Our words breathe the truth of our souls
The way we feel deep within
Somehow find a way to breathe in and out
To find their own sense of balance
The words we speak, the words we think and the words we write. We have a mind, body, spirit connect with our words.
In fact our words can be both…
The energy of our emotions
Raining relentlessly
And also the signature of our souls!

Often in the daily grind of life
We begin to take things for granted
Everyone we have with us
Every gift we are given in time
Every solution that solved issues
Every answer that came our way
The light of this day
The bliss of a restful sleep
A smile from a stranger
That made your day
A helping hand when in need
Nurturing home made food
Unconditional love from a furchild
And so much more..
Life gives you much
It’s in us to acknowledge
And recognise the good in our way
And appreciate this now
For all that which you already have!

Whenever spirituality is discussed… there is always a question as to what is spirituality? And what is its significance in our lives?
Spirituality is a sensing of connection. The first step towards spirituality is about understanding the self as we are and then it’s an understanding of something greater than the self.
Simply put the spiritual significance of our lives is in the way we choose to live our lives.
To me spirituality is a sense of being & becoming a better person than yesterday, in selfawareness,in empathic connection, in being compassionate and kinder human being.
There are many pathways to explore spirituality and it’s unique to each of us.
It’s a pathway to finding the truth of your being and living life lovingly!
From yoga and movement arts to prayer and divination, the way we approach spiritual practices is varied and as unique as us.
What is spirituality to you?
Do you consider yourself a spiritual person?
What are your kind of spiritual practices?

Living life truths
As the threads of time ties us
In a tapestry of weaves
We make our choices
We chance upon our paths
Lighting it up, in our own unique ways…
Painting our dawns with hope
And the dusks with dreams
Brushing light of the rays & beams…
Cherishing our moments in this now
Colouring our dreams with intentions that matter
Living loving
Giving receiving
We shape our lives…
Acknowledging our thoughts
Accepting our errors of judgements
We all evolve in the tapestry of time
Embracing ourselves in self respect
Embodying our faith in trust
Unfurling our passions in time
Unveiling our purpose on earth
Until we find our truths of being.

Towards Clarity
Converging from all directions.
With unformed shapes, unlinked thoughts.
Merging at the centre as a Guiding Star
The sign of hope, light and promise for a positive tomorrow.
Savvy
The day you realize
Your potential
You begin to explore possibilities
And you even make
The impossible possible
Care to ask yourself…
Are you safeguarding your boundaries
Or being too accepting
That you tolerate more than you truly should.
What are you hoping for?
Is it approval and validation
Are you waiting for another
To love you?
Perhaps you need to celebrate
Who you are!
Remember you are truly enough for you!

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.

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?

I wrote this piece with respect for so many entrepreneurial spirits and their enterprise. Who catapult to fame and recognition but then often find themselves unable to sustain themselves. And the heart-wrenching truth is that not all have the resilience and the capability to bounce back.
But life is a circle and change is the order of nature.
In the toughest of rounds
Keep the faith and patience
And trust time to show the way…
Ladders that lead
The climb is a chase, but the fall is steep.
So persevere on beyond just the achievement.
Be tenacious in ascent & resilient in descent.
Ladders that lead you higher in the name of career success, fame and glory lead you to so much more than just that. As you climb each step gradually, you inch closer to your dreams.
You are chalking your life in every move. And then in the pinnacle of your success…
You realize you have reached your goal.
Here is the point of discernment
As you observe, check the signs around you
Are you ready to play the game of survival?
You will receive less warmth here than ever before.
Your colleagues will change their minds
Think twice before supporting you.
Fear not and keep on going
Stay mindful in the moment.
Ladders are meant to go up and down. If you have climbed up you must know to establish your survival modes else there is the ladder that brings you down.
But it’s twice much harder to bear, on the way down than the challenges you face on the way up.
What do you do when ladders do the disappearing act?
Sometimes the ladder vanishes
And there is no clear way to step down
Except for a blind leap of faith.
There may be darkness and uncertainty
Sadness and silence
Shame and blame
All devastating effects
Of loss and failure
Yet the trick is to go on
Correcting your ways
Learning from the experience
And letting go of past foibles.
Mistakes make you more aware
Hurt a little and you are cautious
In pain there is understanding
It’s what to watch out for!
Paths that may seem easy
May get you embroiled in complexities.
Watch yourself along the way
For the journey takes all of you!
You will encounter much support on the way up
But once you are catapulted into the halls of fame…
You will find many critics and judgments
From those watching with interest
How you are managing it from here.
With all those judgemental eyes on you
One slip is a sure fire miss and costs a lot!
Watch your every stepand move
For you are being followed
Here is where your resilience is tested!
Stay true to who are.
Look ahead as you trust yourself.
Paths can appear out of nowhere.✨🙏✨

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!
I pray…
Let the words that pour
Make a meaningful difference
Let the thoughts that flow
From these words empower
To create a change for the better
