This is an endless, timeless process of movement, and to mark or measure it against the end of the calendar year isContinueContinue reading “You think any of this is real?”

Rebirth
Rebirth I sit in this chair Surrounded by a few plants Breathing in the discussions of the motley birds watching the overgrown bamboo bend under its own weight I have been cowed down by my own inaction with simple inabilities to persevere looking back at all I didn’t do I feel no remorse no guiltContinueContinue reading “Rebirth”
Walking ahead
I have not given this year credit enough for being an important year of my life. In so many ways I am still stuck to the memories of my year in Boston and how wonderful it was. How it expanded my horizons, how it gave me friends who have become an important part of myContinueContinue reading “Walking ahead”
Conversations with God
An excerpt from a conversation with my 2yr 8 month old :- Me: You keep asking me why for every little thing Pranav. I don’t know everything! Pranav: Why don’t you know everything?

Imagination
Sometimes when I am too tired being a mother, wife, daughter, daughter-in-law, friend, sister I seek refuge in my imagination and ride away on its wings The shower becomes a waterfall the green grass outside is a mountain-side the brown earth are sand dunes the reflection of the sky in the puddle is my lakeContinueContinue reading “Imagination”
Coming back here
Life- both creating it and experiencing it; Health- mine and of family Emotions- plenty of them, that run the entire spectrum from elation, gratitude, humility to despair and grief; Growth- when I let go of what I wanted, accepted that which causes me pain and welcomed the power I possess to make what I wantContinueContinue reading “Coming back here”
