There are few gifts
Of life in the living
Like the joy of laughter
Like the happiness of smiles
Like the sharing of loving kindness
Like the sensing of gratitude
They add to your life
They heal your being
Body mind and Soul.
The more you have it
And live expressing it
The better the health of your heart.
A good thought
A good deed
A good laugh
And all is well
In the lightness of being.
Sensing my share of these gifts.
Are you?

Creativity: A matter of approach.
What makes a job well done ?
What makes excellence a standard?
What makes one stand out a cut above the rest ?
What is aesthetics after all?
What differentiates the good better and the best?
All is a matter of approach in every field of life. A shift in the perspectives brings home the amazing solutions. An approach that is creatively expansive than confounding, opens a box of possibilities .
We are all equipped to reach out into our own creative potential by just empowering ourselves with techniques of approaching a situation at hand.
Every one of us is endowed with the potential to develop our artistic abilities and approach with a creative eye.
It’s a matter of putting the principles into practise and taking that giant leap of faith.
What is your attitude & approach to life today?
What are you going to create for yourself in this now?

Our words breathe the truth of our souls
The way we feel deep within
Somehow find a way to breathe in and out
To find their own sense of balance
The words we speak, the words we think and the words we write. We have a mind, body, spirit connect with our words.
In fact our words can be both…
The energy of our emotions
Raining relentlessly
And also the signature of our souls!

Life is meant to flow
In every now
As life happens
Let your heart seek joy
Let your spirit soar
You are a spark of heaven
You are light of the stars
Shine your unique brillance
Beam from where you are
Live fully as best as you can
Bloom some more
Be full on!
Savvy
Surrender to the divine
Surrender yourself
You will find bliss
For you will sense
The magic of the life
Sense the life in the flow.
With abandon & faith.
You will sense the truth of being…

Often in the daily grind of life
We begin to take things for granted
Everyone we have with us
Every gift we are given in time
Every solution that solved issues
Every answer that came our way
The light of this day
The bliss of a restful sleep
A smile from a stranger
That made your day
A helping hand when in need
Nurturing home made food
Unconditional love from a furchild
And so much more..
Life gives you much
It’s in us to acknowledge
And recognise the good in our way
And appreciate this now
For all that which you already have!

Living life truths
As the threads of time ties us
In a tapestry of weaves
We make our choices
We chance upon our paths
Lighting it up, in our own unique ways…
Painting our dawns with hope
And the dusks with dreams
Brushing light of the rays & beams…
Cherishing our moments in this now
Colouring our dreams with intentions that matter
Living loving
Giving receiving
We shape our lives…
Acknowledging our thoughts
Accepting our errors of judgements
We all evolve in the tapestry of time
Embracing ourselves in self respect
Embodying our faith in trust
Unfurling our passions in time
Unveiling our purpose on earth
Until we find our truths of being.

The day you realize
Your potential
You begin to explore possibilities
And you even make
The impossible possible
Care to ask yourself…
Are you safeguarding your boundaries
Or being too accepting
That you tolerate more than you truly should.
What are you hoping for?
Is it approval and validation
Are you waiting for another
To love you?
Perhaps you need to celebrate
Who you are!
Remember you are truly enough for you!

Thinking well
I am better than yesterday…
Because the Universe
Trusts me to make a choice
In free will I take my decisions
I am responsible for my life
I am choosing to be all I want to be
To trust and flow
In this now
I am making time for me
To be self aware and familiar with my truths
I am letting go of the unnecessary thoughts
I am thinking better in this now
My self belief is that my day is going well
And I am having magical day and am deeply grateful.
And I continue to love life & am making the moments matter.
I am better than yesterday!

Some times life comes to a still.
That may be be Him testing will.
When we are low,
When we feel let down,
When we feel desperate,
when we feel alone, when we feel all doors are closed,
When life seems to have no meaning,
Never loose hope.
The master plan of Nature,
Is beyond our cognition.
The way will open up,
In any form, any time.
All we need is hope n faith.
Patience n perceverance.
The effort will pay off.
For He knows the right time and the right way.
Cos that’s
His Master plan.
Sharing this message of hope penned by my mother Anjana as a testement of faith and trust in the divinity providence.
Meditation is simply
A dedication of time
For your own self care.
It’s a way to tune inwards
In witness mode.
In the stillness as the mind quietens
Begins the path of your own
In self – expansion beyond self- limitations
Meditation is a choice you make
Unfolding the limitless potential you hold within.

Secret of success
A ten year old Japanese boy dreamt of becoming a judo champion. But he didn’t have his left hand. Judo is hard to learn even for a fittest person. What will this disabled boy do.
He went to many masters in vain. Atlast one master agreed. The training started. He taught him a single attack for days together. Months went by. The teacher didn’t teach him anything else. He was disheartened.
Master how this one attack is enough. Pl. Teach me more.
Master replied, you become expert in this one attack, that is enough.
He can’t disobey his master. The training continued.
The championship tournament started.
First round. A fully trained opponent n this boy who has learnt just one attack. The boy won to everyone’s surprise.
Second, third, he won till the semi finals. He won that too.
The finals. The opponent has won many championships. He felt pity n rediculance on seeing his one handed opponent. First round started. The boy couldn’t stand the champion’s attack. He fell down. All took pity on him and wanted to stop the competition.
The master said, no, he will fight the second round.
The champion became overconfident. He removed his helmet and started to fight with a little laid back attitude . The boy attacked the only way he knew with full force. The champion fell down. The boy won the championship. None, even the boy couldn’t believe what happened.
Later, the boy bowed his master and asked him how he won knowing one single attack.
Master smiled and said, two reasons for your success. One , you have mastered one of judo’s most powerfull attack. Second, there is only one way to defend this attack for the opponent. He has to catch your left hand, which in your case he can’t.. Your weakness became your strength and made you a champion.
The boy stood in wonder and bowed in reverence.
If we all know how to turn our weakness as our strength and learn to face life with its challanges success is not far. Life has given every individual a uniqueness. Use it wisely.
A translation of a Tamil forward by my mother Anjana
Life as a couple
Has its own challenges
Yet what matters is trust
In a loving relationship.
Trust that makes you feel safe
That makes you sense security
And value for being you.
To be heard, & loved as you are.
Often expectations from one partner
To toe the line and accept everything
Brings in uncomfortable silences
Or unwanted arguments and conflicts
Breaking a relationship gradually.
Perhaps it is about negligence
Or lack of consideration & care
Perhaps it’s about lack of empathy
Or even inequality that creates a gap
That widens in time and cracks
The strongest of partners.
Compromise or need
May keep them staying together
Just existing not living a life.
The show goes on…
Until it one day becomes unbearable.
And the inevitable truth tumbles.
These words above are deeply interlinked in the flow of thoughts that arose after I read a translation by my mother from a Tamil quote forwarded on Social media.
Interesting to note it is from a divorced husband after 10 years of realization.
‘Don’t show your pride before your wife.
She came to you just believing in you
Not your relatives.
My property
My earnings
My will
Then who is she?
What is the meaning of her life with you?
Can’t she have her dreams, her desires, to be fulfilled with you?
On reading this message
Something more rankled my mind
The question of expectations
To be fulfilled by the partner.
It’s never about needs
Being fulfilled by the other
But with one another.
In todays world
It’s about finding time
To be present in the now
With one another.
How many agree?
