I see you
I see you drooping,All green and yellow,Swaying and swinging,Through the mellow. I see you stand tall,Up and super tough;Withstand it all,The smooth and the rough. I see you surge,Continue to grow;Yet wisdom you splurge,To all high and low. I see you everyday,I hear you talk,Tis a day of giving,Is the motto you rock!

THE STAR
Twinkling, twerking, twistingTottering, twirling, tracingThe canvas of the universeTelling tales until end of times Tapping, tagging, trailingTinkering, trodding, travelingThrough territories unknownTo the tempting sound of chimes Tempting, tickling, talkingTeasing, thrilling, toutingThe different faces of a starYet for everyone equally it shines

A Mind-full Drive
Does your mind wanders when you are driving on a familiar road? Then you are a day dream driver!

Fixing Life
I think I need to fix it,There’s something broken it seems;Is it me or is it life,Or is it everything in between? I have an urge to find a solution,To a question or a problemWhich exists only in my mind,And yet it seems so real. Being constantly in the fight or flight mode,Trying to figure […]

Labels
We label people all the time, include ourselves. This label may be a reasonable reflection of who we are right now, but over the time, they tend to make us short-sighted and limit our potentials.

Eternal Hope
Hiding behind the curtains,A watery grave of solitude;A simple click and a small prick,Running the yard askew. A tingling feeling underneath,And a small sign of breathlessness;All very well veiled in the curve,Of an eternal burning sunshine. The search is unending,And the paths are multiple;Strutting along each of them,And changing the course often. An undecided mind,And […]

Living Life
Dream the wildest dream, And pursue the craziest thought; Chase after the butterflies, And run after the moth.

Being Wise
You can read a thousand books,A million videos you can watch;You can talk to the old and wise,Gather all the wisdom you want. You can hoard knowledge,Collect all the sayings in the world;You can be as literate as a sage,And yet be stuck to the very spot. It is great to be called a learned,What […]

Giving Up
Every attempt teaches me, Every try is a lesson; I see myself grow, With each adventure I go.

Mind Illusions
Down in the pits, Wailing and crying; Never stopping to look, Never looking to change.

Leap of faith
What are you afraid of?Why do you hold your steps?Is it something in your mind?Or is it because of your heart’s hurt? Why do you not take chances any more?Like when you were young and bold.When you would just flow with the things,And be eager to explore! What is it that holds you back?Is it […]

Human World
Not everything is to be analyzed,Somethings are to be felt;To be trusted and experienced.Like an everlasting trail of fragrance,They leave memories for life;And remind us of timesWhen we were once stars. Not everything is to be sorted,In the basket of right and wrong;It is just one big ocean,With fishes big and small;Each one is important,Each […]

Like a Butterfly
The more I try to come closer,More further you seem;Like a butterfly,Far away you beam. I try and try to hold youAnd keep you close,Yet you manage to escape,Right on tip toes. I put all my focus on you,And do everything I can do;Yet it doesn’t seem enough,Yet it doesn’t seem good. Now I think […]

Seeking Answers
Staying up at nights, I keep thinking;Trying to find answers,Of questions I do not know.Asking the darkness,To show me the light;Asking the weak,Tell me, how to fight?I keep running over and over,Through the same lanes,And the same roads;Hoping to run into something new,Something exciting, Giving me a cue.Little do I know, For the answers I […]

Dear visitor
I can hide you in my eyes,But promise me you won’t show;Or I can give you a space in my heart,But please don’t make it too dark. I can disguise you in my words,Do not fill up the space between lines;I can conceal you in my smile,As long as you don’t turn into frown. I […]

Let’s break the silence on mental health issues for NRIs
“Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but, importantly, YOU ARE NOT THE RAIN.” — Matt Haig The thought of living abroad in a new country comes with its excitement, making us picture a happy life full of adventures […]

It’s not you, It’s me!
When I see you, it’s sad, You obviously need some help, Even though you don’t think that’s true, But I can see it all through. I can see your mind angry, I can feel your cry for help; It’s clearly visible how you avoid things, And people betrayed, this is how you felt. Like you […]

Some goodbyes are forever
Not everyone stays in our life forever. Some people need to leave. Some are literally kicked out. Others, well, we really want them with us forever, but somehow we find them leaving. We want to hold them tight, try every possible way to keep them, even change ourselves, be ready to cut-off other relations for […]

Key to finding solutions
Finally, it was a holiday for the children living in the building. They had decided to contribute 10 rupees each and pool the funds to have a small picnic at the garden. This was not like the garden near their building. it was a big one with lot of space, more slides and fun equipments […]

Weeding your subconscious
Every incident matters. It leaves an everlasting trace on you. No matter how small, and no matter how insignificant. You are changing every single minute. Each encounter leaves an impact on you. You are nothing but a collection of events since birth and beyond. Every event that happened to you has shaped you in some […]

You are what you give away
We all have judged someone one time or the other. Oh, she is good. Yeah, He’s snazzy. Well, I wish he were more intelligent. And we all subconsciously continue to do so. But have we ever though what kind of person we are? No, really? Have we ever? I am sure a lot of us […]

Are you just an option?
You feel special, you feel adored,Absolutely cared for, Spoiled to the core.Your every word is heard,Your every emotion explored.Happy happy little birdie,In their presence, you soar.Yet something keeps nagging,Something doesn’t seem right.There are times when you feel,Completely ignored.All the limelight, and all the focus,Once uphill, all go down the road.They call you and talk,But only […]

Maybe this is you
Being hurt by people is inevitable. Being hurt by yourself is worst. Those broken promises leave you doubtful.You surround yourself with walls.You become too afraid to be vulnerable.You become more comfortable with distancing yourself.You create new hobbies and engage your mind.You laugh and dance. Meditate and travel.Once in a while you feel lonely.But you think […]

The fear of the unknown
The unknown grabs metwists my guts and turns them around.Not knowing the outcomelocks me to the ground. It grapples meto the hooks of routineaccepting what isfor the ordinary thing. It makes me want to staywhere I should be leavingand be afraid of doingwhat might be the right thing. It ties me down in my very […]

Blame game
“You always blame me for what happened”; “Why am I always responsible for anything that goes wrong?” If this is what something you keep telling or wondering, chances are you are the one blaming yourself rather than others around you. You need to recognize the pattern of automatically holding yourself responsible for everything around you. […]

Things are meant to be
If things are meant to be,Nothing you do matters;However unlikely they seem,Even if they are in tatters. All the obstacles you counted,And all the negatives you saw;There’s always a way that works,That’s the goddamn law! If people are meant to be together,They will end up so;All they must do is trust,And just go with the […]

Friends
They put you down,They lift you up;They turn you around,And make you a clown. They embarrass you,And put you in trouble;Make fun of you,And burst your little bubble. They make you laugh,They make you cry;They understand your heart,Even when your eyes are dry. They support you,Through thick and thin;And have your back;Even when you are […]

It’s a new day
A new day, a new beginning;A new way to live.A new sway, A new start;Another chance to give! Let today be the tomorrow;Which never really arrives.It’s the time to do;To transform our lives! Get up and go to the gym;Do that work pending since.Start something that makes you keen;Let’s just redefine our routines! Today, make […]

When worries surround you
When worries surround you,And you don’t know what to do;When nothing seems to work,Everyone looks like a jerk. When restlessness is your new friend,And you have so much to mend;When nothing anymore excites you,“Oh routine! I am tired” is your cue. Stop worrying of the future and the past,These will not last;Do what need to […]

I belong
I belong where I am,I have nowhere else to be;This is the moment I was waiting for,So carefully crafted for me! I belong in this place,In this time and space;With all the experience of being,So peaceful and freeing! I was meant to be here,In this very throne;So still and so rooted,Despite the daily drone! No […]

Unstuck yourself!
I have seen a lot of people feeling stuck in their life at some or the other point. They have this feeling where they feel worthless, they are bored with life. Life feels like a routine. Nothing new, nothing exciting. They hate their life. They feel worthless. They feel as if there is nothing to […]

Remembrance
In the midst of the work,Something suddenly reminds me of you;I pause a moment and smile,Yeah, I do miss you! I miss the long conversations,The midnight “I can’t sleep” talks;Me talking all nonsense,And you putting up with it all! Your thoughtful gestures,And the caring thoughts;The diversions you created,Just to make me forget it all. You […]

I am a good person!
I am such a good person,And yet, bad things happen to me. Oh, he is such a creep,Did you see how rude that one was;And that guy surely has attitude,Oh, this one really stinks. She is always lost,What does she keeps thinking of,Oh, and her! She looks so mean,Well, how did that one become a […]

Stories our mind makes up
Ask your mind to stop thinking for a bit? At the precise moment, innumerable thoughts will come up to keep you engaged. Well, this is the nature of our mind. Mind is the master. Majority of us identify ourselves as our mind. What we lack to realize is that mind has It’s own identity. Just […]

The invisible
Like a blanket of comfort;Like the favorite shirt,Like a blessing in disguise;Like the waves that rise;Like the bond of joy;And the amusing toy;Like a laborers chore;A traditional folklore;Like the sun that shines;Oh! the intoxicating wine;Like the moon that reflects;And the hearts that connect;Like the all supreme;Yet the very dream;Like the see-able unseen;The core of every […]

I am growing
I am growing, evolving; I am turning into a new me. Slowly, but surely, I am going to be free. My mind is just a tool, And my thoughts still rule; It will take loads of time, But ultimately, I will find. What I seek, is seeking me; And distracted I might be, Yet, it […]

Thoughts of sorrow
Everything I believed in, Got lost with time; Everything I said mine, Aged away with wine. Every step I took, Got erased with each wave; And everywhere I looked, All I saw was grave. All hearts dark, And all hands closed; Even from the lake, A jealous smoke rose. Stood there in the midst, A […]

Special People
…. but some people are special, They are never to be forgotten… They are never to be ignored, Never to be bored; They will always be missed, And respected and cherished; Wherever they may be, They’ll always be remembered with bliss. Many will come and many will go, Some may settle, and some may no; […]

A Letter For Me!
I found a letter, a letter for me, It said open, with a huge smiley! It talked of things all gee, Of how strong I am, And how wonderful I can be!

Rise up
I fall time and again, Yet I get up and walk; I aim to fly high in the sky, Whilst I am still crawling. People I love – leave, And yet I am still hopeful. When everything comes crashing, I smile and say, There’s always another chance, A new day, A new opportunity. I am […]

Let them go!
In the meantime, full concentrate on yourself – the single most important person in your life who matters the most!

Stop Judging…. Yourself!
“Oh, it’s not really his fault”, “It’s ok buddy no worries” or “That’s alright. I completely understand why you did what you did”. We all have said this to a lot of people. We all have forgiven other people for their mistakes, for the hurt that they have caused us. We always give other people […]

Stop running the race!
This life is a race,A race to run,From being the strongest to the richest;And to run, we all have begun. You have to be the first,Second is just a myth!Oh you are no good,No better than that Smith! We keep chasing,Chasing down the imaginary goals;Did we ever stop and think?In the end, what is its […]

Words are all I have
Words are all I have, And words are all I can give; May it be an expression, Or be it a piece of advice; To act or not to, is your decision. The meaning of my words will change for each, Based on your perspective and experience; What I mean to say is not what […]

Grounding Is Important
Originally posted on Be Inspired..!!:
Grounding is THE key to emotional and energetic balance. It means that you are present in your body and firmly connected to the Earth. Grounding is especially important for people with high-sensitivity (HSP – highly sensitive people). With good grounding, you can keep your balance, be fully present in the… -
When life hits you!
Some people are hurt with others, Others are hurt with life itself; When life hits you hard on your head, Everyone around you is responsible for that! Someone’s good intention is seen as bad, To suit the situation in your head; When life hits you hard on your head, Everyone around you is responsible for […]

Wondering oh why!
And just like that wondering, she sat, Looking up in the sky; By the window at the foothills, Wondering oh why!

Six Strings of a Guitar
Aren’t we all a little like that? Limited by ourselves and so involved in our own thoughts of right and wrong that we forget to see beyond. We are so comfortable in our routines and egos and limits set by ourselves that we actually forget to live!

The Lost Kid
My past experiences define me now, Oh, I am afraid to open up anymore; I can’t just let go of it, I Just don’t know how!

Of Open and Close Doors
Sometimes everything is so short-lived. You are left surprised – Didn’t it just start? How did it come to an end so quickly? Didn’t I just arrive? How come I have to leave so soon? I had just started having fun, loosening up. I had just started to feel myself again. Do I have to […]

The Writer’s Story
There are always people who appreciate it. And then there are people who think it’s common and nothing new. But to her, the writing matters – as long as it can connect with even a single person, she is happy!

Don’t Lust, Grow!
A thousand suns are still insufficient for the insatiable minds. Isn’t that true? When all we want is more and more, we can never be satisfied. But is it wrong to ask for more? It’s that a way of moving ahead in your life? We don’t want stagnation in our lives. All of us want […]

It’s All About Relationships
Ask people “what is life all about?”, and you get so many different answers – it is about finding your purpose, being a good human being, fulfilling your dreams or simply living. Personally, I feel life is all about experiencing both – the good and bad, learning your lessons and evolving. But here, I want […]

Break That Pattern – Part 1
Today I want to tell you a story – Story of a girl who was beautiful, strong, talented and Miss perfectionist! She was 14 years old. Always a topper in the class. Any extra-curricular activity and she was the first to participate. The ideal student. All the teachers loved her. One would think she will grow […]

Friends are forever
Friends – we all have them. They are like our extended family, sometimes extended part of ourselves! With them, we can be as crazy as we like and still be counted sane! They are the people whom we share our every secret, every joy and sadness. We have fights, we patch-up, we talk about our […]

Have a Magical Day – Every Day!
Life is never one smooth journey. There are always ups and downs in life. Everyone has both good and bad phases in life. The good phases make happy memories. The bad phases obliviate them!! “Everything happens for a good reason” or “God / Universe always has your back”. In my mind, I always think – are […]

You are a Star – Literally!
We all have the capacity to be something so much more than we are right now. No matter where we are and what we are doing. We all can be so much more. All we need to do is believe in the magic we possess. We need to remember every minute how very special we are. And that my dear friends, is the secret to all our happiness.
