Of love & loving…

It's funny that the word 'love' alone wasn't enough for us, we had to bring another word 'unconditional' before it to understand that love on its own is infact unconditional! After I had written my previous post, a couple of people in my circle took offense, for I was disowning a sentiment that rules the...

This is what dreams are made of…

I was 10 when I decided I won't drink coffee or tea, cos I didn't want to get addicted to a drink, as it was the case with several elders I knew then. Why should a habit dictate my life? I was 15 when I decided I won't be confined to terms like family, cos...

Beyond the oppressive play!

Ours is a world that is currently afflicted by the fear of the pandemic corona virus, at one end, and each of our own internal storylines at the other. With so many balls up in the air, it seemingly becomes rather sensible to tackle the balls, rather than winding down into the bird's eye view....

Going beyond…

Robert Frost once wrote: "Two roads diverged in a wood, I took the one less traveled by And that has made all the difference." What a classic line that is, for a century later we all still relate to it. In the August of 2013, Krishnashtami day, my Master told me to come and live...
