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.

Life lessons
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
At ease
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…

Journey on
Journey on until you meet yourself
For embedded along the path
Of many echelons of time,
Life leaves imprints on the living.
There will be many experiences
That would make your soul cry
Out in pain and pleasure,
Sensing connections
Beyond this lifetime.
Journey on, nevertheless,
For in meeting the many
Moments that may seem enmeshed with you,
You will be closer to yourself.
In travelling along
Come moments that seem
To speak straight to the heart
Of the truth of your being.
All is familiar, there is déjà vu.
You know the scenario only too well
For you know you have been right here.
All else is immaterial and immaculate.
You won’t need any guide
Then as you partake in the joy
Of this meeting with this being
You know you have found yourself.

Artistry
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…

Be an illuminator
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.

Grace of Gratitude
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!

Work in progress
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!

Without a doubt
Translated from tamil forward by my mother Anjana
A young couple went to live in a new place.
Next day morning sipping tea they were looking out of the window. Their neighbour was drying clothes on the clothline. She doesn’t know to wash clothes properly. Look at the dirt on thair clothes. The wife said. Without replying the husband was looking.
This became a daily routine. Their time coincided n everyday the wife will comment about the dirt in their clothes while the husband was listening silently.
Suddenly one day the wife said atlast today the clothes are clean. She has learnt to wash well.
Quietly the husband replied ,. ‘ I cleaned our window glasses today morning. ‘
This is what happening in today’s lifestyle. Our uncleaned glasses make other’s things look dirty. But we never suspect our glasses.
Whether or not, there is some flaw with another we are ready to comment instead of finding the reason behind it.
The secret to thriving
The secret to thriving
Is in nurturing the qualities
That creates wellbeing
In ourselves and around us
Generating goodwill & interconnections
Helping create a more resilient world
Empowered in empathetic humanity
Than just the survival of the fittest.

On Connectedness
Whenever there is a connected effort , the result is a sharing with a new level of understanding.
Where the ‘I ‘and’ Me’ merges to the’ We and the Us.
This is what makes it all inclusive and expansive at the same time.
Connectedness is a great pathway in opening up hearts !

The power within you!

Have hope to turn life for the better
Keep your dreams alive
Trust the power within you.
