When we mix little curd, the whole milk become curd which increases its value . We take butter by churning ,which is costlier than milk n curd. When we heat the butter it becomes Ghee (Clarified Butter) which is expensive than milk & curd.
The ordinary milk when curdled, churned n heated, its value increases as Ghee.
Grape juice is not expensive. When fermented it becomes the more expensive wine.
If u make a mistake it doesn’t mean you are bad or useless. Pressures and mistakes make a man better & more experienced.
Colombus made a mistake on his voyage. He lost his way which resulted in the discovery of America.
Alexander Fleming’s mistake resulted in the invention of life saving Penicilin.
Never let ur mistakes make u fall. Your failures will polish you. It helps you identify where you went wrong, which plan failed, which approach becomes wrong.
What we learn from our mistakes, will lead us to the right path, to success.
Translated from tamil by my mother Anjana.
I write when I am charged with an idea an inspiration. Or perhaps when there is nothing else to do.
I write to balance my emotions whenever it needs equilibrium.
I write to flow with the moment with a thought that aligns, as it calls on me and as I write, at times emerges into a pattern, in prose or verse.
I write to understand better when thoughts overpower…overstimulate the mind.
I write to let go and send out all that comes to my mind which I feel and hope can make a positive difference, somewhere to someone reading me.
I write at times in deliberation too to process and synthesise new understandings.
I write to unshackle from the many convictions I may unknowingly hold. As I write they break loose from restrictive spaces and help to align my thoughts in the sifting.
I write to express the bounties of life that I’m blessed to enjoy in gratitude.
I write to sense the bliss of being… with all of me in the moment.
I write to express myself my way.
What makes you write?

A young entrepreneur I know, just does not seem to have the time or patience to listen to the employees. She says how can she find time to run the company if she has to hear them all…
Well it’s actually valid as her company has more than hundreds of people.
I have had many things to say about the issues, worries and problems that are of concern, but as her friend and confidante too, it is somewhat very challenging to get the messages across all the time.
Here I share a few of my observations as suggestions that may work for holistic development of any organisation.
It is very important…
To know your circle of people.
Those who work with you
Those who work for you.
To show genuine care & understanding.
Genuine appreciation and acknowledging people for their work without favouritism makes a huge difference.
In return
You as a leader understand much more
Of what motivates them
Or challenges them
And you begin to create
Possible ways to make a meaningful difference
And grow together.
And if by chance you sense a lack of common purpose
You know you need to be ready to draw a line,
And let them go, if need be.
But all the same it’s important to be aware of, and connect with your circle of people well.
What do you think?

Learn the form, but seek the formless. Hear the soundless. Learn it all, then forget it all.Learn The Way, then find your own way.
The silent monk from the Forbidden kingdom
I love this wisdom of The Way
In trying to control
You realize in time
You never can have it all
In fact the more you try to do
You realize how unbalanced you are.
To find balance
You meet stillness in the listening
For it vibrates it’s own music.
Hear in silence and you sense it.
You don’t need to try too hard
What is meant to be found appears.
You don’t need to overstretch
You simply need to ease in to connect deeply.

This is one of my favorite pieces from my paintings
I like a few things specifically besides the colours…
The flow
The fluidity
And the feel
I feel movements in a flow in the fluidity
I sense harmony in the synchrony
I sense the synergy of colours in the flow
I enjoyed painting this piece in one go.
I connect with this art deeply
Art is something that speaks from your soul.
In my native language ‘Art ‘is called ‘Kalai”
Would love to know what art is called in your native language?

Light is only light as long as you can see it.
Else there at most the anticipation of light.
What you see as light
Is your choice
For it is your point of view
But if light is a sense
Of the tingling warmth
Or scorching heat
Or the tenderness of touch
Light is sensed in its glow
Then light is a feeling
In the sensing
Of its so called attributes
Associated by you.
Then it’s your point of sense
What you see
What you feel
What you sense
Is a dance of illusions
Of the perception
All within you!
So is light light?
And is dark dark at all?
It is all in you!

In moments of loneliness
The tango of the mind & heart
May seem to overwhelm.
Choose to shift the narrative
Understand you can be alone
Without feeling lonely
Blame not your luck or fate
Find connects with your own self
Draw out the beauty of you.
Acknowledge your feelings
Allow your emotions to express
Draw your patterns of possibilities
Doodle, dance, sing or play
To express and let go.
The spirit of the soul revives.
Care to relish the moments
Of connects that you sense.
Remember you matter to you
Stop being hard on yourself
Start to discover your potential
Choose to know yourself
All of you body mind & spirit
Seek to sense the freedom to be
All that you want.
Do that which feels you
With or without company
Choose to carve your life
Choose to be in spaces
That makes you happy
Find ways to connect
Volunteer your time
For a cause that resonates
Sooner than later
You will find
Your kind of vibe
Somewhere somehow.

Fleeting by in the harmony of the flow…

Every day is new.
A day to celebrate.
Unlike many,
We are alive to see the sun, hale n healthy.
What more reason is needed to celebrate.
Let the bitterness of the past
Dissolve in the darkness of the night.
Like a new dawn,
new beginnings,
new hopes, new effort to make it
a day with positivities and possibilities.
Step forward,
With grit and gratitude.
Each moment is special .
Miracles can happen in any moment.
Be aware when it happens.

Count your blessings!
Sharing a wise forward that came my way….
Lesson from Bamboo.
A bamboo plant is an example for patience.
Try growing a bamboo plant. Water it regularly. Seasons will come n go. It will stay adamant without even growing an inch taller. For four years it will stay the same. One has to have patience watering it for four years. Nothing will happen to make you happy.
On the fifth
year the magic will happen. On the next season it will start to grow. Not an ordinary growth. In one year it will reach a height of 80 feet
How a plant which remained dormant for the first 4 years could reach this magical height
in the fifth year.
There lies Nature’s secret.. The wonder of Creation.
The first four years the plant prepares a strong base inside the earth. For it’s astonishing growth in the fifth year it needs strong root base to hold it’s height . The patience it has is for the initial four years is for it’s sustenance in the following years.
That’s the reason when it reaches great heights in the fifth year it never collapses or fall down.
Patience is a virtue that creates great heights in success. Never be in haste to grow and expand until you create a strong foundation & groundwork for your growth. Then nothing can stop ur growth and success.
Nothing is impossible here.
The learning is introduced
In the reading or telling
The learning is beginning
In the teaching & watching
The learning is supported
In the coaching & mentoring
But the learning actually happens
In the involving & engaging.
And the learning is reinforced
In its applications and sharing.
Learning is a dance
Of the heart & mind
But when the spirit & soul
Connect in the learning
The purpose finds its path…

So many feelings
So many thoughts
Creating confusion
Body mind & spirit
What to say and do
What to hold on to
And what to let go
Queries the mind.
Let go doubt
Let go assumptions
Let go prejudice
Let go judgements
All is meant to change
All is meant to flow
Answers the heart.
But the dance of the mind and heart continues😊
Every day… until
Dancing the doubts away
The body heals
Awakening the intuitive wisdom
The spirit regenerates…
