Power of Gratitude

Today has been a day of gifts!!!! And I've been doing a happy dance since morning! Infact it started last night when a much awaited amount of money hit our account and then I got a discount in an order I placed with a grocer! Today, I was a little upset about something from last night and was in question of how can I change it. The awareness I received was "What can I be grateful for here?" and I knew right away! That changed my mood to a bouncy one and we left home to pick up some stuff. Right then, I received a pending amount from someone and they chose to send a round off, making me the beneficiary! I was glowing in that, when she also offered me an unmatchable offer on her classes! So much gratitude! While I was just jumping with joy at that, the local coconut vendor decides to give us a discounted price on the tender coconuts; just for us! On our way back home from there, I was elated and literally shouting "Thank you Universe!!!!!" and at the n

All that I don't want to

As I struggle with self love As I struggle to love the one I look in the mirror As I struggle to look at a fast changing face, a quickly ageing body As I struggle to come to terms with beauty as we see it As I struggle to come to terms with the abyss I seem to be getting pushed into Time n again, rising like the Phoenix I long back chose to be I write to express I write to cry it out I write to address My deepest pains n vent it out I write in creative expression Of all that I can’t express... ...And all that I don’t want to

Release

I wish I could say I was going down a deep dark alley, but truth be told, it was so dark, I could not see whether there was one! I could see nothing, I heard nothing. It was as if around me, suddenly, was a vacuum. People I loved no longer existed. The life I so loved, no longer thrived. The colorful world I had chosen around me suddenly wilted and burned down to a harrowing painful rubble. I was chained down, may be glued down, aching to move. I had become rock solid and could feel myself no more. It was as if I had been turned to stone, like in some movie I saw long back, but my soul was left in. My body seemed at its best, and yet the pain inside was tremendous! I could have crushed a mountain inside out with that intensity! I seemed to have become invisible. I could hear myself crying out for help from the inside. I could see myself as if as an outsider, and yet could offer that crying weeping dying soul no help! I stretched out my hand for help and was every time called crazy. I w

What would it take for me to be the child? To have that sparkle! To have that never waning enthusiasm! To be the curious energy! To be the energy of amusement! What would it take for me To be fun! To be joyous! To be happy all the time? What would it take for me To see happy and sad just for what it is And move ahead nevertheless To just explore right and wrong And may be out of it make a song? What would it take for me To not bother how I look? To not bother how my friends speak? What would it take for me To see me as just me. To be me, Just ME?

The Hyenas

It was a place of lush greenery all around. Birds chirping away, smell of wet earth from the distance, a peacock's voice could be heard in the distance every once in a while. He always felt privileged to be in the lap of mother earth; something not everyone enjoyed. Tall grass and Lantana all around, it was the space of the kings and queens who ruled the place. He had to be careful. He was a mere visitor after all. He would take one step after another, being extra cautious to not disturb even the smallest of animals, lest it disturbed the ecological balance of the place! Walking through the jungle today, amidst barren land that wouldn't have vegetation on it for at least a few years, he suddenly saw a carcass. Walking through the graveyard of what was once a forest, the Tiger's charred carcass was still too much for him to take. He knew it wasn't natural. His body shivered with rage, eyes red with fury. Here's a beautiful being, disfigured beyond recognition, owing

Spec of Light

You are perfect! You! Yes, You! What if there's no fat or thin? No fair or dark skin? What if we are all just a spec of light? In a Universe so bright? So what if we know nothing? Or specialized in everything? So what if you are a killer A thief or a burglar? So what if the world revered you or loathed you? After all, the stopped clock is twice right too!    What if everything's just a choice? And you could change and transform like River to Ice? Would you choose to lose? Would you choose to choose?

This Celebration called Life!

Let's Blow those Candles And Cut that Cake! Bring out the expensive cutlery For the porridge I make! I can't wait for Christmas! My birthday is too far! I gotta celebrate NOW! Cos NOW is all I got! If yesterday I was waiting for today And today I wait for tomorrow Then where is the day I have fun? From whom should I borrow?  I saved as a child For I'd grow old one day. I'm saving as an adult now For I'd grow older the next day! I imagined I'd die rich With a huge house and much wiser! But may be I'd die an old witch! Who could be nothing but a miser! So bring on that costly gown! All the expensive accessories! All the luxuries this planet has to offer! All the yachts and ferries! Cos Today's all I got! Cos tomorrow is another day. Cos NOW is all I got! And I gotta celebrate it my way!
