Live Life Lovingly!

May be another day

A life can be lived forward

And in every moment, easier

If there is less regret

And more acceptance.

It makes living life worth it .

For if you keep looking back

Revisiting memories

A little too often

You will perhaps also sense

The number of times 

You didn’t do what you wanted

Saying maybe another day.

Reality is in realizing

This moment now…

Holds all you choose 

To make of it. 

It’s all embedded in it

Embody it in present

Live not in fear and worry

Seek comfort in past if you wish

But don’t dwell in it too long

Let the past be ,

For even if you want 

You cannot hold the hands

Of times gone by ..

Time ticks on

So move with time.

Acknowledge it &  regret less.

What is happiness to you?

Happiness is sensed 

In the moments

Loving myself  to be

To being, all that I can be

Allowing the self to enjoy

The life in the moments

Can be happiness to me.

I read this meaningful quote I share below…

‘Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and celebrating it for everything that it is’.

Mandy Hale

What is happiness to you?

Thankful for Dance

To dance is to move with all of you.

To dance is to have hope in the living.

To dance is to feel the spirit of life in the movement.

To dance is to know the value of time.

To dance is to feel the rhythm in the beat.

To dance is to sense the subtlety of life.

To dance is to acknowledge the life in every moment.

I share a capture of one of the International Dance Research Congress, that I was honoured to have attended in Athens.

Today is celebrated as the International Day of Dance…

Yet everyday I am thankful… and deeply grateful to the art of dance in bringing positive difference to my life.

Thankful to dance in my life, & all the wonderful people I have been priveleged to meet, connect, learn & share my passion for dance… 🙏✨

Thoughts matter

It’s not the words

But what we think

It’s not just the deeds

But how we do it

Our thoughts make us.

Or break us.

In every  now.

Thoughts matter.

What do you think?

Organized Nature

3 Comments

Behold …
There is delight in disorder
There is underlying harmony in the chaos
There is joy in the uncaliberated
There is peace in abandon
A freedom to grow
In the wilderness of spirit
Untamed unshackled..
Unrestricted unbound
There in that horizon beyond
Where the earth meets the sky
Find nature in its true form
In untouched pristine glory
There is abundance there is flow
An unravelled mystery ….

Behold this

Human

organised

delibration organizing nature
A pretty sight to behold
Perhaps a visual treat
A work from the heart
An artists vision
An engineering of marvel
Of outstounding technicality
Of uniformity par excellence
Of colours in a pattern
Arresting landscaping
Structuring the unstructured….

organised1

Ingenuity of man Interweaving nature
Interspersing with creativity
Flourishing fields
A rainbow on earth
Painstaking perfection
Magnanimous task
Cultivating in collaboration
Perseverance and patience
With teamwork and texhnicality
Stupendous effort
A haven on earth
A sight to behold …
Imploring you to feast
Your eyes on a visual treat…

Wisdom of moderation

Tilting to the extremes

Causes imbalance

In overthinking

Overdoing

Or even overindulging

Creates excess and rots life.

Wisdom of moderation

Is found in balance

Align thoughts align life

All of you

Each day of life

Brings forth many moments

Like no two waves are the same

The good tidings of your life

Come and envelope you

When you least expect it

Surf them with joy

Know they come to you

As and when they are meant to

Be present in the moment

Enjoy them wholeheartedly

Bring all of you  to sense the good.

So you are angry?

So you are angry?

Now what?

Do you think it is helping you ?

For anger never helps

It only hurts .

Here are six things you can do for balancing your emotions and feeling better.

1.Become Aware that you are reacting than responding  in your anger is the first step

2.Counting backwards  from 20 to 1.

3. Removing yourself from the place you are feeling angry even for a short while by going for a short walk helps settle your emotions.

4. Switch words is a technique to use feeling oriented words to  create powerful change of emotions with imagery to manage anger.

For example a positive word like Happy can evoke different  feelings.

Or words like ‘take it easy ‘can  evoke a sense of ease.

5. Better still  is taking to chanting mantras, or hearing your favorite upbeat music , or even Journaling. 

6. If nothing else imagining ocean tides in a flow and breathing deeply, in and out  even for a few minutes eases the tense body & mind.

Remember  to acknowledge  your emotions  as there is more harm in suppression. As you find healthy  pathways to manage your anger, you bring wellbeing  into your life

Live life lovingly💙

Spark of the divine

Power of Imagination  takes you places. It’s your choice  where you want to be or go. It’s in you what you choose to imagine .

Divine Sparks

Simply imagine the infinite power of possibilities of the soul. And the pinnacle and the depths of infinite potential .The greatest depths is of the soul within… a spark of the divine!

Journey within :
As one deepens the focus in the inward journey of awareness, greater empathy is felt for the world outside , and when the focus is towards the outer materialistic world the focus turns towards being more self centered than self aware.

What do you think?

Perfectly Imperfect

We are what we are
As humans we are vulnerable beings, strengthened by our very vulnerability.
As for our notions of the  nuances
As for our presumptions and prejudices
Along with our unique sense of self contrived our otherwise
We are only human we are capable of being humane.


We are alive & breathing in this now
And no matter the despair and frustration
No matter the weight of the world
No matter the fragmented existence
No matter our human fragility…
We carry on as we are
exploring & discovering
thriving and creating
history…


We are complete beings in our acknowledging incompleteness.
We are perfect beings with all our so called imperfections.

And we strive to do our best with what we have

If everything is complete and perfect then there would be no wonder to evolve us along…

As that’s what makes us who we are.

Precious life



Spirit of life and living

Makes the soul

Find purpose & meaning

Treat the body as a temple.

Make friends with your mind.

Allow the body & mind to coexist.

Let them be harmonious

The life feels just right!

To be really healthy and truly well,

Let’s remember to not only treat our body right,

But our mind and soul.

On intentions

Are you feeling a sense of purpose

Are you keen on a purposeful life

Then question yourself

Are you effective?

If you value your life

And know you are not just born

There is always a path you can create

Towards actualizing your intention.

If you are effective in the way you choose to accomplish it

You can make the best of what God has gifted you .

On Fame

Fame is the shadow of passion standing in light

Kahlil Gibran

When a good deed

A noble act

Invokes fame

Fame stays on…

Entrenched in light of goodwill.

Embedded in that light

Passion perseveres.

Such a fame is worth experiencing…

And yet there is always  a price to fame

While fame brings glory

It also brings expectations along

To live up to … for a lifetime.

There is loss of privacy

As you sway into the limelight

Being in the public eye can be daunting

There can be a loss of personal freedom.

Even though  it creates opportunities

For it presents platforms

As it changes equations.

As it builds reputation.

Thoughts go on the desire for fame.

Even tbough there is a price to fame

Or would one choose the world of obscurity?

What are your thoughts on fame?

Do share.

Nostalgia

A throwback…

I have fond memories of black and white photographs taken by my dad in his old box camera. The three pictures that I can quickly recollect are a representation of my world back in the era of black and white. Be it watching the swaying coconut trees and the shimmering water on moonlit nights, or the artistry of those antique time pieces collected by my grandfather and of course those lively evenings in my childhood years, where the old gramophone would play so invitingly that we would all be waltzing and jiving away to evergreen hits. Yes nostalgia filled me in those verses, but with happy memories.

Black and white photography

An art form for a connoisseur

Aesthetics of understanding

Of the clarity of line

That plays hide and seek

So much resemblance

To the wisdom of time.

In seeking is the blending

Of reflections dissolving

Ever so hard to pin down

Faded visions blurred memories

Reminding of colour through our senses

Perspectives differ in the past recalled

Comparisons translucent in the semi presence.

An important feature

Are the shades of grey

Areas masked and marked,

Blurring to focus

Uncaliberated and undeliberated

Between the lines

Adding enigma

Surreal feelings

A take back in time

Of notions in nostalgia.

Inside Outside

Today I thank in gratitude

The power of the mind

The heart and the spirit

Our body is blessed

With many gifts of the soul

Which we are yet discovering

The strength of intentions

The power of intuition

Of conscious awareness

In practice of mindfulness

Of possibilities in our potential

In the movements of stillness

In the stillness of moves

In the silence of meditation

All, in this journey within

Betwixt inside outside & beyond…
