Sometimes when you just flow along
At times when you reflect to return
And then follow along with the flow
You know there is something there
That is bound to make sense to you
This artwork is just a result of doing just that…
Flowing along with the lines
Playing with the shape
Converging in the shading
Sensing the dance of light!

Poetry is often an emotional journey
of feeling sensing and sharing
through the words
There is a lot of inextricable emotions
embedded along these lines
on the way of life and living.

Some times life comes to a still.
That may be be Him testing will.
When we are low,
When we feel let down,
When we feel desperate,
when we feel alone, when we feel all doors are closed,
When life seems to have no meaning,
Never loose hope.
The master plan of Nature,
Is beyond our cognition.
The way will open up,
In any form, any time.
All we need is hope n faith.
Patience n perceverance.
The effort will pay off.
For He knows the right time and the right way.
Cos that’s
His Master plan.
Sharing this message of hope penned by my mother Anjana as a testement of faith and trust in the divinity providence.
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.

When I sit alone watching the dance of my breath ,
Witnessing the thoughts that arise like waves,.
Aware of my breath passing through my every cell,
Awakening to the transient nature of all,
Detatching gradually from the external me,
My inner eye witness the illuminated real I,
Connecting with the Cosmos in harmony,
Envelops the sense of infinity.
Where all is one ,
One is all.
The Blissful Eternal Truth.

A share from my mothers diary.
Life as a couple
Has its own challenges
Yet what matters is trust
In a loving relationship.
Trust that makes you feel safe
That makes you sense security
And value for being you.
To be heard, & loved as you are.
Often expectations from one partner
To toe the line and accept everything
Brings in uncomfortable silences
Or unwanted arguments and conflicts
Breaking a relationship gradually.
Perhaps it is about negligence
Or lack of consideration & care
Perhaps it’s about lack of empathy
Or even inequality that creates a gap
That widens in time and cracks
The strongest of partners.
Compromise or need
May keep them staying together
Just existing not living a life.
The show goes on…
Until it one day becomes unbearable.
And the inevitable truth tumbles.
These words above are deeply interlinked in the flow of thoughts that arose after I read a translation by my mother from a Tamil quote forwarded on Social media.
Interesting to note it is from a divorced husband after 10 years of realization.
‘Don’t show your pride before your wife.
She came to you just believing in you
Not your relatives.
My property
My earnings
My will
Then who is she?
What is the meaning of her life with you?
Can’t she have her dreams, her desires, to be fulfilled with you?
On reading this message
Something more rankled my mind
The question of expectations
To be fulfilled by the partner.
It’s never about needs
Being fulfilled by the other
But with one another.
In todays world
It’s about finding time
To be present in the now
With one another.
How many agree?

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…

Amazing!
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.
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.

How do you know
you are rich?
Amazing answer
by an IIT student.
When I was doing my
B. E. there was a Professor who used to teach us ‘Mechanics’.
His lectures used to be very interesting since he had an interesting way to teach and explain
the concepts.
One day, in the class, he asked the following questions:
1. What is ZERO?
2. What is INFINITY?
3. Can ZERO and INFINITY be same?
We all thought that we knew the answers and we replied as following:
ZERO means nothing.
INFINITY means
a number greater than any countable number.
ZERO and INFINITY are opposite and they can never be same.
He countered us by first talking about infinity and asked, How can there be any number which is greater than any countable number?
We had no answers.
He then explained the concept of infinity in a very interesting way, which I remember even after more than 50 years.
He said that imagine that there is an illiterate shepherd who can count only
upto 20.
Now, if the number of sheep he has less than 20 and you ask him how many sheep he has, he can tell you the precise number (like 3, 5 14 etc.).
However, if the number is more than 20, he is likely to say “TOO MANY”.
He then explained that in science infinity means ‘too many’ (and not uncountable) and in the same way zero means ‘too few’ (and not nothing).
As an example, he said that if we take the diameter of the Earth as compared to distance between Earth and Sun, the diameter of earth can be said to be zero since it is too small.
However, when we compare the same diameter of earth with the size of a grain, diameter of earth can be said to be infinite.
Hence, he concluded that the same thing can be ZERO and INFINITE at the same time, depending on the context, or your matrix of comparison.
The relationship between richness and poverty is similar to the relationship between infinity
and zero
It all depends on the scale of comparison with your wants.
If your income is more than your wants,
you are rich.
If your wants are more than your income,
you are poor.
I consider myself rich because my wants are far less than my income.
I have become rich not so much by acquiring lots of money, but BY PROGRESSIVELY REDUCING MY WANTS.
If you can reduce your wants, you too can BECOME RICH at this very moment.
This interesting forward came my way today and I wanted to share this with a few musings on the same lines…
Being rich is living life exploring and discovering all your possibilities of your potential
Being rich is being able to realize the potential of you.
Being rich is being ready to sense the abundance that is.
Money is not necessarily the only factor for your worth.
You are rich in knowing your worth.
Be enriched in health wealth & prosperity but most of all be rich in the heart and mind.
In realization of the contentment of what you have, you are truly rich!

The challenge in building a team is not just about ones performance, but about sustainability, about how best the team can work together.
Then not just about working together but about how much trust care and respect they have for each other that stands the test of times.

There is a profound Croatian saying
by Tea Obrecht –
“Is your heart a sponge or a fist?”
What is your first thought on this?
The human heart is continually operating as a muscular pump, contracting on average 80 times per minute to propel 9 tons of blood through body tissues each day.
Heart is a resilient organ
It keeps on beating through life.
In a lifetime it acts like a sponge
Yet it squeezes itself in every beat
Cleansing to regenerate itself.
Heart is resilient as a fist
Yet open to receive & share love
Heart is intelligent in its intuition
Courageous and compassionate
Caring loving and humane
For after all humanity is heart centric.
