There is always a balance required in our life, So that we can deal enthusiastically with strife. We have to do everything in just the right way, So that we won't go stray. Eating- not more, not less, just right. Exercising- not more, not less, just right. Sleeping- not more, not less, just right. Loving & pampering someone- not more, not less, just right. Caring & concerning- not more, not less, just right. Understanding- not more, not less, just right. Studying- not more, n

Sometimes I really wonder why we ignore our bad traits like-jealousy, anger & pride. What is wrong in them? Why do we think that a person having these feelings is bad? They are the innate part of human nature. Let's face them & learn to handle them as they live with a person as long as he lives. No matter how big or small, famous or common that person is. Each & every one of us has to go through them in our life's routine. In some they are on a higher note, while in some mode

I don't know why, I always chose the road most traveled, And made my journey ravelled. Whichever seemed smoother & softer on the surface, Instantaneously I joined it without a delay. Since the day I opened my eyes into this world, It has never been my own honest, well analysed opinion about any person or situation. But it has always been whirled, Affected by others' gestation. If they said he is bad, I consented yes he is. Without even trying to know the reason. If they said

Few days ago my daughter shared a story with me, which was told to them by their school principle. It was quite inspiring. Sharing: Once there was a boy, who was a student of Biology. They were given a task to keep a caterpillar & observe it until it turns into a butterfly. The boy kept a caterpillar at home & used to observe it daily. (There is a phase in caterpillar's life when it locates itself on a particular point & after few days, it goes through many hormonal changes &

Often in our life's routine, We forget to count our blessings. Today, let's consider our graces umpteen, Let's do the caressing. And at last we would find that there is nothing left but gratitude, Yes, it is life's amplitude. Wake up in the morning & say,"Look! I'm alive". Gratitude I am fit & fine. Gratitude I have roof over my head, Gratitude Wow! I still have a bed. Gratitude I go the bathroom & there is water running in the tap, Gratitude I'm brushing my teeth, I have too

So many point of views to be understood, So many stories to be listened. So many dreams in those sparkling eyes, So many journeys. Each being, different journey, Each being, different story. So many struggles, so many juggles, So many ways of handling, So many ways of abandoning. So many depressions, So many confessions. So many victories, So many histories. So many hidden talents, Which used to be explored & balanced. So many characters, And behind them so many factors. So m

This “I” is so powerful, multi talented & a multi tasker that we often underestimate it. It can work as an “I” which refers to each one of us; The identity-as a second person and as a third person too. Here I refer second person as a family member or friend & third person is the outsider or the person we are unaware of. Whenever you feel depressed and all the other means fail to elevate your mood, start acting as a third person to yourself. Analyse your achievements, see your

Just finished the book Ladies Coupe' by Anita Nair. A very interesting & touching tale of a woman, who is struggling for her own space & peace; just to be herself, all by herself. And how the society raise an eye on a spinster who wants to live alone. How, whether the people belong to South India or North India, always think that a woman is vulnerable, needs protection all the time; either of father or husband or brothers or son. How a strong woman resists this thinking by ma

No more attitude, Nothing but gratitude. No more criticization, Nothing but appreciation. No more thanklessness, Nothing but ableness. No more negativity, Nothing but positivity. No more subsidence, Nothing but abundance. No more feeling in the abyss, Nothing but bliss. No more absurdity, Nothing but eternity. No more formality, Nothing but individuality. No more bondage, Nothing but independence. No more guiltiness, Nothing but innocence. Let’s move towards these, This is ou

I don’t know where I’m going, But I know that I’ve started the journey. I don’t know what is my wish, But I know that it includes every living being’s benevolence in it. Just like everybody else I’m also in pursuit of happiness, One day that eternal bliss would be achieved, And I’ll be its witness. I’ve expressed my heartiest wish to the universe, And the universe has already started working on it thus. It has started showing me the way, I know the path is far & tough, But at

I’ve always wondered about some things since my childhood, That what does it takes to reach adulthood. As I’m aware adults should be more calm, patient and eloquent, But somehow I don’t find this assumption relevant. Let’s take the example of spirituality and God, How they have molded these two according to what they thought. They go to temples & pilgrimages quite often, But the purpose of doing so has been softened. It’s going like this since ages, I wonder have God put them

Deep within, we are the knowers, Deep down there, we are the thinkers. In that world, we are the parents & we the children, In those realms, we are the teachers & we the students. In those realms, we are the celebrities & we the common man. Yes, we are the devils there & we the angels, Who guide us when we are lost, who criticize us when we are wrong. Who pamper us when we hurt, Who scold us when we are blurred. Its a fight within, Its a patch up within. Its blissful within,

Recently I had to go into that direction for a few days consecutively; due to some work. For the first time I crossed Tihar Jail, also known as Tihar Ashram. I used to be so curious while crossing that area that I wanted to peep in to their huge gates & boundary walls. There are big boards on the top of every gate, which announces "Central Jail Number-1,3,5,6,7,8,9". I thought across that boundary the life must be completely different, some people may have been going through

It's flowing..... I don't know from where..... And whether inward or outward.... But the peace is flowing.... And it's very beautiful....& calm....& relaxing....& soothing....& blissful... It seems as if it was floating on the surface....trying to find an inlet (outlet) to flow....and right here it has found that tiny inlet and there it is... Flowing from all directions... And in abundance... Like oceans of peace... There is no sound... It's silence...completely silence... Ve

I am absolute, But due to my limited knowledge, I've hidden my attributes. I am infinite in qualities & modes of existence, I know it's far away but I'm sure one day I will cover this distance. By gaining more & more knowledge, I'll definitely be acknowledged. I will acknowledge the universe, And slowly & gradually I will immerse... I will immerse & then I will disperse... Disperse in every particle of the universe. That will be the day when I'll become the knower of everythi

What if we start thinking all the living beings as one, Wouldn't it be fun. Then my joy will be yours too, & your pain would be mine. We all will live happily together, And everything will be fine. In fact then I will be you, And you would be me. There would be no differentiation, But only glee. If a barb would affect me, We'll bear it's pain together. And if any of us will get accolades, We will do a get-together. How peaceful our earth would be, No one would kill anyone. No

Just imagine the sea & its waves, How lively are they. So innocent yet so profound. They only one thing, which is to flow, To flow continuously. They come & they go, Sometimes they take something with them, And sometimes they throw. Just imagine the winds & their patterns, How lively are they. So, innocent yet so profound. They only know one thing, which is to blow. To blow continuously. They come & they go, Sometimes they take something with them, And sometimes they throw. J

Our soul communicates through our eyes; how true is that. We can check through someone's eyes whether he is alive or not. Recently on our trip we visited a wax museum, where many famous people's wax statues were there; which were quite real. I tried to peep into their eyes to see something real/different. But obviously they were soul less. I remember when my nani (maternal grand mother) was on her death bed, I went to see her & she had took my hands in hers & had looked at me

I thought of a work and I did it, I thought of a building and created it. I thought of being developed & got developed, I thought of getting equipped & got equipped. I thought of finding the methods & found them, I thought of becoming a gem & now I'm a gem. I thought of covering the distances & covered them, I thought of the technologies & stemmed them. I thought of the food & cooked it, I thought of knitting & knitted it. I thought of the talking & talked, No matter if the p
