We are fragmented beings at many levels, living in a fragmented world, trying so hard to patch together our fragmented lives. The chinks, the cracks, the scars and the wounds leave us feeling incomplete. This hole we try to fill with things we seek on the outside, failing to realize that they can never make […]

Unknot Your Life
It’s no secret, how over the course of time, we tend to do things we don’t want to, loved people who didn’t love us back, got betrayed, hurt, wounded, until the heart was shredded apart…all of these, making small knots on the fabric of our soul, serving us as reminders…reminders so that we never let […]
Not Alone..
The world has become unbearable to me. The more I try to center myself and tap into inner peace, the more junk it throws at me. I love the trash-to-treasure idea but what do you do with random acts of violence with absolutely no motive or reasoning? It’s hard to erase those images from […]
Be A Better You..
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” How aptly they defined in a few words, the importance of a better ‘you’ as far as health is concerned but I have a question here, “who is the real […]
Dancing With The Winds
** As mesmerizing as the flames of a bonfire or the frothy gurgle of a brook can be the flight of a kite. I crane my neck to look up in awe and in my thoughts, I am astride those fragile paper wings. My heart lifts, I feel my body levitate and there is an expansion […]
From The Ashes..
I can count the number of movies I have cried in. Anjali, Taare Zameen Par, The Notebook and Titanic. This week I added a new one to my tearjerker list – Dolphin Tale. It is a tale of triumph. Overcoming odds. Resilience. The American Heritage dictionary defines resilience as the ability to recover quickly from […]
Spirit..
Conflicts Confront My Reality, and get distorted. Life Threw questions at Me, truth I retorted. Tribulations engulf me like a rain-cloud, I can either sit at home or brave the storm, ‘Cos life is about spirit not only Form. *** Dinesh is a mish-mash of Chennai, Bangalore and Mumbai, the cities he has lived in and fallen in love with. Poet, […]
The Soul Has A Mirror Image
We all look in the mirror each day. Maybe more than once. Admire ourselves or even flinch at what we see sometimes. But have you ever wondered what your soul would look like in the mirror? I used to. A lot! Till a day, I came across this guy. He was neither an acquaintance nor […]
Airtight Containers
I was packing a lunch box. A day back. And the vegetable that I had cooked and was stuffing into the air-tight tiffin box was spinach. Now we all know how volatile the nutrients in a leafy vegetable are. So I felt a bit off about cooking it and then packing it. It would travel […]
Not Me…
I feel woolly in the head, often. It’s a light, airy feeling, of a benevolent happy detachment, if pushed to analyse. Those are silent, reflective moments I break free in, to float away from the immediate so I can observe the circus in action, all around. I watch the cast, you and me and those […]
The Harmony Within
“In India, you can stand in one place and look to your right, and you see a funeral. Look to your left, and you see a marriage. Look in front of you, and you see little children that are born and are starving in the streets. And look behind you, and somebody’s driving a Bentley. […]
Listen To Life
Listen to life..There is no strife. Lovingly share from the heart Wondering about its art Together Seeing .. Not seeking Possibilities of co-creation In the midst of conflict Of the verse in the midst of What’s adverse Of the song, the voice in the middle of the noise Because .. Deep inside it all Lies […]
