The heat goes up. It has been going up The earth, burns. Outside and inside We call it global warming.. Laugh, as many accidentally ?? Mispronounce As global warning. And then we go about, Life as usual. “Good. We have a word for it now. And that should solve the problem. The aircons turn up. The sales of cold brews goes up. Capitalism yet again, Scoops. We are good a “solving” problem We are just not that good at identifying the real problem And so, we isolate – once again. And I, I try and sleep during the day. It…
I am at the end of my US trip. And the one thigs I always buy, as MOST people I know always do are ..Fridge Magnets. In another deep conversation with my friends Jamie and Quanita, and the many spontaneous quotes came up, and we thought they were fridge magnet worthy. And yet another trip to a friend beautiful home.. while the house itself was gorgeous….I found myself lingering a lot more around the fridge. It has more true memories and account of the family and what was important to them. Made me pause….. the Irony (since I am a…
Sitting at the Kuwait airport and watching people., I am feeling lazy and content. A saw a family with 3 kids, who were boisterous even at 4 am in the morning. The random others like me derived surrogate joy from watching them in their joyful abandon. It was beautiful. And then the prayer started and someone suddenly shushed the kids in a hard way. The kids had no idea what happened, but they became quiet. The atmosphere of natural spontaneous joy suddenly changed.. to a hush. Given that I am a fan of irony, this made me think of which…
I travel often. And often with a cabin luggage. So that I don’t have to wait for my bag. This morning, I was stopped with many fellow passenger just before boarding This flight is full ma’am, can we take the baggage off your hands ?” Generally, I insist and take my “baggage” in anyway. Today I felt otherwise. I left my bag with an assurance of “priority” tag, in order to take care of my concern about waiting. I suddenly felt free. No anxiety of finding a “place” for my bag. Of inconveniencing some other people, trying to avoid any…
Move. Don’t just walk You have been walking for miles, days and years Haven’t you? It’s not the same , you know – Walking and moving. Some movements, happen, when being absolutely still, also And you can walk a thousand miles -And yet, not move an inch – Inside Movement is the essence. Nature is constantly moving . Even you don’t see or notice it. Funnily none of your knowledge, your reading, will be of any use, if you don’t move. Two legs and open eyes to see with will suffice Move… Walk alone if you must. Across the land,…
(Preamble: Last 2 months, Mumbai, that is home has been growing through crazy climate churn. wit extreme temperatures an dsuddenly heavy rains. It has started to take a toll on the physical and mental health of many people. It’s true in many other parts of the world as well. We are paying a price.) There are no free lunches. We pay The eyes pay for the wilful blindness to what is happening to the world around us By giving up the capacity to twinkle, and tear up in sorrow and joy They run dry and cracked, like an arid desert…
Where the mind is without Boundaries and the head submits to the deep heart Where knowledge is not anthropocentric, And wisdom is seeing beyond the frail edges of the body Where the world has not been broken into Us and them Where the story does not begin with, when I was born. Where the story of evolution, does not end with the arrival of humans. Where, ‘rights’ don’t just apply to people and things only Where “nature” is not just a resource Where mosquitoes are not just a nuisance Where pigeons and not an encumbrance Where trees are not cut…
A few days ago, on coming back home after a longish work trip, I was sitting sipping my morning tea and journaling, absent mindely looking and saying hello to my plants. I almost know each of them and how they are changing. My eye immediately went to a new plant, that wasn’t there when I left. I saw these big green leaves, and immediately knew what it was, but.. then it couldn’t be. Because I know I have certainly not planted it. My curiosity now piqued, and journal forgotten, I went to have a closer look. And sure enough. It…
In realms of quantum physics Rapturous and deep, A tale of waves, Into their journey… a delicate peep. Refraction- the Dance, of light’s sojourn song, From medium to medium, as they glide along. But, buried in the heart’s fervent sphere, Yet another transformation Draws near. On psychodrama’s stage, a soulful play, Where people’s essence finds its own way. Emotions swirl, like waves of light, Through psychodrama’s spontaneous might. As one transitions, From movement, to heart, to mind, In depths of self – through roles new paths they find. Like waves that bend when mediums change, In psychodrama – perspectives rearrange.…
As someone who rebelled against and was constantly reminded of healthy boundaries, I can share that this journey, even as I learn to embrace has been transformative. Drawing Healthy Boundaries. I saw a fresh perspective: Boundaries can actually be empowering catalysts for success! In both personal and professional realms, clearly defined boundaries serve as guiding principles that enable us to navigate our journeys with grace and purpose. By establishing boundaries, we create a framework that allows us to focus our energy, talents, and resources more effectively. Just as a skilled dancer flourishes within the structure of choreography, so too can…
