Imagining peace
Soothing the spirit
Calming the senses
A river of joy flows through
In the sweet sounds of music
Memories of many melodious moments
Fleeting by in the harmony of the flow…

Learnings from Bamboo Plant
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.
On Adaptability
Any technological l advancement calls for updating of skills and most of all adaptability.
Adaptability of any new technology calls for embracing change and developments in both actions & attitude…
For adaptability calls for new
learnings with the curiousity of an optimist.
A willingness to uncover the new.
to acknowledge with enthusiasm
In exploration and discovery
Of the potential possibilities.
And the acceptance of errors & misses inspite of the best efforts
& most of all a relentless
development of resilience
to bounce back on the path.
Do share your thoughts and insights on Adaptability.

BENEFIT OF DOUBT
Sometimes life makes you teach yourself many things…
Giving the benefit of doubt
There are many crossroads in life be it in a career with any organisation or in partnerships, or even personally between people or teams, where point of views are different and clash of perspectives on decisions are bound to occur.
Can you agree to disagree?
For most, it is challenging as its not always easy to come to terms with what affects you or makes you emotional. Yet learning ways to give the benefit of doubt, calls for development of strategic skills.
It is important to process any conflict of interest, you may have with others , first with your own self.
Check if you can find the root of your disagreement with a particular decision.
What is it that you are not aligned with?
Why are you feeling this way?
Empathic Perspectives
Then begin to imagine if you are able to bring empathy by setting aside your feelings on what you are yet unable to accept and think from the other persons perspective, does the view alter then? Does it change your thoughts a bit?
If you can alternatively, also think if you choose to agree, in the larger interest, does it benefit or can it make your team bond together.
Let’s also not discount the possibility of you having less information about the reasons for any decision taken.
Ultimately, whatever way you chose to think or act is your choice to take. But sometimes when it may seem impossible to make sense of things do remember, there is always more than what meets the eye!

Trust your Soul
Learnings in living life
Trust your Soul
When the going gets tough
And life brings you on your knees
When best laid plans are thwarted
When crisis take you rock bottom
When every door shuts
And you turn towards hope
You begin to understand life
Challenges are your portals
Creating pathways of change
Your choices create your gateways
For your own transformations
Soul knows more than you think….
Perhaps your perceptions
need a new perspective.
Trust your Soul
It is aligning you to your purpose
Watch the window …
And may be you need to pass through…
Llfes uncertainties staring at your face
For they toughen you up.
So see beyond what seems like a setback.
Perhaps the window of opportunity is opening through them.
Trust your Soul, it knows the Way…

On Letting Go
Letting go is never easy
For we are often not ready
Letting go is a courage as much as a necessity
Letting go that which you can’t change
Letting go of yourself beyond the fear
Letting go of insecurity that is holding you back
Letting go of things that no longer serve you
Letting go to create space for something new
Letting go of unnecessary doubts that delay the possibilities
Letting go creates a difference with a lightness of being…
Learn to let your self go
And watch life transform in and around you…
All it takes is letting go
Think of letting go of the spurious
Like a breath taken
How long will you hold it?
Inhale and exhale are part of life
As you inhale, live life
In knowing the exhale
Is but a circle of life.

Music & moods
Play on…
When you are in the mood for music, play on
When you are feeling low, play on
When you are exhausted and tired and you want to revive your mood play on
Music is therapeutic and the healing
nature of sound energy can be tuned
into to change your mood & manage
emotions and lift your spirits.
Take some time to create an upbeat
playlist that perks you up and
engerizes you and get up from your
chair to move arounda bit.
Take a short walk every once in a while. with some great music for company..It will
bring a spring in your step and smile
in your heart.
In fact for every part of
the day, you can have a playlist of
your own choice. Take time to create
yours… if you haven’t already and do
listen… The right music makes a
powerful difference.
Play on…

Force of nature
Every creative endeavour is rooted in a dance of the energy within and around us…
The dynamics of integration embodies the creative output.
A movement that is influenced in the tidal wave of both gravitational and centrifigual force of thoughts.
Creativity is a dance of the creator in the flow…

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.

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.

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?

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.
Savvy
On Meditation
Meditation is simply
A dedication of time
For your own self care.
It’s a way to tune inwards
In witness mode.
In the stillness as the mind quietens
Begins the path of your own
In self – expansion beyond self- limitations
Meditation is a choice you make
Unfolding the limitless potential you hold within.
