Good morning to me :)



I am a seeker.... And I found so many things in my journey. Travelling different places, meeting different people, learning different lessons of life, a student of life and a teacher to myself.

Susan Jeffers writes in her book - " Power is not the ability to make other people do what you want them to do, it is the ability to make yourself do what you wish to do."

And then I read in Doreen Virtues post once Affirm

"I am powerful and I am loved.
I am powerful and I am loving
I am powerful and I love it."

There comes a time in life when you lose all your powers, when someone amazing comes by and shows you a dream, which is a far sighted one, like a mirage in the oasis and when you reach there , there is nothing and no one. Illusion/ Maya.

Amidst the beautiful and bitter realities life showed me on my journey, I also sometimes get lost in this illusion, I am human.Also, I love to be human.

In that moment, when I am lost, you ask me who am I? Where am I? Why am I? What am I? How am I?
And my answer to all would be I don't know, in that moment it is actually very real and very unreal too.

Lines of a song in Wake up Sid - "sun rahi hun sudh budh kho ke koi mai kahani, poori kahani hai kya, kisey hai pata...."

And then the true reality shows up one day, and the illusion breaks and so do the myths associated with that illusion. That's like what I saw in a movie yesterday "A dream too good to be true."

WOW!!! I say to myself that it was a beautiful dream. And I wake up and get back to my work and travel and the nomadic life that I live.

"Safar ka hi tha mai safar ka raha"

I belong to these sometimes empty roads,and sometimes with many beautiful people around who sing n dance and walk with you, sit silently, share, listen , care and leave.

Am Glad I am in touch with what you call is my ground reality, am a traveller here with no destination.
My journey is filled with all the facets of life, that keep me human and humble. I recall here a song I hear often when I would be sad or hurt, slip n slide

I love the lyrics of the song, it's of Laura Allan...
"Whenever you feel a little crazy,
or may be too many things on your mind,
clear a little place for your dreams my friend,
leave your troubles behind.....
Slip n slide away u go, into a dream,
now they say that dreams are just for fools, I betcha fools made up those rules.... So never mind what they say, you just slip n slide away.... Coz it's okay...."

Yeah!!! Fool I am, I know it's a dream and I slip into it and never mind what they say 😊 and my daughter Avani when i told her about how it was just a dream says.... "And it's okay" 😊

Blessed and fortunate to have been gifted the beautiful children God gave to me. I did not do anything to deserve them, yet God gave me them, grateful they chose me to be born to.

I tell people, If my sharing is too much for you to take, please choose to move out of my list.
Good part is no worries no one who moves out of my life, is away from me, as we are all together on this earth and supporting each other to live, love, laugh, grow, be and do all that we do. Gratitude you came, you spent some time and left when you wanted to leave.

No coincidence my non stop music playlist which is my beautiful companion now says "jise tu bhool jaaye, khwab wo sachcha nahi...."
The dream that you forget is not a real one 😊 this is for the person who showed me the dream and like a wizard became invisible.

Good night to you and Good morning to me. I just woke up from a dream 😊

Placing my feet on the ground and grounding myself.

Now moment to moment I tread ahead. No desire dream, to seek, to find, to live, to die, to teach or to learn either. Living one moment at a time and this moment I am grateful to all the good and bad that came around. Grace of God. Hare Krishna!!!

Rest in next...
