Often expectations become a burden.
For it gets imposed without realization.
Creating fear for change
Fear chains you in restrictions
Learn to unshackle your being.
You have one life
Think of life like a new book
That is meant to be written by you
Make sure you hold the pen
And do not give it away
Live beyond your fear
For life is what you make of it.

Are you lonely and perhaps feeling lost?
Are you afraid of being lonely?
Loneliness is a silent killer.
Not easy to deal with. It can catch you when you are least aware.And it may seem challenging with the changing season.
Every person alive might have to battle it in different degrees one time or another in their lifetime .
Often it may be, the fear of ending up alone that people make wrong personal choices.
Often those very choices are the reason one feels lonely.
For there are times you can be feeling lonely in a room full of people.
Sometimes you have a life partner but feel there is no true companionship.
Sometimes you are actually alone with nobody around and hence feel lonely.
Circumstances may be different and varied for every one but the condition is one, of being lonely.
There is a thoughtworthy words I read, that comes to mind on loneliness.
Loneliness is the poverty of the self
Solitude is the richness of the self.
Now that changes the perspective doesn’t it .
What you envision your life, life becomes, such is the power of visualization and intention.
No matter where you are or who you are with,
Remember, you are never truly lonely if you flip the script…
Think you have you
Value the life you have
You are alive as yet
And you are enough for you.

My 80 plus father and I were having a nice conversation this morning. I asked him, what is the difference between your generation and today?
What did you all have then that today that we don’t have today?
He said it in one line: Freedom of time. It’s so true.
Today’s world is fully connected but caught in the web of it’s own doing.
Today everything is caught on camera.
No one is truly free.
Whether at work or after,.. your work follows you .You are always available and connected even when you travel…
Life is actually more complicated with all these so called devices of technology.
Even simple joys of life are difficult to experience for lack of time.
No one is truly free.
Chained to the machines of their own making…
In the name of Work from home and work life balance, we are getting more work home that there is no downtime. Weekends no longer feel different. All are in a rat race in time. Until we mutually agree and consciously think of taking time out and act on it , life seems to fall into a rut of routine that we forget we are meant to live and not just exist .

The way we see the world
Changes our experiences.
Lesser expectations
Greater contentment
Lesser assumptions & doubt
Greater trustfulness
Lesser hopelessness
Greater possibility
Lesser the complexity
Greater the clarity.
How do you see the world?

Fame is the shadow of passion standing in light
Kahlil Gibran
When a good deed
A noble act
Invokes fame
Fame stays on…
Entrenched in light of goodwill.
Embedded in that light
Passion perseveres.
Such a fame is worth experiencing…
And yet there is always a price to fame
While fame brings glory
It also brings expectations along
To live up to … for a lifetime.
There is loss of privacy
As you sway into the limelight
Being in the public eye can be daunting
There can be a loss of personal freedom.
Even though it creates opportunities
For it presents platforms
As it changes equations.
As it builds reputation.
Thoughts go on the desire for fame.
Even tbough there is a price to fame
Or would one choose the world of obscurity?
What are your thoughts on fame?
Do share.

A throwback…
I have fond memories of black and white photographs taken by my dad in his old box camera. The three pictures that I can quickly recollect are a representation of my world back in the era of black and white. Be it watching the swaying coconut trees and the shimmering water on moonlit nights, or the artistry of those antique time pieces collected by my grandfather and of course those lively evenings in my childhood years, where the old gramophone would play so invitingly that we would all be waltzing and jiving away to evergreen hits. Yes nostalgia filled me in those verses, but with happy memories.
Black and white photography
An art form for a connoisseur
Aesthetics of understanding
Of the clarity of line
That plays hide and seek
So much resemblance
To the wisdom of time.
In seeking is the blending
Of reflections dissolving
Ever so hard to pin down
Faded visions blurred memories
Reminding of colour through our senses
Perspectives differ in the past recalled
Comparisons translucent in the semi presence.
An important feature
Are the shades of grey
Areas masked and marked,
Blurring to focus
Uncaliberated and undeliberated
Between the lines
Adding enigma
Surreal feelings
A take back in time
Of notions in nostalgia.

In the journey of life
At one point or the other
In arriving to acknowledge our truths
Comes a realization of our Oneness
Of how we are mere living fractals of life and longings.
We are simply waves of light frequencies of resonance & dissonance.
Dancing to the tunes of the Cosmic Oneness
Love begets love
Great is the energy of love
And coupled with kindness and compassion,
Love heals hearts like nothing else❤️
In a conflict ridden world
All we can do, is to learn
What not to do…
For we are not the only ones here
There was life before us & after us
There is life in and around us
And we need to value life
That will manifest after us
And acknowledge what is
And do whatever we can
To save the only world we have.
Savvy
The world around us
Is interacting all the time
The way we choose
Becomes us.
And each of our choices
Through our intentions
Becomes deeds of our doing.
It’s all in us
In the thinking and intending
For the good of all
Beyond the self.
Savvy
AI is very much here
And is entrenched itself
In every part of our life
Yet the question remains
More in the times of now
Are we the master or the slave?
What do you think?
Savvy
What to speak of charisma
That some have as an aura…
A way of being , a radiance
More than just their attitude
Or the way the carry themselves
A quality of the spirit of the soul
That magnetic quality beyond the physicality
That emanates joy and well being in Abundance
Without a single word…
Would you know someone like that?
Who comes to your mind?
Savvy
What to speak of wisdom?
Tommorows wisdom
Is open to learn
From the errors in this now.
In the listening, in the living
In the feeling in the sensing.
So much to understand…
Question remains are we open
to acknowledge the misses,
as a part of being human ?
Are we ready to receive
from these experiences…
Seeking wisdom in the lessons.
