Edge of balance

Balancing on the edge of balance

Our lifes, hopes and aspirations

Have a different meaning

For they are sensed in vividity

Tethering, quivering in the now

To the preciousness of time.

Silent in the stillness of being

No matter the applause of achievement

Success takes on a fresher perspective

With all at stake in this now

So very embedded in the vulnerability

In the river of time.

Nature Of Giving



Nature of nature is abundance
Giving is a mark of awareness
Of awakenings to the truths
Of life and living.

No authentic giving is wasted
In fact giving spreads hope
And hope is unending
For its here to stay…

In the Circle of life
There is giving and receiving
There will be doubts and uncertainty
On the nature of giving…

Yet those that give without expectation
And those that receive with grace…
Make way for a conscious shift
In awareness  and acknowledgement




Creating an evolved world
That has deciphered the magic…
Of the strength of the interconnects
In this interdependent world.

Happy Festivities

Happy Diwali to all here.
Sharing a few musings from my mother.



Tamaso ma Jyothirgamaya.

On this Diwali let us
Illuminate our hearts.
Ignorance n impediments
Vanish in that brilliance.

Let Faith, prayer, compassion
And humility fill the place
While false beliefs, prejudices
Hatred & anger
Dissolve without a trace.

Past year has taught us
Many lessons.
Many have learnt
The real values our lives need.


A disciplined lifestyle
With resilience will take us far.
The core values our ancestors had
Are not mere lessons in vain.
They are real essence of health
With gratitude, embracing all.

Time to rectify our deeds
Done in the quest to excel.
Mother Nature knows well
How to balance & dwell.
Let’s co-exist without harming,
Valuing all lives, be it in any form.

Let this Festival of Lights
Bring harmony & happiness.
Together we will protect
This precious divine gift
Undoing all our wrongs
Restoring what truly belongs.

A Very Happy Deepawali
To all of you,
Be safe and healthy.
Stay blessed ever.

As we celebrate this beautiful festival of lights lets all take some time to connect with the cosmic lights and feel its blessed presence within us all 🙂

Learning from a free spirit



Today I write about my dear and very loving father…

Perhaps the most uncomplicated man.

A paragon of the free spiritedness of a child.

He has an uncanny ability to be happy like a child.

What he desires are little things like a child.

Yes, he knows how to get what he  desires

But the happiness he feels & expresses, in the most ordinary things

That is his blessing of simplicity.


Life can be an epitome of adventure and adaptability.

It can challenge you & test your resilience & reserves

But to be able to be in touch with the inner child in you.

No matter how  life takes its toll on you

Is the strength in the vulnerability.



I dedicate these musings today to my eternally ‘young at heart’ father.

For from him, I have imbibed many beautiful learnings
Will share three, especially relevant here…

  • To be able to find happiness in the ordinary things.
  • To be able to stay hopeful, light & positive, no matter the density in the moment.
  • To think well of all and make way for happy thoughts and share goodwill.

  • God Bless You Dad!

    Dancing In Harmony





    Dance not to impress
    Dance to express 
    Dance for no one but you

    In the dance sometimes
    The dance begins to lead the way
    But know you choose the way.

    Choose to pause between the steps
    When you need to balance the self
    To dance again from the center of your being.




    You are the dance, the dance is in you
    But you must abide
    By the truth of your being

    If you dance without your soul
    Or if you dance without your spirit
    You feel empty as you are not there.

    Then you are not true to your purpose
    To express the way of your being.
    So tune in to authenticity.

    There may be many distractions
    Along the way of dancers dancing
    Different dances for different  reasons






    Every life has its own purpose
    Whats relevant to stay truly aligned
    To dance in harmony with your being.

    Circle of life & living





    Life and businesses

    Circle of life and living
    Nature leaves many lessons
    The falling  leaves
    Are an excellent metaphor…

    Learning to let go
    In  hope, trust and faith
    Of the balance the circle
    Is an indicator of the adaptability.


    Business is a big leap of faith
    In every business
    That has thrived  and survive
    Inspite of the changing seasons.



    Seeds to a plant
    Plant to a tree
    Trees begin maturing
    Like life is meant to flow….

    Buisness too are meant to grow
    As the processes are strengthened
    Nourishing &nurturing the foundation
    Harnessing synergies  in the energies.




    There is growth in the momentum.
    There are dependences and beliefs
    But like the nature of life
    Old has to make space for the new…



    To flourish and sustain
    The seasonal setbacks
    And survive the storms
    In the winds of changes.






    In the blooming and blossoming
    There in is the budding of new ideas
    Like ideas that flow by nurturing
    Life is meant to flow…by nature
    Such is the circle of life and living.


    These verses came forth after reading  a very thoughtful share by my dear friend @Ali Anani , who mentioned rightly so that the post might be of interest  to me…. so to him  dedicate this post in gratitude 🙏

    Life & Living



    There is an art of life and living
    Be freehearted in giving.

    Sense every nuance of this now
    Express the love of life in this moment.




    Tune in to rhythms playing in life
    Like the dancer who dances
    Emoting through the movements
    Tuning into the  awareness in every step

    Dance with all of your being.



    Connect unabashedly
    Life and times move swiftly
    Regret never the moment lost in doubt
    Engage with this now passionately.



    You will give yourself the greatest gift
    The gift of living than simply existing.
    You will fulfill the purpose of your being.
    You will  make your life worth living

    Stepping out of our own way!



    We are magical beings in the flow.

    Such is the truth of creation.

    Yet, often we are blinded by our own self,

    Clouding our minds with the density

    Of thoughts and doubts.


    We are so full of ourselves,

    Our illusory pride and prejudices,

    Our assumed notions and convictions

    That we forget we are part of the infinite abundance,

    With immense potential in the possibilities.


    If only we can believe 

    In ourselves and choose to trust

    In the purpose of our being.


    Acknowledge with awareness

    The spirit of life and living,

    Choosing to thrive in the flow,

    Learning to allow and acknowledge

    The unfolding cosmic patterns

    By stepping out of our own way!

    Nature fascinates


    We explore it in unique ways
    Some of us lookup at the sky
    Admiring the infinite vastness
    Of spaces above and beyond

    Some of us look down  at the ground
    Preferring  to  dig deep into nature
    To witness the foundation  of living
    Exploring the very roots of the life


    Some choose to dream and envision
    What might be, in  hope for the morrow
    Some sit in stillness  witnessing their breath
    Knowing all the truths of life is within.

    Some prefer to dance with life
    In this now as it unfolds
    Accepting nature as it appears
    Preferring  to make best of its moments.

    Strength of Perseverance




    The flower blooms from a seed
    In the power of  perseverance
    Because of its strength of purpose
    If you believe in your self

    You are meant to bloom in time.




    Stay determined and focus
    Believe you are capable
    No matter the situation
    Trust your inner reserve
    Waste not time in worry
    It doesn’t help any way.





    And lose not hope.
    You are meant to survive the odds
    Nothing is achieved by worrying.
    For patterns only get complicated.
    Keep up with your perseverance




    All said and done
    Know the strength within you

    And remember to touch base
    With your own soul song
    You have it all within
    Such is the power of Perseverance

    Nurturing Faith

    Faith speaks from within

    When Faith affirms itself

    Everything  is surrmountable

    Every problem  finds  a solution

    Every challenge  finds a way

    Nurture faith

    Faith is all there is

    For without faith nothing is!

    The Slow Roast




    The Slow Roast…need for stringent action!

    There is a good amount of data emerging that people are suffering, to various degrees, from living next to cell phone towers and other high-frequency radiation emitting antennas, which emit microwaves around the clock. According to Professor Franz Adelkofer, a leading scientist in the area of biological effects of EMF fields: “There is real evidence that hyper frequency electromagnetic fields can have geno-toxic effects. And this damaged DNA is always the cause of cancer. We’ve found these damaging effects on the genes at levels well below the safety limits. That’s why we think it’s urgent to base our safety limits on the biological effects, not the thermic ones. They should be based on biology, not on physics.” Yes and I certainly believe that awareness is the key! For instance ‘experts say mobile phone towers emit microwaves at a frequency of 1900 MHz. Recent studies have shown that the intense radioactivity from mobile phone towers adversely impacts every biological organism within one sq km. According to the Bioinitiative 2012 report, brought out by 29 independent scientists and health experts from across 10 countries, India’s radiation emission limit – 450 milliwatts per sq mt – was too high. The report said exposure to high levels of radiation can lead to headaches, concentration and behavioral problems in children, and sleep disturbances. ‘



    As health is our greatest asset as a nation, there is certainly a great need to revise the policies and reduce the permissible emission limits in today’s times to improve our defenses against electronic stress.

    What are your thoughts on how we can find a comprehensive solution to the invisible yet dangerous sources of radiation… Pls share.

    Two women



    Sharing a lovely piece of poetry

    Two women, two different roles
    The one who gave birth to me
    And the one I gave birth to.

    One gave all the love she had
    The other got all the love I had

    One strived in the life chosen for her
    The other – for the life she chose

    One made sure I didn’t have tears
    The other ensured I face my fears

    One hears my voice to know if am well
    The other can read my face and tell

    One had her eyes moist as she saw me go
    The other made my eyes moist as I let her go

    My past and my future when shall meet
    Will be a picture ever so complete
    Two women, two different roles

    If only I could be a little like them,
    The one who gave birth to me,
    And the one I gave birth to.

    Two women, two different roles.



    Can simply say

    Love is the bridge…
    Betwixt & Between

    Live life lovingly!❤

    Envisioning Beyond Labels



    In every experience there is always learning
    To move beyond the apparent
    Every concept is potential  in possibilities
    Such is life and creativity
    It is the way of nature in abundance…


    To be able to see the bigger picture
    To see beyond the niggling bits
    And envision the larger good
    Is the need of the hour. 


    So much of time, earth has borne
    The onslaught of man and his needs
    But its time to think beyond the self
    And move beyond  being bound by labels.


    Find ways together and seek
    Solutions than problems.
    For truly we are so much more
    Than the way we label ourselves…

    LETS MOVE BEYOND LABELS
    & KNOW THE POWER OF OUR BEING.
