Thoughts on my plate

With each passing day, something grows stale. My body goes through decay in this cosmic game. My thoughts become ineffective if I sit on it even for a day. I gain a new perspective as I look through the haze. Thoughts are like food, they lose their freshness every second. If I fail to actContinue reading “Thoughts on my plate”

Gopi

Dreams are often compared to reality. In life, we enter when the play is on. We take time to make sense of it. Some more than others whereas some cannot figure out what is happening till the curtains fall for them. The play goes on, irrespective of who comes and leaves the stage. For you,Continue reading “Gopi”

Kaleidoscope

A smile flashed across my child’s face, as the myriad colors came alive She has learnt to see the world, through the Kaleidoscope held close to the eye She dances with joy to see the different hues and I wait with wonder to see if she can see a different view? She marveled at theContinue reading “Kaleidoscope”

The Web

You have given me the Garden of Eden, It boasts of your beauty unparalleled. But now my vision is stuck on the unmistakable web, A home to all that is visible, crawling in the net. It is woven so intricately that I feel condemned for all eternity. It looks beautiful in the light of theContinue reading “The Web”

Pause

Life flows unhindered, the soul within glows undisturbed Who are we then in this play? It’s a question that begs us to Pause the ongoing display. If soul is a witness and the world outside is just matter, lifeless; then we need to ask who is launching an enquiry in this chatter. You say, youContinue reading “Pause”

Surrender

I used to think I was incapable of surrender, The reality is so, that I am scared I might blunder. My being has always longed to give in, But the fear of disappointment forbids bending of knee. Putting love in the centered desires has painful consequences, Transient nature of feelings has made me nauseous. YouContinue reading “Surrender”

Battles Within

The Journey towards North

I don’t like to look back. But sometimes I do. Mostly, when forced by the unwillingness to let go of certain events and people. It’s never pleasant as it always mockingly points at my weakness to still hold on to what has already passed. Yes, the life lived. No, there is nothing wrong in revisitingContinue reading “The Journey towards North”

Time Travel

Time travel is a fascinating subject. But is it fiction? Actually we do it every day. Our roving mind loves to go back and forth in time. How many times have we heard about mindfulness? And how many of us actually practice it successfully? We work in the present moment but think of either theContinue reading “Time Travel”
