Practice anything
Consistently
As a way of life
And it will become art.
An art that is tangible…
To sense like an artist
In the throes of creation.
For as you practice
In your passionate perseverance
Your soul is enriched
And your spirit shines
In its own truth.
“Art is for the heart from the heart with all your heart ….

Every day you have countless thoughts
Our thoughts carry energy
Some positive ones making you hopeful
Some negative leaving you stressed
Upset and drained.
But to truly make each day beautiful
Whenever there are too many negative
Thoughts that arise…
Become mindful
In awareness train yourself
To think it over
Focus the many good
Let go of the bad.
Flipping it over makes all the difference
The question is
Will u try and flip the script?
Savvy
A person never is bored when he or she is creating something,expressing oneself. Through art forms, painting, singing, writing,and whatever that connects deeply to oneself.
And thats the beautiful part, where one art inspires another as much as the self to explore more.

Strength of Silence
Silence is Strength in its subtlety
Fragile and yet full of potential
Expanding consciousness in awareness
Tremendous growth occurs in Silence
Explore the Silence of the soul and spirit.
Silence is powerful beyond compare
Start your journey to understand the self
In the sounds of silence
Wisdom speaks
Silence listens without a word.

Wherever we may be
In this world, we are busy
We are too busy watching this now
For what might happen or go wrong
In doubt and fear of uncertainty
We perhaps, need a moment
Thàt we can can acknowledge
In awareness of where we are now
We might then, take note of all things.
Things that we can be happy about
Things that are not too bad after all
Things we may actually be joyful about
And then perhaps we can feel better
From wherever we are
However we are, as we are.
There is much, that we can be
Truly grateful for in this life.
Savvy
In every moment of time
When you consistently attract & share
The good energies from wherever
You send out feelings of goodwill
You share the grace of hope for the better.
You begin to evolve from where you are
And help make the world a little better one way or the other.
All is a matter of attitude.
Your choice, your way.

A Chinese business man was thinking whom to hand over his business out of his 3 sons. He thought of a way to find their talent.
He told his sons he, who sells more combs to the buddhist monastery will be the one who will head his business.
Initially the sons were perplexed how to sell combs to the monks who do not grow hair.
After the specific time given to them, father called his sons to know about their achievements.
First one told I sold 2 combs.
How asked the father.
I told them the comb can be used to scratch their backs. 2 monks bought it.
Well. What about you , father asked the next one.
I sold 10 combs.
How asked the surprised father.
I told the monastery. that the people visit with dishevelled hair because of the strong winds on the way which is a disrespect to lord Buddha. If they keep a mirror & some combs at the entrance it will help people. They agreed & bought 10 combs.
The merchant praised his son .
Third son said I sold 1000 combs. The merchant was in awe.
I went to the head monk n told since they receive a lot of donations, it would be a nice gesture, if they give something like a blessing to the donors.
What can we give asked the head monk.
I showed him the combs with Buddha’s sayings inscribed on it & said since they use comb everyday it will be a reminder of teachings every time they use. . He agreed & ordered for 1000 combs with Buddha’s teachings inscribed.
No need to guess who took over the business from father.
All will think it is impossible to sell combs to the monks.
In life also we may face certain impossible situations . If we become disheartened then it means we have accepted defeat.
The 3 sons showed us 3 different ways of thinking.
First one thought what other way the comb can be used n sold 2.
Second one thought who other than the monks can use the comb n thought of the visitors . He was able to sell 10.
But it was a one time sale n no further sale in these lines will work out.
The third son also thought on same lines like the second, but with a difference. He modified the product as a gift wiith Buddha’s blessings to the donors. With the increase of donors , his sale will also increase.
So never accept defeat or think that coming out of difficult situations is impossible, start thinking differently. Expand ur vision from different angles.
Think to bring some small changes which will bring great results.
No one to buy tomatoes, dumped in garbage.
No price for cabbage. Used as manure in fields
Bananas , radish thrown on the streets .
We read many such news.
The knowledge we have in farming, we don’t have in business. Pickles, chips, jam dried vegetables, so many other ways to make them profitable. Instead of throwing or wasting, think what else use it can be put into. Learn to approach the correct persons. , through co operative farming or combined business.
Learn to change impossible situations to positive opportunities.
With patience , faith, hardwork n vigour if u start working , the impossible situation will become the foundation for a future big success.
Never bow down to initial negativities or accept defeat.
Expand your vision & focus.
Live with hope & positivity.
(Translated from a Tamil forward by my mother Anjana.)
As an employer, recruiting the right people for the job is extremely crucial for a successful recruitment.
While hiring
Your degrees may not matter that much
As much as…
Your integrity, sense of ownership and dedication at work.
Yes, the employers are seeking all of you, beyond the certifications
Your drive, your ability & your commitment
Is visible in all that you say & do.
For it truly does not matter where you come from or what you know,
What matters is what you do with what you know.
Build the self to be aware, empathic and emotionally intelligent beyond your degrees and specialization.
For even if degrees get you the job
It is your ability & adaptability that keeps you there.

In the din of moment
Is the quiet reflection
Of thoughts in musing
Like a whisper in all its subtlety
Like a soft caress of a breeze
Like a feeling wafting through.
The soul knows…
Unnoticed, unobserved often
Yet felt by one and all in consensus
At one point or the other
That is sensed in the being.
For its the heart that senses…
Whispers that speaks to the soul,
Wherever you are, you know…
Wisdom speaks, to the willing listener.
Savvy
I wonder…
Where is the beginning
Of illusion in this illusory world?
In the many facets of life and living
Blending hues and tones
In Connection beyond compare
And yet unsure when asked
Where is the blend & breakpoint
In this ephemeral existence?
We are vulnerable beings
In this so called reality
Trying to understand
This illusory life
To the best of our abilities
To be all we can be!
Yet sublime is the point of saturation
Like the subtlety of twilight zones
We are left wondering the why, when,what, who & how…
Of the ascent of light and the descents
Like how the morning breaks in.
Showering upon us the light of a new dawn.
Dawn to dusk,dusk to dawn
Creating the Circles of being
Life happens and we goes on…
Keeping the wonder alive!
Savvy
There is something beautiful
In every dawn🙏
Every dawn is full of possibilities
Brimming with hope.
And flowing with potential .
Imagine making the life of someone
A little better because of your action
Imagine…
Waking up everyday to a new dawn…
What can be more fulfilling
Than to know that you have utilized
Your life a little better yesterday.
So go ahead and try
Making a positive difference each day
To a life in some way or the other.
So before you go to sleep at night
Know a new dawn awaits you
To make a move, take a step,
To change attitude,shift perspectives
And leave a message of kindness
To motivate another …
And make it better.
By being a better version of oneself.
Savvy
