  I’ve come to believe that when someone won’t make any effort to understand us, this is usually what it comes down: deep pain that’s blocking them from love. They might be shut down to everyone. Or specific ideas that trigger something from their past. Or maybe we, ourselves, are the trigger. Maybe we remind them of something they want to forget. Maybe our very presence forces them to come face to face with something they’d rather avoid.  If we really  want  understanding, maybe the key is to  choose  understanding. Maybe the secret is to broaden our perspective beyond what would make us feel safe in a moment so we can do our part to help create a greater sense of safety for everyone we encounter. Maybe by choosing to offer understanding, we can influence the people around us to heal their pains so they can one day open their heart a little wider. When they’re ready. When  they  feel safe. So what’s the best thing to say to someone who does...

 Each day I wake to start a day that's normal as can be. Some cooking, cleaning, working, as busy as a bee. But everyday the thoughts of you that buzz around my head Distract me from this busy life and I stop to think instead. As a friend as a grandma no one could take your place,  I'm so thankful you were in my life - you will never be replaced A woman of extreme strength, courage and love, Who was beautiful, soft and now peaceful and free as a dove. Someone on who my admiration was built around, As my grandma you were brought into this ground. With each passing day, a thought comes in mind So many memories that you left behind.  The years we shared were full of joy, Something that I could now never enjoy You lit up my life, my hopes, and my dreams. You've opened my eyes to see what it all means. So now that you're gone, how can I forget; Because you were the greatest out of all I have met. It's been 5 years since you've gone It still hurts all day long There i...

Soon after we wake up, The day starts with 9am sync up. Dealing with a problem that roars, Trying to Open our brain's pores, We all - the partners in crime, Strive to deliver the fix on time. Of Course, We Are H Team!    Logging for work early, Updating Y&M the status hourly, Dealing with different scenarios, Breaking normal project sterios, Coding designing and testing, All the time worth investing. Of Course, We Are H Team!    All of us - The dedicated resources, Many a times killing our personal spaces, Striving to reach tough goal, We give our heart and soul. Even without L1 and L2, We deliver every beat too. Of Course, We Are H Team!    From requirements write up to test set up, Crossing all the hurdles we are put up, Wonderfully balancing a rollercoaster ride, Marvelously managing responsibilities tide, Dealing with never ending JIRA tickets, We score open items off our buckets. Of Course...

The sun had just gone down. The darkness was slowly engulfing the sky. The Kulwant hall prayers had just got over. Myself and my brother were on the banks of Chitravathi looking at the photograph of our gracious lord on the other side of the river. The view was breathtaking. This place is charged with the grandeur of God. There are no bells and drums, but Swami is enlivening the atmosphere with Divinity here! Even the air sings the glory of the Lord at Chitravathi. It is a place where we could stand and drink the silence in; where you look across an absent sanctuary – No walls or roof- just a holy open space where God planted himself even before we drew our first breath.  My brother and me, on the banks of Chitravathi, were contemplating on the lord. Sometimes you meet someone, and it is so clear that the two of you on some level belong to each other – as a family, as friends, as brothers, whether you understand one another or not, you meet few people once in blue moon, out of nowh...

Yesterday was an easy day at work. I wrapped up my work sharp at 7:30pm and was sitting in the couch thinking something at random – my problems, my past, my failures, insecurities. I was sad, anxious. But… I was gloomy only for 5 minutes. And then I bounced back to my senses and was feeling grateful for what I have right now. One of my favorite quotes is "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans,"                                                                                                                           -John Lennon  I've seen this quote so many times but the meaning of it really struck me recently. (May be this is a sign that I not only...

Oh Dear Goldie, With no one to review gates, There was no pressure on days and dates. You made Y & M happily work, Like a normal clerk with no one to irk. You freed Y & M with gentle ease And gave them some mental peace. With no code to freeze, You were a gentle breeze.  You gave a break they deserved, Your memories will be well preserved. With nothing called IPT, The day was so pretty.  If all the morning become identical, You may soon become nonsensical. It is time to say you a bye And raise the curtain high. Y&M will treasure your happy memories, And send you out the door. Thanks for giving them the wisdom, To fight with what’s in store.

Dearest Lord  Till the last breath of mine, Till I lay there cold and hard, Ready to be burnt to ashes, And strewn in the Ganges, May I live every moment, Being of some use to you, To you, to them, and to the world! May I contribute in my way, Beautifying this world – In style that you choose - May be with another beautiful poem, Or another expression of love, Determined to discover depths deeper than ever, In the passion of love! May be by doing Narayana Seva, With utmost devotion, May be by singing a song, with all love in my heart, May be by any other way,  That you choose for me, Toiling for your grace - The ultimate goal of this birth ! Oh lord !  Make me live not for myself, Not for any ego, Or an identity of mine! Oh dear Swami... Make My life just a song, Of experience and expression, A song that tells your glory  A song that is dedicated to YOU
