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.

Orchestra of the Ocean

There is a symphony of sounds
In the ebb and flow
Is the waltz of the waves
Rising and falling

The wind playing with the ocean
Evoking the movements
Invoking the strength of the currents
Embodying the dance of nature

Connecting in consonance
Blissful in the blending
Peaceful & relaxing.
Healing in resonance…

Flowing with life in the fluidity ..
Adapting to the waves of change
Surfing in the waves of oneness
Witnessing the wisdom of water.

Enjoyed contemplating on two thoughtful comments by
Dr. Eric Zabiegalski & @T P R P RAO to one of my earlier posts.

Thankful ✨🙏✨

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 .

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

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

What do you think?

Is all an illusion in the reflection?

On Spirituality

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 tree house

Many people imagine a tree house…

A house on a tree?
Sure that would be an experience
But the way of life
Is if you are living on a tree
Make sure that within you
You plant the tree of Gratitude
For life is a circle
Circle in with a grateful heart.

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

Whispers of Wisdom

Mother Nature’s
Whispers of wisdom
Is in and all around us.

Just care to look around.
Just have little time to listen.

The drizzling rain ,
The gentle breeze,
The spreading fragrance of blooming flowers. Soothing all those around.
No discrimination.
No differentiation.

The mountains touching the clouds,
The trees that stand tall and high,
All whispers
That transcience is eternal here.
Spring and autumn are just cycles .
Be in equanimity
In highs and lows.

The sun, the moon, the mighty ocean,
All the elements of nature
Just whisper
Discipline, punctuality,
Valuing boundaries in spite of immense power,

The bearing trees,
The green fields.
The flowing rivers
The very earth we stand upon,
All whispers
Humility,
Generosity,
Patience,
Selflessness,
Nourishing,
Nurturing.

The lessons are many.
How many we carry?

For eons are these
Timeless whispers.
When will we have the time and patience
To listen and learn.
To practice and bow down.

A poem by my mother Anjana
