Grateful

I AM GRATEFUL

For this moment of peace

In this now I am present

To know it’s preciousness.

And grateful in soulful awareness

That the Universe in and around

Is taking care of everything else 🙏

Wisdom of walking on…

To me walking has been synonymous with freedom, and I believe that it is one of the best ways to balance your mind and body every day. I have been enjoying this healthy activity pretty consistently.

Walking is something people take for granted but with the right approach the act of walking can be a friendly support for a lifetime.

But this is about walking and walking on from pride of success so that you create space for more.

There is great wisdom in such a practice.

There is always something

That you would have done

That which you have accomplished

Your success that you are proud of!

However,

What you did yesterday

Cannot be taken for granted

For it is back in time

What ever your achievements

Your accomplishments are yours to know

Yet life is not lived backwards

You can take your learnings

From what is done and apply to this now

For the future is another day

Dwell not in time gone by

Past glory recedes in time

No matter the memory into a distant dot.

Choose to be in this present

For then the hits and misses

Become small matters in the sun

Then no challenge is unsurmountable

For then success and failures

Become stepping stones to learn from

Walk on in this now…

Stay Hopeful

When the odds stack high, .
When our visions are not far enough,
When the road ahead seems blocked,
When we are at our wits’ end
When we are at cross with destiny
It shakes hand with us.
As it has planned ahead
A reciprocal arrangement
That opens a new path,
A new vision appears.
Nothing ends,
A new beginning starts.
Hope is here to stay.

A poem by my mother Anjana

Be Happy

To be happy, healthy and fully present in this now.

You simply need yourself

Committed to being all that you can be.

Work on your own self.

To be better than yesterday

Express your light of being

In ways that can make a positive difference.

Be happy as you can be

Know, you are enough for you.

As much as for the world

As you are creating positivity

In and around you.

Be happy.

On friends & friendships

Friendship…

Happens in the strangest of times
In an elevator, in a parking lot
In a bus, while walking or in flight
As a student  or as a teacher

Friends may come and go
To make you live life a little better
Think a little deeper with care
Value these gifts strewn in your life.

Friends make you see your worth
Because they want you as you.
Not an imagined version of you
So be you as you are in friendship.

Find time for a good friend
Whenever you both sense and feel it
Turn not your back on them
Know, friends are coming your way

Embody the light of friendships
Savour the joy and nurture friends Time and time again
They can be yours for lifetimes.

Songs of the soul

Words flow, as if they are meant to
Everything that is has a reason why
How they come be and for what
Is also it’s own doing in time.

In bits and pieces in the moments
In a downpour like  in a storm
As a spark to ignite hope in the dark
To shed light on the invisible.

Words that flow through you
Arrive in the sensing in clarity
And at times vague from nowhere
In verses, prose or lyrics

In a particular pattern
That seems to self arrange
For only those who it matters
Perhaps afor it to be seen and heard

Words live on in their hearts
As songs of their soul
It makes sense to those who care
To read it in their own way…

Thoughts & us

Art by Savvy Raj

We are what our thoughts are.

God came.

Ask me whatever you want.
Ten people asked their desires

First one
Countless money & a big business to run

2nd one

The most powerful position in the world

3rd one
I need fame & fortune like a topmost world famous actor

4th
I have to become the most beautiful person that the whole world becomes mad after me

Like this each of the nine people asked their desires which God gave them immediately.

The tenth person asked
I want the most contented , peaceful & blissful stage which a man can achieve.

The rest of the 9 looked at him laughing.

Peace of mind, contented heart.

For that only we asked whatever we wanted . When we get whatever we wanted peace & contentment will follow.

God looked at them and said I’ve given whatever you all wanted. Now you all can go.

The He turned towards the tenth person and said,
‘you wait here. I need to talk to you. I’ll come after some time. ‘ He left.

Now the rest of the 9 hesitated & stayed back so anxious to know what God is going to give him.

In spite of getting whatever they wanted they became jealous over the man who has not got anything till then.

As time passed, their anxiety grew & they forgot to enjoy what they have got. There went their peace & happiness.

The tenth man waited patiently. He became so peaceful & content that God is coming to talk with him.

Who are we.
The tenth person or
the rest .
Decide.

Our thoughts decide who we are.

Translation from a Tamil social media share by my mother Anjana.

Have shared my artwork here for I felt it was apt for the story above, in depicting the 10th man who is at bliss and peace in the merging of thoughts in divine consciousness.

Strength of a circle

There is great power in a circle that is inclusive and expansive.

Speaking of organizations a clear organisational structure helps to understand the relations of positions in an organisation with respect to position and authority. There are many ways that organisations are structured and each have their own pros and cons. Traditional flat structure to pyramid, circular to modern network structures etc. The value of taking the right structural approach in building organisations cannot be undermined.

The strength of circles:

The circle appears hierarchical with its power core and expansive with concentric spread of power yet its very strength is in its form that helps align values in teams.

For transformative change to align with the core values, trust and transparency is paramount to foster and this needs an inclusive and expansive approach inside out in a circular manner that is consistent to sustain. The organisation needs to support a circular structure with open door policies on communication, and work on learning and development to create accessible training programmes across the spectrum.

The circular structure has a clear psychological advantage in the form itself as leaders are not positioned at the top, making it easier for the vision accessible for one and all, thus increasing collaboration as it considers  different departments as part of the same whole.

There are infinite  possibilities of growth, in a circle of team, increasing a sense of belonging, mutual respect, and engagement of human potential, in the realisation that no one is as strong as all of us.

Heal as you write

Poetry is a brilliant trickster
As much a true friend
For it masks the truth cleverly in words
As much as it heals away in the expressions.


In the letting go of  dense emotions
Is the channeling towards balance
To the lightness of being
Where there is space created
In between thoughts and actions
For more cathartic connections.

Poetry revives the spirit of the soul
Through soulful words that flow
Out of nowhere explicable
For it has a purpose of its own
In trust know, that it finds itself
The path its meant to be.

Be it poetry or prose, fiction or non fiction, words can be the gamechanger.

How many of you writers agree?

Beneath the Orange Sun…

Inspiration for Intention

Beneath the orange sun
I see rays of possibilities
Clearly forming patterns
That speak to me to draw
Out the truth of my soul.

Beneath the nurturing tree
I witness the quiet calm
Feel the gentle breeze,
Am hearing the buzzing bee
And the rhythm of my beating heart…

Beneath the golden moon
I sense the vividity of my heart
Of love that bonds boundlessly
As gleams of hope shines forth
Evoking abundance in my soul.

Beneath the infinite sky
I am open to receive
All the good that is,
And cross paths with it today
I choose to live with intention.

Meet life.

Meet life in the eye
See the light it shows

Meet life in this now
Understand there is always a reason why

And then trust enough
To meet it with enthusiasm to live
So you can meet the miracles in this now.

Know you

All That You Seek Around You Already Have Within You

All the knowing
That you may need
You have enough
Seek your truth
Around and within
You are enough
Already all is within you
Have trust hope and faith
Within you all is awaiting
You to know, You.

A quick question.

Just a quick question…

How many of you writers, have felt people equating your creative writing with your life?

As a writer I do know that creativity comes up in the most unexpected moments. It may have or not at all have anything to your own experiences. Much of the creative process can happen in attention to details as a keen observer, in witness mode , in associations of thoughts and feelings and in sensing emotions in empathy, concern or care, that may have or not have any personal connotations.

Writing is the freedom of expression in flights of imagination, its a beautiful art and that is free for interpretation once it has been published. For the writer has chosen to let it go…

How it came to be, is a mystery sometimes to the Author too😉
