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.

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.

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…
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.

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.

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!
In the darkest hours
Stay strong in spirit
Sense the light within
Trust the light in you
To keep you hopeful
To see the light of dawn.

Every night sky
Infinite stars twinkle
There is wisdom in their light
‘To shine from wherever you are’
Each star emits their own starlight
Without trying to outshine others
Together they fill up the night sky
With the wonders of a starry night.

Creativity is embedded and enmeshed with emotions.
To create is to connect with the core and the depth of the being.

It’s important to evolve for the better
But even more important to enjoy the now as you are…and love yourself too!
Choose to live life lovingly!

Truly life is how you live it.
Your attitude your thoughts matter.
It truly is starkly different
The way we feel dark and dense in scarcity consciousness
The way we feel lightness of being in sensing abundance.
From ashes, to rising like a phoenix,
The power of hope changes destiny.
Limitless is the power of positive thoughts.
Thoughts of abundance opens up ways to explore more.
In moments of despair, it truly is about flipping the script in our heads to sense possibilities in the limitless potential.
Unending is the power of hope.
After all…
Day unto night
Dark unto light.
Hope is here to stay!

Social media share of a story translation from Tamil.
One day, in a Berlin city park, a little girl was crying because she had lost her doll.
A young man, who looked about 20 years old, noticed her and instead of walking past like others, asked her, “Why are you crying?” He then said, “Come on, let’s look for your doll!” and helped her search for it. As it got dark, he reassured her, “I’ll come back tomorrow. We can search together again.” and sent her home.
The next day, he returned and handed her a letter, supposedly from the doll, which he read out loud. The letter said, “Please don’t cry… I have gone on a trip to see the world. I will come back soon. Until then, I will write to you about my adventures every day.”
From then on, he brought a daily letter from the doll, filled with stories of faraway lands and the doll’s amazing adventures, which made the little girl very happy.
Eventually, the doll wrote, “My journeys are over. I’ll be back tomorrow. My long travels might have changed my appearance a bit, but it’s still me. Please accept me.”
The girl eagerly awaited the doll’s return. The next day, he brought a doll that matched her descriptions. Even though it looked different, the little girl lovingly accepted it.
As she grew up, she realized all the man had told her were comforting lies. But the kindness of a stranger who didn’t ignore a crying little girl but instead took the time to console her had left a profound impact on her. It planted a seed of great love in her, helping her grow into a compassionate person who cared for others.
Years passed, and one day she came across an obituary in the newspaper. That was when she learned that the man who had comforted her was the famous writer Franz Kafka. She rushed to hug the doll and found Kafka’s final letter hidden inside. It read, “Dear girl… Everything we love might be lost and never found again. But believe… Love will find its way back to us in another form.”
Change is inevitable. However, Kafka believed it brings unexpected gifts and new beginnings, which is what happened to the girl. Even if we lose what we love, they often return to us in surprising and meaningful ways. We should learn to embrace life’s changes and disappointments.
