Hey, I don't like my reflection in the mirror (poem)

I know we are all exactly one and same.
Yet, very often, I get lured away into believing,
that at this point I am definitely better/stronger than him...
Till, it hits hard on my body - "Hello, he is nothing but a mirror".

Its all in my thoughts (poem)

Whatever is happening in my life,
I can choose to be thankful (in Light),
or to complain (operating under impressions),
my life, my perspective, my experience is in my thoughts.

Whatever I am doing at any moment,
I can either choose to be totally present,
or to be chatting incessantly with my inner self,
my life, my perspective, my experience is in my thoughts.

Peace Matters (poem)

The pain is in seeking.
The peace is in giving.

The pain is in desiring.
The peace is in loving.

The pain is in expecting.
The peace is in creating.

The pain is in frustrating.
The peace is in forgiving.

Praying for a Loving, Peaceful and Harmonious Thanksgiving

Dear God,

Forgive me for not being able to forgive
those souls who I think have knowingly/unknowingly 
hurt physically/emotionally either me or very dear people/souls.

Bless me with Love, Peace and Harmony; use me as Thy instrument
to deflect it towards all, now and whenever any pain/justification arises within me.

Amen

It’s not a man’s world (an aspiration)

I grew up with an impression that it’s a man’s world. I heard these words repeated inside my family, among neighbors and society (in Delhi, India). I witnessed it inside my own home and my surroundings.

I lived my life helplessly for the first 38 years of my life, pleasing people in my life – especially, father and husband. It gradually took a toll on my health and finally, it laid me on bed with an injured back. For, I had literally become spineless.

I had been seeking happiness from relationships but they had been causing way more pain than the happiness. I found myself emotionally entrapped in severe unhappiness – worries, insecurities, helplessness and frustrations to name some. I was always busy fixing situations and stuck in my “supposed-to-be-this way”- absolutely logical and in my mind. I was being, what I was trained for in my PhD (in Physics from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi) - researcher discovering solutions.

I aspire to share my journey from leading a life with a belief that, “It’s a man’ world”, to realizing that I am whole, perfect and complete.  The goal is to listen with compassion and to express deep buried feelings in a safe space (where there will be absolutely no room for judgments, gossip or advice). The intention is to gift every women a healing and to inspire them to share it with many more in their Universe.

Oh my God, Krishna and Gurus, use me as Thy instrument. 

Heal me and bless me to heal others.

Enough of, "this is the way it has always been.." (poem)

Why did I need
to wait to eat together,
when the food was ready
and I was extremely hungry?

Why did I not honor my hunger,
whether I was at my sister's or sister-in-laws,
whether I was the hostess or I was an invited guest,
why did I sometimes starve or hide in the kitchen to eat?

Why was I stuck with my supposed-to-be,
which does not allow the girl/women/host/guest,
to eat when they are hungry and they need to wait for men/children,
or even tolerate conversations about,"this is the way it has been happening"?

Why could not I express myself whether to parents or family?
Why was I stuck in looking pretty by obeying the rules set by my family?
Why is that most of the rules, expectations are from the women/lady/mother of home?
Why is that the men get to judge, complain out loudly and women can only cry silently in hiding?

Love and Hatred... (poem)

...are two sides of the same coin.
...are two opposite strong feelings.
...are two emotions that heal and hurt.
...are two sources of deep pain in our lives.

Ji hai, so hai (in Hindi it means What is, is)... (poem)

... so why struggle for it to be different?
and why waste energy for it to be better?

...so why not let everything be the way it is?
and why not let everyone be the way they are?
