All is not light
All is not dark
Between both
The day & night
Are shades & tones
Existing in every now
Nothing is definite
Where there is infinite
In ways & deeds
Then who are we
To judge one another
And frame them
As only black or white.
If we only could understand
The story of every shade
And every tint & tone of light.
We would think twice
Before the final verdict.
So much to discover
So much to understand
So much to know more
On who we are.
Savvy
Sink not into the mire
In doubts of despair
Choose to move yourself out
In thoughts words & deeds
Engage with your passions
Dedicate your time with purpose
Light in yourself a spark of fire
Choose to move through
And well beyond the mire.
Savvy
Light
A space of darkness
Is bound to beam with light
Clarity
A space of uncertainty
becomes a space of clarity.
Breath
In the inhale of purpose
Perseverance exhales with passion
Thoughts
In the racing of thoughts
A quiet mind finds itself.
Mind
A mind that allows itself to know
Can be inclusive in expansiveness.
Heart
A heart that wanders
Can be the heart that wonders
Of the yet unknown.
Flowing unbridled with spirit
It can find its anchor in time.
Peace
A place of great unrest
Is truly the place for peace.
To seed and nurture
And evolve the being.
Success
Success births itself
In every bud to a bloom.
In every new moment.
Savvy Raj
An unrealized dream
An unexplored adventure
A challenging adversity
A twist of fortune
An unexpected detour
An unwanted influence
An undervalued feeling
A undermined self-esteem
A slew of slights
A spate of illness
A foreboding feeling
An unfinished business
An unforgivable mistake
An unfortunate moment
All may seem reason enough
But the reality is these are excuses
Remind your life happens.
Time is moving its course
Buck up and reset your path
For you know in your heart
You are enough for you.

Wished a very enterprising friend
On his birthday today
Umpteen solar cycles wise
He has weathered
the storms of life
And yet through it all is a joy to connect
I paused a moment
when I read his reply
beyond the thank-you.
In his words…
“My days are long and boring, but at this stage of my life, boring is a desired quality.
May life give you what you desire the most at every stage of your life”.
His words touched my heart
It speaks much of a spirit
wanting to do much more
A recognition of boredom,
Is the desire to unravel life
some more.
Boredom creates a space
Between the steps
In realization and acknowledgement
Of the preciousness of time
And that is in itself, valuable
For it is allowing you to tap
into potential possibilities.
And discover something more,
awaiting your creativity
on the other side of boredom.
In finding the good in boredom
Life isn’t so boring after all!
I thank my friend for his kind blesses &
I wish my dear friend
a fascinating birthday
that lights up his day
and brings joy to his heart.

Your life is a result of your choices
From what you eat
What you watch
What you hear
What you speak
Whom you befriend
Whom you bear
Whom you meet
To the thoughts you think
It’s all in what you choose
To allow & let go.
Savvy
Wither not yourself away
Weathering the storms
Every life finds itself
In the whirlpool of chaos.
And often unfortunately so.
Pick yourself up
Dust away the doubts
Don your best attitude
And look ahead
At a not so distant time
And trust in yourself
For storms precede the calm.
Sense the strength of spirit
Moving towards your purpose
Know every storm has one
Find yourself on your way
To fulfilling your soul purpose.
Savvy
To swim and surface
Is daring the waves.
Like any ocean surfer knows
We are all equal before a wave.
While you may not be able to control everything
And learning curve may be steep
You adapt to ride the waves.
For waves are a part of the flow
In the cycle of life.
A wise leader knows
the highs and lows
Are part of the same flow.
Savvy
To evolve into a better version of the self…
You incrementally make the moves towards it.
If you sense frustration and angst choose to make sense of where you are in this now…
Are you angry at something beyond your control?
When you realise you cannot change another then be wise to improve yourself.
Be assertive and you will sense confidence.
Choose to be self aware and have the courage to dare to speak for yourself.
You are your best friend, you don’t need anothers validation.
Own your truths. Both strengths and weaknesses. And work on improving your self in conscious ways, step by step .
It all starts with you taking the step.
Would you agree?
Savvy
How do you navigate the challenges of life by staying practical?
Acknowledging changes by being adaptable Yet standing up for what you believe, and saying no assertively, when you want to say no, without fear and doubts of what people will say.
Staying humble and grateful yet dedicated & focussed , no matter the vagaries of life.
Being able to move on from errors or failures, without becoming stagnant.
Being kind to oneself with self care.
And then most importantly allowing every failure to become stepping stones of learnings.

My 80 plus father and I were having a nice conversation this morning. I asked him, what is the difference between your generation and today?
What did you all have then that today that we don’t have today?
He said it in one line: Freedom of time. It’s so true.
Today’s world is fully connected but caught in the web of it’s own doing.
Today everything is caught on camera.
No one is truly free.
Whether at work or after,.. your work follows you .You are always available and connected even when you travel…
Life is actually more complicated with all these so called devices of technology.
Even simple joys of life are difficult to experience for lack of time.
No one is truly free.
Chained to the machines of their own making…
In the name of Work from home and work life balance, we are getting more work home that there is no downtime. Weekends no longer feel different. All are in a rat race in time. Until we mutually agree and consciously think of taking time out and act on it , life seems to fall into a rut of routine that we forget we are meant to live and not just exist .
Savvy Raj
The way we see the world
Changes our experiences.
Lesser expectations
Greater contentment
Lesser assumptions & doubt
Greater trustfulness
Lesser hopelessness
Greater possibility
Lesser the complexity
Greater the clarity.
How do you see the world?
Savvy
The world around us
Is interacting all the time
The way we choose
Becomes us.
And each of our choices
Through our intentions
Becomes deeds of our doing.
It’s all in us
In the thinking and intending
For the good of all
Beyond the self.
Savvy
Every move has a reaction
In the cause and effect world
Forms shifting shapes
Colours changing hues
Where even the blink of an eye
A touch of the breeze
Or even a silent intention
Can set off a symphony in response
For all is aligned in connection.
Twisted or helical structure
In a Self arranging universe
Reflecting retracting
Rotating revolving
Tuning itself in time
Blending in the balancing
Altered by sensitivity in subtlety
Interplay of Intelligence
Telling phenomenonal stories
Holding immense possibilities
In its infinite potential
Awaiting mindful application
In the journey of awakenings .
All is a dance of matter.
Savvy
.
The vibrancy of nature
The adaptability of creation
The constancy of change
The arresting colours
Unshackling of spirit
The inter connections
Soulful vibes and sounds
Imparting wisdom profound
And not to forget
The enthralling views
Are all things I love about nature
What about you?
