Sometimes it takes lifetimes
To learn and unlearn
To do and undo
To birth and unbirth
To live and relive
Moving forward in time
Through and beyond
The karmic cycles
Of many a rebirths
To find eternal bliss
Soul to soul
To trust and to let go…
Savvy
When you arrive at being comfortable
At ease no matter the seeking and the knowing
At peace no matter the circumstances
In equanimity in the wisdom of the interconnects
You are awakening yourself…
To the profoundness of you.
In the subtlety of consciousness
Resides the truth of it all.
Savvy
In the journey of life, love appears, it shows many faces…
Love is matter of perspective.
It can pick the color of one’s mood.
It can make us generous.
It can make us selfless.
It can make us strong.
It can protect.
It can bind us
It can make us happy & can bring us bliss and blessings.
It can do magic and wonders.
It can make us feel light.
Another face of love
It can be possessive.
It can make us jealous.
It can make us angry.
It can make us weak
It can hide the loved one’s faults.
It can blind us
It can make us vengeful.
The extreme negative expression of love is hatred.
Choosing it positive or the other way is in our hands.
Which face do you want to choose ?
Divine love can make you see light.
Embodying this light, keep the journey on.
The path will be illuminated.
The journey will be a blessing.
Keep the love and light in your heart,
To make this journey pleasant .
A poem by my mother Anjana
There is great power in a circle that is inclusive and expansive.
Speaking of organizations a clear organisational structure helps to understand the relations of positions in an organisation with respect to position and authority. There are many ways that organisations are structured and each have their own pros and cons. Traditional flat structure to pyramid, circular to modern network structures etc. The value of taking the right structural approach in building organisations cannot be undermined.
The strength of circles:
The circle appears hierarchical with its power core and expansive with concentric spread of power yet its very strength is in its form that helps align values in teams.
For transformative change to align with the core values, trust and transparency is paramount to foster and this needs an inclusive and expansive approach inside out in a circular manner that is consistent to sustain. The organisation needs to support a circular structure with open door policies on communication, and work on learning and development to create accessible training programmes across the spectrum.
The circular structure has a clear psychological advantage in the form itself as leaders are not positioned at the top, making it easier for the vision accessible for one and all, thus increasing collaboration as it considers different departments as part of the same whole.
There are infinite possibilities of growth, in a circle of team, increasing a sense of belonging, mutual respect, and engagement of human potential, in the realisation that no one is as strong as all of us.

The path of silence
Creates the space for reflection
And deep contemplation
To query in introspection
Such that you arrive back
Answered by your own self
To flow with life again
Trust the power of silence
Silence shows the way.

Sky above, earth below, and fire within,
As I stand here,
Under the canopy of twinkling stars in the sky,
Sensing the nourishing earth under my feet,
And the fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.
The fire within, I nurture ,
As passion that fuels, my soul
A purpose that ignites, and a will to succeed,
A heart that beats, a dream to be freed.
Watching the sky above, clouds floating by,
Like a bird soaring I choose to fly,
And I wonder of infinite possibilities,
Until the setting sun, draws the moon at night.
I feel the fertile ground
Sense the abundance of nature.
A garden of life.
In every breathing life, is a universe within,
Bountiful beauty, to inspire dreams.
Sky above, earth below and fire within,
A journey of life, with a prayer in hope
To meet the mornings, awaiting the purpose of life.
With the spirit ablaze in my beating heart.

Sharing some stark truths of life that came my way on social media
Four Stages of Elimination in Life:
At 60, the workplace eliminates you. No matter how successful or powerful you were during your career, you’ll return to being an ordinary person. So, don’t cling to the mindset and sense of superiority from your past job, let go of your ego, or you might lose your sense of ease!
At 70, society gradually eliminates you. The friends and colleagues you used to meet and socialize with become fewer, and hardly anyone recognizes you at your former workplace. Don’t say, “I used to be…” or “I was once…” because the younger generation won’t know you, and you mustn’t feel uncomfortable about it!
At 80, family slowly eliminates you. Even if you have many children and grandchildren, most of the time you’ll be living with your spouse or by yourself. When your children visit occasionally, it’s an expression of affection, so don’t blame them for coming less often, as they’re busy with their own lives!
At 90, the Earth wants to eliminate you. Some of the people you knew have already departed forever. At this point, don’t be sad or mournful, because this is the way of life, and everyone will eventually follow this path!
Therefore, while our bodies are still capable, live life to the fullest! Eat what you want, drink what you desire, play and do the things you love.
Inspiration for Intention
Beneath the orange sun
I see rays of possibilities
Clearly forming patterns
That speak to me to draw
Out the truth of my soul.
Beneath the nurturing tree
I witness the quiet calm
Feel the gentle breeze,
Am hearing the buzzing bee
And the rhythm of my beating heart…
Beneath the golden moon
I sense the vividity of my heart
Of love that bonds boundlessly
As gleams of hope shines forth
Evoking abundance in my soul.
Beneath the infinite sky
I am open to receive
All the good that is,
And cross paths with it today
I choose to live with intention.
Savvy
Be all that you can
To become all that you want
Becoming what you want to be
Is a journey in time
Of highs and lows
To become is to envision
To intend consistently
The very same vision day in and out
To persevere time and time again
Without losing sight of your intent
To be passionate about what you are
To have patience in waiting
As you inch closer and closer
To become what you want to be.
And trust, what you are meant to be
Will always find a way!

Yesterday night a quote caught my eye…
Continue readingYou will continue to suffer if you
Warren Buffet
have an emotional reaction to
everything that is said to you
True power is sitting back and
observing things with logic. True
power is restraint. If words
control you that means everyone
else can control you. Breathe
and allow things to pass
All
That
You
Seek
Around
You
Already
Have
Within
You

A leap of faith
Is what makes life a life.
Take the chances
That you choose to let go.
Be intentional
So that life doesn’t slip away
Take the chance
May be they turn out
The best decision of your life.
They say opportunity does not knock twice.. So take a leap of faith.
So when you hear the calling of your heart & soul…
Trust you can and you can!

It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.
Henry Ward Beecher
True friends trust
In each other
They find comfort
And care to share & listen
The truth of what it is
Without fear or favour.
For they know the value
Of authentic advice
Without frills and fancies
Daring to bare the truth
Without colours of envy.
True friends matter
To each and every one of us.
We are better because of them
In trust, love, care & faith.
Count the blessings
Of true friends in this now.
How many such true friends can one count in life?

Sharing one of my earlier paintings today,
‘A Spread of Cheer! ‘
I personally love seeing it once again for its vibrant bouquet of colours.
Paintings have a way of depicting the emotions the painter carries…
Can imagine the joy and recreate the moment of bliss and wonder while I was painting it years ago.
Here’s to Health, Joy, Love, Happiness and all the positives in life …

Today is a new day…
Like a flowering tree blooming everyday, with hopeful buds
Make a promise to yourself to live and greet each day with enthusiasm.
Yesterday is gone by and today is a new day…
Let not your past
Come in the way
Of all that you are
Leave yesterday
And live today.
For your present
Is what matters
The past is lived
And this now
Is yours to live.
