My new found passion - dancing

Wings of Fire
In the corner room with the wooden floor
Lay the soft song of life..
By the comforting warmth of
Everyday life,
Untouched by the whirlwind
Within.
Till you came by and
The song remained soft no more..
It is a calling,
The brilliance of a thousand suns
Dazzling on the wooden floor.
Waiting to take off
In passion
On the wings of fire.

The Zahir : The emotions that I experienced

I just completed reading the book by Paulo Coelho “The Zahir”. It is a fantastic story of an individual’s journey of discovering himself. This book has created two very powerful reactions in me. One of complete agreement to what the author has to say. The other of disagreement because it raises in me several unanswered questions that I have come to know as valid questions in these 31 years of my life. In this book the author explains how he had to loose his inhibitions, his past and all the boundaries set by society in order to find true love and discover himself. His theory is based on a constant, that the society and human history teaches us the norms of “good” or “bad” the “normal” or the “abnormal”. We use and follow rules blindly, The rules set by history of the civilization that we now call our own. His construct is based on his belief that in order to be able to enjoy life to the fullest and help others to enjoy life to the fullest, a human mind has to break away from the bound...

Waiting

The rains have washed away The remnants of yesterday The water colored sky Reaches out to the dripping wet leaves With a promise of the Sun kissed happy times that lie ahead The smell of the wet earth Brings back memories of Unknown times that Makes the green heart nostalgic. The rain drenched birds Wait in anticipation To spread their wings and float away To lands of dreams and music. Creation drifts from one moment To another.. With memories of the past Ingrained in the future Waiting for me to join them…

Mindsets that can help us live better lives

I am currently reading a book by Dale Carnegie, which many of you might have seen on the bookshelves of several bookstores. It is called, ‘How to stop worrying and start living”. http://www.amazon.com/How-Stop-Worrying-Start-Living/dp/0671733354 In this book, the author in his well recognized style shares with the reader several fantastic learnings like: Live in day tight compartments: “Shut out the yesterdays which have lighted fools the way to dusty death.. The load of tomorrow” . Shut off the future as tightly as the past. The future is today What is the worst that can possibly happen if I can’t solve my problem? : When in a tight corner, which appears like a dead end with no light at the end of the tunnel to live for. Ask yourself this question, and prepare for the worst. Our life is what our thought makes of it. Put a “Stop – Loss” order on your worries: What is the last limit upto which I am go gin to worry about / complain about / hold a grudge on, on a particular issue. This is...
