On Peace
Peace is not won in battles
Peace reigns in the heart of man
Lets make way for inner light to step out.
Let peace and goodwill guide the way!

A Prayer
I bet everyone will love to read this…..
Every day early morning a little girl would come to the temple and stand before the idol, close her eyes and with folded hands, murmur something for a couple of minutes, then open her eyes, bow down, smile and go out running.This was a daily affair.
The temple Poojari was observing her and was curious about what she was doing.
He realised that she was too small to know the deeper meaning of religion & that she would hardly know any prayers. But then what was she doing every morning in the temple?
A few days passed and Poojari now couldn’t resist but to find out more about her behaviour.
One morning, the Poojari reached there before the girl and was waiting for her to complete her ritual.
He placed his hand on her head and said, “My child, I have been seeing you since the last few days. You come here regularly. What do you do?”
“I pray,” She said spontaneously.
“Do you know any prayers?”asked the Poojari with some suspicion in his voice.
“…No” Replied the girl.
“Then what are you doing closing your eyes every day?” he smiled.
Very innocently the girl said :“I do not know any prayer, but I know “a,b,c,d….up to z.”I ‘recite it five times’ and tell God that,”I don’t know your prayer, but it cannot be outside of these alphabets.” Please arrange the alphabets as you wish and that is my prayer.”
And she ran, jumping on her way out.
The Poojari stood there dumbstruck,staring at her for a long time as she disappeared running in the wilderness.
This is THE UNCONDITIONAL belief in God that we pray.
IN THIS NOW
There is always a reason
We know not yet
Trust life to deliver
Know life is a puzzle
Every piece fits perfectly eventually
Keep your faith alive
And celebrate the life you have
In this now

Your Calling
Speaking of my passions…
As for me beyond traveling, learning, writing, reading & writing & sharing a few musings every day, it certainly is a mix of different things…
From creating Art to Painting, Training Consultancy, Ballroom Dancing ,Volleyball, Poetry, as much as conversations with people. Infact I am passionate about whatever work I am doing in the moment. I have enjoyed giving it my full attention with all of me.
Everything connects
Every day is full of new learnings in whatever one does. And have often sensed the strength of the interconnects in these passionate pursuits.
Have had many personal experiences where I have sensed how in the he heart of the arts is all science and the core of science is all art.
Whenever I have dedicatedly pursued any work or hobby with passionate perseverance I have found that I have all the patience at my disposal to nurture what I do… Life is far more interesting and even bearable as you are driven by your calling or purpose. Am sure you can relate to this somewhere in your life.
Would you care to add a few of your passions?

On Spontaneity
Paradox of Perfection
Words are all I
Have to share
Writing is a flow
Of it’s own doing
If I have to wait
To think it over & over
Perhaps I could lose
The spontaneity of it all!
Sometimes in the jotting
The journey of thoughts
Begins to ebb & flow
And it’s best to allow
The spillage of thoughts
Sometimes structured
At times haphazardly
Words manifests itself
The Writing journey
Is a paradoxical one
Of ups and downs
Of chaos and confusion
Of sorting through thoughts
Meandering through the maze
A lot like living life
For ultimately in time
The puzzle fits
And all gets figured out.

Sunkissed Earth
Sunkissed earth
Rays of light
Beaming through
Leaves aflame
Passionately pink
Flowers strewn
Woody trails
Evergreen trees
Scented forests
Serene spaces
Tranquility untold
Sight to behold
Heart at peace
Mind at ease
Beautiful places.
Sun kissed earth.

Feels just right!
Life is like a never ending puzzle
And it seems all caught in a maze
Just as much as…
There comes a time when
Life finds itself
And feels just right!

Irony of Balance
On Balance & Imbalances
Balance..
Enables evenness
In distribution
Ensures equality in varied elements
Or even propelling proportionality.
Empowers a sense of steadiness.
Without lose of control
Balance is grace in movement
Balance is grace in stillness too
Balance is also about being in equipoise
In envisioning or even in the sensing
A state of equanimity in the being.
Where all is well.
Yet the irony of balance
Is the equilibrium is subjective
To the opposition to balance
In a state of unrest and uncertainties
Doubts and fear creep in unexpected
Creating imbalances in its own path
Little knowing the state of balance
Are the very reason for wellbeing.

Soulful Words
Your positive affirmations & intentions
Towards the way you want to be
Your sincere promises and prayers
Says it all, for they are the pathways
Towards creating the life moments
Worth living for!
Becoming trust rocks of resilience
In the stormy phases of life and living.
Where life can seem unbearable.
Bridging through in hope & faith in fortitude.
Such is the strength of the soulful words
That you tell yourself.
Every narrative matters!
Savvy
Self Acceptance
In a world battling for itself
It is time to let oneself be as is
Accepting and acknowledging
The vulnerability of life
As foibles of life and living
It is not a time to be over demanding
Striving for over perfection
To the tipping point .
For the challenges of this now
Far outweigh the craze for perfection
Time to be less hard on yourself
And others around you
And be more grateful 🙏
Gratitude changes perspectives.
Making life a little more bearable
And a lot less complicated.

Words of wisdom
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding.
The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it.
And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he cannot conduct you thither.
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man. And even as each one of you stands alone in God’s knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth.
Kahlil Gibran…
One of my favorite writers with profound words of wisdom.
I had been introduced to his books as a teenager but have revisited his works especially ‘ The Prophet ‘ many times just to soak in the learnings.
Learning is best done in willingness & curiosity to explore the beyond.
Teaching is best done in understanding the learnings and the learner.
Learning never stops it is like a river that flows…
The teacher creates curiosity for learning takes you to the river banks of knowledge and then allows you to quench your thirst, assimilate the learning to expand your horizons of learning.

Giving meaning to life
Life and living…
Every life has a purpose all its own.
Life is what you make of it.
Make it memorable
Make it meaningful
Live to sense the magic of life.

Are you here?
Energy is where attention is!
The ability to dedicate time &, attention in any given task , or relationship can be the denoter of its success.
Make sure to be truly where you are!

Two women
Sharing a lovely piece of poetry
Two women, two different roles
The one who gave birth to me
And the one I gave birth to.
One gave all the love she had
The other got all the love I had
One strived in the life chosen for her
The other – for the life she chose
One made sure I didn’t have tears
The other ensured I face my fears
One hears my voice to know if am well
The other can read my face and tell
One had her eyes moist as she saw me go
The other made my eyes moist as I let her go
My past and my future when shall meet
Will be a picture ever so complete
Two women, two different roles
If only I could be a little like them,
The one who gave birth to me,
And the one I gave birth to.
Two women, two different roles.
Can simply say
Love is the bridge…
Betwixt & Between
Live life lovingly!❤
