Where light shines forth
There is always a crack
That has given way
An opening that allows…
Light to shine through.
From darkness of night
Emerges a new dawn
In hope and deliverance.
With potential & possibilities.
Sense the cracking of dawn.

Peace Matters
Much more than anything else
For without it
Success has no meaning
True success is…
When the heart & mind
Knows peace within
Success becomes meaningful

A story from Mahabharata
Once Arjuna asked Krishna-
Madhav.. What is this ‘successful life’?
Krishna took Arjuna to fly kites.
Arjuna was watching Krishna carefully flying a kite.
After a while Arjuna said-
Madhav.. Because of this thread, the kite is not able to move freely and upwards, should we break it? It will go higher.
Krishna broke the thread..
The kite went up a little more and then came down after waving and fell at a distant unknown place…
Then Krishna explained the philosophy of life to Arjuna.
Parth.. ‘The height we are at in life..
We often feel that certain things to which we are tied are preventing us from going higher; like :
-House-
-family-
-Dicipline-
-mother-father-
-master-and-
-Society-
And we want to be free from them…
In fact, these are the threads – which keep us at that height.
‘Without these threads we will go up once, but later we will have the same fate that happened to a kite without thread…’
“So, if you want to remain on the top in life, then never break your relationship with these threads.”
The height attained by successful balance of thread and kite-like attachment is called ‘successful life..”
Truth of it all
Love is the way
For all of us.

Musings on a flight from France Amsterdam
Onwards and upwards
Here I am traveling light
With heartfelt gratitude
In the giving and receiving
Sight of fresh colors of flowers
In clothes people are wearing
Is a sea change from the mostly black monotones
Sensing summer vibes in the air.
Remembering the romance of Parisian bylines
Hope the time forward is full of hope and possibilities
Looking forward to new experiences …
Every country has a unique culture
Tuning in to the collective personas
Like tasting the wine in every sip
Travel can be a truly an immersive experience.
All it needs is a willingness to travel & adapt to the changing scenarios
And a spirit of tolerance as much as the love for freedom.

Whenever and wherever there is hope, faith and love… miracles happen.
In living life’s every moment
As if it’s a miracle in itself
Either there is a miracle for you
Waiting to happen
Or you are the miracle for another
Waiting to unfold
Both are inspiration for one or the other
For out of difficulties
Miracles are born!

Sharing musings from my mother..
Life moves on
In carefreeness
In dreaming.
In reality.
In sensibility.
In witnessing.
Each phase like
the changing face
moves on
teaching new lessons
To adjust
To accommodate
To analyse
To be detached
To let go
The most valuable lesson
‘To be in the Now.’
Live every moment
As it never come twice
Never contemplating,
Never anticipating.
Valuing the PRESENT
As a precious Present.
Live the NOW
With joy and peace
As they are not
From outsourcing.
For they are in me
Never let the transcient changes affect,
Like water bubbles,
they come and go.
Like passing clouds
They disperse.
With compassion in heart,
With awareness in mind,
With realisation in soul
Be in the Now.
Be in Bliss.

In any organization
When leadership listens
Empathy is nurtured
Safe space is created
Conversations connect
Teams bond in trustfulness
Productivity rises
In balanced motivation
Both intrinsic & external
Work becomes less dense
Creativity flows through
In collaboration & coperation
Valuing diversity of potential
Possibilities are explored
In freedom & growth
Collective intelligence resolves
Challenges gets simplified
Structure becomes systems
Protocols are in place
Organizations get organized
Change is acknowledged
In faith goodwill and trust
That we are stronger together
As respect becomes culture.
There is unity in diversity.
The way we feel has much to do with the way we think
The way we think has much to do with the way we behave
The way we behave has much to do with our notions assumptions and perceptions.
And the way we are perceived has much to do with the way we carry ourselves.
Our personality & attitude is our projection of our personas
Our nature is interweaved with the emotional state of being .
In acknowledging this…
Our life’s journey evolves in awareness.
What we say to ourselves
Is immensely impactful!
Lets understand the power
Within each of us.
Let’s review our internal dialogues…
When you are about to say
‘ Let me give up’
Change it to
Let me try again
When you think
I am not enough
Can you say
I am capable as I am.
When you fear failure
Can you learn from failure
And emerge stronger from the experience
Life truly has many possibilities
For those who care to see
And acknowledge life’s lessons.
Savvy
Just be…
Witness the wisdom
In the stillness
Beneath the din
In the silence
Betwixt the sound
In the spaces
Between the moves
Just be
Savvy
As you dance
Tapping your toes
To your own heartbeats
Life senses your rhythm
And waltzes along with you,

Truths of life & living…
Take stock of strengths
Work in sustainable ways
Take stock of your weaknesses
And work to minimize them.
Acknowledge opportunities
And remember to be quick to respond
Watch out for threats
At every turn tread cautiously.
But above this all, focus
Where you know improvements are needed.
Keep this practise consistent…
And watch life turn around for you
Savvy
If you can help the world you influence thrive…
Then you are a true leader
In being a leader
There is an unspoken responsibility…
Of creating a space for growth & acknowledgement
Of ideas and explorations
Of possibilities in the potential
Of development of the individuals
Of nurturing the spirit in patience and strategy
Of accountability of the purpose.
Of ensuring discipline and compliances when needed
Of using appreciation as an evolved method of correction.
Of empathy in thoughts words & action for the followers.
When the leader practices
All of the above consistently in time
Then all the directive of such a leader
Gets understood and supported in kind by the followers
And that is when managing change becomes easier for the leader
For all begin to thrive in this way….
And thats when leadership becomes an art.
And life thrives.
Savvy
Add a little love
To whatever you do
Love is the secret ingredient
And love makes all the difference
Love can be expansive
And yet inclusive in nature.
For sense is the essence of love
Nature of love is truly giving
That I wonder at times
Is there such a thing
As too much love?
Savvy
To flow is to witness moments
Change in the river of time
To flow is to realise
That change is the only constant
To flow is to make space
For something new
Let go, to let flow happen
Let the blessings flow!
