When Simplicity Speaks

This week for me seems to be a traveling one, for work and pleasure and I am right now in a country where it is both common and fashionable to wear a lot of black. Can you guess which one?

And while you are at it, sharing this particular poem about black and white photography and I think I am co- relating to it literally here. Read on…

On black and white photography.

What is it about the black and the white

That evokes much emotion

In all its simplicity and elegance?

Monochrome has a surreal magic

That captures your attention

Strangely beguiling almost misleading

For it blurs the truths that appear

In the vividity of colour.

Yet it provides a stark definition

Devoid of any colour, yet not lifeless

It emotes through simplicity

Through the play of light and dark

Creating sensibilities and sustaining drama.

Both evocative and enigmatic in its elements

Inspite of the hidden hues.

Retaining charecter.

Reminiscent of old world charm

Of a translucent transparency.

A simplification of the complexity.

A composure of composition.

A completeness of capture.

What is Resonance?

Simply put

Resonance is a response

A response creating a movement

A movement that is the effect

The effect that comes from a cause

A cause that creates a change

A change that occurs in listening

In listening to the source

A source that creates a resonance.

A resonance is a response

In repetitive patterns

Creates harmony in nature.

Here is the Dictionary meaning of Resonance:- The sound produced in an object by sound of a similar frequency from another object.

In the above poem , I have tried to begin every new line with the last word in resonance. And yet keep it simple and short.

I enjoyed creating this piece hope you resonate with it too…

Imagine the effect of resonance

To the source coder of life

And the harmony it creates.

Flow in harmony

Let it flow…

In between the dance of forces

Is self adjusted neutrality

A flow in harmony.

In allowing to let go completely

Soon tension eases in the flow

In perseverance & patience.

In response than reaction

Creating positive transmutation.

In thoughts words and deeds

Till harmony becomes you.

To my circle of connections

Dear Readers & writers

We are an ever growing circle
Emerging through our words
In the sharing we have grown
We have eased into each other’s hearts
We may not see one another ever
But we have connected in mutual respect
Of each others creativity.
Though the power of words
Comforted and understood
Accepted and appreciated
One another in our own little ways.
For we all know the power of words
That, one heartfelt word can change a day!

Thank you all for being here and hoping for a joyful journey ahead together for us all.

Nurture Trees

When you plant & nurture trees

You nurture the world

For trees nurture life.

In thankfulness for nature

That survives all odds

The living trees

Are our pillars of support

Towards sustainability

Releasing oxygen for the planet

Every one of us owes everyone of them so much.

Thankfulness & Gratitude 🙏

To the kindred spirit of the soulful trees.

A beautiful moment

A throwback in time…

A memory rushed in through the photograph I chanced upon.

A decade or more back, I remember how I passionately volunteered to train seniors to dance at the local church in Mumbai. This photograph is a reminder of them praying together on my birthday.

And we celebrated with a cake…

I knew not them beyond the Dance class.

They knew not me beyond the dance

But this motley crew of seniors

Made me feel very special

On my birthday and on every Monday too.

The day of their dance class.

Meet we would at 6 pm sharp

Without fail come what may…

These warm and courteous seniors were always on time….

These simple unassuming souls

Somehow etched their place in my heart.

Will cherish the memories forever

I thank them for trusting me & having me around.

And more importantly for the kind prayers & blessings.

Grateful ❤️

Getting things done?

The busier a person seems

The less the person works

The more they delegate

For they value of time

And getting things done on time.

They believe in themselves

And take themselves lightly.

How often have you wondered

How some people manage it all

People rushing between deadlines

People having meetings with them

Continously consistently

And yet they appear unruffled

With a great sense of humor

A smile playing on their faces

And steel in their nerves

It is all about their organisation

Of things that matter on priority

And the ability to delegate

That makes things happen.

One person cannot accomplish

As much as a team of people

Dedicated to a purpose

Built by a determined leader.

Who believes, ‘I can’

For then the quantity of work

Gets improved by the quality…

What are your thoughts? Do share.

Life finds a way…

Life is strange
Strange is life
Just like that
Life turns around
Difficult becomes easy
Miseries come to an end
Problems find a solution
Trust in a deliverance
Hope against hope
Keep the faith
Life finds a way

On Giving

That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
William Wordsworth

On Giving


Give the good you have
Every time before the ask
Consciously consistently
Every time you do
You create space within
For more good to find its way in

In reality
Giving from all of you
Is much easier done than said
For all you need is to be you
Giving with all your heart
Making it a regular practice
Sensing true freedom in spirit
Aligning you with the Universe
A little more in every deed.

Memorable moments

There are always special moments in every one’s life
Making life meaningful and memorable
Often it’s pure serendipity…
When your memory jogs you to remember such a moment.


What makes the memory strong?
What you are associating it with,
That is what makes the memory stronger.

Next time pay attention to whatever you want to remember.
What emotions and feelings can you associate with it?
As your visualisation gets stronger
Your memory gets better and will  fade lesser in time.

Now remember to visualise with vibrance.
Choose as you please,
Scents & fragrances of places
Nature & friendships
Colours of Emotions
In all its vividity &feelings.

Soon you will build on all the happy times.
Keep adding your treasure chest of memorable moments.

Someday you will be thankful for it.

Bloom in Resilience

Moving beyond….bloom again

Did something happen? 
Did you get hurt?
Are you in pain?
Do you keep hurting
Time and time again
Still thinking of it
Is it the circumstances
That repeat itself?
Or is it you who has to change?

Are you ready?
To work on your own self?

Cultivate your inner strength
Release let go pain
Let go  slights & insults
Step by step
Bit by bit
Acknowledge the hurt
But overcome it
In practice learn to flow over it
And once you do
You move over it
Care to ask yourself
What is the hurt all about?
Where is it hurting the most?
Whatever your answer
Release it consciously
Let it go…
For the now is meant to change
Such is the truth of nature.

Its your life
You are responsible
To create a garden of your life
Make sure you strengthen
The walls with gratitude for life
Value the life in every now
Bloom some more
Be the best you can be!

Affirmations

What is travel to you?

To travel
Can be about discovery
Of the old in the new places
Leading you to pathways
That takes you back to your self

To  travel
Can be a sensing of serendipity.
A feeling of  dejavue
A memorable journey
Unexpectedly unto yourself.

To travel
Can be to witness
The stark reality of life
Perhaps a jolt of reality
Of places and people
As they are in comparison to what was once imagination.

To travel
Can be to learn and unlearn
To connect us to this now
With the truths of things
In places we visit
Know and unknown.

Keep traveling  far and near to find yourself a little more every time.

Space of Calm

Create a space of calm
Inviting you to a journey
Alluding you in subtlety
Through natural authenticity
Keeping it simple & minimal
With intriguing unintentionality
Allowing a space for austerity
Sparking divine connectivity
Evoking movements in the stillness.
Invoking stillness in the movements.

Interconnects


We live in a world where we are interconnected at the intersections .

A world piecing things together rapidly charging forward
A world where technology triumphs in everything we do.

A world where  there is greater  acceptance of  possibilities
Where potential is being explored in associations
A world where art and science are at interlinked at the crossroads
Meeting like no tommorow
Where art is created by logic and calculations
Of a programmed artifical intelligence
Where science is more and more accepting of the metaphysical
Where science is turning to seek answers in spirituality
And Spirituality is discussed scientifically
But then in the same breath
Is the emergence of the mystics & the art of Spirituality.

Everything links to one another

Leading the truths of being

All is in the strength of the interconnects
