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.
Every day I write It’s been so for more than six years now I don’t plan on what to write I just put the words as they come But somehow from somewhere From deep within they flow Through me… And then one look at what I wrote I get the title immediately Many times the title comes first And I begin to write
And then I just happen to share with you all my readers Some of you engage with me all most daily
And I am so full of Gratitude for your presence here.
Thankful for your likes and comments You readers really make my day Especially when you leave a kind & thoughtful word. It’s truly special to see an old reader drop by chance and connect again It’s a wonderful feeling… When at the fag end of the day I sit to read your thoughts It makes me motivated to want to write some more.
Words are all I have To share with you I hope to share the best of them & I hope to read and learn from yours… And hope to stay connected With you in times to come For I believe to share is to learn some more…
At the 49th World Dance Congress UNESCO Mumbai. 2018. My lecture presentation on The Relevance of Dance Education in Communities to a distinguished world audience from the field of Dance and Dance Research.
I spoke about how learning to dance brought out massive changes in marginalised communities, senior citizens and also recited in a poem format, my learnings while teaching dance to Visually impaired school children.
There is so much power to movement to encourage, to give hope, and empower a life to sense the possibilities in their potential beyond situations and circumstances.
This image came up as a great reminder of that beautiful day five years ago.
At the heart of it all is the love I have to share the joy of dance movements. I have had some amazing experiences along the way over the last two decades of being a dance educator. I have enjoyed every bit of it. The learnings and the sharings.
Suffice to say that after all these years though I have moved to doing many more things along with my writings, the simple joy of dance will always keep me happy at heart.
Once there came to the court of the Prince of Birkasha a dancer and her musicians. And she was admitted to the court. And she danced to the music of the flute, the lute, and the zither. She danced the dance of flames and fire, and the dance of swords and spears; she danced the dance of stars and the dance of space, and then she danced the dance of flowers in the wind.
When she had finished, she approached the prince and bowed her body before him. The price bade her to come nearer, and said unto her, “Beautiful woman, daughter of grace and delight, whence comes your art? And how is it that you command all the elements in your rhythms and your rhymes?”
And the dancer came near and bowed her body again and said, “Gracious majesty, I know not the answer to your questionings. Only this I know: The philosopher soul dwells within his head, the poets soul dwells within his heart, the singers soul dwells about his throat, but the soul of the dancer abides in all her body.
You can’t talk Spirituality You got to live it. Often when life takes you far Far away from it…
You got to know The divine that you seek Is with you in every moment Your actions thoughts and words Decides the distance between You and your spiritual self.
A house on a tree? Sure that would be an experience But the way of life Is if you are living on a tree Make sure that within you You plant the tree of Gratitude For life is a circle Circle in with a grateful heart.
A thought in kindness A word of kindness A deed in kindness Count up much more Than you realise Imagine the wealth of joy You will have created In a lifetime.
