If I Could…
Speaking – An Art for Open Minds!
“It’s Imperative to be Open Minded while Being A Great Orator “
1) We should be able to accept different perspectives. We have to understand various dimensions and increase our Horizons.
2) There can be more collaborations. Having An Attitude of openness will create an atmosphere for collaborations. There can be more agreements because people will feel that their thoughts and ideas are been welcomed.
3)Ability to handle differences, challenges will be more refined. Close mindedness will only create a shallow space of thought; Take the route of empathy for better resolutions.
“Speaking well is an Art” only when we are fostering acceptance and understanding!

Life like Snakes and Ladders..
Life Game is Challenging! No One has a Smooth Sail, we meet and navigate the situations that Life throws at us.
We Start, We Pace, We Slowdown, We Fail and Repeat Again and Again.
In many lessons and Experiences that I learn daily – I strangely found a connect of Snakes and Ladders with Life.
Rolling on to dice (Opportunities) every move teaches us something. It is rather interesting to understand how subconsciously we grasp the art of maneuvering through the difficult terrains to reach to the End (what we perceive as end) only to start a new with same enthusiasm each time.

Rediscover Yourself
It’s not uncommon for people to experience moments of reflection and uncertainty about the path they’ve taken in life. Life’s journey is filled with unexpected turns and twists.
Question self about the path chosen – if is followed or have detoured at wrong turn somewhere.
At some point in life, it is difficult to understand if we have travelled this far or did go lost somewhere in between.
Self – Reflection is Important . Ask yourself what truly matters to you and if your current path aligns with those values. It’s never too late to reassess and make adjustments to your journey.
We must Remember that life is a dynamic and keeps evolving .Sometimes, the most valuable lessons come from the challenges and detours we face. Embrace the opportunity for growth, and don’t be afraid to make changes if you feel they are necessary to align your life with your authentic self.
It can be overwhelming to rediscover yourself, to rekindle with the aspirations once possessed. But everything takes time, trust people you love, practice self confidence, read more, push yourself to look beyond failures and allow every chance to explore more.
Ultimately, understanding your journey and finding fulfillment often involves a continuous Self Actualisation process.

Address Books from Paper to Phones
In an era dominated by digital devices and instant connectivity, there exists a relic from the past that holds a unique sentimental value – the classic address book. For those who experienced this age, these humble books were more than just a collection of names and numbers; they were a repository of connections, memories, and personal touch.
Address books were collections of relations big or small, it was a storehouse of contacts that we used in everyday life. There was always significant effort put to connect with someone; Whether to know well being, or invite someone home or even with people who supported us in everyday life.
Flipping through the pages of an address book was walk through memory lane. Each name connected through a moment; Addresses were penned down personally – of relatives, neighbours, friends, acquaintances. And even of support help like plumber or gas cylinder delivery boy.. 🙂
There was a dedicated effort made to write each contact detail and the process of acquiring details also involved great effort. I remember being a kid many a times we used to check the correctness or latest information through the details mentioned on wedding cards received from relatives or neighbours or even exchanged details through a common acquaintance.
This fostered different camaraderie, because of the genuine willingness that people showed to stay in touch.
I vividly recall the joy of finding a phone number, always leading to discovering a few more names to reconnect with.
Those days call rates were also pretty steep, every minute of the phone was utilised, conversations had essence and genuineness was all that was been spoken.
People who didn’t had luxury of having phone connections at home had to go to phone booths to make calls, they carried small pocket diaries along.
Phone booths had limited time allowed to customers : Privacy in conversations was missing unlike today but guess people had respect for other’s privacy.
Loosing a contact had meagre possibility because of physical record been maintained.
Every call had a clean intent in conversation, and every phone call was valued enough.
In contrast to those times, we have smart phones or digital gadgets today to save contacts. While it simplifies the way we access details or connect with each other, it also carries downside to it.
We take each other a little less important, loss of a contact is inconsequential. An attempt for a phone call has diminished and is loosing its charm.
Today People are easily connected but are more busier and even lesser closer.
We are missing on the charm of looking up in the address book, reminiscing the moments of capturing details; Finding a long lost contact between pages and the happiness around it, prized conversations and urge for a conversation.
Today, it is easy to find a number on phone but difficult to even stay in contact. We can block or erase people’s details in jiffy, a far cry from the past where connections, though fewer, held depth and meaning.

Be Your Own Original
Someone who we feel inspired from has a profound story behind, own struggle and a sheer of luck. We must understand that what person is today is based on his/ her own experiences and chosen path. Taking inspiration from them helps stay determined, listening to their stories widens horizons, deepens knowledge on human nature and glean valuable learnings from their struggles.
But, we should create perfect balance of Admiration and Imitation. Many a times we get enthralled by the glamour of someone who has a more prominent presence in the external world. And we start imitating in every possible manner. This is where we dilute our individuality and self awareness diminishes.
Each of us possess different personalities, attitudes, emotional quotients, analytic abilities …. Exchanging our genuine selves for someone else’s facade limits our ability to harness our full potential.
Admiring someone is good, being in emotional connect is wonderful but letting yourself free to an extent to which we tend to forget ownself is being foolish.

Sounds of Shore and Us
Sounds of shore
Charming and soothing
I bathe in warm hues of Orange
As the sun begins to set;
Just the two of us
Amidst the choir of nature
And Our silences speaking;
I can hear you whisper
As we soak in the romance
Watching the sunset together
Love is speaking its language;
The warmth of being by your side
Heart softly murmuring
Sipping champagne
And we have celebrated a piece of Life!

Acceptance of Diversity Of Life
Sipping a cup of tea, I had this thought…
When we are young and studying in school or college, we are so connected with our friends. We meet them every day, hang out, and exchange messages or phone calls in the evening. We celebrate every little thing, believing that these friendships are meant to last forever.
As we move out to make careers, the connection gradually diminishes. From days to weeks, and even to months or years, everyone’s life engrosses them in numerous aspects. A reunion, be it in a year or two, or perhaps many more, may seem like a faint possibility.
Does this mean we change as individuals? Have we forgotten the good times we shared, or have we failed to maintain the respect for the relationships we nurtured?
Everyone has their boundaries, and Life’s journey presents different challenges. While we cater to the endless offerings from life, we naturally align ourselves with our current situations. This doesn’t mean we’ve changed.
What we used to do yesterday may not be suitable for today. Not because we’re neglecting our relationships, but because we’re striving to hold onto the present day.
Respecting the new day means it’s okay not to have long conversations. Even if we’re heading towards the same destination, our paths, speeds, and perspectives may differ. If the deal was to be together, it still doesn’t mean we need to match our pace. Neither should one slow down nor the other speed up.
The emotion of being around is not dependent on how much time we spend talking. It should be heartfelt, even if it is limited.
Let’s refrain from passing judgments on relationships that once blossomed. We must realize that we are all on different voyages.
It’s fine if difficulties aren’t shared; it’s fine if happiness isn’t expressed. Love for one another doesn’t depend on the number of words spoken; it’s about how deeply we can feel for each other even in profound silences.
Accepting The Diverse Nature of Life and Being In Accordance with Same will Allow us to Stay Strong and Still Connected for The Sake of Love irrespective of Distances !

Truth & Openness
So many layers to unfold
Each layer being multifold;
Every time a new chapter opens
Some more Unveiling Real is captured;
That something seems to be distant
What I knew was Elusive..
In the Quest to find The Truth
I Opened several doors;
There I found Ray-
For It Lied in Openness!!

Shed A Tear
As The Day progressed to Dusk, Winded Up Work -All Checked and Finished; Before Bed felt Proud & I shed A Tear!
I Woke to A Bad Dream, It Carried throughout The Day; I Received A Surprised, Felt Loved & I Shed A Tear!
A Phone Rang ,A Moment Froze, & Heart Pounced; Heard A Voice in Years & I Shed A Tear!
Cleaned My Cupboard & Arranged Everything Well, Found A Lost Note that Mum had Shared; Weak in Emotion & I Shed A Tear!
In A Party we met, He narrated An Old Tale Quiet Hearty and Deep it Hit; I couldn’t See his Tear & I Shed A Tear!
Turning Back on Picture Album, I was Nostalgic and Relived days again; Felt Contended & I Shed A Tear!
Whenever You Experience A Roller Ride of Emotions, Shed A Tear! It Was Never Enough and Wouldn’t Be Ever But Shed A Tear to Keep It Forever!

Self Conviction
Our Life is Constantly Surrounded By People having Opinions about Us.
While growing up almost each on of us would have faced and felt that our choices were driven by Societal Proclamations.
That is how it was been considered normal.
Owning decisions and standing on them was been found rare. But it’s time that we change how we would want to manage Ourselves.
Our Beliefs should be Strong, We Must take responsibility of our Acts and Actions.
Time Gone By has no comeback, Time Ahead can be Shaped On Our Belief and Self Conviction Today.
There shall be Discouragements, Failures, Hardships ; Let them Be, We Should Stand Firm and Walk Steady to Achieve Our Desired Goals.
There’s Just One YOU!!!

The new Epidemic – Fakeness
We are Unintentionally struggling An Epidemic – “FAKENESS”. – -Double standards, Hypocrisy and pleasures in Humiliation. This has been Prevailing for Years Now; Untreated and Unresolved.
False faces, Manipulative Brains, Uncompassionate Hearts and Programmed Words ; A Cosmetic Reality!
OBSERVE – How they Talk About You Behind YOU!!
Our Souls are been fed with mistrustful Relationships. The emotional quotient has started to loose its worth and value. No opportunities are Unturned to prove Our Righteousness on basis of Lies/ Denials / EGO / Humiliation..
Face Values cannot be relied on.
The competition to rise above another and, then expectations for everyone else to behave like One.
Human jealousies have been existing since centuries. This is OK to accept because the equation between what I want and What I have will never be proportionate. We have to accept this fact and improvise and compete with ourselves to progress better. We have abilities to be Mindful , Consciously aware – This is the beauty of being a Human and We should relish being One!
Each One is Different and Unique 👐
Every Individual has his Own Desires, Aspirations, Goals; We have to work only on our own targets and aim to be better every time than before. Learning from each mistake , getting up stronger each time we fail. Our focus should be concentrated on resolutions that we make for ourselves and NOT on the other person is growing better/ seeming happier. That person’s happiness quotient will be different than yours, why waste our energy in analysing him/her being successful instead of praising our achievements and retrospecting failures.
AND WE ARE FAILING TO DO SO, HENCE THE RAGE AND DESIRE TO DOWNGRADE SOMEONE AND RISE THE BAD WAY! We are Humans not bricks to build walls.
I see a Perfect Analogy of this behaviour with that of a Casino. We are treating each other as games, just playing around & enjoying the loudness of chaos, Dance floor of crushed dreams we keep stepping, and Uncounted number of turns that it takes to WIN.
WIN – The Prestige of being better than other
We are the most Intellectual species on Earth. And shamelessly are creating a mockery of this Intellect by only only Faking the Truth, Faking Relationships, Faking Lifestyles.
The Assertiveness required is being cut by the thought of I am Superior,
The Self Sufficiency is being overpowered by Faking Misery.
Why cannot we all be what WE ARE, find our own Happy Spaces, Find Peace in Humbleness, Be Sympathetic, Be Assertive.
The Spirit of ‘Snatch away the Target’ before its stolen has to subside.
Learn to Dance on Own Music. Let other’s enjoy their share of Sunshine. Grass is never greener on other side, it is a natural camouflage, Grow your garden rather.
Comparisons will always lead to jealousy and unfortunately we are failing over and over again to overcome it. We should take learnings from the Knowledgeable, share our experiences with a naive, lend a helping hand and NOT Humility, grab support with Gratitude and most of all “VALUE HUMAN BEINGS! “
EGO, Superiority Complex, Jealousy are the worst Enemies for Brain. They are our own thoughtfully created Viruses. Defeat the negativity and Rise above their Aura.
We need to Synergize our capabilities to disown them. Be Real, Be Truthful. Hell or heaven aren’t mapped on GPS they lie within us, we are answerable to Us. For peaceful night live a Splendid Day.. Have a GOOD LIFE !!!

Rakshabandhan – For One and For All!!
Rakshabandhan– A Festival of Hindus where Sisters tie sacred thread on wrists of their Brother/s; Thread of Prayers, Well wishes and Love sharing throughout the Lifetime.
This thread signifies the Bond that Siblings, Cousins share, a promise for being there for each other, a pact of keeping Safe from Evilish nuances of society.
While it is widely celebrated as a Brother-Sister day, why cannot we Extend it to Bro-Bro/ Sis-Sis Day too! God may have Blessed family with same gender siblings , why should they be Deprived of celebrations. Two Brothers can also vow for being a Staunch Support and Two Sisters can also be Strong Pillars to each other. And not just this, may be two people who aren’t family by birth but the chosen ones. And even If someone’s alone , then that person should Promise ownself of Self Love and Self Protection.
This Bond should not limit to a set relationship. We should step forward and Encourage our younger generations to look beyond the limitations, make them Understand Significance of this ritual, Guide them to nurture the Values , give them an Outlook -Unbiased of Gender.
A sense of responsibility should be lighted in the hearts; Morale Imparting on how to be always there for their Sibling, Vouluntary Kins, Well Wishers. Live a relationship with an Explicit promise of Love and Affection and keep the Ties of Bonds inseparable. They should learn the worthiness of being Blessed with a relation that’s been Bestowed by Almighty. This should be totally Gender Unbiased and Solely on Human Grounds.
Restrictions of Gender Inequality shall be mitigated only when we bring flexibility in our thought process.

Words that Long to be set Free ……..
The Hidden Emotional Gems in the Heart; Long await to shine their Spark.
I can speak no more, my words are my voice
The Loud Laughters, Silent Sobs,
Here will speak – My Words All Out.
I wanna set them Free from Trammels of Constraints; For Words can only Explain.
They belong to me. They are for You;
For Words lie Unfettered from Each of being.
I can’t Fathom the Shyness I had; For Words aren’t meant to Tether.
The deep Swarms of Sentiments,
Look Beyond the Skies; For words are Unbound that are waiting to Intensify.
I will put them across with Fervor; For words need those strong Wings.
Stay with Me, Hold On to till Eternity,
For words will speak, that I can never Evince.

Thoughts worth Contemplating
