of mankind at its hour of need
A semblance of normalcy regained
But with a redesigned version
Of what is the new normal
Organization operates
Repattererned in the sensing
Of what is redundant
And what actually works!
Hope is here to stay…

If we were to only reach deeper
Than we know see or believe
Is the truth and begin to accept
And acknowledge the yet unknown
The unfamiliar & the unexplored
Structured to the unstructured
The understandable to the inexplicable
Sensations in our emotions.
All vying for our attention
Or even the patterns manifesting itself…
In space continuum
We are opening ourselves
To the spectre of multi dimensions
Possibilities are infinite
Fractality of creativity.
Savvy
Life is precious
And so are relationships
Remember, gentle is the way
When you walk with another
There is much you do not know
You never know the hidden truths
For some wounds are deep and invisible.
So walk gently, care sincerely live lovingly
Savvy
There is always a reason
We know not yet
Trust life to deliver
Know life is a puzzle
Every piece fits perfectly eventually
Keep your faith alive
And celebrate the life you have
In this now

One of my favorite quotes:
“Tomorrow I’ll think of some way… after all, tomorrow is another day.
Scarlett O’Hara in Gone With the Wind
This post is a dedication to a hopeful spirit.
No matter the calamities
No matter the challenges that come along…
In moments of deep despair
Know there is light around the corner
When the night turns dark
Know the dawn awaits full of light
Keep the faith & trust there is always more
In the infinite abundance
When one door closes
Another opens they say!
Keep the hope alive in your heart
And trust the magic of new beginnings💙

Speaking of opposites at play
Between the expansion and contractions.. Between the conflicts and clarity
The dance of the heart and mind goes on
Only to meet somewhere midway in peace
And adjusts itself in the circle of life.
After all there is a place and space
For every manifestation
Somehow everything aligns in the flow

Value of power of peace within you…
Today in this moment
Are you ready
To partner with peace
Do you have the power
Of a grateful heart
That knows to live light
And waltz in harmony with life!

How intuitive are you?
Do u sense the subtlety
In nature and its mystical ways
Of sending signs and symbols your way?
For you to understand perspectives
Beyond assumptions & notions
To create an insightful vision
Of the unfolding realms
Of the possibilities in the potential.
There is always a reason
Why you are gifted with intuitive intellect.
Consider ways to use it for goodwill
Think larger, widen your perspectives
For the world at large
Can you use this subtlety of knowing
And leave heartprints of Serendipity?
Savvy
Peace begins in our hearts
In our actions in awareness
Peace spreads its wings
Unfolding its magic
Interspersing the seeds of peace
In the hearts of humans
When we embrace ourselves
With all our conflicts and chaos
With our inexplicable challenges
We embrace the peace
Already deeply embedded within
In between and betwixt
The rest and movement
Peace regenerates itself
In the middle path
Peace finds its balance.
In the path of Equanimity

Sharing thoughts close to my heart…
On Love
“Realizing the many miracles of life is also in knowing love that can move the soul of our being. We can consider ourselves lucky to even have been touched by a love like that!”

Throwback to last week when I recorded a demo and forgot about it
Shown here is one of the riskiest parts of the process — removing myself from the fragile balance without disturbing it.
In order to balance something like this, I usually need to basically wrap my body around it while sitting and building.. using knees to hug / stabilize the lower section(s) like a scaffold. But once I find zero, I need to remove my body without causing the structure to collapse.. on my body.. it’s when I’m most vulnerable.
But as seen here, I keep my gaze firmly on the structure while maneuvering my body away. It’s like a weird hyper focus where I’m spatially entranced on the relative positions of the rocks, and if any data point deviates from the whole, I have maybe a second to react before it becomes dangerous, especially for my left hand here which is planted on the stump I was sitting on, hoisting my body away.. if that top decides to fall on that hand, bones would likely break… not a situation where I can afford to break focus.
Some self removals are easier than others — it really just depends on a firm hold for my right hand behind me, the sensitivity of the structure itself, and what the wind is doing..

This post made me think further on
The Art of Self Removal
In any creation
The creator is inextricably
Interweaved in the tapestry of creation
And yet the Creator detaches the self
To step away from the creation
Distinguishing the completion
Of one phase of the creation
For it to begin it’s own journey of being

Many a times
We find doubts
Are getting in the way
Of our reaching for success
We feel stressed & strained
By uncertainty & doubts
We fear our own strengths
We think we will cave in
Discount not your self doubt
For it helps you grow
It makes you open up to new learnings
It encourages you to seek insights
It keeps you from complacency.
Your self doubt is an internal switch
That ignites intuitively from within
To rebalance your running mind.
It helps you revise your strategies
When ego threatens, to trip you over
Your self doubt levels the playing field
It implores you to listen more
Learn more and share more.
Your self doubt can be your ally
In moments which need humility
In moments needing a rethinking
Care to give yourself the benefit of doubt.
