Joy of Dance

At the 49th World Dance Congress UNESCO Mumbai. 2018. My lecture presentation on The Relevance of Dance Education in Communities to a distinguished world audience from the field of Dance and Dance Research.

I spoke about how learning to dance brought out massive changes in marginalised communities, senior citizens and also recited in a poem format, my learnings while teaching dance to Visually impaired school children.

There is so much power to movement to encourage, to give hope, and empower a life to sense the possibilities in their potential beyond situations and circumstances.

This image came up as a great reminder of that beautiful day five years ago.

At the heart of it all is the love I have to share the joy of dance movements. I have had some amazing experiences along the way over the last two decades of being a dance educator. I have enjoyed every bit of it. The learnings and the sharings.

Suffice to say that after all these years though I have moved to doing many more things along with my writings, the simple joy of dance will always keep me happy at heart.

On Spirituality

You can’t talk Spirituality
You got to live it.
Often when life takes you far
Far away from it…


You got to know
The divine that you seek
Is with you in every moment
Your actions thoughts and words
Decides the distance between
You and your spiritual self.

A world of difference

A thought in kindness
A word of kindness
A deed in kindness
Count up much more
Than you realise
Imagine the wealth of joy
You will have created
In a lifetime.

Leaving imprints of kindness

In thoughts words and deeds

Makes a world of difference

On Equanimity

The wisdom born of balance…

Being able to see the true essence

Of living life in the middlepath

Knowing the power of being gentle

Just as much as of toughness

In every circumstance.


Discerning when to be what

And with whom is the key


To successful life management.

Developing the discipline

In mind body & spirit

Calls for equanimity of not tilting

To the extremes of behavior

In thoughts words deeds.

What is your take on equanimity?

On Gratitude

Cultivation of Gratitude

Gratitude brings forth

A shift in perspective

In feeling thankfulness

In sensing appreciation

In seeing the glass half full

Than half empty

In seeing the sunny side

Of things than as cloudy

For the way of seeing

Is a choice in our hands.

Internal effects of Gratefulness

An increase in dopomine

Sense of satisfaction

A boost in sertonin

Feeling of positivity

Count your blessings

Gratitude makes us recognize and value things we already have even more. That is how it brings a sense of abundance.

Every day a practice of gratitude could include a variety of things that may feel right to you. From seeing the positives in a situation or in people, focusing on the good in life journaling regularly and being thankful, etc

A practice of living life with a positive attitude makes life more meaningful.

Give gratitude freely without holding back.

Thank you dear reader, Truly grateful for your time. Pls consider sharing this message of giving gratitude in this now.

The Divine You

Art by Savvy Raj

There is a dance of divinity in every cell of life.

There is the interconnectedness of life in every being.

Be conscious of the universe in you.
As well as in others
Be empathic be humane
Sense answers within
Find  the light within
Feel the abundance of Love
Sense the divinity in you

Sense Peace
Work inwards
Evolve from within.

A Magnificent Masterpiece

Life is a reflection of our Creators magnificence

Of manifold dimensions, of magic and mystery 

Sometimes mayhem and melancholy…

Yet moving on to its own melody 

Mostly manageable and markedly memorable 

With every majestic thought of magnanimity …

All is truly well in mindfulness and moderation.

We are all masterpieces in making.

 Moving to unite as one with the master  

Only to manifest  in time as another magnificent  masterpiece

First try

I am truly fond of trees & of nature in every form. This is the result from the first time I used AI to create an image. And I was truly happy. For it generated from my few prompts, a very powerful & poignant picture, suiting my sensibilities.

Aesthetically & artistically it speaks much, especially liked how the red blooms emerge from the sides of the trunk interestingly juxtaposed & rightly so to colour balance the whole rendition well.


I love the light in the background especially behind the trunk of the tree. Of light that is gentle like dawn. As if to say I am there  arising, just around to dispel darkness.


This above artwork I had posted yesterday on my blog post Light, it is a result of my imagination brought to reality by AI, the creator from my thoughts and words & it’s unparalleled knowledge and inputs. Perhaps I got lucky or perhaps my words hit home… I landed with a complete artwork.And suffice to say, I am truly happy with the results. I decided to add it to my profile pic.

What do you think of this artwork ?


What about you? Have you started  trying AI images? What were your first experiences like? Did it meet your expectations?

Did you have to tweak your words & prompts? What was the feeling like? Were you able to relate with your output ?

Endless are the possibilities

In the collaborative effort

Of art & the science of it all

In expansivity and inclusion

There is artistry in the congruence

All it needs is to take a step

In self belief, trust & faith!

Words of our Soul

Our words  breathe the truth of our souls
The way we feel deep within
Somehow find a way to breathe in and out
To find their own sense of balance

The words we speak, the words we think and the words we write. We have a mind, body, spirit connect with our words.
In fact our words can be both…
The energy of our emotions
Raining relentlessly
And also the signature of our souls!

Breathing Space

After every exhilarating day

Comes moments of confusion

Of thoughts rushing for attention

In not knowing which to focus

In the business of thoughts

In trying to make sense of it all

Even the most sorted of minds

Can find it all challenging

In such moments of a tango

Of multiple thoughts in the making

Take a moment to breath deeper

Attend to the breath for a while

As you sail on towards the breath

Trust thoughts to find a way

In the space between themselves

And it all begins to makes sense…

Written for a beautiful blessed soul who was sensing chaos after an extraordinarily happy but hectic day…

I hope she finds her mojo back✨⭐✨
