We will survive

What if storms come when in the middle of the ocean.
What if volcanos erupt ,where the shelter is. .
What if tsunami sweeps in while relaxing at the beach.
What if earth quake shakes the ground underneath.

Human spirit is so strong
It will overcome any obstacle that comes in its way.
Strong is the will power and grit.
Our race has seen all these and much more in the times bygone.
Resilience and humanity overpowers all mishaps .
We rise from the ashes to build from the scratch.
We can make edges bend to make us the path to proceed.
Never fall down.
Never loose hope.
Though life is a struggle
We are meant to survive.
Our faith and inner light are the anchors.
Hope & effort are the oars that steer us forward.
Keep moving.
Keep winning.
For we are meant to survive.

Sharing a poem by my mother Anjana

Authentic Connection

People we happen to meet
Are perhaps meant to be met
And then there are people
We intend and choose to meet
It takes will and effort
Of commitment to a connection.
And when it comes to managing it
Care & connect from all of you!
For even a single moment of authentic connection
In thoughts words and deeds
Is enough to make a indelible heart print.
No matter your crazy schedules
You create a bond lasting a lifetime…

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!

Acknowledging the good.

Often in the daily grind of life

We begin to take things for granted

Everyone we have with us

Every gift we are given in time

Every solution that solved issues

Every answer that came our way

The light of this day

The bliss of a restful sleep

A smile from a stranger

That made your day

A helping hand when in need

Nurturing home made food

Unconditional love from a furchild

And so much more..

Life gives you much

It’s in us to acknowledge

And recognise the good in our way

And appreciate this now

For all that which you already have!

Truths of Being

Living life truths

As the threads of time ties us
In a tapestry of weaves
We make our choices
We chance upon our paths
Lighting it up, in our own unique ways…

Painting our dawns with hope
And the dusks with dreams
Brushing light of the rays & beams…
Cherishing our moments in this now
Colouring our dreams with intentions that matter
Living loving
Giving receiving
We shape our lives…
Acknowledging our thoughts
Accepting our errors of judgements
We all evolve in the tapestry of time

Embracing ourselves in self respect
Embodying our faith in trust
Unfurling our passions in time
Unveiling our purpose on earth
Until we find our truths of being.

Be like a cat

“When a cat falls out of a tree, it lets go of itself. The cat becomes completely relaxed, and lands lightly on the ground. But if a cat were about to fall out of a tree and suddenly make up its mind that it didn’t want to fall, it would become tense and rigid, and would be just a bag of broken bones upon landing.
In the same way, it is the philosophy of the Tao that we are all falling off a tree, at every moment of our lives. As a matter of fact, the moment we were born, we were kicked off a precipice, and we are falling, and there is nothing that can stop it.
So instead of living in a state of chronic tension, and clinging to all sorts of things that are actually falling with us because the whole world is impermanent, be like a cat.”

~ Alan Watts

Being a cat

Is about feeling ease

Not only in body

Built for speed

With flexibility of spine

Creating elasticity

In the cushioning

But also in their brains

Integrating moves creating agility

With remarkable coordination.

And powerful reflexes

Cats are graceful

In acceptance of the flow

There is ease of doing

Which lands them safe.

When you accept

Life is a but a dance in the flow

You begin to ease

In the ups and downs

You know life is a flux

Change is the only constant

You flow with effortless ease

Be like a cat…

Ladders that lead

I wrote this piece with respect for so many entrepreneurial spirits and their enterprise. Who catapult to fame and recognition but then often find themselves unable to sustain themselves. And the heart-wrenching truth is that not all have the resilience and the capability to bounce back.

But life is a circle and change is the order of nature.

In the toughest of rounds

Keep the faith and patience

And trust time to show the way…

Ladders that lead

The climb is a chase, but the fall is steep.
So persevere on beyond just the achievement.
Be tenacious in ascent & resilient in descent.

Ladders that lead you higher in the name of career success, fame and glory lead you to so much more than just that. As you climb each step gradually, you inch closer to your dreams.

You are chalking your life in every move. And then in the pinnacle of your success…
You realize you have reached your goal.

Here is the point of discernment
As you observe, check the signs around you
Are you ready to play the game of survival?
You will receive less warmth here than ever before.
Your colleagues will change their minds
Think twice before supporting you.
Fear not and keep on going
Stay mindful in the moment.

Ladders are meant to go up and down. If you have climbed up you must know to establish your survival modes else there is the ladder that brings you down.
But it’s twice much harder to bear, on the way down than the challenges you face on the way up.

What do you do when ladders do the disappearing act?

Sometimes the ladder vanishes
And there is no clear way to step down
Except for a blind leap of faith.
There may be darkness and uncertainty
Sadness and silence
Shame and blame
All devastating effects
Of loss and failure
Yet the trick is to go on
Correcting your ways
Learning from the experience
And letting go of past foibles.

Mistakes make you more aware
Hurt a little and you are cautious
In pain there is understanding
It’s what to watch out for!

Paths that may seem easy
May get you embroiled in complexities.
Watch yourself along the way
For the journey takes all of you!

You will encounter much support on the way up
But once you are catapulted into the halls of fame…

You will find many critics and judgments
From those watching with interest
How you are managing it from here.
With all those judgemental eyes on you
One slip is a sure fire miss and costs a lot!

Watch your every stepand move
For you are being followed
Here is where your resilience is tested!
Stay true to who are.
Look ahead as you trust yourself.
Paths can appear out of nowhere.✨🙏✨

Amazing nature

Photography by Savvy Raj

Nature is amazing

A single rose leaf helps grow another plant

Teaching lessons of survival no matter what

Where there is will, a way appears…

Finding our pathway

In this rut of routine…

That’s our so called lifestyle


In pursuit of our dreams,


We forget the purpose of our existence.


When the limbs and mind get tired

we start searching,

the meaning of our life.

It is never too late.


In just a little effort

To step out of our own ways


Many paths open up…


That leads us to walk on


Until we find our own way.

In the depth of silence

In the depth of silence
Is the dance of stillness
Unfolding untold stories
Echoing in pathways as destiny
Are dreams of the masterplanner

Embracing the solitude
Gracing the silence
There is a hush
Without a whisper
A painting evolves
Sparking the soul

As the brush gently glides
Texturing  a tapestry of weaves
Of infinite intentions
Forging the known and unknown

Finding the souls sanctuary
Setting the cadence
Through the choice of the soul
Aligning the narrative
In the quietude of the inner balance
Destinies entwine.

Flow

There is commitment in attachment

There is contentment in letting go

For then…

There is connectedness to all

In freedom of the flow.

Strength of the Soul

Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin

The strength of the soul
Is in allowing the fluidity of the flow
Of acceptance of possibilities.
In the flexibility of feelings
To adapt to the changes.
In foregoing retribution
And forgiving the past. 
Evolving in the flow.

Zen of Oneness

In the unison
Of the mind& body
Is the integrity
Of the Spirit & Soul

Oneness eases itself
In alignment
In the divinity
Is the state of zen

This poem is truly special to me. For one it was written during my first solo trip to Greece.

Much of what I describe here, I felt while I was there, as if I had been there, and I deeply sensed it all in that journey.

Journey on… 🙏
