• Chipping away and pitfalls

  Not very long ago did I start something called ‘tapping’. It was intended to release blocked emotions and indirectly relieve my frozen shoulder pain. A very clever lady called Kanika Gupta started me off on it.

  With her I am learning the art of chipping away at a mountain and staying at it. The staying part is very hard for me. My mind wanders frequently; away from the chipping and into standing beside the mountain and looking to the top and feeling less , a feeling that I am nowhere close to where I want to be. Sometimes the feeling is similar to having been trapped for aeons in shackles, someone who has recently been awarded freedom to be in normal day light, normal air and with normal people.

  Normal people… why even expect the world from them ? The nurture and support. The Universe provides that anyway.

  To be continued…

• For a happy new year 2022

  Go less with the flow

  Carve your own path a bit more

  Think a bit less

  Do a lot more

  Commit yourself

  Fear a lot less

  Look within a bit more

  To others a little less

  Move a lot more

  Stand aside and watch yourself grow

• The pleasure of your company

  Its indescribable warmth and camaraderie

  Everything looks beautiful in togetherness

  To be cherished

  forever

  These moments of love and harmony

  To be re-lived

  forever.

• Through my menopause-tinted glasses

  Life feels like a whirr when it’s not slow

  Take it easy, says my soul

  Not too much talking, not too much walking or running around

  Easy does it, says the mind.

  So relax my friend,take a deep deep inhale

  Let go of the past and surrender to the moment

  Let the future unfold as it will

  Stand not in its way

  Sit back and enjoy this ride

  The bumpity rumble and tumble

  You are half way there and all is well

  As far as the mind can see

  Take your time

  Enjoy the hues, the blues, the views

  And love the tide

  Let the waves come rolling at your feet

  Feel the sand beneath

  Leave your footprint behind

  Sandcastles too

  Let the waves come rolling in

  For no one can control the tide

  So surrender

  Accept and love

  Take a few deep breaths when things don’t go right and let go of hurt

  Glide into the future

  Gleam bright and shine your light !

• Mere mata pita

  Hamesha mere saath

  Hamesha saath nibhane wale

  Kabhi bhi haath nahi chhoda

  Pal pos kar bada kiya, apna jo kuchh tha sab kuchh de diya

  Waqt, himmat, pyar, dulaar, acche bure sanskaar, khushi se jeene ka dhang, sehat ka khayaal karna vagehra sab kuchh sikhaya

  Kabhi kuchh nahi maanga, sirf diya

  Aur hamare liye kiya

  Tum dono ne he bahut kiya hum sab ke liye

  Hum kabhi itna nahi de paaye tumhein, ek rinh hai hum pe wo

  Bus yaad karke, naman karke apni zindagi tumhare dikhaye hue raste aur sikhaye hue adarsho se chal paayein, wo he de sakenge tumhein hum iss janam mein.

• Kaali syah raat … a page from an insomniac’s diary

  Jab din mein bhi ho

  Raaton ka andhera aankhon mein

  ek aur raat jab neend khele aankh micholi

  Mastishq bhi khele buri yaado se badrang rango ki holi

  Aur zehen mein reh jaaein adhuri chaahtein.

  Magar aarzu ye hai ki fir aaye saawan ghoom ke ik din

  Jab shaam hote he sapne humein bhi Karein yaad

  Yaadon mein bhi bhare rang bemisaal

  Aur jaise bhaang ke se nashe mein jhoome mera mann aaj

  Aisi Khoobsurat khwahishon ki imaarat khadi ki Maine.

  Fir ek din sacchai se hui ittefaq se mulaquat…

  Aankho mein Mili andhiyari raat

  Raat ke andhere mein Chhupe hue ashq

  Ashquon mein dabe hue, dhanse hue khwaab

  Khwaabon mein bahut sara hansna, khelna, dena aur paana

  Pyaar he pyaar

  Jab mitt jayenge hum yaha se, iss jahaan se

  Sapne mil jaayenge mitti mein

  Raakh ho jayenge jab sab gilaah shikwe

  Tab ek aisi neend aayegi

  Ki koi bhi shor, sharaarat, soch

  In sapno mein rehne se rok nahi paayegi

  Aisi ek Kali Syah Raat

  …

• A life of my dreams

  I dream of a life where everybody is happy and free

  I dream of a life full of smiles and laughter

  A life of love, care, trust and compassion

  A life we can cherish and live everyday 

  A life of satisfaction in what we have 

  A life of gratitude and giving 

  A life of abundance and innocence

  A life in which I sleep well and wake up happy 

  A life of fulfilment, enriched with friendliness and love 

  Of those who surround me

  Of flowers and boundless nature 

  Of music, of soulfulness

  I dream of active days but quiet evenings

  I dream of a comforting conversation before I go to bed

  I dream of a good night kiss

  Peace and warmth in my heart

  Before I close my eyes for the day

  To dream about this life of my dreams

  And one day

  Manifest it.

• Alone

  Alone in the morning and at night

  Alone in brightness and all that light

  Alone in my darkest, most painful moments

  Alone when I need someone by my side

  Alone when I need sleep but there is none

  Alone next to you staring into the sun 

  Alone in a crowd of those that surround you

  Alone at home amongst those whom you need

  Alone emotionally and nowhere to go

  Alone and unfit to be around you

  Alone in feeling my feelings and my skin

  I feel alone. 

  Alone when someone mocks me and puts me down

  Alone when I lie awake for hours on end 

  Alone forever more.
