Life without love- is just like a tree with no blossoms or fruits on it. It can be a best friend, a friend or any relationship that you can love from your heart.Many times  you don't fall in love with a  person but  for their presence,  for their genuineness,  their efforts, the moments you have spent with them. For how they  laugh at small and silly things and also how they make you laugh. How they are there by our side. That is the the kind of a  person who will not give up on you, no matter how messed up you are. And eventually these are the  kind of humans who  make you fall in love with yourselves when you are with them. Never let these kind of people go ❤️

The most amazing days of our life when there was no responsibility of real world but a huge tension of completing homework in a given period of time. The days when teachers 'n principal were considered as greatest enemies of our life. Excitement of reopening of schools,new books new bags,new bottle,meeting with new classmates.excitement for picnic,taking part in annual gathering,plays,sports. We used to fight for silly things with our friends. Our fights were either for the window seat in the bus or for stationary items like pencil or sharpener. But such disputes hardly remain for long time 'n then we again used to become good friends. Recess which was our favorite time period in school always seemed to be very small. The guy/gal with the tastiest food would be the most pampered one, but only till his/her Tiffin is not completely finished... The days when Superman, Batman, Spiderman,donald duck,flintstone,mini mickey,mogli, 'n all such characters were our heroes 'n role...

  Woman actually doesn’t need a room of her own but she does need an hour of her own. An hour during which she steps outside of her roles so she can remember her soul. An hour in which she’s serving nobody but her own potential. An hour during which she’s putting work boots on her dreams.” – Glennon Doyle Melton I certainly have  wondered many times as to what I might be missing in my  life? Have you also ever wondered if  you are missing out on anything at all? Yes, there was a time in when I felt lost, alone and also misunderstood.  I had no idea what was happening. I started to feel  that I had no true friends . To add to it I had a strong feeling that nobody actually  got me or had time and space for me in any constructive or a very meaningful way. All this made me feel as if I was not only  stressed  but also depressed and feeling as if I was living at the bottom of a deep dark dungeon. I had a little realisation at the time t...

  We are not defined by our mistakes.  The weight , the degrees, the grades also do not define us . People who leave us alone,  also do not define us. What defines us then ? The things that we say when we are sad, frustrated or angry- actually define us. The list that carries the name of your favorite book, favorite show / or favorite song , not only define you but go a long way in making you an incredible person.   The way you speak to others, how you treat them, the support you render, these all things actually define you. Despite your circumstances that you are going through or the hard times that make you feel broken, when  you always-  always, pick those broken  pieces back and put them together to walk up again. Atleast you were there for yourself.  You took care of yourself. The bad days do not define you, it is what follows afterwards that makes you who you are - the fighting, the holding on, the forgiveness. You are defined by the things ...

Spirituality,  is a wide concept with a room to grow, all the times. In general, it is seeking truth, inner journey to connect with self. It is a deep exploration that leads us to emancipation. Howsoever, we may define- Spirituality, it is not only a feeling but a beautiful feeling that touches us all somewhere. Spirituality, is a feeling unique to an individual in their own way. Some might link it to a religious place, others may consider it as their  personal relationship with Almighty or a power that exists at a higher level than human mind. Nature or art is another way to connect to the same. Hence, it is a felling unique to everyone on their own. Spirituality is not an academic process but an experience,  ur own story that u have lived in flesh and bones,  have felt and has touched your own heart

 Fear , is what stops many of us from leading the life that was  truly created to live. Fear - paralyses many people. Fear - stops PROGRESSION. Fear -  leaves one feeling debilitated. Fear - reduces many into tears. It causes the minds to go wild. It makes us  think of and imagine things that we are actually brave enough to hang on , as soon as we  discover that they are not based on  truth. Though we might fear many things,  but usually at the core there are few that I have found to really control our actions. It’s the fear of… 1.Failure 2. Being poor  3. Not being good enough  4. Unacceptable. 5. Looking stupid. 6. Losing the love of the ones we hold dear 7. And a coomon one , the big one. The fear of being judged by others and  what others mighg  think of you.  This is a real BIG one and many people are frozen by thought of this and NEVER take action. I relate to  this because this  was me. I had a fear of  al...

  Love  transforms and that is why can be painful. Transformation can be painful  as it is shifting from old to new, which is unfamiliar, insecure and absolutely unknown. It is like moving into an uncharted ocean. The old is familiar and the mind is skillfully trained to it. In order to move from a known to unknown zone , the pain arises as we leave the comfort and safety behind. It is very similarl to the pain experienced by a new born when he leaves the safe womb of his mother and steps into a complete new world. It is the same pain that a newly hatched bird experiences when coming out of an egg. It is the same pain that a little bird feels/ experiences when tries to fly on its own wings. Fear of an unknown , insecurity of an unknown, unpredictability of an unknown makes one scared as against the safety of a known, security of a known zone. However transformation from self to a selfless state, has a deep agony attached to it. One can't experience the ecstatic feeling un...

  I read many inspirational articles, quotes amd sayings on a daily basis , as i had read that we need them on  a daily basis to cleanse our mind as we need to bathe daily to clean the body. So reading some quotes of Dalai Lama, i thought of sharing these with you all today. Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them. Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck. Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive. My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness. Sleep is the best meditation. If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be...

Today’s thoughts .....  Love, even if  given as small gestures but purely from our inner selves is truly beautiful.   Forsaking our egos and working purely as the inner me ,  gentle footprints are left in the world when act is done  with pure love. And these footprints  lead others along the same path, lightning a lamp with another lamp until the path is so well lit that  it leaves  no trace of you but the imprint of countless others that have followed your path. The journey to find your inner self  takes place in a myriad of ways, some even unconsciously or subconsciously. When i look back at  my journey of self awareness , I realize that I had no idea  of this development in the beginning.....it just  started simply.  Walking through the  beech woods behind my home in North Carolina ,  I would reach the point  where these magnificent trees were an arms length apart and one would  hear ......nothi...

Who can turn around your day with a kind word or a smile? At my local coffee shop, there is a barista who always makes my day. She greets me with a big smile, always has a compliment at the ready and is sincerely interested in my life. I love getting coffee from her. If I am having a crap time, she makes it a bit brighter. She does this for all of her customers. She knows their names, their orders, and their lives. My barista is a shiny beacon of positivity and joy. There is push-pull effect in all communication. The way you communicate can pull people toward you like a magnet or repel people away like a deadly scorpion hiding in the rug.  I think, We all as a part of extended family of friends   can be a little more interactive. And be courteous to at least respond to the Good Morning or Birthday Wishes so that we can break the ice between different members that we do not know on social media  After all, that is why we all are here, to know each other and create mor...

When i woke up this  morning ,  the first thought that i had on my mind was to be in gratitude for this day and let go of things that are not in my control. Also let go off  these things with an understanding that whatever is happening or will happen,,, the plan is already in the pipline and to my advantage.  🤔 Instead of blaming anyone , i need to learn to take the responsibility and all that  would happen ... i need to learn  accept   others , no matter what their beliefs or opinions are . 🤯  Bad times come and go. Like clockwork. The people we love are forever, and I think what we all need right now is love and acceptance for everyone. 😔  It’s okay to like ☺️ befriend and hangout with people who believe differently than we do. No matter how this turns out, our only hope to move forward productively is to accept and respect others. 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏿‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️ Reach out to your friends and family today. Both sides must be feeling th...

  Power of Now tells us  that every minute we spend worrying about the future or regretting the past is a minute lost.  Reality that we have is  to live in the present, now , and this is what gives us  actionable strategies to start living every minute as it occurs. Life has always known our  exact  needs, and what we are ready for, and also the moment when we are prepared to receive it. We generally are so busy looking behind or ahead, we miss the flow of life passing right before our eyes.  Fear, anxiety, guilt or anger fog our vision and cause us to miss the point, the lesson, the blessing and all the possibilities which are available in the present moment. Let us remember that right now is a blessing. That is the power of " Now".

  The mistakes that we make do not define us. Even  your weight does not define you. The grades, degrees or the people who leave you, none of these define you. However the things that you say when you are sad, angry or frustrated- define you.  Your favourite show, your favourite song or/and your favourite book, yes these define you and make you an incredible person. The support, the kind words you speak to other people define you.  What defines you is the fact that, irrespective of how much you feel broken, you always-  always, pick the pieces back and put them together to walk up again. Atleast you were there for yourself. You took care of yourself. The bad days do not define you, it is what follows afterwards that makes you who you are - the fighting, the holding on, the forgiveness. You are defined by the things that make your eyes sparkle with joy and the things that make your heart fight stronger. The high spirits, grace maintained during bad times, these a...

The need  of time is to send thoughts of peace and power to the universe .  The thoughts travel, moving at a great speed and with considerable impact. Allow the thought of peace sit in your mind, as we know that the vibes from the thoughts  radiate out and touch any person, any place ...😊 When surrounded  with positive vibes, there is  a powerful effect on all aspects of life. Good vibe thoughts  help us harness the positive energy and makes us  feel happy and radiant from the inside out. When we  feel low and  don't  feel like doing anything, the positive thoughts help us   seeing life in an optimistic and positive way. And this vision  helps us  achieve success ? The most important thing to reach our goals is to keep always a positive mind so that we can work with all we have to achieve the dreams and projects that we are following.

  Happiness is one thing that all parents want for their children.  Busy in their life, sometimes parents just  tend to forget that  the most important thing  needed to be provided to children  is LOVE. Children who experience parental warmth in childhood,  flourish as more  happy, self-accepting , more social loving relationship oriented , and also  more likely to contribute to the community. Through relationships, children learn how to think, understand, communicate, behave, express emotions and develop social skills. Loving, stable and responsive relationships are fundamental to the child’s development. Playing  of parents with child strengthens  the relationship and encourages  the child to explore, observe, experiment and solve problems.. By building a warm, positive and responsive relationship with your child now,  you’re helping shape the adult your child will become  and giving your child a strong foundatio...

Everything that appears negative on the surface actually has some good underlying it. If we realize that it is all good hiding in the negative situation,  we can transform the same from a disadvantage to an advantage for us. Putting a label of bad on the situations, generally keeps the good hiding under them away because of the negative energy that we feed by  labelling it. There is no such thing as bad in this universe; it is just the inability to see things clearly from an expanded or higher perspective. We obtain peace only when we learn that it  comes from knowing that good is all that exists on this planet.  We attract to ourselves what we hold inside. Every circumstance,every person, and every situation that we attract and experience is based on what is inside of us. Could you ask for a more magnificent system than this? This life is a reflection of what we hold inside us, and what we  hold inside us is always under our own control. We don't see  thin...

There was a comment on one of the  posts, where someone said ,  why do  people give  hope, as nothing will matter in the end. We all will die eventually. That triggered me to  think , how empty this person must be feeling and that how  much this person has missed in this life.  Do you really think that  we were only born with a purpose to die? Or that death is the only purpose of coming to life. Is this just a waiting room , where we are waiting for the end.  Absolutely  not. Does a movie start with the purpose -  just to finish? A Song, do  you think that  a song begins with a mere purpose  to end? Not at all,  we  watch a movie to laugh, eat popcorns,  learn,  breathe, be happy and be together. We might feel  heartbroken but we also  listen to the music to sing to it. We jump as we  feel the positive things, moments expressed in it and we dance to ourselves. We allow our soul to be...
