On Giving

That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
William Wordsworth

On Giving


Give the good you have
Every time before the ask
Consciously consistently
Every time you do
You create space within
For more good to find its way in

In reality
Giving from all of you
Is much easier done than said
For all you need is to be you
Giving with all your heart
Making it a regular practice
Sensing true freedom in spirit
Aligning you with the Universe
A little more in every deed.

Memorable moments

There are always special moments in every one’s life
Making life meaningful and memorable
Often it’s pure serendipity…
When your memory jogs you to remember such a moment.


What makes the memory strong?
What you are associating it with,
That is what makes the memory stronger.

Next time pay attention to whatever you want to remember.
What emotions and feelings can you associate with it?
As your visualisation gets stronger
Your memory gets better and will  fade lesser in time.

Now remember to visualise with vibrance.
Choose as you please,
Scents & fragrances of places
Nature & friendships
Colours of Emotions
In all its vividity &feelings.

Soon you will build on all the happy times.
Keep adding your treasure chest of memorable moments.

Someday you will be thankful for it.

What is it to be Spiritual?

To be spiritual is to embrace the exploration of experiences called life

To be on the path of Spirituality is the path of oneness.

To be spiritual is to acknowledge the uniqueness of every life.

And sense the connectedness therein

As much as embody the freedom of the spirit.

In the independence is the interdependence

In the interdependence is the interbeing

Sensing the divinity within and around you.

Bloom in Resilience

Moving beyond….bloom again

Did something happen? 
Did you get hurt?
Are you in pain?
Do you keep hurting
Time and time again
Still thinking of it
Is it the circumstances
That repeat itself?
Or is it you who has to change?

Are you ready?
To work on your own self?

Cultivate your inner strength
Release let go pain
Let go  slights & insults
Step by step
Bit by bit
Acknowledge the hurt
But overcome it
In practice learn to flow over it
And once you do
You move over it
Care to ask yourself
What is the hurt all about?
Where is it hurting the most?
Whatever your answer
Release it consciously
Let it go…
For the now is meant to change
Such is the truth of nature.

Its your life
You are responsible
To create a garden of your life
Make sure you strengthen
The walls with gratitude for life
Value the life in every now
Bloom some more
Be the best you can be!

What is travel to you?

To travel
Can be about discovery
Of the old in the new places
Leading you to pathways
That takes you back to your self

To  travel
Can be a sensing of serendipity.
A feeling of  dejavue
A memorable journey
Unexpectedly unto yourself.

To travel
Can be to witness
The stark reality of life
Perhaps a jolt of reality
Of places and people
As they are in comparison to what was once imagination.

To travel
Can be to learn and unlearn
To connect us to this now
With the truths of things
In places we visit
Know and unknown.

Keep traveling  far and near to find yourself a little more every time.

Power of Realization

When the sun realises it is a part of  many suns in many galaxies

When the moon realises it is part of many moons in this very galaxy

Or when the blue planet earth realises the significance of  water and its potential  in this very galaxy

When every human life living in this planet, acknowledges the wisdom of conserving water.

The power of enlightenment will truly take us a long way…

So much to discover and learn

So much to the power of realization .

Space of Calm

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.

To you my readers

Every day I write
It’s been so for more than six years now
I don’t plan on what to write
I just  put the words as they  come
But somehow from somewhere
From deep within they flow
Through me…
And then one look  at what I wrote
I get the title immediately
Many times  the title comes first
And I begin to write

And then I just happen to share with  you all my readers
Some of you engage with me all most daily

And I am so full of Gratitude for your presence here.


Thankful for your  likes and comments
You readers  really make my day
Especially when you leave a kind & thoughtful word.
It’s truly special  to see an old reader drop by chance and connect again
It’s a  wonderful feeling…
When at the fag end of the day
I sit to read your thoughts
It makes me motivated to want to write some more.

Words are all I have
To share with you
I hope to share the best of them & I hope to read and learn from yours…
And hope to stay connected
With you  in times to come
For I believe to share is to learn some more…

Thank you for the love you share here.

Reflecting reflections

Digital Art by Savvy Raj

Are we in the reflections or or are we the reflection itself?

What do you think?

Is all an illusion in the reflection?

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?

Chosen

Trust, that you are Chosen

To take a step towards change

To be the peaceful warrior

Who can brave new frontiers

With acts of kindness

And words of positivity

In goodwill do deeds for humanity

Bringing forth the best you can

And you truly can

Then every day feels meaningful

And with every now purposeful

You begin to understand

Who you truly are.

On Strength of a Woman

Nowadays, I am finding there are lot of films produced on women empowerment in different languages. Perhaps this is what the public wants to watch. What is interesting to note is how well it resonates with our times.

I enjoy watching films that make you think and feel as much as I enjoy happy fun films

I just finished watching a new Hindi movie called Sukhee. It’s about a daring woman (Shilpa Shetty) who elopes and gets married to a man of her choice in her college days. In time she becomes a homemaker. But her husband over the years stops valuing her. She toils everyday at home but her daughter stops needing her. Her only desire is to go meet her friends and attend her school reunion after 20 years. But her husband does not want her to go.

Nevertheless she leaves them and goes to meet her school friends. She realises how much she has missed her old life and wants to stay back some more… But her husband gives her an ultimatum to come back now or never come back…

What decision she takes forms the rest of the story…

On Strength of Empowerment

We talk of strength and there are many strengths in the challenges
Of Courage
Of Resilience
Of Tolerance
Of Patience

Speaking of women, I want you to answer this following question.

Who is a strong empowered woman?
The one who has the courage to get up and leave when she knows she is simply being used but not wanted?
Or the one who stays and dares to change the equation?

I look forward to your answers

The Dance Of Trust

In the fragility of life

Lives trust in hope & faith

Strengthened by signs of integrity

Weakened by fear and doubts

In the labyrinth of this world

Trust dares to deliver itself

Finding its own way, invisibly

In its nuances rests complexities

Like mysterious & hidden stories

For trust holds itself through

Shaping itself in silence

Forging connections in time

In enduring or fleeting moments

This digital age is a tryst with trust

On what to believe or not to

In this era & changing times.

No matter the challenges

The nature of trust is trust itself

Like an intricate & sacred thread.

Reflecting in this sentiment

Embodying it, is this dance of trust.
