Mind

Seven days!!! And not a ray of Sun,
What all I had did not matter. Every ounce of me longed for one ray of  it.
And now, when it finally brightens the sky,
my heart skips a beat.
It hurts to see all the snow fall off the leaves.

How can I have both? How can I have it all?
Yet it seems only that will make me happy.


The seasons happen. In time. Every year.
How much I want a season to last? Every single time.
How much resistance I have to face something new?
Yet it happens. 

The Sky clearing out 

















I stood my ground to take it all in. 
I just was. 
Tried to grasp the world through my senses.

For a moment, I was glad I had my camera,
then, alas! what camera can see that my eyes do? 



O Elusive mind, what are you? 
When did you start ruling me? How did I succumb to you?
Are you separate from me?
Who am I?

Isha Yoga

Though I knew it, one of our family brought it to light that it has been a long time I posted here. I'd love to say that the last few weeks were pretty hectic & I just couldn't find time to write something here. Not so! The last few weeks have been totally different. I've had the time to do so many things that were in my "to do" list for a long time. Thanks to better management of time & sleep. The secret: a seven day yoga program. A very close friend forced me to join this course. I was hesitant & skeptical. I was not sure I was up for the 30 min twice a day commitment(40 days). I have a toddler & I really toggle between her & other work at home already. Plus what big change would come? But somehow, I registered for this class. Since I read somewhere that they give discount for married couples, I brought G in too(though the main reason would be to make sure I get through the 40 days). From the day I registered till the 1st day at class, this...

Where the tigers dwell

Exploring India's premier national park in Uttarakhand was a long-held dream realized. Jim Corbett National Park not only acquainted me with its resident tigers but also offered insights into the life of Jim Corbett himself. His literary works sparked my curiosity and offered company during breaks between safaris. Numerous moments left me in awe: The gentle descent of golden leaves from the towering Sal trees. The profound silence enveloping the forest. To interpret the language of the forest. The majestic presence of the Ramganga river. Witnessing two fish owls unsuccessfully pursue a yellow-throated martin. Hearing the measured tread of a tiger through the dry leaves and finally seeing it in its habitat(more than once). Perusing Jim Corbett's books within the park. Recognizing the profound significance of such sanctuaries, benefiting both wildlife and personal introspection. At times, the safaris seemed like a quest, a fervent pursuit to sight tigers. The outings typically co...
