Stockdale Paradox...

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties AND at the same time Confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

Happy New Year 2017!

Be Happy!

Be Compassionate!

To My Gaurdian Angels...

I was dead
Universe knew why it happened
It sent me you
As a blessing

You gave me life force
You gave me soul
By binding
yours with mine

You taught me
To feel happy about myself
You taught me
To feel great about myself

You protected me
All the time
You taught me
to protect myself

Sometimes I had fear
About losing you
It made me afraid
To come closer to you

But you took my hand
Made me walk along with you.
And that moment
You became My Universe.

PS : Dedicating this poem to my gaurdian angels Silver, Gold and Diamond. I am grateful to them in all my births and thankful to Universe for sending them to me!!!

Kolam...

Kolam is one of the old practice of south India. Women get up early in the morning, clean the entrace, sprinkle with water and draw kolam. Kolam can be drawn by connecting dots. Non dot based kolam patterns are also there. Kolam increases the creativity of the person. Mind becomes positive when looking at the beautiful kolam. It relaxes mind. It is a good exercise as one has to sit, sat and bend when drawing kolam. Breathing early morning fresh air is also good for health.

The tamil month "Markazhi" is from Dec 14 to Jan 14. We put color kolam in this month. I enjoy putting color kolam always as colors cheer me up in the early morning along with fresh air.

Dear Universe

Allow me to be the happiness

In your smile.

Allow me to be the cheerfulness

In your laughter.

Allow me to be the vision

In your eyes.

Allow me to be the action

In your mission.

Because

I deserve it.

And thank you

For guiding me always

With love

This glass is full...

"This glass is full. Half water + half air = full glass" will be my answer if some one ask me whether this glass is half empty or half full. We all come to this world with pessimism and optimism as the character traits.Our view towards the world decides whether we are optimist or pessimist. We all have the choice to make ourself as the victim of the experiences in our life or the creator of them. Because experience does not happen to us, it happens through us. 

Too much of pessimism/optimism is contagious, but people run away from the ones who have too much of pessimism.  "The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails " said W.A. Ward.
 An optimist would see only unlimited potential, a pessimist might see unattainable potential. Some times the experiences in life turn us to be a pessimistic. But we can break the pattern because we are the ones who forms the pattern.

"We are what we think.

All that we are arises with our thoughts. 

With our thoughts we make the world.

Speak or act with an impure mind

And trouble will follow you.

Speak or act with a pure mind

And happiness will follow you

As your shadow, unshakable."

   --Gautama Buddha

Time...

People can hear what you are talking 

People can listen to the meaning

But I can understand you

Even though I am deaf

People can see your beauty

People can admire your looks

But I can find you

Even though I am blind

People can be loyal

People can cheat

But I can be true to you

Even though I am feelingless

Poeple say you are a hero

People say you are a villian

But I say you are infinity

People can live in past

People can live in future

But I can live with you - in present

You are time

And I am Devilish Angel

RGB Monday...

Thank you Jeevan for accepting my idea to create a chain link on RGB Monday.  I am always inspired by his colorful photos. Seeing colorful photos make my heart happy. As I dont have colorful photos taken by me now, I am posting this picture. Small drops of water make an ocean and I start my journey in RGB Monday with the picture of a water drop. This picture shows how a drop of water can show multiple colors.
