Beauty in the ordinary

Where time ticks onwards too fast

In a rushing world

With no time to stand and stare

The beauty is in the ordinary… 

An unforgettable vegetarian lunch in China.

In simple sharing, 

Of a space,

Of a meal ,

Of being with one another

Valuing time spent joyfully

With family & friends

That makes the day magical.

Organized Nature

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

Wisdom Of Trees

Trees store secrets

Echoing in the echelons

In their barks and trunks

In the leaves and stems

In them is a wealth of wisdom

Of times gone by

To discover for the future…

Nurture nature

Save trees.

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💙

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.

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.

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…

Hope is here to stay

Today I share not one but two different scenarios as poems, I have written for the following verses on hope. 

Do share your thoughts on it.

“Her eyes wander to find him

Amongst a sea of faces

Knowing he is there somewhere

Hope is here to stay “

The first love

She was a teenager  in love

For the very first time

She felt the joy

To express with all her heart

The joy of being with another

Two hearts  so full of love

In a world all their own.

He wrote her poems

And read each one out loud

It was an idyllic love

Too good to be true

And in time life happened

And they parted ways

But the feelings still the same 

Etched in memories

And never forgotten

No matter the ravages of time. 

Yet life never stops for any one.

Life brings in beautiful moments

That makes life worth living 

People come people go

But memories, last at eternity…

The Mother

She is old and wrinkled

Yet oft her memories rush

To that fateful day

When a trip to the beach

With friends and family

Changed her life forever.

For as the sun set on that day

In that crowded beach 

She lost her only son

And the meaning to live on.

And to this day,  in every crowd

Her eyes look out

Searching for her little son 

In a sea of faces

No matter the river of time …

Life has its own challenges

For every life in the living

But hope is unending

For hope is here to stay.

Miracle of Autumn

Miracle of autumn

Colours changing season

Rich burnt orange rust

Fill leaves of green as they fall

As if announcing arrival of fall

Signaling animals and birds

To prepare ahead of the cold

Of winters frost on the anvil

To brace the changing weather.

A season of love & embrace

Of  long walks with loved ones.

Of long nights and shorter days

That heads through to winter.

Make the best of the changes.

Strength of the soul

A glimpse of the intangible

Is often visible through signs

Like the strength of the soul

Appears in true forgiveness

In letting go of  fear of failure

In ability to start all over again

In letting go of negativity

In ability to center the self

In letting go of revenge mentality

In the ability to share kindness

In sensing the lightness of being

In awareness of the bigger picture.

The strength of the soul shines through.
