A Lifetime Captured in a Cupboard

A Lifetime Captured in a Cupboard

Comments 1 comment

One of my favourite things to do in life is to open the cupboard kept in our bedroom and look into it. My cherished cupboard of books! The cupboard is in a bedroom of our beautiful apartment that overlooks two lovely coconut trees on which birds plonk and chirp throughout the day. The bedroom enjoys sunshine, breeze and the balcony is open to the sky. Another of my favourite settings. Wind, sun, open spaces and stars! Holding a book in…

Universe is made of love

It is love that binds It is the connecting force In the emptiness when you are distant, When you are sad or happy. When you are thinking about beloveds Whether you meet or not See or not Love stays. All over Pervades Across distances Across lands Even after the body is gone Binds Love stays, lurks, connects. The universe is made of love All that is and will be The racing heart knows it all Let love live in my…

The Mesmerizing Mist and Undulating Mountains of Kodaikanal

The Mesmerizing Mist and Undulating Mountains of Kodaikanal

Comments 0 Comment

Deep gorges and undulating mountains bathed in a range of flora and mist define the breathtakingly beautiful Kodaikanal. I wonder how many caves and caverns remain unexplored and frankly they are better off unknown. Kodaikanal gave me an unforgettable experience. It was when we were walking downhill on a precarious slope somewhere in the vicinity of the Pillar Rocks. It was late afternoon but sunlight did not reach this unnamed rocky mountain. We were higher up and only mist faced…

Solace

Parched and pained in the prison of circumstances, tired of obligations. It seemed like I had reached a point of break off. I was saturated. I wanted to run away afar to endless vast open spaces, feel free like a bird in the sky. As always, stones and mountains beckoned me. When the wind blew, it whispered something into my desperate soul. When I touched stones and wondered at the stillness of granites and sand used in ancient temples, they…

Wars and diseases

Many of us are and were hooked on to the popular television series Game of Thrones which concluded recently. After experiencing shock and horror while watching the first few episodes, one gets used to the gory scenes. Friends turn foes overnight. It takes only a few seconds for the Starks to get brutally slaughtered. You don’t even get moments to feel angst and regret for the blood-laden and scattered dead bodies of the Starks. It is all over in a…

For millions of years i have been around A speck in the grand undefinable cosmos What is a mere speck of sand or a small atom of a star? And yet i exist Feeling the wind And the hum of the magnetic forests The sound of waves crashing on rocks by the sea An angel hears my cries and comes by to wipe my tears i remember holding a fairy in my palms And yet i am mortal Hapless Anguish…

Rediscovered path

What is sacred? You’ve forgotten. What was it that you had discovered? Were in love with? Part of a whole With the purpose to heal To feel humanity deeply Like a lotus blooming in your heart Where did you lose your way? The dance in the universe The forces You are part of them More than the body The very reason why you like to watch stars in the sky Because you hear them talk to you. Long back found…

Who am i?

What is the power of a healer? Where does it come from? Why do you want to heal? For what? Is there a need to? How are you qualified to be a healer? Has it really made a beneficial difference to anybody? I am a being, one of the types. Whoever, whatever. Made of ‘intentions’ Chose to come here on earth. Certainly to nullify pending equations And? Just wallow around, is it? No. Also here to be of use Beneficial…

Is your environment consuming you?

“The environment has gathered me in illusion. I can feel gray clouds hovering above my head. My purpose is shrouded because I have surrendered to the environment. They say and I believe. The genius loses path and becomes a mediocre. Absence of focus. Who is it? Environment or me?” Each of us predominantly carries a persona that is both directly and indirectly a result of the environment in which we grew up and exist in at the moment. We are…

Identity Crisis

A close friend once wondered if she would experience identity crisis when she went abroad to study further. She was enthusiastic about her future academic plans and like best pals we were discussing every detail. Typically, some form of culture shock and loneliness are inevitable. I don’t think one experiences identity crisis only when one has to stay in an unknown country for a period of time. Amidst us there are definitely souls searching for their identities and are unaware….
