The Antwerpen Christmas Market is spread out over several streets and squares lighting up the entire historical centre of Antwerp beautifully into a huge and happening zone to stroll around in…
Glowing in the night!
Beating the winters chill
Sitting by warm fire pits…
Sipping hot glühwein!
And the mistletoe?
Well its no small branch
But a giant one indeed!
Fit for all the crowd that gather under
Just to share their love for each other….💞

On beliefs
Irony of cognition
As long as our beliefs are taking us through
We are comfortable
But if our beliefs, blur our vision
We are confounded
We become guarded
And want to protect our opinions
Even if they are erring
In fact we are most hostile
When we are aware deep within
How wrong we actually are !
Rather than allowing ourselves to evolve
We step in our own way of growth
Becoming mental contortionists
Twisting and turning
With the assumptions & notions of truth
Until we find an angle that upholds
Our current views.
Our beliefs can be our strength as much as our weaknesses. In allowing ourselves to accept something new or different to what we are used to or expect, we begin to open up our minds and hearts.
Think about your own beliefs, are there moments where you were challenged by your own beliefs,
Were there times when you feel that some of your own beliefs need a thinkover?
Often we assume we are totally in the know and believe it to be so like a frog in the well.
Yet the truth shows up differently from these illusions we live in, and then we realize how far away from the truth we actually are!
There is always more…
Possibilities in the infinity
So much more to learn
So much more to discover
So much more to explore
So much more to know…

Bruges’ is an absolutely fascinating fairytale kind of town,and at night, under the moonlight, it’s magical atmosphere intensifies.
A canal trip in the Reie named after the river Roya totally worth it.

Dancing lights
Shimmering Christmas lights play on water ever so gently creating a moment worth a capture.
Waltz of lights on the water….

Second standard teacher started writing tables on the blackboard.
The whole class started laughing as she started writing because the first line was written wrong.
1×9=7, ❌
2×9=18, ✔
3×9=27, ✔
4×9=36, ✔
5×9=45, ✔
6×9=54 ✔
7×9=63 ✔
8×9=72 ✔
9×9=81 ✔
10×9=90 ✔
The teacher was waiting patiently till their laughter stopped.
I know, I have written the first line wrong. I wanted to teach an important life lesson on how this world will treat you.
I have written 9 lines correct here. None of you noticed that. But you all noticed the one line which was wrong and started laughing at me.
This is how the world will treat you. Even if you do things correctly for a thousand times, none will notice or praise you.
But when you go wrong even for one time they will notice and start criticising to ridicule you.
But you all should never get discouraged. Instead put your full effort to stand tall and firm in front of those who laughed at you, criticised you, or ridiculed you.
Another translation by my mother Anjana from a tamil forward
Wisdom in the challenges
Is in being the balance
Between action and inaction
Between movement and stillness
Between doing and non doing
And in this state of being
Awakening the truth of life& living
Between the more and the less
Between attachments & detachment
Realize the bliss of fulfiment
Realize the ease
In the letting go…

Journey on until you meet yourself
For embedded along the path
Of many echelons of time,
Life leaves imprints on the living.
There will be many experiences
That would make your soul cry
Out in pain and pleasure,
Sensing connections
Beyond this lifetime.
Journey on, nevertheless,
For in meeting the many
Moments that may seem enmeshed with you,
You will be closer to yourself.
In travelling along
Come moments that seem
To speak straight to the heart
Of the truth of your being.
All is familiar, there is déjà vu.
You know the scenario only too well
For you know you have been right here.
All else is immaterial and immaculate.
You won’t need any guide
Then as you partake in the joy
Of this meeting with this being
You know you have found yourself.

To a true artist
The medium is immaterial
Everything is association
The elements converge
Every thing connects
Subtlety emerges distinctly
Dancing to the winds of change
Inner motivation leads the way
To find meaningful expressions
In the myriad manifestations
Even in the seemingly banal existence
Creativity sparks from everywhere.
Such is state of fractal flow
Of Art & Artistry.
But then is there a true or fake artist?
For beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
And possibilities of creativity infinite
Art is a moment of reckoning
Of acknowledgement and appreciation
Evoking critical responses & feedbacks
In support or diversity of emotions
Forming new patterns in the experiences
Invoking the spirit of creation
Once more…

As the year comes to a close only to begin anew… a special thanks to all the people who send inspirations our way by their profound shares.
Recently my friend Christoph retweeted this post on Twitter commenting…
‘As above so below’
And it drew me to contemplate on the profound truths of reflections in rootedness of life and its myriad expressions.
Of the uncanny resemblance of the roots, branches in a tree to the nerves and vertebrae of mamals including man.
Of how our energy is a flow of potential endless patterns in possibilities.
Of reflections of resounding resonance in nature
Of infinite abundance in its manifestations
Of parallel dimensions & more beyond compare
In the spaces between the synapses
There is a plethora of profound truths
Awaiting our awareness
So much to explore and discover!
As above so is below
As outward so is within
Vast beyond belief
In faith and hope
Everything is envisioned..
Savvy
Light a lamp of hope
Be an illuminator of hearts
Be led by the pull of passion
Envisage possibilities in faith
Envision the pathway beyond
In collaboration and connection
Your energy is expansive
Sense the synergies
Allow yourself to explore possibilities
The expansiveness of the spirit within
Light the pathway for others to follow.

Peace is a state of being
More than just a state of mind
Peace needs consistent practice
You have to nurture your heart
Towards a state of peaceful being
The mind wanders in a million ways
The heart flutters at a moment’s notice
Such is the way of life and living
So let your dancing heart & mind
Find their way towards coexistence
Acknowledging each of their diverse states.
Let their potential converge to strengthen
Let the sense of peace be understood well
Until peace becomes of a way of life.
Care to protect your peace.
Savvy
As you move forward
In expansiveness & inclusiveness
In the spirit of collaboration
Than mere competition
Gradually you begin to sense the strength
In the circle of conscious connections.
Savvy
Thanking the past for the precious lessons of life and lets emerge as wiser and brighter and stronger than ever before while embracing the present in conscious awareness !🙏

The Spirit of Christmas is in the little things that matter and make a huge difference ….
In kind words , loving hugs, happiness will restore
In the simple joys of sharing smiles , spreading laughter galore.
The Spirit of Christmas is a sense of belonging, of connections and togetherness.
And in caring ways brightening up the world around us a little bit more…
Merry Christmas!
