  • The art of chilling

    Not the freezing that the Earth’s polar cause! And no, most certainly not, am I referring to being lazy, tardy and careless. But staying calm in the eye of a storm, attaining a level of zen and developing an attitude that balances care-concern with discern towards one’s inner peace.

    Putting up your feet

    Do not mistaken it as a sign of weakness, being aimless or suggesting to put up your feet all times. But more like mimicking  a duck, paddling furiously beneath the surface but staying poised to the outside chaos. It can do wonders to minimize the anger and frustration which arises due to friction with other humans – leading to a path of joyous harmony and invaluable health.

  • Wonder wall

    They said something gross, you got angry. They didn’t speak up, you got angry  They did something, you got angry. They did nothing, you got angry. There’s a pattern you see, it seems it isn’t them but you after all.

    Whether they do or don’t, say or not, you expect more and you get attached to the outcome. You center it upon yourself and equate it to your worth. And that my friend makes you angry.

    The action, the words, the behaviour is there’s to decide. Your reaction to it is solely your realm. Preserve it, guard your happiness, maintain your equilibrium and protect your inner peace. Shamelessly. Because only you can shelter it, nurture it and derive strength from it.

    Don’t wait for a prince or princess charming to rescue you, be your own protector. Be your wonder wall.

  • The new normal

    They say time and tide wait for none, and so shouldn’t I,

    But then it’s been ages, been a while,

    That I felt elated, felt life on a note this high,

    Feeling the emotional tank overflow, sigh!

    Content, comfortable and smiling in my world,

    In the new relations and rituals I was curled.

    Blissfully unaware of what I had lost on the way,

    Or maybe aware but keeping it all tucked away.

    Don’t go that path; cautioned my mind,

    Keeping turning away, an eye blind.

    This new you has all the strength,

    Go embrace it and tread the length.

    Said my heart and good Lord I did hear it,

    Not going to be easy so take it a bit by bit.

    Easy it wasn’t, flowers and thorns alike,

    I like the journey, as much as I now dislike.

    Clear judgement of what’s right and wrong,

    We are in the rightful places where we belong.

    So lighten up, smile and keep it sort of formal,

    After all this is going to be the new normal!
