Have you ever thought of life as a river? A stream of continuous emotions, thoughts, actions and experiences, a mixed bag, an ever changing eco system.
Have you ever thought of life as a river that is fed by multiple inlets of streams, small rivulets that replenish it from hills and plains of varied experiences alike?
Have you ever thought of life as river that needs multiple sources of joy, of love, of appreciation, of expression so that the life energies are well expended?
As a river that is in a state of flux, life demands that we explore multiple areas of self expression, that are creative, challenging and therefore, satisfying.
As you and I explore, new forms of art, new areas to travel to, new problems to work on, new ways to contribute to the society, life looks more interesting.
Let’s then have multiple rivulets of joy, love, appreciation, expression in our life, so that we don’t burden those in our immediate surroundings with our need for validation.
Let’s replenish our river of life and may new experiences of joy and abundance visit us more frequently!

Life as a river -
Sometimes you think of things you want to do and think also of why you should or should not be doing it, but then if the thought brings a smile to your face, know that you should plunge straight ahead.
The eager child-like spirit in me, gushing at wonders of the world, the beauty of people, their kindness, the wonderful birds, the ever chanting crickets, the blue sky and the cat by my side, remind me often of a smile that was lost, of the battles that were waged to get the smile back and well, you realize what exactly you need to do and why.
So, then the universe and her guiding spirit lead me to roads hitherto unexplored, friendships till now not made, loads of smiles to conquer, make one’s own and string into a necklace of memories.
Trusting the universe and her infinite mastery over so many lives has been the biggest strength of living, that which enables me to bear a few smirks and over look a few more raising eye brows, because, you see, in front a happy, blessed child within, I am a warrior, a conqueror, a dreamer, a way farer with the masts high, a pen in hand, a willing ear, a heart ready to share, understand and be willing to contribute whichever way I can.
So, it is time to raise a rainbow and make the sky smile rather than wait for clouds to make way for the brightness and cheers to that!!!

It does amuse me to think of how souls are connected to each other despite our many differences and our distances. So, when the grumpy superior taunts, teases and almost insults, I look at her, most amused at this sudden outpouring of powerful emotions, is she aware of what she is thus exposing? Does it augur well for me? Do I now have to renew the resume and restart the search?
Perhaps it is a good omen, perhaps there is something bigger. And well, what about karma, isn’t karma supposed to kick in and reward me for unparalleled good deeds?
Well, I know them to be so, I thought a bit unsure as I mulled over it longer.
What oil rich countries now need the service of a classy, trained, patient and wonderfully skilled charismatic English teacher? What wonderful adventures await the charming soul in such travels?
What great institutions are suffering, being deprived of the enlightenment that this humble at times slightly arrogant individual alone can provide?
What MNCs are waiting to unload treasures from their coffers to the good skills and great abilities that this wonderful person can alone provide?
What sagely wisdom now awaits the mighty pen of the mightier writer?
What casts/pod or otherwise have now to be shared in the clouds?
Is this now the chance to ‘influence’ and turn an ‘influencer’, maybe?
In a world of’ unique you’, ain’t I the only one with no replacement?
Perchance there is the possibility of her founding a grand institution, one that helps and heals and stands by women? How mightily noble does that sound?
What noble soul albeit rich in heart and kind shall now manifest to lend a hand,( knights in armor are still female fantasies!!! despite feminism the truth of life is that the man gets it all, so better get the man and then get all, right?)
Whither the winds of corona dost thou steer my ship???
The idiosyncrasies of the mind are relentless and allow me the humor to stand apart and look at this phase of my life, thinking this too shall pass……
Until such time Cheerio!
