The Antwerpen Christmas Market is spread out over several streets and squares lighting up the entire historical centre of Antwerp beautifully into a huge and happening zone to stroll around in…
Glowing in the night!
Beating the winters chill
Sitting by warm fire pits…
Sipping hot glühwein!
And the mistletoe?
Well its no small branch
But a giant one indeed!
Fit for all the crowd that gather under
Just to share their love for each other….💞

Bruges’ is an absolutely fascinating fairytale kind of town,and at night, under the moonlight, it’s magical atmosphere intensifies.
A canal trip in the Reie named after the river Roya totally worth it.

Second standard teacher started writing tables on the blackboard.
The whole class started laughing as she started writing because the first line was written wrong.
1×9=7, ❌
2×9=18, ✔
3×9=27, ✔
4×9=36, ✔
5×9=45, ✔
6×9=54 ✔
7×9=63 ✔
8×9=72 ✔
9×9=81 ✔
10×9=90 ✔
The teacher was waiting patiently till their laughter stopped.
I know, I have written the first line wrong. I wanted to teach an important life lesson on how this world will treat you.
I have written 9 lines correct here. None of you noticed that. But you all noticed the one line which was wrong and started laughing at me.
This is how the world will treat you. Even if you do things correctly for a thousand times, none will notice or praise you.
But when you go wrong even for one time they will notice and start criticising to ridicule you.
But you all should never get discouraged. Instead put your full effort to stand tall and firm in front of those who laughed at you, criticised you, or ridiculed you.
Another translation by my mother Anjana from a tamil forward
Wisdom in the challenges
Is in being the balance
Between action and inaction
Between movement and stillness
Between doing and non doing
And in this state of being
Awakening the truth of life& living
Between the more and the less
Between attachments & detachment
Realize the bliss of fulfiment
Realize the ease
In the letting go…

To a true artist
The medium is immaterial
Everything is association
The elements converge
Every thing connects
Subtlety emerges distinctly
Dancing to the winds of change
Inner motivation leads the way
To find meaningful expressions
In the myriad manifestations
Even in the seemingly banal existence
Creativity sparks from everywhere.
Such is state of fractal flow
Of Art & Artistry.
But then is there a true or fake artist?
For beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
And possibilities of creativity infinite
Art is a moment of reckoning
Of acknowledgement and appreciation
Evoking critical responses & feedbacks
In support or diversity of emotions
Forming new patterns in the experiences
Invoking the spirit of creation
Once more…
Savvy
Light a lamp of hope
Be an illuminator of hearts
Be led by the pull of passion
Envisage possibilities in faith
Envision the pathway beyond
In collaboration and connection
Your energy is expansive
Sense the synergies
Allow yourself to explore possibilities
The expansiveness of the spirit within
Light the pathway for others to follow.

Peace is a state of being
More than just a state of mind
Peace needs consistent practice
You have to nurture your heart
Towards a state of peaceful being
The mind wanders in a million ways
The heart flutters at a moment’s notice
Such is the way of life and living
So let your dancing heart & mind
Find their way towards coexistence
Acknowledging each of their diverse states.
Let their potential converge to strengthen
Let the sense of peace be understood well
Until peace becomes of a way of life.
Care to protect your peace.
Savvy
As you move forward
In expansiveness & inclusiveness
In the spirit of collaboration
Than mere competition
Gradually you begin to sense the strength
In the circle of conscious connections.

In deepest turmoil
Choose the power of Gratitude
For in its positive intentions
And glory of goodwill
Life turns harmonious
Every things aligns perfectly
And music resounds its magical melodies
All is well once again
Gratitude is gratefulness
In acceptance & acknowledgement
Of the grace in goodness
Bestowed upon us
No storm is too strong in its wake
Glory to the Gladiator of Hearts
The chaperone of connectedness
That seeks to invoke the strength
In these interconnects in life & living
For no man is too strong
As much as all of us together
I bow to the grace of Gratitude!
Savvy
If we are ready to explore
Beyond our limited existence
We begin to envision our potential
If we are ready to receive
We learn some more!
Our paths are unique in every now
And limitless are our possibilities
We are meant to evolve along the way
Such is the way of life
And yet …
We are all a work in progress
We cannot know it all
There is always room for more
Change is the only constant
While nature is abundant
Knowing is finite
Yet infinite are the possibilities!
Savvy
If you are feeling upset
Let time pass
Hurts will heal again
If you are angry
Let there be pauses
Anger will recede in the silence
If you are defeated
Let yourself know
That the world is a circle
The night breaks into a new dawn
With promises of a blessed new day!
So stay patient in perseverance
And know every phase has a reason to be
Learn to forgive and let go
And as all is meant to be well once again.

Your Energy speaks before you do
In every move there is energy
In the space that you occupy
In every step, your energy leads the way
Your thoughts your feelings & your action
Are interweaved and deeply interconnected
Acknowledge the energy of your being.

Life presents new paths at every turn
Every now has new learnings.
The trick is to be present in this moment
To understand the evolving perspectives
To be one with the changes that manifests
Be present Be adaptable Be receptive!

Care to enjoy the life in the moments !!!

Never put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket 🙂
The day you begin to do this, life jumpstarts :))
