Dance with me

I look around me,

Plants with their leaves and flowers
Sky with Sun and Clouds
Walls with doors and window
And me with my Shadow

We sit together,

And I rant to them the complexities in my excel file
The tasteless tea that I make almost always
The cluelessness of tasks to do this weekend
And memories of a distant friend

They listen to me,

As emotionally, as they can in their unemotional state of being
As patiently, as they are controlled and cannot leave
As hopefully ,that these rants would change to some cheerful words
And I smile and release all that, that ever hurts

I have made friends,

With the happiness that stays when I am happy
With the loneliness that sets in when happiness goes for a walk
With the Plant, the Sky, The Walls and the Girl who lives in me
And Life is a journey with some rough edges it seems
Till then these precious friends accompany me;
And even as I dance, it is my shadow that
dances along with me…

Relationship with Rains

Image
I wake up very early these days for my Yoga sessions, but morning today was something else..it was dark and pouring. Doing Om Chanting with my   eyes closed to the rhythm of raindrops hitting the walls of my balcony was a divine experience.. My trainer had to wake me up from my deep trance   to move forward for Asanas. There is something magical about rain. It resonates the emotions you feel and enlarge it to consume you. Like, if you are heartbroken or sad, rain can drown you in to the depth of your sorrows, but if you are happy in your heart, rain can invite you into a spontaneous dance under it’s spell on the rhythm of your laughter.   If you are in love and your partner is by your side, it can take a form of a seductress wooing you and your partner into a passion play of sensuality and romance. And if, you are in love away from your partner it can moist your eyes and at the same time, bring a smile to your face and prayer on your lips asking God to send him...

I am not a Victim of my Circumstances

Image
Every episode of Satyamev Jayte leaves me speechless, yet pumps so much blood in my heart and make me want to hug myself and feel proud of me. I see all those survivors, who faced challenges whether it was domestic violence, forced abortions, sexual molestation or humiliation due to dowry demands. But one thing prevails, that they were lost when they endured that torture but they did not succumb to it. It takes that one strong willed NO, which ends all further pain. It's a different story that the No in many cases comes after several tortures, humiliation and painful incidents..But it does come. When I look at them, who bore these tortures and have resurrected their fate, those who grew stronger than their tormentor and have healed themselves, I give a silent hug through this thin air from me to them. I have been there, luckily not in such extreme challenge but yes being violated and snatched off my self esteem and safety..And I swear to God, it was not easy. Repeated attempts...

It took me 30+ years to be this AWESOME!

So today is the youngest I will ever be in my life because come tomorrow and another year will be added to my Age.  This thought revealed some not so happy emotions from that hidden corner in my mind (or heart! Can’t make one from the other ). Am I getting old? Hair colour are not just fashion anymore. They are here to stay! I can’t help but look closely around my eyes, to find those lines. Are they wrinkles or just lines due to excessive smiling? And what about that much hyped body clock? Since I am going to be another feet up in my 30s scale, is it time to make most of the limited egg supply in my ovaries? Why do comments like, “you don’t look a day older than 24 make me want to hug and dance ? I didn’t even care how I looked when I was 24! Am I entering the time when metabolism will go downhill and I may no longer remain that skinny girl, other girls were jealous off? Should I start dressing up more responsibly now and let go of my half a dozen hot pants and 2...
