..because it's not over yet!

  Life has it's own ways of testing people. And it throws at you only as much as you can take ! At the outset what might seem as an impossible task to handle, sooner then you know, becomes just as adaptable as one's own skin.  And it absolutely must! We are here for just a little while, the 'while' actually is different for each one of us; some come with a tight schedule! They come, do their assigned tasks so efficiently and swiftly, touch a million hearts in ways even they don't know; and then there are those who have a stretched out timeline and continue making memories and living through experiences. Each one of them are actually souls we have been meeting in different roles in the previous lifetimes, and we keep bumping into them through these lifetimes too since there's still something left...something to learn, something to teach, something to learn, some gives and takes, some laughters and memories, some re-livings of the past times, some smiles to exchan...

YOU ONLY LIVE ON CE (YOLO)! These self isolation times have actually brought about a lot of time for us to introspect and to actually know what lies within us! It has brought about the realization that the whole world is inside us : in our perspectives and in our heart! That to be able to find peace, we must be at peace with ourselves first ; and to truly enjoy life, we must enjoy who we are, and once we learn how to master this, we will be protected from everything that makes us feel like we cannot go on.  And with this gift of recognizing ourselves, even when we are alone, we'll never be lonely!! We only get one life to live and one day at a time to make that life worth it! It's a one take shot! No repeats, no retakes, no rewinds, just one moment at a time! And it absolutely depends on us of what we make of it. We always have choices available and it's our choices that determine US.  Let's follow Ralph Waldo Emerson and liv...

WE NOT ME!

Image
WE NOT ME! The current times have taught us so much in ways more than one! It is in unison that we should work and not in isolation. For us to come out of this, it's fighting together that holds the key. This is what I may call THE RISE OF THE COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS! ~~🌍 Let’s go through an amazing eye opening story here! An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that whoever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each other's hands together and ran, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself, they said: " UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?" UBUNTU in the Xhosa culture means, "I am because we are". Now isn’t this one of the most amazing lessons that this tribe has taught us! When kids can b...

MAA

MAA - A WORD THAT SUMS UP THE UNIVERSE!! It's all a myth that we believe that its US who are so strong, hopeful and resilient, while in reality it's a mother's blessings which are poured upon us and that is what makes us what we are! Your mother is always with you!! She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell of certain foods that you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well, she's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day. She's the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colours of a rainbow, she is a Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your laughter. She's the place you came from, your first home, and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space... not even deat...

Day 2: The once-in-a-lifetime experience that it is -Leh Ladakh!!

Image
And the morning sun shone bright into our rooms invitingly. Since its on the heights, the mornings are pretty early in this part of the country. After having a hearty breakfast, we headed to the very famous "Hemis Monastery " across the rivers, barren mountains, white sand plains spreading out to infinity. The Hemis Monastery is the largest monastic institution in Ladakh. It was a huge square shaped area comprising of two temples and a museum. The architecture bore the the minute writings and paintings dominated by red,white,blue, and green color. While the temples has deities symbolizing the Hindu gods and goddesses, their names and appearances were very interesting and equally intriguing! There was a priest reciting their holy scripture continuously in a microphone; his voice and chants resounded the whole monastery giving it a pious feeling. One of the most interesting things I found there was that In...

THE ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME-EXPERIENCE THAT IT IS- LEH LADAKH!

Image
                    T HE ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME-EXPERIENCE THAT IT IS- LEH LADAKH! Truly known as 'The roof of the world',  Leh Ladakh are not just places you visit, but an experience that you go through.  A trip that I was reluctant to go to as I preferred exploring the south of India- Kerala and the backwaters to be precise, I totally feel pride in my decision of having experienced the serenity, gasps of amazement and an absolutely out-of-the-world encounter. The state boasts of its wide open blue skies with snowy clouds, rocks and hills that are thousands of years old but speak their own stories-each mountain speaks a different story! you see hills of all colors, as if breaking the barriers and borders of religion, caste, and nationality- blue, green,brown,black,pale yellow, turquoise, grey,white,ET.AL. Very interestingly, amidst these mountains, there ...
