The Currents of Restoration

Image
The only storm you can control is the storm within -Sangmitra With this ongoing crisis which has shaken up each human to its core we often struggle to maintain peace and calm in the midst these storms. The people have taken onto roles to panic in their unique ways - some think it’s the end of the world, some think it’s nothing and refuse to spare any amount of their seriousness and some people in the grey area think that simple hand washing could save the world. I am not here to tell you which one of you is right or wrong, that is not my job.  We humans are so obsessed with our mundane little lives that we refuse to see the big picture. The message that is being screamed at you! Reconnecting . Yes the Message here is to Reconnect! As almost each part of the world is in lockdown and people who have sensibly self-isolated themselves have to deal with one major issue (apart from the fear of the pandemic itself) is to live with themselves .   And meanwhile the Univ

A Message of Hope and Change

Image
All the different news from around the world have shaken things up. Political, natural, physical etc. all the levels are being shaken up. The people have suffered and those who weren’t there have suffered with knowing the pain of others and feeling helpless to change the circumstances.  But all this pain is bringing forth a transformation.

Are we really living our life?

Get up! Dress up! And Run!  This has become my way of living for the past 5 years now. It was one of those mornings again (well, all of my mornings) I got up in a hurry, hurriedly got ready and rushed to catch the 8 am bus to my work.   I didn’t intend to go to work today as my mother was ill and I had decided to see her but an important meeting came up and now I am here. The bus came to the stop, but that was not all, I have to walk two lanes to reach to my office building as the bus won’t go that far.  I was rushing down the lane but suddenly something brushed against my leg, I stopped to look what it was. A boy around 6-7 years old had tapped on my leg to get my attention, I looked at him to get an answer, “Your shoe lace” he said. One of shoes had its lace untied but I had no intention of tying them as I was already late. “You might fall, you better tie it, getting late is better than falling on your face” he said to me The surprise on my face was quite visible

It's been days, weeks even years and you have been feeling tired, cranky, irritated with no feeling of wonder or magic at all. You long for a nice rest, or a relaxing time but a mention of anything such makes you flinch and the mind fires back prompting you this is not the right time for these things. But let me tell you, if you listen to the mind you will always be left longing. If you are in this condition, then my dear friend your inner child is longing to play and have a good time. And I sincerely hope and trust that you are aware of the fact that within each of us is a child who brings a sense of wonder and joy to our world. Even if you didn't know that before now you do!
