Preciousness Of  Now

What’s different about you, after the storm ?
Are you hardened and toughened by it ?
Or are you more humane, compassionate and gentler as  a human after the storm ?


It all depends on you
And how you choose to perceive it.

Perhaps the storm teaches you to steel the self

And create a self preservation shield from such experiences.

On the other hand it could make you more alive to life and the preciousness of now.

As you choose to live and love the life you have left than simply exist in the moments. ✨️

#Life Life Lovingly ❤️

This post actually was inspired by a comment from  my dear friend on WordPress over the years and most of all, a truly empowered and brilliant author Maggie Watson.

Her  comment made me  stop and think of how much  even a mention of the word,’ Storm’ can conjure up. And how much those who have survived it may be feeling … each of these bravehearts may have a different tale to tell.

Yet the truth is their heart beats to the preciousness of this now.

The Path of Clarity

Cultivate patience in the  waiting

A rippling water cannot reflect

So it is with your thoughts…

Trust that

Sometimes when you are lost

Know time is working its ways

Between these moments

Too sensitive to a fault

Or too numb to be hurt.

When life is a like a storm

And you feel lost in a maze

You still find your way out

To the now, as you read this,

Trust time to deliver ways

Trust that…

When friends are blessings…

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 everv 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?

Only yesterday  I witnessed a friendship that stood the test of time and renewed itself in faith & trust.

I thought to myself how important  it is to acknowledge the preciousness of true friends as much as to become a true friend that one can count on.

Making sense of it all… 

Experience eats degrees for breakfast.

Technology tosses experience and degrees topsy turvy.

Al turns skills redundant and age immaterial.


Wisdom turns knowledge into learning.

For learning never stops.

Humility allows for growth…

Making sense of it all.

Who are we?

All is not light

All is not dark

Between both

The day & night

Are shades & tones

Existing in every now

Nothing is definite

Where there is infinite

In ways & deeds

Then who are we

To judge one another

And frame them

As only black or white.

If we only could understand

The story of every shade

And every tint & tone of light.

We would think twice

Before the final verdict.

So much to discover

So much to understand

So much to know more

On who we are.

Riding on faith

My first time

Riding a cycle

As a little kid

I remember

Quite vividly

Father’s hand

Holding the cycle seat

At the back

Teaching me to pedal

As I  balance

In complete faith

In the hand

Holding me safe

Wheels spin

On the dirt road

I sense the wind

In my face

As we gain ground

The cycle, me & dad.

I smile happily

And I turn to glance

At my father

But I see him afar

Beaming with pride

Signaling a thumbs up

And then it hits…

I am cycling

On my own now.

In faith & self belief

Confidence springs 

As I pedal on in faith.

Life is like a cycle

Keep pedaling 

And remember 

Roads may seem rough 

As terrain turns tough

But there is always

Guidance in need

And signs…

That assures

You are enough

For you.

Ride on, in faith.

On Leadership

Simple is the way

To excellence in leadership

To lead without jargon

And cliched buzzwords

To lead is to practice consistency

In actions that evokes trust

To lead is not about being perfect 

But being human & accountable

To lead is to own the misses

And strive to turn it around

And better the self every day

To lead is to value commitment

And raise the bar of excellence

Growing personally  & professionally.

Values Of Being

Trust is what holds us together

Faith leads our way

Belief begets action

Hope brings limitless optimism

Care creates consideration

Truth brings credence.

Love bonds boundlessly

Each creates the values of being.
