Observation

I have tasted time and life, walking past the same places countless times
before. In a rumble of
thunder, I pay attention to mystery that unfolds.

"Speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil." How wonderful this
world would be if everybody begins to live by these principles and start to take their own responsibility.

haiku my heart
Happy realization
Raju, the local quidnunc, who was fond of spreading
news and secrets, remembered meeting a tatterdemalion
who had cursed him saying,“You’ll receive double the amount of what you give.
Your habits shall geminate. If you
continue like this, you’ll suffer. Effect of my words shall eternize if you repeat this mistake.”
It's day 5 of write tribe festival of words #4.
I've tried to weave a story using all the seven words given in the prompt.
For reference
blessings
As words burn in
passionate fire, with the soot and a quill, I try to pen my
inked perception of elongated shadows in the moonlight. I sleep on the bed of fragrant words.

Early in the morning, signs of life, breathe afresh, in between
the lines emerging naturally amidst the rough patches on the
path.

While strolling by the sea, calming fusion of fragrance purifies my breath.

| 2015,Goa |
I feel free and profoundly relaxed as I allow myself to
experience the feeling that envelopes me. Sea-salt and tiny shells caress my
wet foot.
While noticing the tingling sensation in my ankles, I count the many blessings.
Life is as you see it!
Drizzle

| Goa,2015 |
Today,
the setting sun
is wearing a veil of cloud.
A dove
flies
to faraway land.
I hear sparrows chirping.
A raindrop rests
on my window
pane.
It’s drizzling.
Tiny droplets
create ripples
in water,
and in my
heart.
Dried pale leaves
float like paper boats.
A moment passes by.

Take it easy
Do we tell our stories fully? Maybe,
there are many more stories, left untold.
Stories from I don’t know how many
lifetimes, etched on my soul, come up subconsciously, when my conscious mind
rests. Sometimes in my dreams, sometimes as nightmares, sometimes while
counting stars in the night and sometimes in the voice of others...and then, I talk to myself.

| A beautiful reminder outside a mall in Pune. |
Happiness is a choice we often forget to make. Let your anxiety and fears come up to the surface. They are staying in your space absolutely rent-free. Let them go. Choose to be happy. Inspire, and stay inspired.

Sacred
As soon as I landed in an unknown city, a lotus pond, surrounded by white pebbles, caught my attention.
With their graceful presence, the sacred omens guide us wherever we go. I stayed there for a while, observing it closely.
....and there bloomed a lotus flower.
Poetic verses sparkled on the lotus leaf.
Holding on to positive vibes, and letting go of darkness, I took a deep breath. Journey continues.

Be receptive of changes, and stay open to learning. Like the heart of lotus, when our hearts are open and pure, we learn and grow.  |

A lotus bud was in process of unfolding its petals. One by one. Slowly, gracefully.

Shelter from the storm
Trying to resist
the winds of change
A part of you
A part of me
struggles..to just be.
..and there we find
shelter from the storm
in nostalgic embrace
of emerald silence
that fills the void
created in the space
between us.
Is it the golden spring
that reflect in eyes,
or a speck of dust
settled on the leaf
blinding the eye
waiting to be washed away?

haiku my heart
Look up
There is lot of goodness in this world that we tend to
ignore amidst all the negativities that exist. Wake up in the morning, start
reading the newspaper, and there you are! Most of the times, trapped in the
possible circle of negative emotions.
One negative thought create the ripples and head starts
spinning in the whirlpool of emotions as panic, stress and chaos tries to add a
little more to the already mishandled situation. One after another thoughts
rush in, you try to escape, the more you run, the more they chase.
Sleep seems distant, peace too far away.
But then, in that moment,
Take it easy, surrender, sit back and relax!
Situation can’t be changed but there is always an option
to handle it with care, with positivity, with faith that everything is fine.
Finding
positivity in the worst situations always helps to lessen the impact of the
situation, no matter how worse it is. With that thread of positivity, hold on
to hope, and make a way forward. There is nothing to fear.
I remember, my mother said once, “Whenever I get some problem, I
thank god for not making it worse.”
I realized, children always learn from their parents. They
observe their parents and their methods of dealing with situations, and that
leaves an impact on their lives. The way they grow, the way they look at
things.
I believe that every problem has a solution. We never get any
problem that we can’t handle. Every situation can be handled in the light of
love and care. It’s good to stay grateful, for it makes us stronger and gives
us the ability to deal with it.
A few days
back I read an article written by my daughter on optimism. After reading her
thoughts online in her school journal, I was already on cloud nine.
In the evening
she went for her lawn tennis class where she fell down while taking a shot and
was badly hurt.
“I’m sorry! It
happened because of my shot.” Her friend with whom she was playing a match said
to her.
“No problem, it
was a great shot! Why are you sorry? I couldn’t take it properly and slipped on
this cemented ground.” She said with a sporting spirit.
“Please go
back home and get some medication!” Her coach and other friends suggested after
looking at her broken tooth and bleeding gums.
When she came
back home, she had tears in her eyes. She was in pain but tried to control
herself and told the whole story as we applied turmeric on her wounds before
taking her to the doctor.
“She’s a brave
girl! Thank God, nothing much happened. The way she fell down, it could have
gotten worse.” Her dad had said.
We rushed to
the doctor where she was given some medication.
“She’ll be fine in a few days.” Doctor had said.
"Some work has to be done on her tooth once she recovers."
Next day, while looking in the mirror she winked and asked her
dad, “So, what are the plans? Is it going to be gold or a silver tooth?”
We, as parents, couldn't help, but smile.
We, as parents, couldn't help, but smile.
She told me, “Don’t worry, I’m your daughter and I am strong!”
Though she can’t talk properly, can’t have her meals, and she
can’t smile for now, but lighter environment, her will power and optimism is
helping her to heal.
