Priceless experiences.....

You know what, there are a few things in this world which are amazing and cannot be replaced by any other experience. 
Experience of walking bare feet on the dried leaves and the grass covered with dew
Experience of letting the raindrops kiss me while I am drenched and the wind hugging me...
Experience of hugging my loved ones and immersing myself into the hug and forgetting the world...
Experience of allowing the feet to dig deep into the sand while the waves pass away after washing them...
Experience of being thrown out by the waves on the beach and sometimes somersaulting under the waves...
Experience of feeling the heaviness in the body while relaxing...
Experience of sitting under a shady banana plant and holding its bark which feels so cold on a rough dry afternoon
Experience of listening to the birds chirping away
Experience of seeing the beautiful orange sunrise amongst the numerous cottony clouds
Experience of seeing the full moon in the dark sky while clouds cover and uncover it
Experience of seeing a flock of birds flying together.
Experience of seeing the sun as it kisses the horizon and becomes one with it
Experience of drinking water after a long sunny trek...water surely feels like nectar...
Experience of washing the sweaty dirty face with a splash of water after a long long walk...
Experience of smelling a newborn baby and hugging it...it is a heavenly feeling
Experience of smelling the soil when the raindrops fall on it for the first time...
Experience of tasting the crispiness of the salad and the lettuce as it sprays juices into the mouth while my teeth dig into them...
Experience of dissolving into the inner stillness while meditating...
Experience of the presence of angels around me while they send signals in their own beautiful ways...
Experience of being mindful of each and every moment...
Experience and excitement of meeting a loved one after a long time...
Experience of “anand” when eyes are bathing with tears because they could not contain the newly found gratitude every single day...
Experience of listening to the inner self and downloading ideas from the universal internet...
Experience of passionately chasing the idea and bringing it to fruition
Experience of fulfillment as grace flows within me..
These experiences are very healing and rejuvenating and they really cannot be replaced by anything...
And sometimes when I want to go into a mode of
compulsive shopping or
speaking negative or
feeling negative or
getting sucked into the gadget world or the internet...
I know that the inner well is empty and needs to be filled with the above experiences and then and only then will it flow and give the best to people around me...

Grieving.... or learning and growing ???

As I start writing these lines, I can listen to the wind gushing and the leaves rustling, sometimes scaring me and sometimes nourishing my soul. It is a very wet day today and there is water logging everywhere and also Ganpati Visarjan. These days take me back to the times when I and my sister were very little. My dad didn’t work on the days that there was Visarjan. I was hardly 10 years old and my sister barely 5. There we were near the beach at Seven Bunglows shivering to the wind that was slapping us while the rain lashed us till we were drenched along with mom and dad. And these memories keep coming back. Seeing one ganpati after the other, ready for Visarjan. I used to be mesmerized by the artist’s ability to carve such a beautiful form that the eyes of Ganpati would speak. I still remember those days when my dad also took me on his cycle’s back seat. Oh!!! How much I miss (no I think I remember) those days. There is this emotional pain which I fe...

Kojagiri Poornima...moonlight party!!

Fashion changes every day...and so does the moon!! When I was little, there was this “Banjara” dress which was in fashion. My parents bought this white and red “Banjara” dress which had a red “Ghagra” and white blouse to it. It had a lot of mirror work on it. This used to be my favorite outfit when I was little -around 10 years old!!! I used to carry the chunari on my head and keep spinning watching my “ghagra” move with me.... And then there was a night of celebrations- “the moonlight party”. My friends and elder friends (we were the “chillar” party) were told that we will have a potluck party. Then, we will play Antakshari, dumb charades and also share jokes. It sounded like a lot of fun to me and I pleaded with my mom that she allows me to go to this party. This party was to be held under the moonlight in the big courtyard that the houses collectively had. We were planning to stay awake till 12 and then have the nectar “the Amrit”. I told my mom about the “the Amrit” and a...

A new day, a new week and a very good health.... what else can I ask for? Yayyyyyy........................feeling blessed!! Somewhere I read a statement, can’t remember the words exactly but what it meant was If it was your last day on this planet, would you be doing what you are doing right now? (Yes, yes because I love to express and I am doing that ...bang on!!) And if you know it is your last day on this planet, what would you regret not doing?(Oh!! I love to dance....I need to dance every day...just express myself through words and dance....) Another statement that came across (you know I believe in signs completely) is “How will you make your life better than what it is now? What are the things that need to change in your life now?” After a lovely night of recharging, I awaken.... while still choosing to get up after another five minutes, the recorder of my mind starts with the same questions... If it was your last day on this planet, would you...
