Love Love
Let love live
Not just in your smile
In your heart
In your eyes
In your bones
Allow it to reside
In every cell of your being
Make it your life long friend
And see the magic unfold

Travel On…
I wrote this poem back in time after an unexpected opportunity to travel set me off across exploring unforgettable places and spaces on my own.
Yesterday as I was conversing with one of my earlier dance student and friend now, he somehow reminded me of this poem again , as he has been traveling the length and breadth of India on a bike, covering over 80% of India.
While I wait to see his photo shares and hear more from him about his experience in the journey.
Thought of sharing my verses again.
Travel On
If you are given an opportunity to take a journey
Take it, for you meet many versions of you.
Along the road.
Some you cherish, some cherish you.
Some that change you and some that you change.
Fear not the travel or the traveling…
For one thing is certain
You come away enriched and wiser in every journey.
Travel to liberate yourself
From self assumed notions
To see the light on the other side
There is much to unlearn and unbox
As you travel yield in to the insights
Travel every once in a while if opportunity arises,
Take the chance,
You are richer in your explorations much as your experiences.
Travel on …

Thank the good
In the depths of darkness
Keep the faith on a new dawn
In the numerous wrongs
See the rights
Thank the good
Be grateful for it
Make it a practice of a life time
Know you’re in a better space.

And life goes on
What was freshness of springtime
Matures with the changing seasons
At times hot dry or humid summers makes life unbearable
Soon the downpour of rains flood the parched land with greens
Another autumn as orange rust leaves renew themselves
Winter chills brings it’s own white snow at will
Trees bereft of leaves lay bare their dark branches
Awaiting for another change of season.
And life goes on…

The Zen Way
Calm eyes and ears
Resting and recovering
From relentless chaos
Blowing in the wind.
Seeing only a trickle
Of light and sounds
Of nature in harmony
To energize in hope
Once more.

Colour me Orange
What feelings do you associate with the colour orange?
For me it’s an auspicious color of Optimism and enthusiasm.
Warm and welcoming
Energizing & radiant
Like a new dawn.
From the yellow orange
To the reddish orange
The tints and shades
Make a world of difference.
Thinking of an orange sun
Rising and setting
Marking day and night
But always hopegiving.

Way of Love
It’s the way of love, to accept and allow
It’s the way of love, to empower with hope
It’s the way of love, to sense the light of life.
It’s the way of love, to share from the heart.
For love is the gift of life.
And it’s the way of love, to be filled with gratitude.

On Mentoring
Trustful Mentorship
The dynamics of mentor mentee relationship is one of trust and confidence.
Building trustful mentorship requires genuine love to help guide people for the better.
Besides the required skills and expertise, mentors having an inclusive, expansive and holistic approach while helping unique pathways for clients, adds to their repertoire to create trustful mentorship .
Clarity and integrity in communication & behaviour , excellent interpersonal skills and empathic attitude add value beyond the experience and expertise of the mentors.
It is important to acknowledge the influence a mentor can have on the mentees decisions be it at work or personal life.
Hence, a good understanding of ethics while handling conflicting opinions biases, & emotional triggers helps empower the mentee than exploit them.
After all, a mentor is someone who guides advice and supports along the way…

Acknowledge Accept Know
Acknowledge…
Betwixt and between
The you & I,
The us and the we,
Is a ocean of multiverses.
A tapestry of metaverses Springing into existence
Creating connection
Beyond compare
Ingenious innovation
Reaching beyond the known
Forging ahead dimensions
Unfolding technology
With palpable sensations
Creating new possibilities
Exploring potential
Understanding elements
Of space, time and distance
Challenging norms
Quantifying needs & wants
Finding solutions
In a changing world
Simplifying complexities
In the realms of life & living.
Yet as this booming bubbles
Is it a catalyst of changes?
Some sensational and brilliant
Some scary & confounding.
Simply know it’s on its way
And is here to stay
As our world will redefine
Life beyond existence…
Accept…
There is bound to be a boom
Colloidal chaos & confusion
In chasing an unreal world
And finding hope to live on
In the very illusions in making.
Know…
Every thing life appears now
Is a momentary phenomenon.
Of perceptions that deliver
The solutions for life in the soul.

On coexistence & safe spaces
So we have been keeping a food bowl and water bowl for the hungry and thirsty birds in our terrace garden.
I have seen some occasional birds come in to drink but every day there is a family of squirrels who somehow have made their feeding zone.
So this morning I chanced upon a pigeon carefully perched on the edge of the bowl watching the surrounding environment…
Apprehension & trepidation are the words that comes up when I saw this lone bird feeding for the first time. So much fear and anxiety before dipping her beak into the bowl. So unlike our regular daredevil squirrels dashing into the bowl, this one was mighty cautious and careful and yet so very graceful in her ways…
Watching her I sensed how much she values her freedom. And how much she is relying on her wings to take off at any moment and fly free.
After all in every life, the spirit of freedom aspires to live & fly free in safety, peace & liberation.
Here’s to creating safe spaces for life to coexist, thrive and flourish.

Spirit of Freedom
In the Spirit of Freedom…
May we always dance, the dance of independence and freedom.
May we tune ourselves to connect with joys in tandem.
May we always remember and value great souls lost in martyrdom.
May we continue to prosper and thrive.
May we acknowledge that the strength in the interdependence is never random.
May we always respect our roots and learn to follow our inner wisdom.
Happy Independence Day!
