What face do you want to choose?

In the journey of life, love appears, it shows many faces…


Love is matter of perspective.
It can pick the color of one’s mood.

It can make us generous.
It can make us selfless.
It can make us strong.
It can protect.
It can bind us
It can make us happy & can bring us bliss and blessings.
It can do magic and wonders.
It can make us feel light.


Another face of love

It can be possessive.
It can make us  jealous.
It can make us angry.
It can make us weak
It can hide the loved one’s faults.
It can blind us
It can make us vengeful.
The extreme negative expression of love is hatred.

Choosing it positive or the other way is in our hands.
Which face do you want to choose ?

Divine love can make you see light.
Embodying this light, keep the journey on.
The path will be illuminated.
The journey will be a blessing.
Keep the love and light in your heart,
To make this journey pleasant .

A poem by my mother Anjana

Songs of the soul

Words flow, as if they are meant to
Everything that is has a reason why
How they come be and for what
Is also it’s own doing in time.

In bits and pieces in the moments
In a downpour like  in a storm
As a spark to ignite hope in the dark
To shed light on the invisible.

Words that flow through you
Arrive in the sensing in clarity
And at times vague from nowhere
In verses, prose or lyrics

In a particular pattern
That seems to self arrange
For only those who it matters
Perhaps afor it to be seen and heard

Words live on in their hearts
As songs of their soul
It makes sense to those who care
To read it in their own way…

Heal as you write

Poetry is a brilliant trickster
As much a true friend
For it masks the truth cleverly in words
As much as it heals away in the expressions.


In the letting go of  dense emotions
Is the channeling towards balance
To the lightness of being
Where there is space created
In between thoughts and actions
For more cathartic connections.

Poetry revives the spirit of the soul
Through soulful words that flow
Out of nowhere explicable
For it has a purpose of its own
In trust know, that it finds itself
The path its meant to be.

Be it poetry or prose, fiction or non fiction, words can be the gamechanger.

How many of you writers agree?

Spirit Ablaze…

Sky above, earth below, and fire within,
As I stand here,
Under the canopy of twinkling stars in the sky,
Sensing the nourishing earth under my feet,
And the fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.

The fire within, I nurture ,
As passion that fuels, my soul
A purpose that ignites, and a will to succeed,
A heart that beats, a dream to be freed.

Watching the sky above, clouds floating by,
Like a bird soaring I choose to fly,
And I wonder of infinite possibilities,
Until the setting sun, draws the moon at night.

I feel the fertile ground
Sense the abundance of nature.
A garden of life.
In every breathing life, is a universe within,
Bountiful beauty, to inspire dreams.

Sky above, earth below and fire within,
A journey of life, with a prayer in hope
To meet the mornings, awaiting the purpose of life.
With the spirit ablaze in my beating heart.

Meet life.

Meet life in the eye
See the light it shows

Meet life in this now
Understand there is always a reason why

And then trust enough
To meet it with enthusiasm to live
So you can meet the miracles in this now.

Hope beyond despair

Yesterday night a quote caught my eye…

You will continue to suffer if you
have an emotional reaction to
everything that is said to you
True power is sitting back and
observing things with logic. True
power is restraint. If words
control you that means everyone
else can control you. Breathe
and allow things to pass

Warren Buffet

Read as you please

Read as you please…
For I choose to let it go.

What I wrote yesterday
And what I write today
Depends on what inspired
Between the then and now.

Often as a writer
If I take a stand
And my words
Are strong enough
To impact another
In more ways than one…

Simply know I write
With all my heart and soul
And trust myself, to let it go
To make space in me
For more to explore and discover.

As any poet will,
I witness and listen
To each moment
As it plays out
And I sense and feel
When I think and write…

Choose not to see me
In these words,
What I will write about next
Is mystery to me too…
For as any creative artist
I  may choose to make words dance
For me and for you..

Different dances
For different days
Some light and breezy
Some deep and intense.

Sometimes words emerge
Out of nowhere
To self arrange themselves
All I do is follow the flow…

Sometimes these words strike
A chord deep in you and me
And that is where the words
Find their purpose to be.

Words are mere words
Feelings make all the difference
And feelings differ day to day…
So read my words, as you please
For I choose to let it go.

A Spread of Cheer!

Sharing one of my earlier paintings today,
‘A Spread of Cheer! ‘

I personally love seeing it once again for its vibrant bouquet of colours.

Paintings have a way of depicting the emotions the painter carries…

Can imagine the joy and recreate the moment of bliss and wonder while I was painting it years ago.

Here’s to Health, Joy, Love, Happiness and all the positives in life …

Learnings from a tree

Today is a new day…

Like a flowering tree blooming everyday, with hopeful buds

Make a promise to yourself to live and greet each day with enthusiasm.

Yesterday is gone by and today is a new day…

Let not your past
Come in the way
Of all that you are
Leave yesterday
And live today.

For your present
Is what matters
The past is lived
And this now
Is yours to live.

The Dance & The Dancer

How can you separate the dancer from the dance?

For there is no one without the other

Body and soul united in spirit.

When the two meet there emerges energy

In unison of the cohesive oneness

The heart knows what the mind speaks

And mind tells what the heart wants

In the dance of the lead and follow

There is no one without the other.

 There is a draw of passion

There a pull of power

And there is the push of purpose

To flow as one in the moment of the now!

Embedded is the dance in a dancer

Embalmed is the dancer in the dance.

On Time

You are enough for you
Remember your uniqueness
Takes its own time to show up
All happens at the right time

For time knows you.
Make time your friend
Meet it with all of you
Make friends with time.

Shine on

Shine your light

The light of you

That comes through you

Your voice your truth

Your speech your words

Your work your authenticity

Your moves your way

Step into your light

Step into your place

Fill it with all of you

For none can fill this space

There is no other like you

For you are unique.

In your own way

Shine on.

Power of Belief

What do you think you deserve?

The answer paves the way

To bring it to your life.

As you intend

You believe.

As you believe

You intend.

You manifest your intentions.

The universe gives you,

As you think and intend.

Your thoughts matter.

Believe well.

Think well intend well.

For it matters more than you know.
