Travel Diaries

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.

Miracles

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!

This now

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.

Unity in Diversity

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.

Evolving with the changes.

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.

Just be

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

As you dance…

As you dance


Tapping your toes


To your own heartbeats


Life senses your rhythm


And waltzes along with you,

Life & Living Truths

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

Can you help the world thrive?

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.

Secret Ingredient

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?

Flow

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!

Just another day back in time.

Exactly eight years ago!

With love from Athens Greece … 🙂 At the World Dance Research Congress Greece UNESCO as a representative member from India 🙂
An example of Unity in Diversity…. Approximately 400 conferees from 40 countries of the 5 continents.!

Today in India, so glad to write this, the dance community that represents India internationally has grown from strength to strength … yet ‘Spot me’ if you can … I was the only woman representative from India at that time.

An amalgamation of such an association and the resulting experiences leaves one enriched for a life time. The practice resulting thereof in pursuit of excellence becomes important. In the awareness of the possibilities in dance applications on the human psyche and form, the responsibility of making a positive difference in your purpose is strengthened.

Power to more such immersive and experiential collaborations in the art of dance movements across the world. 🙏

Travel on

If you are given an opportunity to take a journey

Take it, for you meet many versions of you.

Along the road.

Some you cherish, some cherish you.

Some that change you and some that you change.

Fear not the travel or the traveling…

For one thing is certain

You come away enriched and wiser in every journey.

Travel to liberate yourself
From self assumed notions
To see the light on the other side
There is much to unlearn and unbox
As you travel yield in to the insights
Travel every once in a while if opportunity arises,

Take the chance,
You are richer in your explorations much as your experiences.
Travel on …

On Children

A child can teach us to love life

A child can remind us to be present in this now.

Nurturing a child is a learning

In resilience and responsibility.

Of our strengths & vulnerability.

Children are our teachers of tommorow.

Unshackled Souls

Cage not the heart

Of those who dream of the yonder. 

Beyond the clouds, over the hills 

Their spirit seeks to wander.

Far across the horizon, their soul belongs!

 

Cage not the soul

Nor the spirit of life

For it is free from form,

Travelling across time.

Sensing freedom

In every now

Is the way of the spirit

And the wandering soul.
