2012! A year of transformations!

A turtle peeking out from its shell. Slowly and steadily. New realizations and new awarenesses touching my soul. Experienced new places, cultures and perspectives. Thinking outside the box. Learned to let go just a little. Able to open up my palm with some ease. Nature, a blissful experience. Emptying out my closets.

Effective communication a key to any and every relationship. Speaking from the heart. Truth hurts a lot. Seeing myself in the mirror differently. Embracing my shadows - easier said than done. Avoidance keeps you rooted in the same spot. Consistency takes effort.

It is not always about you. Putting yourself in the other person’s shoes.Try and than try again. Choice empowers! Acceptance comes after going through many stages. The difference between I want to verses I have to.

Love does soften hearts. You can only control your own happiness. Be still and hear the silence. Time and again I am grateful. Dream and some more. Faith is the pillar that you build upon. The sun always rises up. Seek and you shall find. Light at the end of the tunnel. A unique spark that shines. Now is all that you have. Dear God, thank you!

White!
Is slowly falling down from the heavens above
Feeling as soft as a newborn’s skin
Looking as glittery as flakes of gold
Falling steadily hour by hour
Covering the earth under its blanket!

White!
It is everywhere around me
On top of the rooftops to the asphalt under my feet
On each branch of the tree to the individual leaf
It tickles my nose and makes me smile in glee!

White!
Seems to slow everyone around it
From the cars crawling on the streets
To the families enjoying the coziness on the couches
The warm cups of hot chocolates in the hands
And the smiling snowman’s off the porches!

White!
Melts in an instant against the palm of my hand
And stays frozen for days on the ground
White!
Is slowly falling down from the heavens above
Covering the earth under its blanket!

And so it has been revealed

That the Raizada parivar has managed to enchant

The young Ms. Aarti and her mother

Because it seems that

Small specks of rainbow lights

Seem to be glowing all around them

From the smiles on their faces

To the sighs on their lips

The modelling of the clothes

The wonder in the eyes

The feeling of warmth

The happiness in the hearts

The small visions of dreams

All filled with hopes!

(Fan Fiction: Arnav & Khushi)

The view from the edge,
You liked it you said!
You are where you are suppose to be my dear child,
God lovingly said! 
It just seems that the doors are not opening
But trust me, you are going where you are needed to be!
So take a moment, take a deep breath and ponder
You have everything that you need though you might wonder!
It is a journey with twists and turns
Sometimes you fly low and sometimes you soar!
The answers that you seek are all within,
Open your heart and feel the magic begin!

He was a pocket full of sunshine

She was a flower bud who had slowly withered away over time

He came in with his sun rays shining wide

She blocked her eyes saying it was too bright

He brought along with him the clouds, the winds, the love birds and the skies

She tried to hide under the sorrows of grief, loneliness and fears

He promised her a life full of rainbows

She remembered her past full of sorrows

Little by little she started getting coaxed 

The clouds bringing the soft and fluffy warmth

The winds gently caressing their love over her face

The love birds showering her hope and dreams

The skies with their arms open wide

A little blush on her cheek

A fast beating of her heartbeat

A small smile on her face

A desire inkling in her heart

A drop of hope into the vastness of darkness

A promise of a new tomorrow!

You enter through the main doors and are and welcomed with the concept of space

The sleek reception desk on left the side

The enchanting stairs that go towards the second floor

The compulsion that draws you towards Ganesha

The sun rays blessing you through the sky light

The red sofas which draw you attention to them

Reminding you of the passion within you

The marvellous discussion room with dark hardwood and yellow aura on the outside

A perfect metaphor to being grounded and possessing your will and personal power

And coming along to the main area of the office

Your cabin!

What can I say about your cabin

The cream leather chair

The marble desktop in a blend of whites

Peace and perfection

The ship in the background conveys your journey through highs and lows

The squares and rectangles on the wall

Concepts in a box while being outside the box.

I love it!

The power that is within you,
The choice that it bestows upon u,
The freedom that you experience,
The wings that make you soar,
The journey that life takes you on,
The path that is completely yours
The contentment that you feel,
Yours and only yours!
