I am the awareness I awaken in me
I am infinite potential
I am the essence of love
I am conscious of my abilities
I am a warrior of peace
I am the creator of my life.
I am alive to my purpose of being.
I am alive to make the best of my abilities
I am here alive to thrive.

Create a space of calm
Inviting you to a journey
Alluding you in subtlety
Through natural authenticity
Keeping it simple & minimal
With intriguing unintentionality
Allowing a space for austerity
Sparking divine connectivity
Evoking movements in the stillness.
Invoking stillness in the movements.

Intellect will seem big as long as things happen our way.
Hope will seem big when things does not happen our way.
Luck will seem big when unexpected things happen.
Wisdom seems big when interruptions block things
Fate seems big when talent does not work.
When whatever we thought big, doesn’t matter anymore, we will start knowing ourselves.
When we start knowing ourselves, The Divinity inside us will seem big
Translation from Tamil forward by my mother Anjana.
What is art?
But a transcendence
In sublime understandings
Invoking inspiration
Awakening aspiration
Collaborating in creation
Sometimes seeking
Sometimes speaking
At times questioning
At times challenging
Emoting provoking
Allowing thinking
In the sensing more
Acknowledging critiquing
Receving in the giving
Giving in the receving
Ever flowing…

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.

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 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
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?

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.

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!
