You find yourself

It is a conscious choice in awareness to be in this now…
It’s about being intentional about what you choose to do.

So choose to surround yourself with those who lift your spirits.
Choose to be intentional on being with people who you appreciate and who you enjoy being with.
People who you feel bring out the best in you
And choose to truly care and cherish these people.

Inside
What is…
Inside of your mind
Is there peace?
Inside of your heart
Is there love?
Does it feel like a ocean wave
Is flowing through you…
Or a flame of hope rising like a phoenix
Can you hear the distant drums
And dream of hope in the yonder
Or the bells of divine chime within?
Where and how are you
Inside?

On Letting Go
Letting go is never easy
For we are often not ready
Letting go is a courage as much as a necessity
Letting go that which you can’t change
Letting go of yourself beyond the fear
Letting go of insecurity that is holding you back
Letting go of things that no longer serve you
Letting go to create space for something new
Letting go of unnecessary doubts that delay the possibilities
Letting go creates a difference with a lightness of being…
Learn to let your self go
And watch life transform in and around you…
All it takes is letting go
Think of letting go of the spurious
Like a breath taken
How long will you hold it?
Inhale and exhale are part of life
As you inhale, live life
In knowing the exhale
Is but a circle of life.

Part of something bigger
Every time you connect
With nature in any form
You realize…
You are part of something bigger
That there is so much more
Of spaces between the steps
You acknowledge…
The light of life and living
The strength of the interconnects.
You become aware
In feeling & sensing the mystical in you…
And the potential of you in the universe
How much you matter…
You are part of something bigger!

On Self Worth
Do you sense love for yourself
Do you feel respect for yourself
Do you feel your sense of self esteem
Do you feel a sense of self worth
What is your self worth tied to?
Is it your education
Your fancy degrees
Your knowledge
Your partner?
Or your beauty?
Your abilities?
Is it to your achievements?
Your skills?
Your bank balance?
Or is it to your designation
Your children
Your home?
Your cars?
Your phone?
If you have answered yes honestly to any of the above please think again
Work on your independence
Free your mind free your heart
Free yourself from chains
Practice unshackling
Try to detach your self worth
From material things.
Others cannot always be around
We are born as unique beings
We are complete in every way
No one can latch on to us
Nor should we latch on to another
Self awareness is crucial
For true self confidence
Self Confidence creates self esteem
Self esteem develops self worth
Value the life you have
Understand your truth
Explore your potential
You are worthy.

Sensing Serendipity
And just like that, come s along a moment with heartfelt words, that makes you grateful for the life lived.
Every moment is full of possibilities
Every thing you choose to do
Leaves impressions in the sands of time.
Stay true to being you…
Life turns memorable.
Have taught many people to dance in my life.And yet…
I remember this student well, as well as all the workshops I conducted. It was a decade or more ago when I taught some Corporate Jive Workshops to a creative set of Designers. We stayed connected over the years on FB and LinkedIn.
We wished each other occasionally on birthdays and celebrations. That’s all … Unril I happened to really notice the love this student had for bikes and I sent a simple message of best wishes and safe travels…
And voila I get this message today that for sure makes my day!
A lesson here…
Stay connected .
Be interested & reach out and express appreciation for things others do..
Celebrate life .. Trust life to deliver the very best! It often does!
Let go expectations!
Great things happen quite unexpectedly!
And most of all, never underestimate the power of dance and music …. ✨✨

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
