In this age, being in a focused and stable state throughout the day, without being a subject of distractions, is a superpower.The more we allow our thoughts to go berserk, harder it is to bring it back to the normal state of thinking.<br />
<br />
This poem is penned to remind myself what are the advantages of doing the right things, at the right time, with the right intent and energy, for in the long run, that is what matters.<br />
<br />
If you can go <b>beyond</b>, without crossing the <b>boundary</b><br />
If you can view the <b>obvious</b>, without any <b>perception</b><br />
If you can take it as <b>is</b>, without <b>is </b>taking you along<br />
Congrats for you are staying in the <b>center</b><br />
<b>Advantaged </b>to move in any <b>direction </b><br />
<br />
If you can comment on the <b>nature</b>, and not the <b>person</b><br />
If you can drink the <b>wine</b>, without being drunk by the <b>droplets</b><br />
If you can carry a benign <b>smile</b>, when surrounds are <b>vile</b><br />
Congrats for you are staying in the <b>center</b><br />
<b>Advantaged </b>to move in any <b>direction</b><br />
<br />
If you can make <b>amends</b>, without mending your goals or <b>dreams</b>,<br />
If you can keep things <b>easy </b>enough, and not make it <b>complex</b><br />
If you can be <b>present</b>, without <b>foraying </b>back and forth<br />
Congrats for you are staying in the <b>center</b><br />
<b>Advantaged </b>to move in any <b>direction</b><br />

At the end of any given day, when our energy levels are the same as that of dawn, it clearly suggests that we have done things in the right manner, although we may have done it unconsciously.<br />
<br />
Point is, had we done the same day in and out in a mindful manner, understanding the simple cause and effect parlance, it would be a different renewed us awaiting the next sunrise, every day of our life.<br />
<br />
This poem has been written to remind that no matter what the outside factors would be, there is always a place we can go back to - our eternal home.<br />
<br />
The place where you <b>belong </b>to & should come back<br />
The place where you feel <b>safe </b>and content anytime<br />
The place where you <b>understand </b>every bit of the structure<br />
The place where you see the <b>real </b>you in mirror<br />
<br />
The place where you can only do the <b>righteous</b><br />
The place where there are no <b>clouds </b>of doubts<br />
The place where <b>paths </b>are clearer than <b>crystals</b><br />
The place where your <b>physical </b>is distant from <b>The</b><br />
<br />
The place where you are way <b>above </b>reason's reach<br />
The place where <b>dopamine </b>doesn't need an <b>external</b><br />
The place where the <b>journey </b>takes precedence over the <b>end</b><br />
The place where we <b>gain </b>nothing, yet feel <b>complete</b><br />
<br />
Every one of us wants to reach this place, <b>unknowingly</b><br />
Its always <b>with in </b>the reach though, albeit<br />
Just needs a <b>let go</b> of the so called Supreme <b>Us</b><br />
The <b>Abode </b>will appear <b>closer </b>than ever it was.<br />
<br />
<br />

The other day I was watching a Malayalam movie, titled "18am Padi". There was a dialogue in it which did its part of striking the right chords in me to write this poem. This one is to remind us that despite the odds, if we can stay on course, sooner or later things always gets clearer and what we sought out for - is found nearer.<br />
<br />
At times,<br />
When <b>Combinations</b> does not <b>permute </b>well,<br />
When our <b>Interpretations </b>goes <b>awry,</b><br />
When our level of <b>Depths </b>are still left <b>wanted</b><br />
<br />
Remembering the <b>adage </b>always comes <b>handy</b><br />
<b>Seek</b> (with belief) <b>and you shall find</b> !!<br />
<br />
At times,<br />
When the <b>Whole </b>is left at stake for the <b>parts</b><br />
When the <b>Microcosm </b>comes upfront for the <b>macro </b>version<br />
When the <b>Impossible </b>in us waits to become <b>possible</b><br />
<br />
Remembering the <b>adage </b>always comes <b>handy</b><br />
<b>Seek</b> (with belief) <b>and you shall find</b> !!<br />
<br />
At times,<br />
When the <b>Divine </b>is thought to be in temple <b>core</b>,<br />
When the power of <b>Infinite </b>is hitherto <b>unknown</b><br />
When the <b>Walls </b>fails to pave the way ahead<br />
<br />
Remembering the <b>adage </b>always comes <b>handy</b><br />
<b>Seek</b> (with belief) <b>and you shall find !!</b><br />
<br />

Everyone of us wants to become the <b>The Perfect</b>, or atleast we do aim to be - albeit consciously or otherwise. However, to reach as near as possible to the exact <b>vantage </b>point, we need to list down the right virtues.<br />
<br />
This poem is penned to remind myself few of the principles, which I believe is supposed to be carried, in as many moments as possible for our own versions upgrade from <b>Good </b>-> <b>Better </b>-> <b>Best</b>.<br />
<br />
One who can make <b>sandcastles </b>out of thin air<br />
One who can <b>go on</b>, when all there is - is <b>friction</b><br />
One who can <b>read </b>between the lines or spaces & <b>tread</b>,<br />
One who can <b>smile </b>without a <b>reason </b>like a child<br />
<br />
Everyone foresees the <b>mirage </b>of the <b>Perfect </b>but in the end,<br />
One who <b>can </b>will be the one who <b>will </b>&<br />
One who <b>will </b>would be the one who <b>can.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
One who can stay <b>afloat </b>despite turbulent <b>storms</b><br />
One who knows to <b>move in</b>, when all else is moving <b>out</b><br />
One who can <b>restart</b>, when the process wheel is <b>stuck</b><br />
One who knows not to <b>cling </b>to a fact, thing or desire<br />
<br />
Everyone foresees the <b>mirage </b>of the <b>Perfect </b>but in the end,<br />
One who <b>can </b>will be the one who <b>will </b>&<br />
One who <b>will </b>would be the one who <b>can.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
One who knows the <b>crests </b>& <b>troughs </b>being <b>parts </b>and <b>parcel</b><br />
One who has no <b>walls </b>around <b>mind</b>, <b>body </b>and <b>heart</b><br />
One who thinks <b>water</b>, mending to fill the <b>gaps </b>at will<br />
One who sees up to <b>soar</b>, when the chips are <b>down</b><br />
<br />
Everyone foresees the <b>mirage </b>of the <b>Perfect </b>but in the end,<br />
One who <b>can </b>will be the one who <b>will </b>&<br />
One who <b>will </b>would be the one who <b>can.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
One who can <b>see </b>and bring hope & light out of <b>nowhere</b><br />
One who can <b>distill </b>the worthy/non worthy with <b>finesse</b><br />
One who applies "<b>+,-,*,/</b>" to every aspect that comes <b>upfront</b><br />
One who sees things as they <b>are </b>and not what is <b>wanted </b>to be<br />
<br />
Everyone foresees the <b>mirage </b>of the <b>Perfect </b>but in the end,<br />
One who <b>can </b>will be the one who <b>will </b>&<br />
One who <b>will </b>would be the one who <b>can.</b></div>

<b>Words </b>are powerful and have a huge impact on the speaker and listener, the way it is comprehended and how they are being told. Even though it does not appear to have a huge effect on the first glance, but if we really deep dive and think, <b>it does</b> !!<br />
<br />
This poem is penned to understand not to take words for granted, and to remember that lets be conscious enough to filter the <b>good </b>with <b>non-essential</b>, ensuring the right stuff goes inside us.<br />
<br />
It can <b>pierce </b>through hearts<br />
or<br />
<b>Mend </b>the broken parts.<br />
<br />
It can create <b>ripples </b><br />
or<br />
Just stay as mere sum of <b>alphabets</b><br />
<br />
It can <b>sentence </b>us inside our minds<br />
or<br />
<b>Liberate </b>the highest order in <b>chide</b><br />
<br />
It can make us do things to be forever <b>etched</b><br />
or<br />
Make us commit which is hard to <b>erase</b><br />
<br />
It can make our day/s, week/s, year/s <b>count</b><br />
or<br />
<b>Drag </b>it as a huge unnecessary <b>mount</b><br />
<br />
When <b>strewn </b>in the right order<br />
It being the catalyst of acting as a <b>fodder</b><br />
To think and act on the <b>message </b>of convey<br />
The <b>what </b>and <b>why </b>being taken the right way<br />
Helps us to not go <b>astray </b>and make <b>hay</b>.<br />

When you are <b>alone</b>, at least a moment you think<br />
How it was being with <b>everyone</b><br />
When you lose <b>direction</b>, at least a moment you think<br />
How it would have been paying heed to <b>advice/cues</b><br />

What if we <b>think</b>, <b>remember </b>and <b>act </b>the latter first !!<br />

When you are <b>bored</b>, at least a moment you think<br />

A father and his daughter were playing in the park.<br />
<br />
The young daughter spotted an apple vendor. She asked her father to buy her an apple. Father didn't bring much money with him, but it was enough to purchase two apples.<br />
<br />
So, he bought two apples and gave his daughter. His daughter held one apple each in her two hands. Then father asked her if she can share one apple with him.<br />
<br />
Upon hearing this, his daughter quickly took a bite from one apple. And before her father could speak, she also took a bite from the second apple.<br />
<br />
The father was surprised !!<br />
<br />
He wondered what mistake he made raising her daughter that she acted in such a greedy way. His mind was lost in thoughts, that perhaps he is just thinking too much - his daughter is too young to understand about sharing and giving.<br />
<br />
A smile had disappeared from his face.<br />
<br />
And suddenly his daughter with an apple in her one hand said, "Father have this one, this one is much juiciest and sweeter".<br />
<br />
Her father was speechless !!<br />
<br />
He felt bad about reaching to the judgement so quickly about a small child. But, his smile same back now, knowing why his daughter quickly took a bite from each apple.<br />
<br />
Many a times, we judge people or situations way too quickly and it so happens, that later when the clouds of misconceptions are cleared, we see the real motive of an action or a happening, around us.<br />
<br />
This is a beautiful story to remind us that let us take time to understand and gauge on the invincible things, and then arrive at a decision, with a better quality of perception.<br />
<br />
This will avoid many a frowns and unncessary thoughts, to debar or stop us from being Happy and Present.</div>

<div>
Think Different was an advertising slogan used by Apple Inc. from 1997 to 2002, which was a revolution of a sort at that time. When I heard this again in one of Twitter posts today, I wanted to pen this down. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
The whole thing is quite inspirational and has something that moves or stirs you to an extent. It's about those people who simply followed their heart and went full throttle in their endeavors, thereby making a lasting imprint for generations to come. Keeping aside the right thing or a wrong thing aside, just think from the perspective of thinking differently and just having the courage to go against the herd, with a conviction - that attitude is what we can learn and aim for.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
List is endless but few people that I could think of, right now :</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Mahatma Gandhi</div>
<div>
Albert Einstein </div>
<div>
Mohammad Ali</div>
<div>
Edison </div>
<div>
Newton</div>
<div>
Alfred Hitchcock</div>
<div>
Martin Luther King</div>
<div>
Sachin Tendulkar and so on</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Now, the excerpt that made headlines :</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
"Here's to the crazy ones</div>
<div>
The misfits, the rebels,</div>
<div>
The troublemakers,</div>
<div>
The round pegs in the square hole</div>
<div>
The ones who see things differently </div>
<div>
They are not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo</div>
<div>
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them,</div>
<div>
But the only thing you can't do</div>
<div>
Is ignore them</div>
<div>
Because they change things</div>
<div>
They push the human race forward</div>
<div>
And while some may see them as crazy ones</div>
<div>
We see genius</div>
<div>
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world</div>
<div>
Are the ones who do.</div>
<div>
Think different"</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Thinking different for the best that we can be, honing and bringing forth our innate powers and abilities, making ourselves feel content and complete, thus making our world and the one around us, better than before.</div>
<div>

Sometimes we react in a way which is quite unknown to our own selves. For no logical reason as such, we tend to go into the direction of negative pool of thoughts and it becomes increasingly difficult to get back to our normal state easily.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
During these times, it is even more difficult to remember the wise words or thoughts which we know already and again for some reason, we forget to even recollect them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These difficult-to-explain thoughts makes us gloomy and propels us to react in a way, which is not us. Worst, it affects our near and dear ones, as well because of the way we behave in front of them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At these times, we need to remember as best as we can, that our mind is becoming the master here, making us react unnecessarily. Rather, our thoughts and reaction should be in our control, in other words, mind should be listening to us, we being the Master.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Few probable solution to make us come back to our normal happy state, would be to use any of the below methods which we like and resonates with us :</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1) Words are really powerful - Have an easy access of some quotes or words or a short story write up. Few one liners or sentences have the ability to completely change the way we think in a split second.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2) Music - Musical notes has the ability to make us feel divinity around us. Have your favorite music downloaded or recorded, somewhere where you can easily access and listen to them. This calms our mind and makes us easy to forget the worrisome thoughts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3) Selfless act </div>
<div>
Do any selfless act to anyone - maybe to a stranger or someone close to you. It can be anything - smiling to a person or saying good morning/thank you or giving food to someone needy. Just remember it should be selfless.</div>
<div>
The practice of giving without expecting from the other side, makes us lighter and magically clears the clutter in our thoughts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4) Gratitude </div>
<div>
Always keep handy a note to remind yourself all the things that you are blessed in your life, currently. This makes us realize the great things that we already have, thus uplifting our moods. In this way, we focus less on what we don't have, thus making it easy to become our normal self.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

When the mind becomes noisy<br>
<div>
And Senses becomes hazy</div>
<div>
Try to Listen to your very own self</div>

<div>
And let It go !!</div>

<br></div>
<div>
When Not to be becomes To be</div>
<div>
And vice versa doesn't hold true</div>
<div>
Try to listen to your very own voice</div>
<div>
And let It go !!</div>
<div>

And awareness is a distant cry</div>

Letting go brings us back</div>

There was a seminar happening in which many people had come to attend. The speaker conducted a small exercise to engage everyone. He gave one balloon to each person and asked them to write their names on it. Then, all the balloons were collected and put in a room.<br />
<br />
Everyone was then let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their names within 5 minutes. As we all can imagine, there was a chaos that ensued as everyone started searching their balloons in hurry. At the end, none of them were able to collect their own balloons.<br />
<br />
Then the speaker asked everyone to randomly collect any balloon and simply give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes, everyone had their own balloons in their hands.<br />
<br />
Balloons = All that we strive for in this life - happiness, contentment, satisfaction<br />
<br />
Let's try to co-relate. When we help others around us in any small or big way possible, the experiential contentment and happiness we get, cannot be marked in words and can only only be felt inside. We all have experienced that moment in our lives when we have given to someone, without any expectation or intent or return.<br />
<br />
It is said that a person is happy when he gives people a bit of his heart rather a piece of his mind. If we can give someone's contentment or happiness (balloon) back to the person, whom it belongs to - the Universe and Nature makes sure that someone hands over our contentment or happiness (balloon) back to us.</div>

He said, "Yes, there is a person richer than me."</p>
<p dir="ltr">He then narrated an incident when he was neither rich nor famous. I was in New York Airport where I saw a newspaper vendor. I wanted to buy one newspaper but found that there was not enough change with me. So I returned the paper back to the vendor.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The vendor said, "I am giving this to you for free." On his insistence, I took the paper. Coincidentally, after 2-3 months, I landed in the same airport and again I was short of change to buy the newspaper. However, the vendor again gave it to me saying, "You can take it, I am giving it to you from my profit, so I would not be at loss". I took the newspaper.</p>
<p dir="ltr">After 19 years, I became famous and known to people. Suddenly one day I remembered the vendor. I began searching for him and found him couple of months later.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I asked him, "Do you know me". He said, "Yes. You are Bill gates".</p>
<p dir="ltr">I asked him again, "Do you remember once you gave me newspaper for free". He said, "Yes, I remember. I gave you twice".</p>
<p dir="ltr">I said, "I want to repay the help you had offered me at that time. Whatever you want in your life, tell me - I shall fulfill it". </p>
<p dir="ltr">The vendor said, "Dont you think by doing so, you won't be able to match my help". I asked, "Why". He said, "I had helped you when I was a poor newspaper vendor and you are trying to help me now when you have become the richest man in the world. How can your help match mine".</p>
<p dir="ltr">Henry Ward Beecher, an Americal social reformer rightly said, "It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has"</p>
<p dir="ltr">One time or another, all of us must have felt atleast once, that we would do something for the people in need when we have ample bank balance or assets worth mentioning. </p>
<p dir="ltr">However, due to our own conditioned societal reasonings, we pan ourselves out later. The fact is, which we know deep down under, it would never be enough and hence the right time will never come.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Depending on our capacity and understanding, let us do something selfless periodically, with the notion of simply making lives better than before. If we think with the right nerves and intent, we will figure out our ability quotient and then act accordingly.</p>

There was a King who had a pack of 10 wild dogs. He used them to punish all those who committed blunders. One day one of his ministers made a mistake. The King was furious and passed an order that the minister should be thrown to the dogs. Desperate to save his life, the minister pleaded "I served you faithfully for 10 years and in return this is what you would do to me. Ok, fine, if that's what you want it to be. But for serving you these many years, can i ask you a small favour".<br />
<br />
The King said, "Agreed, tell me what do you want". The minister asked - "Just give me 10 more days". The King agreed readily.<br />
<br />
The minister then went to the guard who was the caretaker of the wild dogs and pleaded him to allow taking care of the wild dogs for 10 days. Unaware of the King's order, the guard was little surprised though he agreed as it would have reduced his daily work routine.<br />
<br />
The minister took care of the wild dogs for the next 10 days with utmost love and care, feeding them, bathing them, cleaning for them and making them feel very comfortable. After 10 days were over, the king ordered the minister to be thrown to the dogs but to his utter amazement, the dogs started licking the feet of the minster !!<br />
<br />
Being baffled by this behaviour, the King asked, "What has happened to these dogs ?" The minister replied, "My King, I served the dog for only 10 days, and even in such a short term of service, they didn't forget what I did for them"<br />
<br />
This story tells a lot about how should we deal with our relationships. Isn't it a fact that sometimes just because of a mistake, a small or a big one from someone whom we are related to closely, we tend to forget all the numerous times when they had immensely cared for us, shared their love to us, made us feel good, better and best, helped us to be what we can, making us believe in ourselves - all those moments contributing in its own unique way - making us what we are, how we are and where we are, right now !!<br />
<br />
A reporter asked an elderly couple, "What is the secret of your happy marriage". They replied, "We were born in a time when if something was broken, we would fix it. Not just throw it away"<br />
<br />
That statement pretty much summarises the intent and clearly says a lot about having a long lasting relationship with people, who matter most to us. Let's be mindful about it and not be intimidated by provocative situations, thus gracefully embracing and paving way for those everlasting moments to come in our relationships.</div>
