Peace Matters
Much more than anything else
For without it
Success has no meaning
True success is…
When the heart & mind
Knows peace within
Success becomes meaningful

On Balance
A story from Mahabharata
Once Arjuna asked Krishna-
Madhav.. What is this ‘successful life’?
Krishna took Arjuna to fly kites.
Arjuna was watching Krishna carefully flying a kite.
After a while Arjuna said-
Madhav.. Because of this thread, the kite is not able to move freely and upwards, should we break it? It will go higher.
Krishna broke the thread..
The kite went up a little more and then came down after waving and fell at a distant unknown place…
Then Krishna explained the philosophy of life to Arjuna.
Parth.. ‘The height we are at in life..
We often feel that certain things to which we are tied are preventing us from going higher; like :
-House-
-family-
-Dicipline-
-mother-father-
-master-and-
-Society-
And we want to be free from them…
In fact, these are the threads – which keep us at that height.
‘Without these threads we will go up once, but later we will have the same fate that happened to a kite without thread…’
“So, if you want to remain on the top in life, then never break your relationship with these threads.”
The height attained by successful balance of thread and kite-like attachment is called ‘successful life..”
Travel Diaries
Musings on a flight from France Amsterdam
Onwards and upwards
Here I am traveling light
With heartfelt gratitude
In the giving and receiving
Sight of fresh colors of flowers
In clothes people are wearing
Is a sea change from the mostly black monotones
Sensing summer vibes in the air.
Remembering the romance of Parisian bylines
Hope the time forward is full of hope and possibilities
Looking forward to new experiences …
Every country has a unique culture
Tuning in to the collective personas
Like tasting the wine in every sip
Travel can be a truly an immersive experience.
All it needs is a willingness to travel & adapt to the changing scenarios
And a spirit of tolerance as much as the love for freedom.

Turning of time
Being a Witness to the wonders..
The unabashed beauty of this world is but an illusion.
Marking time in the constancy of change.
Whatever good is in this moment is a gift of now
To wonder in awe and receive in gratitude…
And when reality bites as the seasons change.
It is in us to learn to witness without want but with understanding and patience.
As all is in the turning of time….

On perspectives
When you look at other people through a lens of compassion and understanding rather than judgment and jealousy, you are better able to see them for what they are—human beings.” ~ Unknown
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.

Just another day back in time.
Exactly eight years ago!
With love from Athens Greece … 🙂 At the World Dance Research Congress Greece UNESCO as a representative member from India 🙂
An example of Unity in Diversity…. Approximately 400 conferees from 40 countries of the 5 continents.!
Today in India, so glad to write this, the dance community that represents India internationally has grown from strength to strength … yet ‘Spot me’ if you can … I was the only woman representative from India at that time.
An amalgamation of such an association and the resulting experiences leaves one enriched for a life time. The practice resulting thereof in pursuit of excellence becomes important. In the awareness of the possibilities in dance applications on the human psyche and form, the responsibility of making a positive difference in your purpose is strengthened.
Power to more such immersive and experiential collaborations in the art of dance movements across the world. 🙏

Who am I?
This is a different kind of post.
Have been writing and sharing my thoughts and reflections here on WordPress for many years now. Many of you have been with me in this journey off and on and some of you consistently so… and for both I am full of gratitude.
Through these poems and prose my life’s experiences and explorations have often been my muse in the musings.
Just wondering out loud how am I perceived through these words. And what do you sense of me intuitively?
Would you care to share?
It’s simply a self exploratory share to learn and understand some more and I sincerely hope to hear from you.
In return I too will try my best to share my understanding of you through your posts.
Could I know through this post how do you perceive me?
Who am I ?

Travel on
If you are given an opportunity to take a journey
Take it, for you meet many versions of you.
Along the road.
Some you cherish, some cherish you.
Some that change you and some that you change.
Fear not the travel or the traveling…
For one thing is certain
You come away enriched and wiser in every journey.
Travel to liberate yourself
From self assumed notions
To see the light on the other side
There is much to unlearn and unbox
As you travel yield in to the insights
Travel every once in a while if opportunity arises,
Take the chance,
You are richer in your explorations much as your experiences.
Travel on …

Help ever hurt never
Hands that help are holier than lips that pray 🙏
What is that makes you reach out to help?
Is it because of your nature or nurture?
What makes you stop yourself from reaching out ?
Is it fear of repercussions and ridicule
Only when the hands that help multiply in numbers…
Is there hope for the hurt ragged or bullied.
Every help every voice makes a difference
To someone somewhere.

Body intelligence
Art of life
Is about living
With care and consideration
Being aware of moderation
Everything is best in balance
For excess is wastage
Of precious resources
When body mind and soul
Choose in consciousness
Tap into your body intelligence

A true friend
A friend in need is a friend in deed
True friends have your back
True friends help whenever wherever
Without saying a word.
Yet have much to say to you
When you are short of good counsel
They care to listen when you need a listening ear.
And tell you the truth as it is for your own good.
It’s a gift of life to have even one true friend.
Cherish your friendships and nurture them forever more.

▪️ Exercising the legs, is never too late, even after the age of 60 years.
▪️Although our feet/legs will gradually age with time, exercising our feet/ legs is a life-long task.
Walk 3000-7000 steps
▪️Only by regular strengthening the legs, one can prevent or reduce further aging. Walk 365 days
▪️ Please walk for at least 30-40 minutes daily to ensure that your legs receive sufficient exercise and to ensure that your leg muscles remain healthy.
Do share this valuable information with all your friends & family members, as everyone is ageing on a daily basis…
