The Beach-Sunset Love Story

Beneath the cerulean sky, where waves kiss the shore
The beach unfurls its sandy canvas, inviting us to explore
Footprints merge with saltwater, a dance of fleeting grace
As the sun, a golden orb, begins its slow descent in space

The Beach, a sanctuary of whispers – seashells and secrets
Where tides inscribe tales upon the sands, both ancient and recent
Children build castles, dreams woven in grains of time
And lovers trace promises, their hearts in rhythm with the rhyme

The sun, weary from its day’s fiery flight
Dips below the horizon, igniting the sky with hues so bright
Amber, coral and lavender blend in a celestial ballet
As if the heavens themselves are bidding the day adieu, they say

Seagulls become silhouettes, wings etched against the blaze
And the ocean mirrors the sky, a liquid mirror ablaze
The world holds its breath, caught in this transient spell
As if eternity pauses, allowing us to witness beauty’s farewell

So we stand on the shore, barefoot and humbled
Our souls sipping from the cup of twilight, hearts untumbled
The beach and sunset – a sacred communion of elements
Where time dissolves
And we become part of the firmament

Rise and shine.

Colours of Life

In the grand gallery of existence
Life unfurls its canvas, bold and bright
Each hue, a whisper of emotion
Each shade, a chapter in our story

Crimson passion pulses through our veins
Love’s fiery dance against the night
Hearts aflame
We write our sonnets, in scarlet ink
Our desires take flight

Golden sun-kissed moments, warm and rare
Laughter echoing like golden chimes
We chase sunsets, gather memories
Our pockets heavy with sunflower dreams

Emerald is nature’s palette, lush and green
Leaves rustling secrets to the wind
Forests breathe, and so do we
Inhaling life’s chlorophyll-scented magic

Blush petals unfurl, delicate and shy
Blossoms blushing under morning dew
Fragile courage, tender beginnings
Love’s first kiss, a blush shared by two

Rainbows bridge the storms with hope
Each color a promise after rain
Joy arcs across gray skies
Reminding us that beauty follows pain

Our souls like palettes mix pigments freely
Splattering joy, sorrow and wonder
We paint our days with bold strokes
Creating art from life’s raw canvas

So let us be artists
Dipping our brushes into existence
For in the colors of life, we find purpose
And weave our own masterpiece of resilience

Rise and shine.

Vitamin Sea

The boundless beauty of the ocean

The gentle lapping of waves against the shore

The warmth of the sun on the skin

The rhythmic sound of the sea

The squawk of the seagulls

The sea, the shore, the serenity

The transformative power to seek embrace of

The magic that enables to rejuvenate the body

The power that refreshes the mind

The dip down the waters to lift the soul

The Vitamin sea that restores inner peace

A trip down the beach; a cure, a remedy, a heal

Rise and shine.

Beauty in Simplicity

That is a very profound and inspiring statement. I believe that simplicity and honesty are important values for a happy life. They can help us avoid unnecessary complications and conflicts, and focus on what truly matters to us. Simplicity and honesty can also make us more grateful and appreciative of what we have, and less envious or greedy for what we don’t.

What is beauty? Is it the dazzling colours of a rainbow, the intricate patterns of a snowflake or the symmetrical shapes of a flower? Or is it something more subtle, more hidden, more simple?

Beauty is often associated with complexity, richness and extravagance. We admire the elaborate designs of a cathedral, the intricate details of a painting or the lavish decorations of a palace. We are drawn to the flashy, the glamorous and the extravagant. We seek to impress others with our possessions, our achievements and our appearance.

But is this the true essence of beauty? Does beauty require complexity, richness and extravagance? Or can beauty be found in simplicity, in the ordinary, in the natural?

Simplicity is the art of finding beauty in the ordinary. It is the ability to appreciate the essence of things, without being distracted by the superficial. It is the skill of focusing on the essential, without being overwhelmed by the unnecessary. It is the wisdom of knowing what matters, without being seduced by what does not.

Simplicity reveals beauty in many ways. Simplicity can be seen in the elegance of a mathematical equation, the clarity of a musical note or the purity of a water drop. Simplicity can be felt in the serenity of a meditation, the joy of a laughter or the warmth of a hug. Simplicity can be expressed in the honesty of a word, the kindness of a gesture or the gratitude of a smile.

Simplicity is not the absence of beauty but the enhancement of beauty. Simplicity is not the lack of complexity but the harmony of complexity. Simplicity is not the denial of richness but the richness of meaning. Simplicity is not the reduction of extravagance but the extravagance of value.

Simplicity is the ultimate form of beauty. It is the beauty that transcends the physical, the emotional and the intellectual. It is the beauty that connects the individual, the collective and the universal. It is the beauty that inspires the mind, the heart and the soul.

Simplicity is the beauty in simplicity. It is the true essence of happiness.

Radiance of Life

Life is a radiant gift, shining with every breath we take. Radiance is the essence of life, the spark that ignites our souls. It is the light that guides us through the darkness, the warmth that fills our hearts.

The radiance of life is in the simple joys, the moments of wonder, the smiles of gratitude. It is in the beauty of nature, the grace of art, the melody of music. Life radiates with infinite possibilities, each one a chance to grow and learn. It is up to us to embrace them and make the most of them.

Radiance is not something we have, but something we are. It is our true nature, our inner glow. It is what makes us unique and special. It is in the courage to face our challenges, the wisdom to learn from our mistakes, the compassion to help others in need.

Radiance is the joy of living, the laughter that brightens our days, the love that fills our lives. It is the peace that calms our minds, the hope that lifts our spirits, the faith that sustains us. It is in the diversity of people, the richness of cultures, the harmony of coexistence. It is in the respect for differences, the appreciation for similarities, the celebration of uniqueness.

Life radiates with creativity, each one a expression of our passions. It is up to us to discover them and share them with the world. Radiance is not something we seek, but something we create. It is our choice, our attitude, our action. It is what makes us shine and inspire others.

Rise and shine.

Ganesh Chaturthi 2023

Ganesha, Ganu Bappa or Ganapati Bappa.

Bal Ganesh, Siddhivinayak, Vignaharta or Maharaj

He is the one who has many names but is the only one.

Who is the mentor, the protector

The remover of obstacles, the enricher of our life.

Parvatiputra, Shivasuta, Gajanan, Ganaraya; where the list stays endless

Of the one who is our guide and defender.

Who is the source of energy, spirit and happiness

The constant source of power and strength.

He is Ekadanta, Lambodara, Chaturbhuj

Who is the symbol of wisdom, devotion, inspiration

And also the bestower of grace and good fortune.

He is Mangalmurti, he is Pitambara

For whom duty is above all else

Forgiveness is the ultimate virtue

And self-respect is of utmost significance.

We name Him Tarun, Varapada and Bhalchandra

For He enlightens, awakens and navigates us

For the paths to follow, the world to face and the challenges to look towards.

But even when the future is unpredictable

We believe something for sure

That Lord Ganesha will keep blessing us

By knocking our doors year after year.

Hence for this day this year and this day every year

Let’s chant “Ganapati Bappa Morya”

And welcome the God of the gods with full pomp, fervour and devotion.

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to one and all.

Rise and shine.

The Pain Perspective

What is Pain? What does pain really mean? Is it a feeling, a sensation, a signal or a foe? Is it something that we can see, touch or glean?

Pain, to me, sounds like a mystery that we try to solve, but how do we measure it or define it? Is it subjective, objective, relative or absolute? Is it something that we can compare, rate or limit?

Pain is a challenge that we try to overcome, may be, by how we cope with it or manage it. And still the real mystery lies in whether this pain is physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. And then the real challenge comes up as to how we can heal, control or accept this pain.

Pain is a teacher that we try to learn from. It is like a lesson, a warning, a reminder and many times a gift. It is something that we can grow from, avoid and yet totally trust.

Pain is a part of life that we try to embrace. We live with it and try to make sense out of it. It may be a curse, a burden, a test or a grace, but it is definitely something that we can hate, love, ignore and sometimes appreciate.

Rise and shine.

My Kind of Morning

My kind of morning; yes, this is my kind of morning.

When I wake up with a kiss on my forehead.

When I hear the sound of birds chirping.

When there is this earthy-woody fragrance tickling my nose.

When the sunrise is something to witness.

When the rays of the sun fall on the floor of my room through the window.

When my blanket is a tad bit cozy and I hate to say goodbye to my bed.

When the smell of coffee rejuvenates my soul.

When the colourful parrots on the tree bid Good Morning to my coffee mug and embrace the mist coming out of fresh hot coffee.

When I go for a run in the park,

feel the fresh air in my lungs,

enjoy the beauty of nature

and see all the happy faces around.

When I’m home to a good book by my side,

a cozy couch to sit on

and a sight of nature I could never miss.

When a small walk through my front yard and backyard brings me joy.

When all the flowers and herbs feel like meditation and the touch of grass to my feet feels like yoga.

When the knock of this new morning truly aligns my mind, body and spirit.

Yes, this is my kind of morning.

Rise and shine.

The Trail

I followed the trail to the end
Where a lake was shining blue
I saw a sight that made me bend
A rainbow in full view

I felt a joy that filled my heart
A wonder that was rare
I knew that this was just the start
Of something beyond compare

The trail had shown me many things
The beauty and the strife
The challenges and the blessings
That come with hiking life

The trail had given me a gift
A new perspective to see
The world as a place to uplift
And not to disagree

The trail had taught me how to be
A better version of me

Rise and shine.

Happy Independence Day, India!

We celebrate this day with joy and pride
The day when we became a free nation
The day when we raised our flag high and wide
The day when we sang our anthem with passion

We remember this day with gratitude and respect
The day when we paid tribute to our martyrs
The day when we honoured our heroes with wreaths
The day when we saluted our soldiers

We cherish this day with hope and faith
The day when we embraced our diversity
The day when we pledged to uphold our values
The day when we joined hands for unity

Happy Independence Day, India!
You are our pride and glory!

Rise and shine.

Trust, The Glue of Life

Trust is something that is a choice, not a gift. It has to be earned and not demanded or asked for. It is like a bridge that needs time and effort to build, but only a moment to destroy. Trust once broken is hard to repair.

Trust blossoms like a flower that needs care and attention. If not appropriately looked after, it withers and dies. Trust is fragile and pleasant but vulnerable and delicate at the same time. It’s like what we call, “handle with care.”

Trust is a mirror that reflects who you are and what you can be. However, once this mirror shatters, once it is broken; you won’t see the same image again, nothing can be the same again; once trust is broken. So beware, be very careful.

One can call trust a puzzle made of many pieces; pieces of hope, belief, care; but once these pieces are scattered, it’s hard to put them together and so goes with trust.

Trust is a glue that keeps our life together. It is the song of life that can inspire you in many different ways. It is powerful, meaningful and full of certainties till the time it is kept safe and out of risk of breaking.

Rise and shine.

Letting Go – Part 2

In the earlier post, I tried to convey the “letting go” skill and how it benefits us mentally. But the real fact is how do we let go? There is no one right way, but I have tried to pen down a few steps that may help letting go:

  • Acknowledge what you are holding on to and why. Be honest and compassionate with yourself.
  • Express your feelings and thoughts. Write them down, talk to someone, or find a creative outlet.
  • Forgive yourself and others. Release any resentment, guilt, or blame that you may be holding on to.
  • Make a decision to let go. Commit to moving forward and creating a new reality for yourself.
  • Take action. Do something that symbolizes your letting go, such as deleting a contact, throwing away an object, or saying goodbye.
  • Focus on the present. Practice mindfulness and gratitude for what you have and what you can do right now. Meditate, exercise, feel healthy, feel free.
  • Trust the process. Believe that everything happens for a reason and that something better is waiting for you.

Letting go is not a one-time event, but a continuous practice. We may have to let go of different things at different stages of our lives. We may have to let go multiple times of the same thing until we are truly free. We may face challenges and setbacks along the way.

But remember that letting go is not giving up or losing something. It is gaining something else: peace, freedom, wisdom, and happiness. Letting go is an act of love for ourselves and others. Letting go is a way of living fully and authentically.

Rise and shine.

Letting Go – Part 1

Letting go is one of the most difficult but rewarding skills to master in life. It means to release our attachment to things, people, situations, or emotions that no longer serve us or make us happy. It means to accept the reality and move on with gratitude and grace.

Letting go is not easy because we often have invested a lot of time, energy, and emotion into something or someone. We may feel attached to a certain outcome, expectation, or identity. We may fear losing something valuable, facing uncertainty, or being alone. We may resist change and cling to the familiar and comfortable.

However, holding on to something that is not meant for us can cause us more pain, stress, and suffering. It can prevent us from growing, learning, and experiencing new opportunities. It can keep us stuck in the past or the future, instead of living in the present. It can drain our energy and rob us of our joy.

Therefore, letting go is a gift we can give to ourselves. It can free us from the burden of the past and the anxiety or fear of the future. It can open us to new possibilities and perspectives. It can allow us to embrace change and uncertainty with courage and curiosity. It can help us heal, grow, and transform.

The Sunset Poetry

As the sun begins it’s journey to the western sky

It leaves a canvas of crimson and gold

Painting the clouds with fiery strokes

Making a masterpiece of shade and light

Singing a song of grace and glory

Slowly hiding itself behind the magic story

The one that moon tells the stars

There is so much to behold and sight

Yet it’s sad how the magic moment fights

To fade away behind the shining dark night

But it’s a promise from the sun and the stars and the moon and the light

That darkness is no worth and the world shall soon see the sun again coming forth

Rise and shine.

Hello August!

August is when the summer begins

When the days are long and hot

When the sun shines a tad bit more

And the flowers are in full bloom

August is when the sunny side’s up

It’s the time to travel and explore

The time to relax and have fun

The time to make memories

August is when the festivals kickstart

When the celebrations get going

It’s the time to enjoy, laugh and share joy

August brings days of magic

The days that mark a new season

The days to look forward and climb up the ladder of dreams

The days to embrace life and the path you’ve chosen

Rise and shine.

The Autumn Finale

I see the beauty that autumn brings

And I also witness the charm when it leaves

Every colour to cheer, every moment to reflect

Time to slow down, time for a change

Time to bid farewell to the colours

Time to be grateful for all the little rainbows down the streets

It’s a goodbye to the season of colours

When birds fly north to look out for summer

When sweaters, scarves and boots are no more worn

When squirrels favour to wander up and down the trees

Yes, it is the time to see you off, autumn

To be blessed with more of the sun’s glory

And lessen the moonlight story

Make way for the pumpkins, apples and mangoes

Have a sight of leaves polished so green

Clear paths for Christmas rejoice

Turn the pines into huge lit up cones

And get ready for the stars to be gazed

Yes, it’s the autumn end game

And the beginning of the days of celebrations to tame

Rise and shine.

City Lights, Shine Bright

City lights, the jewels of darkness

They lay your eyes lost by their beauty

They are the spotlight of the night

City lights are an illusion from the dark side of the world

They are the sparkling stars on earth

They are the beacon of endless sights

They are a long journey without destination

City lights breathe through the night’s ambience

They stand with heads high in a city of thousands of people

They are the glory that illuminates numerous lives and dreams

City lights make you feel alive

They are your guardians guiding you home

They are something to never let go

They begin with your journey and end at your destination

City lights, you make me happy

You take away all the negative vibes

You end the chaos of the dark

You make my heart burn for you when it’s time for dawn

Be Your Own Light

My father always says, “Spread your own light and illuminate the world with that glow.” Being a child, I never understood what he meant by saying this. However; while growing up, these words felt so meaningful, like your life in a nutshell.

So, what’s light? I think it’s the rise after that startling fall, and how you shine bright after that rise. The depth of it might also be the divinity you feel within with that light of your own. Light is also to show the path of wisdom to those wandering souls who are in search of some meaning to their life.

Moreover; what I have realised in all these years of my life is that one should love one’s self so much so that you become worthy of spreading more and more love in this world. Self-love is equally important to loving others out of that light you possess within.

But for all this, you should value that darkness in your life, which helped you understand the true worth of light. Try seeing through that darkness, don’t be scared to take that bold step. To put this together, be the mirror to reflect your own light to enlighten the lost and troubled.

Keep searching that light of yours, never stop. You’ll surely find it; and once you find it, let it shine bright.

Rise and shine.

Hopeless or Hopeful?

Life is unpredictable. We may not have a comfortable life. We may not even find satisfaction in what we have in life, and may owe so much back to life. Yet, we never fail to live it at the best of our abilities. We find solace in hope and expectations to desire a bit more than what we already have or deserve to get. That’s the true face of life, the bitter-sweet truth. But then that is what we call optimism; to see light in the dark, to see the silver lining in the clouds, to find hope in despair.

Hope comes in different colours, beautiful ones, trust me on that. However, the one thing that I have realized in all these years is that we can always take the opportunity to give this hope to our life, just like how a newborn becomes a part of our life. But again, don’t forget to put up efforts in fulfilling what you’ve hoped for. And then see the magic, experience the miracle happening. Life will bless you,with double the hope that you gave it, with million dollar smiles and many more reasons to continue living it with confidence and positivity.

In my opinion, I would opt for optimism rather than expectations. A positive and confident approach towards life will definitely, undoubtedly help you face the obstacles and challenges coming your way towards success and peace. Money cannot buy everything and success can mean many things. Money isn’t the answer for every problem; however, it might help you moving towards that answer; but optimism, confidence, grit and passion will surely help you resolve that problem.

Long story short, stay hopeful because hopeless minds don’t have control over anything. Hope is one thing that will help us get through the darkest of times.

Rise and shine.

THE GREEN GATE

The Green Gate

This is the green gate; yes, this is that green gate

It has seen the sun, the winds and also witnessed those long waits

It has seen the beginning and the journey after that beginning, the hope, the grit

It has felt the throbbing heart craving for someone’s arrival, the desire of a reunion

Yes, it is that green gate that has chosen to glimpse the strive

It has noticed those long hours of talks, realized the pain of long distance

It has seen people walking on the roadside from the outside, and has also seen a mind’s standstill from the inside

It has seen the leaves change colours, has also seen those leaves falling

Yes, it is the same green gate who is all set to welcome spring

It has finally audienced the homecoming, the converge of love and hope

It is now ready to witness the new chapter of life, to be a spectator of old love flourish into new fondness

Yes, this is the green gate of my house
