One who knows the worth of life
Cannot afford to waste
Even a single moment of life
Care to take a step
Towards a more meaningful life.
Every now is awaiting your awareness
To envision the potential within
Every new day is a gift of possibilities
Care to make today count!

When we become conscious of time
It moves very slowly.
When we are immersed in something time flies.
When our thoughts wander on its own
Again time moves fast.
We never know how long we are lost in our own idle thoughts
That time took a backseat.
When we are asked to meditate or observe our breath
Time never moves,
Those 5 minutes never seems to end.
When we know all the answers
Time flies
Whereas when we go blank
Time never cease.
When waiting for someone we love
Time extends
While in their presense it flies
5 minutes or 5 hours
The duration remains the same.
What makes the difference is
our mind,
the master co ordinator
It can bend time at its will
Lengthy or short as it wants.
Make us it’s slave without our own awareness.
We assume what it wants us to think as our own.
Be it time , emotions or our understanding.
Such is the power of this invisible master.
When we learn the
Art of mastering this master
Time stands still.
Seamless transfer of Now
Ever being in the present.
Sharing this musings on time by my mother Anjana
On song writing:
“We human beings are tuned such that we crave great melody and great lyrics. And if somebody writes a great song, it’s timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there’s going to be a real appreciation.” -Art Garunkel
What is great music to you?
Is it the song how it sounds to you ?
Do you pay attention to the lyrics?
Sometimes great lyrics alone don’t make a great song,
And often great song has hardly any depth to its lyrics
So what are your favorite or evergreensongs the ones you listen to always?
What is it that makes it, to your favorite list?

Your approach changes everything
The way you live
The way you work
The way you play
Choose to look forward to finding the joy
In whatever you do
If you can find something to better
Something to improve from
Something to grow and expand potential
Then by all means focus on it
Spend time to learn possibilities
Making work feel better than before
Find the meaning & purpose
In whatever you do
Work to make a positive difference
Tweak your approach tweak your life

Covid has come
Covid will go
Herd immunity
Now at play
Will leave
With markings
Of a common flu
And yet the waves
Will leave us
Imprints of Resilience
In the cells of our being
Progressively in time
But speaking of the future
If we are able to see
Beyond the nightmare
Of the past
There is a shift
In the way of life
Of the way of living
At work & at play
The impacted have wisened
Earlier than others
But there is an awareness
No less in the rethinking
Of the workplace that works
From physical to hybrid.
Exploring possibilities
With our virtual connections
With precious commute time saved
Families have sensed the togetherness
Experienced the pros & cons of wfh
Yet work has continued
Buisness collapsed yet many revived
Reinventing the ways of work
A sense of knowing prevails
All is not lost
For technology has come in aid
Of mankind at its hour of need
A semblance of normalcy regained
But with a redesigned version
Of what is the new normal
Organization operates
Repattererned in the sensing
Of what is redundant
And what actually works!
Hope is here to stay…

Disciple:
What is poison?
Guru:
When we have something more than our needs it becomes poison. It can be power, wealth, love, hatred or even hunger.
Fear?
When we do not accept impermanence it becomes fear.When we accept impermanence it becomes adventure.
Jealousy?
When we are not ready to accept the goodness of others it becomes jealousy. When we start accepting it becomes a motivational force.
Anger?
When we cannot bear things happening beyond our control it becomes anger. When we start accepting it becomes tolerance.
Hatred?
Not accepting others as they are, turns into hatred. Unconditional acceptance becomes love.
A profound post share in Tamil translated by my dear mother Anjana.
If we were to only reach deeper
Than we know see or believe
Is the truth and begin to accept
And acknowledge the yet unknown
The unfamiliar & the unexplored
Structured to the unstructured
The understandable to the inexplicable
Sensations in our emotions.
All vying for our attention
Or even the patterns manifesting itself…
In space continuum
We are opening ourselves
To the spectre of multi dimensions
Possibilities are infinite
Fractality of creativity.

Give life everything you’ve got, and life will give its best back to you.
Trust life to deliver
Everything at the right moment
But most of all
Believe in your life
Believe in yourself!

A little bit of freetime and a mobile phone art app in your hand can make the moments come alive…
I started to paint the screen with all my favorite colors… but then somehow somewhere in between I sensed a face pop and I continued to sketch away at leisure and found a face staring righton .
Now the face was somewhat serious and I just could not gel with that, as the moment was anything but that, so I just had to play with my fingers on the screen just a bit and lo and behold that face was more appealing to me now.
It’s a work in progress…Yes I could have gone on refining this piece,there is a lot of room for it, but somewhere I just stopped adding more to it ,perhaps I might pick it up in posterity and paint some more.
P.s Must mention I used no stylus, just my fingers for this one. I thoroughly enjoyed creating this piece of art.
How did you like my mobile art ?
Which face resonates with you today?

Value of power of peace within you…
Today in this moment
Are you ready
To partner with peace
Do you have the power
Of a grateful heart
That knows to live light
And waltz in harmony with life!

How intuitive are you?
Do u sense the subtlety
In nature and its mystical ways
Of sending signs and symbols your way?
For you to understand perspectives
Beyond assumptions & notions
To create an insightful vision
Of the unfolding realms
Of the possibilities in the potential.
There is always a reason
Why you are gifted with intuitive intellect.
Consider ways to use it for goodwill
Think larger, widen your perspectives
For the world at large
Can you use this subtlety of knowing
And leave heartprints of Serendipity?

Peace begins in our hearts
In our actions in awareness
Peace spreads its wings
Unfolding its magic
Interspersing the seeds of peace
In the hearts of humans
When we embrace ourselves
With all our conflicts and chaos
With our inexplicable challenges
We embrace the peace
Already deeply embedded within
In between and betwixt
The rest and movement
Peace regenerates itself
In the middle path
Peace finds its balance.
In the path of Equanimity

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….💞

On beliefs
Irony of cognition
As long as our beliefs are taking us through
We are comfortable
But if our beliefs, blur our vision
We are confounded
We become guarded
And want to protect our opinions
Even if they are erring
In fact we are most hostile
When we are aware deep within
How wrong we actually are !
Rather than allowing ourselves to evolve
We step in our own way of growth
Becoming mental contortionists
Twisting and turning
With the assumptions & notions of truth
Until we find an angle that upholds
Our current views.
Our beliefs can be our strength as much as our weaknesses. In allowing ourselves to accept something new or different to what we are used to or expect, we begin to open up our minds and hearts.
Think about your own beliefs, are there moments where you were challenged by your own beliefs,
Were there times when you feel that some of your own beliefs need a thinkover?
Often we assume we are totally in the know and believe it to be so like a frog in the well.
Yet the truth shows up differently from these illusions we live in, and then we realize how far away from the truth we actually are!
There is always more…
Possibilities in the infinity
So much more to learn
So much more to discover
So much more to explore
So much more to know…
