Today’s events turn to tomorrow’s stories, Tales recalled of shared experiences and soirees. Build today that you’d want to reminisce as you age, Many remembrances can be relived as you turn a page, Fill your life with a legacy of love and grace, not hate and rage. Construe memories that bring smile and satisfaction at … Continue reading Today & Tomorrow
From foreboding and fear, To rehashing events of gone by year(s), Like all else, it starts with the thoughts, And then to actions and habit is brought.

Inspiration can appear anywhere- Some have found in stories of tortoise and hare. Others in mirrors, as they stare. Usually in situations that one doesn’t fear, but dare. Many seek in nature and its myriad layer. Millions in regular penance and prayer. Some visit seas, high mountains, temples, while others find in their lair. Depends … Continue reading Inspiration
I am becoming more like you Ma, I fear less and feel more, Sulk less and smile more, Judge less and juggle more. I am becoming more like you Ma, I say yes more and less nah, I am becoming more like you Ma, I cook patiently to bring out the flavor, And eat slowly … Continue reading Mom
Silence of early morning is mesmerizing, quiet all around is energizing, my prayers are uninterrupted. Observations, undisrupted I can think keenly. Sip my chai serenely. Sun will soon rise without a din, workings of the day will begin, chirps of birds will fill the air, and morning will be announced with flair. Soon, my home … Continue reading Morning
How do you quantify care? How do you compute dare? How much is enough for prayer? How happy is a lair? Feelings don’t have a measure, These exist at their leisure, Can bring boundless pain or pleasure, Can be a burden or a treasure. Dualities in life are imperative, Happiness and sadness are relative. Love-hate, … Continue reading Feelings
Expectations can weigh heavy, Are they human life’s levy? Aren’t expectations pertinent for progress to be had? Not all can be ugly or bad. Expectations from self are the best, One is both a student and a teacher in a test. Fulfilling one’s goals or dreams above rest. Can feel like reaching the crest. But … Continue reading Expectations

As parents, we slowly learn to let go, Though, this field is not easy to … Continue reading Parent and Child
In the night, as I unwind, Events of the day rewind, Some linger longer and to memory bind, Others, quickly exit the mind. Unpleasant days can spill into the night, Disturb serenity, sleep and show their unruly might, Cause and consequence playback and trouble like a blight, Twists and turns instead of shuteye are not … Continue reading New Story
Today, I need a break, I plan to neither rake nor bake. My well being is at stake. Tomorrow will be different, but today, I have nothing to make. Routines are good, give rhythm to life, But, today I need a break. Humdrum of everyday life has to some days-cease. Pauses are vital-to revisit other … Continue reading Rest
