  • Live more, consume less

    It actually is very exciting to be busy living, thriving the way you want, growing and being more than you were yesterday.

    And it’s even more exciting to be able to share it with others. Your inner group, your circle, the folks who knows you for the roles or relations you play in their lives.

    And it’s a thrill to go public with your life’s nuances – the high one seems from the validation got from the anonymous online world. Your life’s trivials could go viral and seemingly mundane stuff could grab more eyeballs than imagined.

    It’s this high that drives ‘creators’ and ‘influencers’ of this era. Not that we as public are to abstain completely from consuming what’s available. It’s a good source of information but the magic is in finding the balance. To let ourselves decide what we consume rather than the being a slave to the algorithm.

  • Together Yet Independent

    Sounds like an oxymoron? Not really. Growth that comes by being together can be complemented by growing independent as well.

    Think of your dependents like kids or elderly parents. Isn’t all your endeavor towards making them independent thereby driving their growth. At the same time, sharing space and resources imparts growth which is difficult to achieve by being aloof.

    Likewise couples – friends, dating or otherwise too can find organic growth by sharing bonds of togetherness as well as by asserting bouts of independence. Such a journey is both natural and cyclical – not to pit one against the other.

  • Influencers are us

    Humans constantly influence, negotiate and motivate since prehistoric ages. Influence is not a new currency, it is the first one indeed.

    On a daily basis one influences one’s seniors, colleagues & teams to build speed agility at workplace. One acts as a positive influence for family to keep at routines. Infact even seemingly inconsequential decisions like where to dine, which flight to take, etc require influencing one’s peers.

    Thus we are all influencers. And shall always be 💪

  • Learning & Knowledge

    Read a book and you learn. Live through an experience and you gain knowledge.

    Both go hand in hand as an individual grows and shapes up in life. Neither is superior to the other, nor can one suffice what other imparts. Without learning and individual is at loss of understanding the fundamentals. Without knowledge an individual is not worldly wise.

    Vashisth imparted learning to Ram while Vishwamitra gave opportunities to face the reality of the world. Can you imagine Ram being the मर्यादा पुरुष, the best of men without either?

  • Pespective : Difficult or Different

    Choices. We make numerous of them on daily basis. Some turn out good, others may fall flat. Infact even that is just a perspective. One man’s good can be another’s bad.

    All choices difficult are different. But not necessarily all choices different are difficult. It’s a matter of perspective, a diverse point of view and an understanding which lies deep within each one of us.

  • Eternity in an hour

    Life is a string of moments. Moments where the eyes meet, words are exchanged and thoughts are shared with others. Moments when two persons connect and their souls share a lyrical beat.

    In such moments; mostly fleeting and sometimes lasting, we realize what the heart misses the most. Whom it cherishes and what it desires. These are the moments when an hour spent could seem like eternity.

  • Today is special too

    Lots we do is about securing, planning and building the future.

    Stashing away stuff for a prized event. Organizing routines for a special occasion. Looking forward to a celebration.

    Here & Now

    All this when we can’t be sure of how tomorrow is going to turn out. Dead or alive, we can’t see into the crystal bowl.

    So celebrate today. It’s a privilege to be alive & kicking. Having food on the plate, clothes to wear and roof over the head calls for being grateful and feeling special too.

  • In the search of betterness

    The grass is always green on the other side. Empty nesters crave company, full nesters crave solitude. Parents seek silence, couples seek space and singles seek intimacy.

    If only we could start stirring a dollop of joy in what we do and chime in a jingle apt for what we are facing. If only we could start fully embracing the cards we are dealt on a daily basis. ‘I am happy, I am blessed’ is a human rarity.

  • Ishq wala love

    Pure, unadulterated and unhinged – the first love you find as budding young adult at college. Described here is the recollection of college sweethearts.

    For us it was simply joyful to wait for each other, the bus and our college sessions. We used to look forward to turning up each day, knowing we can then bask in each other’s being. Simple joys of being seated next to each other. In a bus full of people yet the world was just you and me for those twenty minutes. The ride would be just us both cherishing the quiet after the long, noisy and chaotic college day. Quiet in which we found each other and our love; of which we grew fond, of which we wove dreams of a happily ever after and of which we exchanged unsaid vows of trust and friendship.

  • Routines and Roles

    What comes first? Your role chooses your routine or your routine defines your role?

    For most working parents, roles define their routines. Once in a while they would love to be away from the parenting mode and focus on other aspects of life. Helping the individual nurture their holistic personality and other shades of a being.

    Sometimes, the role remains but in a different setting, one where the routine can be more relaxed. This arrangement helps develop the existing bond. Devoid of the pressure of routine, one can be spontaneous in their quality of time spent together.

    But these were rare settings. More often than not, in daily life neither can be escaped from. Take the middle path – where the role remains but the routines can be flexed to the maximum!
