Its the first step
That often feels
The most difficult
But do know
Every other step
Can only follow
This first step
Take the chance
Take the step.

Take the step
Mastering Thoughts
Thinking is a gift of humanity
Beyond the primal instincts
Thoughts can be a complex maze
Self serving or otherwise
It is necessary to align thoughts
So that they don’t turn chaotic.
Channeling thoughts to align
Towards a higher purpose
Bridges the pathway to peace
So can we truly master our thoughts?
Often considered daunting in itself
For we are swayed by a zillion thoughts,
In every moment we are alive.
But if we begin to understand
That mastering is about integrations
It’s a connection of our senses.
In managing our mind moods & actions.
The simple act of choosing
One thought over the other
Is a choice we have with us.
We are our own masters
We are enslaved by own selves.
Our life is created in these choices
We choose to think and make.
Mastering thoughts is the challenge…
That decides how we choose to feel
Yet if we only let ourselves tap
Into our intuitive intelligence
We will find our inner guide
That is always on our side.

Life lessons
Translated from Tamil by my mother.
What is poison?
Teacher
When we have something more than our needs it becomes poison. It can be power, wealth, love, hatred or even hunger.
Fear?
When we do not accept impermanence it becomes fear.when we accept impermanence it becomes adventure.
Jealousy?
When we are not ready to accept the goodness of others it becomes jealousy. When we start accepting it becomes a motivational force.
Anger?
When we cannot bear things happening beyond our control it becomes anger. When we start accepting it becomes tolerance.
Hatred?
Not accepting others as they are turns into hatred. Unconditional acceptance becomes love.
On Freedom & Independence
Today as all Indians celebrate 75 glorious years of Indian Independence…
Let us take an oath to value the ‘Dignity of life’ today and forevermore.
For every life deserves the ‘Dignity of Being’ with a freedom to be respected as they are , a freedom to be able to express, freedom to be valued and feel safe and secure, as every other life.
Happy Independence Day!

Acknowledge…
Musings on the Metaverse & More…
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…
Everything life appears now
Is a momentary phenomenon. Of perceptions that deliver
The solutions for the soul.

On Optimism
Optimism
Musings on Positive Mindsetting and Optimism by my mother Anjana.
Love this piece by her.
Seeing the glass half full or half empty makes a lot of difference to your mind set. Positive thinking is not to ignore the negativities of
matters or situations. It is to see the options to overcome the obstacles in the best possible way. Seeing goodness and being positive reduces unnecessary stress and unwanted heaviness of heart. It lightens the mind, to a cheerful mood and to a healthy you.
Being positive does not erase the difficulties or seriousness of the problem. But when you look at the light out side the dark tunnel, finding ways to cross the darkness becomes easier. The severity of the dark cloud fades away when you have the bright Sun in your vision. A positive mind strengthens your will power to cope up in situations , reduces your stress level resulting in a healthier you, increases life span.
A positive mind can identify and filter the negative thoughts at its seed level and tries to steer away from it. Devoid of imaginary fears you can see problems at its reality with an optimistic mind. Approaching life, facing its realities with a positive attitude makes solutions easier. It gives you better resiliency over adversity, reduces depression, improves your immunity. When your mental strength is increased, it becomes easy to identify and manage challenges, to bring out best positive results.
A positive mind makes you more stronger, , more communicative, more people friendly, more humorous, & healthier. It makes you a better person to be with.
Always be positive, be happy, be healthy. Surround yourself with positive people.

On Success
You create the state of success,
And you never rest on your success.
Success is in the courage to continue,
Your perseverance, your passion and purpose.
Success is consistently inconsiderate.
Success demands much focus
As it supplies momentum
Beyond self-limitations and doubts.
True success is the knowing
In your heart of contentment
Of a life well-lived and loved.
Success is who you are.
Success is in each of us,
Awaiting a discovery —
An unearthing of potential
To sense life’s possibilities.
If you believe your abilities,
trust your instinct,
And give it your best shot;
Success is sure to follow.
Success is an interesting journey and not a destination.
The more you sense the bigger picture…
You lovingly loose yourself in something that is bigger than yourself…
The greater your energy and the closer you are to where you want to be.
Success is within each of us…
Waiting for us to make a move towards it.

Creativity is innate potential.
Deeply entwined in humility
In every realisation of potential infinite
Creation manifests itself time and again.

On Respect
Respect your self
And show respect to others
In thoughts words & deeds
No matter how deserving
In empathy & compassion
It is a reflection of your nature
It speaks much of who you are.
Others will respect you.
When you respect self effort
As well as another’s
You reinforce self discipline
And let it guide manners
When you dont allow yourself
To be disrespected
None can take you for granted
Or behave as if you don’t matter.
Care to own your space in the sun.
Respectfully…
The world will be better by it.
